(Topic locked) Even newer version here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1256
Ok, so I pulled the trigger and pushed this out to the beta site.
http://ota.versatilemonkey.com/beta/
That means people are going to start getting notified of a new version. At this point I think the features I wanted in there are there, and everything is getting stable-ish. Now is when I start to make it solid for releasing to the general public. (Always a fun day in my inbox)
For users coming from the older beta (2.6.9) a lot has changed. You're probably better off checking out this page for the change logs: http://ota.versatilemonkey.com/beta/
For those of you who've kept up with me, these are the changes in this release (video, 'car mode' and repeat playlists are the new features)
* Android: Working video (confirmed on Droid running 2.1)
* Android: Fixed a small leak
* Added 'Car mode' general setting (big playback buttons)
* "Add podcasts" button on home screen
* Android: Clicking widget text now takes you to main screen or 'now playing' depending on whether something is loaded or not
* Playlist setting to auto-repeat items
* Playlist setting to reset listened items when adding
* Android: Clicking home screen icon now takes you to 'now playing' if something is loaded
* Save playback state in more cases/more frequently
* More service logging for troubleshooting
There are a couple of android points worth noting. The audio routing has been totally removed. It was borking the whole system (other media players included). I'm researching this, but as of right now I can't find a reliable way to control it. I'd be very interested in hearing whether and how other apps handle it (make sure to include the android device and OS you're using, and specifically what the app can do for routing). For example, it appears possible to make this work on 1.5 and earlier, but for 1.6 and later I haven't found a way.
And, as always, keep letting me know what you run into.
