The Enigma2 Media Player

Intoduction

The Media Player was developed as part of the Open Embedded project.

It is therefore delivered with all standard images, unless the image builder chooses to exclude it.

The Media Player is able to play all the different media formats supported by the box it is running on, for example TS-Streams and MP3's. On the DreamBox 8000 the Media Player can also play AVI's.

Note the accent is upon play. It does not display pictures (jpeg bmp tiff).

There is no search function so its probably wise to organise your music and films into Folders and Sub-Folders. The Jukebox plugin does have a search function.

As an alternative to the Media Player, you may wish to consider using the Media Center plugin.

To open the Media Player use the <Menu> Button on the remote control use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the entry 'Media player' and then select it using the 'OK' key. The highlighted area of a list is refered to as the cursor, so the phrase "Select the Media player with the cursor and press <OK>" can also be used to describe how to select entries.

Main Menu

Main Panel

When you start the Media Player for the first time it looks like this. To start finding your way about in the media player, try pressing the <HELP> button on the remote control, all the functions available are listed together with which key they are assigned to.

Media Player Main Panel

Note that this window is divided into three parts. In the top part you can see information about the currently playing media (information), in the middle part, you can see the navigable directorty sctructure (file tree), at the bottom (playlist) the currently selected media files - as you have not selected anything yet it is empty.

Functional Summary

Use the arrow keys on the remote control (up and down) to move to a directory you want to browse, select that entry with <OK>, The entry <parent Directory> in the file tree returns you to the directory you came from. This allows you to navigate in the directory tree. If you press <OK> while the highlight selection is on a file, that file will be added to the playlist, you can move between the playlist and the file tree by using the <BOUQUET> rocker keys (+)file tree (-)Playlist, press <OK> on an entry in the playlist and the media player will start to play the playlist from that point. When a music title is being played the information available in the file (mp3) will be displayed and the CD cover will also be displayed if available.
You can exit the Media Player at any time by using the <EXIT> key.

In the information area there is also a solid line that shows how much of the file has currently been played, as well as icons for rewind (red) play (green) pause (yellow) and fast forward (blue). They are there to remind you that the these functions are available during playback on the colour keys of the remote control. <RED> <GREEN> <YELLOW> <BLUE>. However these keys do not work as expected. Red skips to the previous playlist entry , blue skips forward to the next playlist entry, yellow selects any audio options and green appears to do nothing.
