After eight beta releases it is finally here: The Gmu Music Player version 0.7.0. This Gmu release comes with full source (GPLv2 licensed) and is available for the GP2X (with Open2X firmware), the GP2X Wiz, the Dingoo A320 (with Dingux) and the Ben NanoNote.
Please note that due to the new theme engine old Gmu skins are no longer compatible with this release. Creating new themes is rather simple though. For those who are interested in creating Themes for Gmu, just have a look at the supplied default theme for now. If I find some time, I’ll write a little theme creation tutorial later on.
Compared to the last beta release there are only a few minor changes and bug fixes. Most of these changes are relevant for porting Gmu to new devices and are less visible to the end user. Still, it is worth upgrading Gmu even if you have been using the last beta release, as some bugs have been fixed.
Attention Ben NanoNote users: In the current firmware (2010-03-26) libSDL is broken, which prevents Gmu from working with that version. To use Gmu you need to replace it with a working version. For your convenience I’ve added a suitable version to the downloads (see below). You need to replace the file in /usr/lib with this versionn (or another working version). This libSDL version is compiled with fbcon support instead of directfb (which seems to be broken).
