qtmoko - media player errors

2011-05-23 Thread Robin Paulson
hi,
i installed the codecs application this week, to allow my phone to
play back mp3 files.

i have copied some of my music to the phone and attempted to play it.
around 5% of the tracks will play, the rest will not - i've tested
probably 80. the track is ether skipped entirely or a message pops up
'the connection was broken'

any ideas what is happening? i'm using the default qtmoko media
player, and mp3s mostly encoded with LAME (not that this should
matter, should it?).

There was always something wrong with the default media player, but i have 
never had time to look at it. You can try to enable media category in log 
and then check the sources, but i can't help more with this problem atm.

Alternatively you can use qmplayer which uses mplayer as backend and works 
just fine.
