Update to my experiments..

I have set both _FAV_.m3u8 & _NET_m3u8 thus:

#EXTINF:0, - MBWE (samba)

smb://192.168.0.2/

#EXTINF:0, - PAVILION (windows)

smb://192.168.0.19/

Using either _NET_ menu option on Xeno Root page or MBWE/PAVILION from Favorites list (press/hold Xeno Root) I can now access & stream from both Samba & Windows based media servers.

Where it falls down is by specifying IP locations in _NET_.m3u8, network neighbourhood discovery is not taking place. This is most apparent when backing out of share locations by swiping page to the left. Eventually it brings you to the WORKGROUP. Tap this & you are given the media servers, tap one of these & you get the blank pages again (reverting to neighbourhood?)

Workaround for changing media server is to press/hold current page title & select from Favorites menu.

At one point I did have neighbourhood discovery working (no entries in _NET_.m3u8, I think) but then I broke it. Tomorrows mission.....

I have the windows files playing using your settings..

My other sets of music is on Mac and SAMBA server. Can you explain how to get the SAMBA working. I can only see the IP address but no files.
[Android Apps and Games] Pop Tarantula:
1st, ensure your samba shares are available to 'guest' user.. i.e. try ES File Explorer, add server under LAN as anonymous (only requires IP address).

If you can access files & folders, then you should not require a secrets.xml file in xenoamp folder on sdcard.

On my NAS, (hacked WD MyBook) I initially had minimum permissions set to NONE, hence blank pages. Using it's management page, I elevated PUBLIC share to READ ONLY for guests & that solved basic access.

Once I had this minor success, I then started looking at 'authorised users' & added credentials for xenoamp t use (I tested them using ES first too).

At one point, I could only view Samba files through the Favourites menu (press/hold Xeno Root title, not via _NET_ ). I presume this was when I only had edited _FAV_.m3u8.

Regarding Google Music: it might work probably, the thing is Google Music is available only in US. So I can either

- develop it blindfolded, as I won't be able to test it

or

- some nice American might give me access to American proxy server that would allow me to test it (don't worry, it's perfectly legal, you won't get FBI, CIA, FDA, DEA, IRS, NRA or KKK knocking your door for this!)

The code for google music is already in XenoAmp, all you would have to do is add your credentials to secrets.xml (I will have to check what is xeno path for google music) and keep your fingers crossed, because whatever code I write, I won't be able to test it without proxy or a flight to USA. It migt just crash badly.

Just read an article on engadget about Google Music -> quote: "..the rub seems to be that Google checks your IP address on your first attempt to log in, and accept its terms of use -- only the first time.."

If it's true & you cannot get hold of a suitable US proxy ,I have a couple of those 'beat the block' server scripts (PHP & CGI) that I could install to get you past that first hurdle..... edit: On reflection, I guess they need to allow you worldwide access so only the initial login must come from an 'approved' location, thereafter any IP should be acceptable.
[Android Apps and Games] vicky4112:

RELEASE 0.137

Introducing: xeno remote control!

From the beginning. Imagine you've connected XenoAmp to your 400 W living room AV equipment to play some sexy music, stuffed your vape with best dope and put yourself and your loved one in a bathtub. What happens when you decide to change the music xenoAmp is playing? Go out of bathtub, leave wet tracks on your floor and touch your gadget with wet hands? Naaaah! Bad idea. Instead take a tablet to your bathtube, open its browser and enter:

http://your_xeno_device_ip_or_name:41075

Neat? OK, it's not finished, but when finished... wow! That would be something!

At the moment you can do prev/next, play/pause and change played music.

Warning: this web service can't be used to steal your data (it won't transmit any file), but it IS possible that someone in the same network will be able to stream your SMB shares bypassing SMB security, as this very same serive is used to stream SMB.
[Android Apps and Games] vicky4112:
I can not see the LAN server under anonymous. It says "Error can not find the server" The server is on a MacPro running Lion. Even though the settings are checked and file sharing is on in MacPro something is blocking it. I have researched on this issue and it seems that Apple has changed its SMB service starting from Lion. There is a program called SMBUp which replaces the legacy Samba server but then there might be some other issues. Currently I can connect to my Windows PC from MacPro in the Finder using SMB protocol. But connecting to Mac is the problem. It sucks.

Anyway, I am also curious to hearing from you about the Google Play set up. I am in USA and am willing to test it out.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Pop Tarantula:
for me, it is 1st day back to work after holidays, so I'm exhausted.

Will have a brief play with .138 as it sounds like I'll like what I see re: smb :)
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
Shhh, we're listening to music!

Actually to follow up on the default album art issue I had, still no go, tried different images, relaunching the app, rebooting the phone... I may have some more ideas/critiques for tomorrow, I'll be riding the subway for most of it. Not to mention my latest addition to my music from the holidays:

I'm going to be busy.
[Android Apps and Games] ickk:
The video was great, I hadn't yet discovered Bonobo but am interested in similar sounding music (mainly deep/dark/minimal/ambient). If not for this post I probably wouldn't have came across downtempo. Not exactly related to the app but thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Just discovered this app (I've been using PowerAmp).

