2007/4/3, Frantisek Dufka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Yes, another bug :-) Would be nice to have this marvellous metadata idea
optional. I keep my files structured and mostly I just want to play
specific directory recursively (even with more levels). This simple (and
maybe often used) use case seems to be not supported very well in
current media player. The only way I found is to open one directory in
filemanager and mark all files and select open.
I will try to search bugzilla and add this opinion somewhere when it is
up again but I guess this could be first discussed here too since maybe
the whole idea need some thoughts?
What I do about this is circumvent this whole business:
Maemo Service Handler:
http://tuomas.kulve.fi/blog/2007/01/27/maemo-service-handler/
I shut down metalayer-crawler, and remove it from the boot. No more
indexing then, but no more use of the media player either. So, what I
use is
Kilikali:
http://kilikali.garage.maemo.org/
which, although admittedly still rough on the edges (UI wise), fits
the use case we seem to share pretty well.
As a bonus, it also won't *prevent* you from playing your ogg/vorbis
music as the media player seems to do. A bit of development and it
should allow other formats too, provided that you install a
demuxer/decoder for it.
That said, people who have just mp3's and really want to have that
database approach and don't want to hand-add every file/directory are
probably better off with the current solution. With all it's problems
and limitations (and confusing UI ;).
