Help with PLS file for online radio station

I have been trying to get a PLS file (see the attachment) from an online radio station to work with no luck so far. I am new to Xenoamp so am probably just doing something wrong.

At first it wouldn't even show up in Xenoamp which is when I discovered my android phone was deleting the file. Apparently the Media Manager will delete playlist files if there is no media in the same folder. After googling it I found that I needed to create a .nomedia file in my playlist folder to have the PLS file remain.

Now when I try to open the PLS file in Xenoamp via it's file browser, it is showing it as empty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS

I am loving Xenoamp so far. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] The Gunner:
thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Quick answer - it's a shoutcast station, so you would probably have no problem finding it via xenoamp browser and add to your i.e. "online" playlist. I did that a moment ago, exactly the station you want. Adding this playlist via XenoAmp has an added benefit: you will see current track title and artist. If you add it via pls file, you won't.

Long answer - I have to investigate. As I said it's not worth adding it that way, as you will see just black screen with scrolling url, but maybe you've found a bug in pls handling... EDIT, ok, that was an easy one. The first line was "[Playlist]" which isn't valid for pls (should be [playlist]), but I guess I can ignore case on that one. What software created this playlist?

And as a cool down for this day. Since many of you liked Bonobo's track on my youtube video, here's newest Bonobo. The visuals are around 300µg, I guess, lucky guy this Cyriak!

RE: Help with PLS file for online radio station

Never used shoutcast before but it definitely sounds like the way to go. Thanks! :D

No idea as I downloaded the PLS file straight from SanctuaryRadio's website.
[Android Apps and Games] Nordir:
AGiLiT, ssuukk, you are right!

If i see 200+ pages in a thread i feel like having no patience in exploring anything if only i'm not VERY interested.

So my first impression might be helpful to ssuukk if he wants to cover the audience like me. If not then my post was just a piece of junk :)

And yes, it's a pity that people are more interested in games like Talking A**hole or Jumping Pou :laugh:

P.S. I think my post was helpful in this concern: probably it's important to emphasize in the app's description that "listening to audiobooks in xenoamp is probably like taking your familiy for a weekend trip in a tank" not to get low rating from disappointed customers (disclaimer: i'm not one of them) :)

Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.158 (29012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Sync still stops after the first song and doesn't resume. Boo.

Performance has improved in this version.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Heh, I wouldn't thought anyone would try to use music player for audiobooks, I'd assume that listening to audiobooks requires completely different set of features. But if Android is missing such software, maybe it's a good idea for another project. Probably not for me, as I have never had an audiobook in hand! :D

What I've learnt during last years is I should never say "I'm not a fan of <insert here> music". I used to loathe hip-hop, now It's probably the only bearable and honest music in Poland (apart from some of our export hits). So Bonobo was evolving, if you've enjoyed this piece, try his "Animal Magic" and "Dial M For Monkey", the latter with wonderful "Noctuary" and "D Song". But for me the last two albums are best.

Osmosis: http://playthisthing.com/game-taxonomy/osmosis

You know - there are at least 5 different kinds of sync in xenoamp at the momemnt. So which one?

Gmusic, the first track of any playlist is fine, but it does nothing after that.

No release today, as I decided (again!) to change vital structures. That can take several days to sort everything out, probably. Meanwhile, have fun with your music. I can correct some major bugs if they appear...

[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
balls. Sorry.

And you're definitely trying this IP while on your LAN/WAN and not on your 2/3/4G etc...? Yeah, I'm just asking the basic crap, that's all I know of. Maybe ssuukk will have some ideas.

Probably unrelated: how big is your subsonic database?
[Android Apps and Games] Koersten:
AW: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.158 (29012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Yes, Im on my home WLAN. I have about 60GB of music.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, subsonic support... You find your music in "Music" view, because directory browsing of subsonic is not implemented yet (probably next release), but first you have to sync your subsonic with xenoAmp. You do it from the same view (sync at the botttom), it may take ages and doesn't show any feedback (sorry! :D) but the progress is visible if you have live logcat. As I said it was veeeery slow for me. As soon as it grabs some tracks from susbonic, they should be visible and playable from music, you don't have to wait until sync is completed!

You know that your path should be:

xeno:/service/subsonic/192.168.178.47

right?

Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.158 (29012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Can I use this player with acid audio engine 6.1
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Odp: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.158 (29012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

If acid audio is sound enhancing engine, then I suggest disabling it and trying headphone calibration in xenoamp. No general purpose effect can be better than a custom measurement baked exclusively for your device/headphones/ears combination.

But feel free to use xenoamp with any effect engine you desire. :) the only thing that matters is the joy of music.

The difference between coloration and discoloration! And then there's the basic, if it sounds good it is good.

If only Xeno knew the difference between my 3.5mm cord to my stereo, my 3.5mm cord for my throw around headphones and my semi-pro headphones! We can't have it all, but the auto detection for output is one step closer.

i Really Love this musik player and i have tryied Poweramp and other Big Players but none is as good as Xeno

xeno widget functions

hello there

when playing from widget i need to press twice to play,first to load the player (i use the option to see xeno in notification) and second press to actualy play.

when stoping the player from the widget the player doesnt exit (still see xeno in notification) i need to enter the player and press back to exit.
[Android Apps and Games] paraandroideapps:
I'm liking this player every day a bit more...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Soory I've missed that one. It's really impossible to tell without logcat, but the message you see just explains that there was serious and unrecoverable error while trying to access your device's equalizer. It shouldn't happen if it worked before, unless you've changed your ROM!

