openMobile 0.8 Released

**ws6vert** · 10-17-2010, 03:17 PM

I just tested using your configuration.

When you uninstall, did you tell it to remove the data as well for a completely fresh install? When you initially start it, does it show it is indexing the music, and can you post a debug log (have to install OMDebug)

And you can remove the "-fullscreen" tag from the shortcut to have it open outside of fullscreen.

Windows 7 Professional 32bit

Only installed plugins:
Built-in media player
Openmobile Database

Skins:
Default skin: core
Default skin: music

First install:
Music button doesn't do anything, highlights when I press it though
Plugins button takes me to the plugins screen with a "Loading..." but never progresses past that.

After a couple restarts with no effect, I uninstall and reinstall
Second install:
Plugins button still goes to plugins screen with a forever "Loading..."
Music button now takes me to the music browser screen with 3 songs from my C:\Users\username\Music folder which i assume is default for the plugin. None of the songs will actually play though, and the media buttons have no effect.

Questions:
- Is there any way to not do fullscreen? I didn't see any settings for it. Just a convenience thing for me when testing on my home pc, I'd never use it non-fs in the car.
- I just assume the media location settings are in the plugins that aren't loading. It's been a while since I played with the last version (which was uninstalled previous to 0.8 install)

Hope this is useful!

If its not indexing the correct location then obviously you need to tell it where to look. To do so check out the step by step in our documentation:

It did ask me to remove the data, I selected yes. When I started it it did not show it indexing, but I only have 3 mp3s in the default directory so I probably missed it.
I'll install the debug thing and see what it spits out.
Thanks for the quick response, guys.

Theres an issue with the settings skin and screen two...thought I rolled out an update but the debug log says otherwise...will try to push that out asap and it should fix your issues.

It still happens. But doesn't not seem to happen quite as often.

Cheers,
John

What size music collection (rough estimate)...and what type of hard drive (ssd, 7200rpm, 5400rpm, desktop/latop)

Music is currently approx 350 songs (small by most standards). 5400 SATA laptop drive.

@all:
Default Skin-Core, OMPlayer and OMDVD have been updated to address various reported 0.8 bugs.
* Settings panel stuck on "Loading..." in multi-screen setups
* OMPlayer crashed when media keys were used
* OMDVD error message with non-standard chapter layout
* OMDVD 64bit issues
* Various other minor bugs
To update the plugins, go to Start -> OpenMobile -> Install Additional Plugins. Then select the above skin and plugins and click download and install now.

Interesting...will have the team run a few simulations on slower drives and see if any issues popup.

i tried this in my personal laptop with fedora 13 on it. after adding some missing dependencies i was able to bring up the main screen. i had it scan a part of my audio collection and it showed that th scan wa complete but when i click the music button nothing happens is it because of fedora?

i tried it with ubuntu 10.10 in a virtual machine but it could not start even after adding the dependencies. something with mono was not working. was it because of the vm or if i encountered another bug?

gandotratushar:

I am guessing that a lot of the problems we are having is due to the version of mono each distro maybe running. Could you post what version of mono you are using?

I have the same issue as your 1st one on a mandriva box, built from SVN.
