[WIP]LightMP3 Version 2.0.0

Hi! :)

I'm here to release LightMP3 Version 2.0.0 ALPHA. ;)
It's unfinished (it's an ALPHA version, no?), I release it only for testing purpose.

As you can see LightMP3 now has graphics (I used OSLib)! :)
It's skinnable (have a look at the skins directory, should be easy to understand), I'll make a document to explain how to make you own skin.
You can change element's position on screen, images, fonts and font's color.
It's multilingual (have a look at the languages directory, should be easy to understand too).
Media Library is still missing, but tracks' data are saved in a SQLite database. If you want to check the data you can use some SQLite client and open the file mediaLibrary.db
A free client is SQLite Expert Personal: http://www.sqliteexpert.com/download.html
Track's data are added to the database when you listen to it (but there'll be a function to scan the whole MS).

With Media Library you'll be able to browse tracks by Artist, Album, Genre, Year, Rating and make some search.

Battery lifetime seems the same as the "classic" version (if you activate "Economy mode" with START while listening to a track).
To rate your music keep pressed X and use UP/DOWN on the DPAD.

Here are some screenshots.
Don't consider too much the graphic (I've just made some semi-trasparent rectangle and got a decent background from the web).

Known bugs:
1.FLAC playback is broken (the app crash)
2.Suspend doesen't work (the app crash)
3.libMAD playback is almost useless (for now) because isn't streamed/buffered and the free memory is only 10Mb)
4.USB connection doesen't work
5.Help screens are missing

woot! dream come true, this app will be something :)

thanks for sharing this program just gets better and better......:)

Cool,Jehtro tull powa :P

WoW.
I like it.
I like it alot.
I had a question... and just forgot it... -_-'
well I like the star system and scrobbler log (I dont remember if it was in version 1.0)

this is looking great!
can't wait to test the full version.

Will it still use little battery and low cpu speed?
:D!

also, Since the bus speed can't be changed, does it affect the battery use?

Any chance you can add atrac3+ support? I'm talking about tracks made with sonicstage, they have the .oma extension. Apart from that this is the best music player out there for the psp, good work.

I would prefer AAC+ support over atrac or ape. As they are smaller files. xD
but I'm ok with Mp3 working like a charm.

Wow ! Looks good :tup:
Looking forward for the "real" release :)

a function to use the analoug nub/pad to change track and volume.
To put your psp in your pocket while walking without turning on hold.
That would be nice and thats what im missing from this appliation:)

wow! very nice.. i love the graphics :) it looks very sleek & sexy
good work mate :tup:

.wma support yet? (remember that message I sent ya :p)

Great work. The graphics look sweet. :tup:

pmmed sakya with a dutch launguage file.

Thank you for including the source! How else would we get the official sdk keyboard like you. Thanks sakya!

I'm sticking with your older version of your lightMp3. I love this app, but i use it to save battery life, and i think adding graphics should require a bit more power. However, the graphics are sexy.....mmmmm...

I'll wait for another update before trying it out again, sounds like your still making a good idea great though.

Great program, as always. And glad to see someone besides me listens to Jethro Tull.

The CPU clock doesn't change when I play an MP3. It stays at whatever the GUI is.

I sent you a pm with the following

Bug List:
when skin is set then deleted player stops loading but psp does not freeze

when changeing the cpu setting using the analog stick it sometimes resets to 19 and climbs up from there.

Cpu setting does not save between exits of app when changed with the analog stick(intentional?)

when the backlight check is used the file browser responds the the button pressed aswell (IE: pressing (x) loads the first file [or folder] pressin (O) moves the file brower up one folder)


Suggestions:
when hold is on turn screen off (changeable in settings)

if skin name does not exist load default (if default does not exist display "Skin error 404" then exit app)

Sakya, I really love this application! Thanks so much for continuing support and development for it. I'm looking forward to trying this version out. :tup:
I do have a question.
:PC:
Almost in any version (the latest ones, v1.6.x and up) I've had a problem running the application under IRShell (3.8 and still on 3.9).
Everytime I run it (under IRShell) it will play and then about 3 minutes later the psp will shut down.
I tested to see if it was b/c of repeat function, folder playback, depth of folder (from root directory) number of songs of folder and volume level. In all instances (and combined scenario) the psp did shut down after a few minutes. I'd count three to five minutes for it to happen.
Have you heard of this or are you aware of such a bug?