I've only been using it for a few hours, so I'm still getting a hang of the controls and the settings, but so far I like the interface.

I just wanted to report one weird thing that keeps happening: whenever I pause a track or exit XenoAmp (pausing a track and hitting "Back") the music will stop for a second, and then play again for a couple of seconds, and then finally stop playing.

edit: Just noticed something else -- after exiting XenoAmp, the notification icon comes back on, yet I can't control the track. If I start XenoAmp up, I can't start the track nor advance or go back a track. However, long pressing still brings up the menu and I can navigate through those just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
What's that list? Is it the famous iTunes or something?

Well, for me Bonobo is the god of such kind of music, but you can find a lot more somehow connected. Try "Pretty Lights" first.

If you'd be able to send me logcat captured while both occur, I could investigate, the first one is reported for the first time, the other one is known, I just need to discover what triggers the restart.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
What indeed. It is a Playlist in iTunes of all my new music which I have yet to listen to. About 19 days worth of continuous music could be played. That's not a lot, right? :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, so maybe you can explain me what does the oft-requested "iTunes synchronization" mean?

Doest the sentence "A java console application that allows you to sync iTunes libraries between clients and a server" mean anything to you? Can you explain me what it means (except the "java console application", which I know what it is).

In 0.138 when I chose a skin view music view went weird and album art faded and I couldn't scroll
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You mean you've choosen white skin?
[Android Apps and Games] BWolf56:
I can't get a logcat for now but Xeno seems to restart when connected to the internet and/or bluetooth (stereo or headset). Not sure if that helps but I'll try to get a logcat asap.

EDIT: Ok, actually the process doesn't stop when you exit the app with ''back'' when you have nothing playing as it should so it restarts after a min or so.

RELEASE 0.139

xenoRemote: Added music view and current playlist

Credentials accessible from prefs

8Tracks working again + fixes (display plays and likes, rating in Xeno causes like in 8Tracks if logged in)

Credentials may not be polished, but I was able to enter all my passwords there. The activity should pop automatically when trying to access new, unknown share (not sure how it will behave with these guest shared shares now!)

I see you're not into gadgets, as nobody's testing XenoRemote. It now has current playlist and all playlists link, music view should also work, but doesn't do anything besides displaying.

8Tracks show likes and playcount, rating in xeno stars the track in 8Tracks (if you add your login to credentials!)

P.S.: I've lost last hope of getting my hands on google music. Those b*rds not only check your IP, but require american credit card. So the only way for me to test it is get someone's credentials. Otherwise it's rather impossible to implement it.
[Android Apps and Games] Pop Tarantula:
don't give up just yet.. I've got access to use Google Music (officially) in UK without needing US payment cards... Not used it though

I'm at work so no time to check right now, but I'm thinking you should only need to register a card if you want to buy stuff. The music manager should allow you to upload regardless..
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Tried it yesterday. I went to veryfying page. I have one card registered, it was grayed out with info "not usable" or something, and it was asking me for another card wihich will be bille "0 USD", to verify if I amelligible to use the service... Sheeesh...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
P.S. Sorry for not fixing default icon change, fixed in next release.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
What about a US-based giftcard from Visa or something? Then just pick a random US address thanks to google maps?

No idea. Sorry mate. the only "syncing" i do is have Subsonic scan my iTunes library and stream it. But if I follow you correctly... you're saying something about geting Xeno to talk with iTunes?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
How do I obtain one?

YEEEESSSSS! :D
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
Yeh I chose white skin and got problem when I switched back problem stayed

Ps will try remote when I get home! Looks exciting
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Heh, now hat? Gapless playback works even for smb streaming! Didn't expect that!
[Android Apps and Games] Pop Tarantula:
Heading home shortly. As I already use Google Wallet for Play Store, I presume I can use the UK music service without further 'verification' required. I'll have a look at her phone/account & see what it asks for, as she has no payment methods logged.. free apps only for her..

I doubt a Gift Card will work as they need to debit/credit a card as proof you exist/live at given address. If this is required before you can use even the free services then I guess you are dead in the water until they add this service to your locality. If you can use free services without adding a card in currently approved locations, then you may be able to register a new Google account via proxy, which might screw with your development testing unless you have a 2nd device to use specifically for that purpose/account. As the article says, once verified they don't care where in the world you are...

Be back later with news/findings... :)

eidt: Dammit! Verification required even for FREE user account! There is a possible solution but it would require a completely new account, I guess. PM2U.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Some observations on .139 (and maybe back a couple):

Going to credentials center in prefs causes FC.

When starting XenoAmp, icon doesn't appear in notification bar. Start play and it's there. Pause and exit and it's gone (as expected.) This may prevent telling if and when XenoAmp is coming alive on it's own.

In Music list, as I recall, you set some defaults for tapping to zoom in (always goes to smallest view regardless of starting zoom) and zoom out (to not quite the largest view - I get two covers in portrait mode). When I am in portrait mode, even if there is blank space available in the row after zooming out (i.e., only one cover is showing, ttapping will not zoom in; it goes to track listing. In landscape view, tapping in the blank space will trigger zoom in.