If XenoAmp will be a free app? This was almost the first question asked in this thread. There will be:

- a free xenoamp that will support all the standard features music player should have

- a free "playlistless" xenoamp for those 6-year old kids that just want to listen to all their Justin Beiber/Lady Gaga tracks, shuffled

- a paid xeno that will have all the advanced features some of you enjoy + this version will get codec upgrade some time in the future, and will be able to play anything from MPC to SID :D

First thing is probably fixable. Second - since there's no stop button on the widget, the player just pauses. If this is really so important, I can add close button to widget. But is it really too much hassle to go back to WPS and press back?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It seems like communication problem (xenoamp is getting wrong response to "ping" or no response at all). Hard to guess, because I've had only one subsonic server for test, so far. So if you want it solved please create user account for me on this server, can be readonly and underprivileged, then mail me credentials and I will be able to debug. I can't imagine any other way, sorry! :D
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
A small update for those interested - I've broken XenoAmp again (it compiles, though) preparing it for completely asynchronous operation. So browsing local or online directories (shoutcast, samba, 8Tracks etc.) will be pretty real time and won't show any "loading" dialog box.

Of course a lot of features are broken at the moment, so you will have to test them and report what's wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
I am seeing the same thing. It started scanning but it seemed to take forever. So I plugged it to the charger and when I checked after 2 hours, it was still scanning. It had scanned 430k+ folders and the phone was hot! 52 degrees C.

I am using AOKP on SGH-i777. I used the 0.7 XenoAmp version. Any help?

Also, instead of making XenoAmp scan everything possible, would it be possible to make it scan a select few folders (like in PowerAmp)?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Right now I am working on these cyclic links. And yes - it is possible to enable/disable scanned dirs. Go to xeno file browser and select "on/off" from folder's context menu, annotation will change to "no media" and place a ".nomedia" inside the folder, making it unscannable by xenoamp (or any other player respecting .nomedia files). You can do it even while scanning the db, but it won't work until next scan.

NEW RELEASE 0.8

- Lockscreen widget on ICS and later - alive and kicking (earlier Androids will get only xenoampy widget, sorry! ...but then again maybe you won't be sorry if you see it)

- Finally fix this f#$!?* file scanning on all devices? Don't know. You tell me!

- Small bugfixes

Unfixed

- font size on low DPI

- Rare problem with Jelly Bean gapless when changing tracks

- Rare deadlock problem when starting internet streams

Suggested features so far

- Itunes synchronization (anyone able to explain what that means?)

- A playlist from all media

- A random playlist of required length

- Ask for media folder on start (XenoAmp will be better in detecting you current media folders, so this won't be probably needed).

News

Good news, everyone! I have a HTC HD2 for improving compatibility to Android 2.3.x
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
Thanks for your reply. I will check out v0.8.

About the on/off selection, I am aware of that. But in that case, I will have to set on/off for about 50 or 60 folders except for just 3 folders that contain music. I have my music in ext SD only. Now I cannot put .nomedia in the int SD base folder else Photo Gallery apps will stop recognizing pictures, ringtones, etc.

.nomedia will make the OS think that it has no music/video/pictures.

It's probably just my suggestion that the audio player should have its own tag maintenance to know which folders have music.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

Now the scanning is not starting at all.

I clicked on Pref > I feel recursive, but that did not help.

Let me know how I can provide you any debug logs. Should I send you the logcat while I am clicking on "I feel recursive"?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Are you able to send me a logcat?

Yeah, I'll probably create a scan folder chooser eventually. I just don't want noob users to face it as a first thing when they run xenoamp. It would be just too disencouraging. Besides, if I can't make a stupid filesystem scanner work, what CAN I do?!

WHAT ABOUT LOCKSCREEN WIDGET PEOPLE?

Getting better and better!

On my HTC One X scrolling is quite slow and stuttering, even with reported 40/50 fps. I think this is about

- hw acceleration vs text. Would you consider replacing text shadows with a subtle backdrop? I think this would ease computations and improve readability over covers (often quite bad readability), perhaps making things even more minimalist, neat and clean.

- scrolling is perhaps too fast and sensitive, pushing contents loading to crisis. Would you consider slowing down scrolling, so to be able to keep it up with contents loading?
[Android Apps and Games] Jimi_K:
Hi, really nice player you created. With the latest versions it's stable enough for me to do more serious testing. The lockscreen is working fine for me.

One bug I have is that I can't jump to a time in the first quarter of the song. When I touch the blue ring in the first quarter nothing happens. In the other areas it jumps correctly to that time.

OK, thanks, I'm excited for future updates. Very quick development process right now.

Dear curious users, I strongly disencourage installing this work in progress version, but still if anyone could test this on slow/old device I'd be grateful.

This build has a lot functions missing (mainly services), and could possibly clear your playlists, when you sweep header left right, so just don't do it!

Go to music view and see if it works decently. It has no zoom (but probably it will be possible), but is made entirely from fast Android standard widgets/views. It is also heavily animated, that's I'm concerned how will it behave on old devices. On emulator I haven't seen anything animated, so it might be possible the animations won't work on <11 Androids...