Let me know, thanks!
:Argh:
- problem occurred while I was on 3.71-4 and 3.80-5 w/kerne addon
- running IRShell 3.8x and 3.9x under 1.5 kernel
- on phat psp (TA-082) and using 4gb sandisk (orig)
- any other details? let me know.

Hi ! I'm translating the file lang.txt in french, but actually, when I put the language in french, the psp craches and says :

Hi! :)

Many thanks to all for support, suggestions and stranslations. ;)

@TriniteGQ: I don't really know (why it should crash after some minutes???). I'll try to make some tests.

LightMP3 can correctly playback AA3 files (I have some of them on my MS).
I never tested it with OMG or OMA but it should be the same.
SonicStage saves OMA and OMG in MUSIC folder or OMGAUDIO?
If it saves in OMGAUDIO try to move them in ms0:/MUSIC (or navigate to OMGAUDIO).
Let me know if it works. ;)

Sakya, I send you the lang.txt ;)

It will probably better to put all the files in the 'language' folder and call all the files with they country name no ?

By the way - can You Could do a much Faster Forwarding ??

Hi!

CPU clock with MP3 and OMA playback is not changed to the one set in settings menu. I mean it stays at 50 MHZ

Settings:

- Play MP3 using Media Engine Yes
- Automatic CPU Clock Yes
- CPU Clock: GUI 50
- CPU Clock: MP3 Media Engine 15
- CPU Clock: OGG Vorbis 45
- CPU Clock: ATRAC3 15

CPU clock is changed appropriately when playing OGG. I don't use FLAC so I haven't tried it.

Also the bitrate for an ATRAC3+ file I have encoded at 64kbit the interface shows it as 376kbit.

The clock bug is strange...works for me but you're not the first to report this.
Can you please try this little update?

Hi! I replied to your PM :)

Hi Sakya,

Your project is great, and it is very nice, especially for me being a graphic designer, to see it getting updated with a nice GUI.
I already started changing a few elements to get a feel for it, and see what works, and what could be improved for the final 2.0 version.
As it works now, the one bothersome element is the toolbar graphic, that gets repeated both on top and bottom, that really limits the flexibility for doing things, as you have to take care that it blends well both from the top and bottom. My workaround is to composite the elements I want in the background and just use a 100% transparent image.
Still, What I'd really like to see would be the possibility for completely controlling what gets drawn where, this both for images, and also for text, so you can have complete flexibility for making creative new gui's. You should also be able to select if you want to draw a background for the specific tabs or not, so if you don't use a certain element you can optimize the skin, not having it load blank images.
I'd also like to see the possibility for having different images for the buttons, this would increase flexibility further, and you could do things like having tabs with icons (with or without extra text).

Also:
how do we create .oft fonts?
What kind of image formats does the gui lib support, png24 is a given, PNG8?, GIF?

As for functionality wise, if you now have a gui, why not load covers for the albums?, it would be nice to be able to rate songs in the UI.

Can't wait to see this new version developed further. If it's any help, I'll make a little sketch of how i'd picture the gui, still bearing with simplicity and low resources in mind.

Hi! :)

@foXtrot: Are you on SLIM? If so it could be possibile that (for some reason I don't know) the minimum CPU clock is 19 (on FAT was 10)...
Are you able to set the CPU to values lower than 19 while playing a track?

@alfatreae: Many thanks for your interest.
I'll use two different images for top toolbar and the bottom one, and also for the buttons.

To create a font (OFT):
1.Download OSLib from here:
http://brunni.dev-fr.org/index.php?page=pspsoft_oslib
2.In the tools directory you can find font2oft.
3.Launch this commands in a DOS shell:

Code:

---

font2osl -convert "fontName" fontDimension "font.bmp" "font.txt"

---

and then

Code:

---

font2osl -create "font.bmp" "font.txt" "font.oft"

---

The images must be in png format (24 bit).

Yeah I'm on a slim. And no I was not able to set anything below 19.

Well.. I found a rather interesting bug... for some reason during the load up the "old school library" video clip thing split up into 4 "Screens" and played the same thing (it looked like a tiled wallpaper but moving) it stopped loading code (did not freeze) when it tried to load the skin. I do not have access to a camera right now. but i put my psp on charge and plan to take a picture in the morning.
