Only Media player that detected all of my media. Still not all of the video's (all avi) were screenshot, but it found everything and I can play everthing.
Only free media player for the N800, and a pretty good one at that.
Installed version 1.621. The interface is great, and beautiful. It has one major glitch: the name of the song is playing is different from the one actually being played.
A dreadful application which even makes it hard for you to delete it.
Annoyance 1: On installation it give the option to put it in the menu under a chosen sub-menu. Well it puts the main "uktube" option there, but stuffs "UKMP Dark" under "extras" just the same.
Annoyance 2: uktube interface has an input field to paste in a youtube(etc) URL or select a local file. But the field won't accept any input. Where there appears to be a drop-down menu at the top, it doesn't respond and there's no help whatsoever.
Annoyance 3: UKMP Dark spends ages scanning memory cards every time it starts up.
Annoyance 4: completely random album covers appear to "illustrate" the albums I have on my card.
Annoyance 5: I don't know where it's finding labels for the various albums, but it certainly isn't in the directory names or in the OGG Vorbis tags. I apparently have a large number of albums called "2"
Annoyance 6: Try to unistall it. There's no sign of anything called "UKMP" in the installed applications list, so evidently it's installed itself as something else. It's going to take a lot of digging into .deb files just to get this hopeless application off my machine.
Unimpressed in the extreme.
Yeah. Ogg support is not good at the moment. It will be improved hopefully soon.
In the v1.4 stage of UKMP, I can finally say that I LOVE this media player. And, with the UK-Tube integration, it's a must-have for any IT owner.