Feature request: I've been exploring some Shoutcast streams. Many come with artwork, which shows in the playlist. It would be nice to bring the artwork into WPS if possible.

As far as iTunes syncing: personally, I don't think it's worth the effort. I think it would have to offer two things: Syncing playlists and syncing the library. iTunes can't even manage the latter properly.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Showing shoutcast and 8Tracks icons on WPS used to work (and should work), but was lost somewhere on the way, and I didn't think it's a priority. As for rest of your post, I'll check and fix it. Running credentials works ideed differently on older Androids. I thought I coded it right and didn't run it one emu, sorry :)
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
No problem; it's not anything I think I'd be using in the forseeable future: I was just exploring what happens when you push new buttons.;)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
What a pity, this was one of these features I've been looking for since I first heard about XenoAmp!
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
Ebay? Amazon? I don't buy giftcards but I've received them before.

Current thoughts i relation to XenoAmp:

•(this is the only one from .138..I think) was having XenoAMp start up on it's own. I thought it was when I turned on my data connection but the results are inconclusive. The app doesn't do anything I can tell except sit in the notifications bar, paused. If I learn more I'll post more with a more recent build.

• Would removing the artwork smooth out the app in the music library screen? If you like, offer a little switch in a feature release and I'll let ya know how quicker if at all she feels. It may not be enough to notice but it won't hurt trying, I hope.

Odd Behaviors:

• Main Screen fading of title or Album... These don't appear when a new song begins, and don't fade when you first load Xeno... until you touch the screen.

• Since Album art disappeared so did individual albums:. Possibly because when the track listing fills up the screen swiping left/right does nothing.

• When viewing the track listings, swiping left right needs to be fixed (as mentioned before). But I would also say swiping up and down.

• Swiping between Albums is a little annoying, I tink because of how it glides depending on how forceful the swipe was. Is there a better way to make the albums snap into view (with their track listings)?

• I do like the idea of "All of ..." If someone touches the artist's name it goes to view "All of ..." but also swiping right would bring up the first album etc. In other words, making "All of" an invisible album still discoverable via swiping in album view or pressing on the artist name.

• A few times the lock screen (Im using the Android version) will disappear. Toggling the Xeno/Android preference doesn't turn on Android but does work with turning on/off Xeno.

That's all for now.

For the life of me... I feel so stupid... I can not find how to exit Xenoamp... Help :(
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
From WPS, tap to pause, then back button to exit.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I hope I did this right, I've never captured a logcat before. I used AIOlog v.0.5 and used it's "continuous" capture mode. This is using XenoAmp 0.139.

The first log file "logcat(1).txt" is me pausing the track and it starting up for a second or two before completely pausing.

The second log file "logcat(2).txt" is me pausing a track (and getting the same pause/play/pause problem above), then hitting the "Back" button to exit. I then watched my notification bar for a few minutes until the XenoAmp icon reappeared, whereupon I stopped the logging.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wfsieu4gkre3s06/logcat(1).txt

https://www.dropbox.com/s/75otupl053fpnh8/logcat(2).txt

I have to use these DropBox links, because the files are just a bit over the 512 kb limit xda allows for this type of file, apparently.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Get the logcat. I am logging each restart.

Removing the artwork wouold make it many, many, many times smoother. Loading, resizing, kepping cache, displaying - that all costs a lot.

I don't think I get that one...

Sweeping left/right will be fixed. New Sheet release was a bit rushed and never finished :) What android version are you using? Android lockscreen is available only in >ICS.

Well, you can't. I have to code it first, but as mentioned in this thread I can't do it until I am either able to

1) create my own google music account (may be possible with "gift" visa card)

2) get credentials from some U.S. user

OK, thanks!

How about a 'pure' music playing version with no online connectivity.

I didn't get much info from a thread search but i'm sure this has been mentioned: simple headset controls. The only thing i'm really missing is a 1 press pause/resume functionality for headset button.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
The thing is I've never seen a headset with buttons, and "normal" bluetooth controls were reported working a few times.

Yes, without online functions. As lite as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] BWolf56:
Just got my S3, I'll be testing some more with bluetooth and provide logcats when possible. Last I tested (0.138), bluetooth took 3 ''play'' to actually start playing a song. I would go like this: 1st: Open the app, 2nd: show the song on system on pause, 3rd: unpause the song and start playing.

A small update on Google music - thanks all for help, I still can't get over country verification, so I'll try shooting in the dark - next version will try to list your Google Music playlists (add credentials in credentials manager, go to services in browser).

There's 1:2 chance that it will work. It crashesh with my credentials, but you know - mine are not country verified. So maybe you'll be more lucky.

Heee, heee, I don't think I ever looked at it. Probably still stays in the box, shrink wrapped! :)

So what should the button do again?
[Android Apps and Games] SimboXXX:
With most media players it is just a single click for pause/play (so you don't have to dig you're phone out you're pocket). On PowerAmp it also does 2x click = forward track. 3x click = back track.
