Hey all,

Okay, too bad, i thought wmp read from the id3 tags in an mp3, plus the albumart jpeg. Anyway, with regards to letting pythonce and Flash go. I'm gonna have to convert melody to truly native C++ MFC code. Ofcourse this will take some time, and any help from experienced C++ developers would help. I've been looking for links that might help with learning C++ specifically for our environments, but haven't found much. As far as the finger scrolling is concerned, larna has made the source code for iContacts open to everyone. So I'll have to use that to scroll songs.

Having said this, I probably won't be posting much on the thread until I've made some significant progress, because this exercise will take up a lot more time, and will be (without doubt) MUCH more harder. But the benefits of creating this app in C++ greatly outweigh the hardships endured to get there. If anyone has any useful links that could help, they'd be GREATLY appreciated! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] philocritus:
where? couldn't find it :(

I would really like to take a look at that piece of brilliant coding!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lastnikita:
I can only encourage you to act this way :)

While I'm still not experienced myself in C++ programming, I've been collecting a few source codes to work on them.

If you want info or you wish to practice along with me, I'd be glad to answer a private message ;)

About album art (which I couldn't test yet because none of my songs do have embedded art :(), I guess your soft should always prefer an embedded art before looking at a separate picture file.

That way, songs would still have an album art while they are isolated from their folder (when copying single songs from a computer by example).

Keep up the hard work... I'll definitely keep an eye on that thread !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] utak3r:
Good move! It will get significantly faster and more powerful :)

I can help, but... my spare time is just like nothing ;) Let's say that you make some skeleton app and find some task for me.

seems like i can make melody to work in playing my music ... but still cannot get any cover ??? if i use winmedia player at my pc i can see the album cover, do i need special program to make the cover?

i found one with album cover but when i touch the cover album it give an error

Melody.exe

KeyNotFoundException
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Ok everyone, I've compiled my first button hello world application using VC++ under MFC. Lol, MILES away from re-creating melody, but even such a simple application feels snappier, or maybe it's just me. Anyway, Development of the .NET version of melody has officially stopped, and anyone who wants the source can drop me a PM. It's pretty good learning material for someone who's learning to code under the .NET CF.

Will update the main page in a minute. :)

With all due respect to the performance of programmers for this software can not simply someone a plugin for audio HTC manager with the then album cover as for the IPhone scrolling For example, after pressing library then CoverArt and finished the HTC Audio Player is but it is leading most to CoverArt and not a new player or?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Luochao522:
thank you very much .l have appreciated you guy

I hear that you will get rid of this Python software to develop a newly fantastic scroll tool, l believe that you will success in work of melody.may be you will go through exam.you do not extract much time to perfect this application,as far as concerned this exam ,it is important for you career.you would pay more attention to this event. after done,you may try best to develop this gear that become a perfect IPHONEmelody software. although I am not good at English .I still wait for you message l appreciated you very much

y can't my melody work properly??? whenever i tried to screen the screen to album cover mode some errors appear. It is working fine in normal mode. Its only when i click on the third button to change the screen??? i have installed all the software listed on page 1....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zer0day:
I installed it on my HP rw6815, I keep getting a similar error to the person who posted before. (I couldnt copy the error for some reason). I have the Flash ActiveX and the Python app installed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orchids:
Still can't get album art to show

I'm having the darndest time getting the album artwork to show. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

I use MediaMonkey and tag the album artwork through Amazon (it's a feature on MediaMonkey). When I play the song on MediaMonkey, I do see the artwork. I then send the song to my 6700 (that's a feature on Media Monkey too). I then play Melody and prompted to get album art, I click yes, Python open trying to get the album artwork. I see "No APIC found", therefore there's no album artwork displayed. The song plays just fine though.

What am I doing wrong?

I've tried to copy the song from MediaMonkey instead of "sending" it but still no artwork.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
To everyone who has problems with current Melody:

Just to let you guys know, I've officially stopped the development of the .NET version of melody, and I've started intense learning of C++ Win32 development. Having said this, I wont be able to support any errors or problems you might have with the .NET version, in an effort to have a native version of melody out ASAP. Once this is done, a new thread will be created. However, I have posted the source for version 0.7 on the main page, and anyone is free to pick it up and even release new versions if hey so desire.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
Chad, just a suggestion, you may post something to this effect in post #1. Otherwise, you'll probably keep getting these type of posts with people giving errors.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
So said, so done. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Update

Just a little update for those interested.

I've successfully painted the main player's user interface in C++. I decided to drop MFC and go head first into the raw win32 API. I suspect this will help me out a lot when I take a real look at larna's code for iContact. I've also managed to code a make shift playlist using a regular list box for now.

Tomorrow, I'll be looking at either the use of fmodce or media player, to playback mp3 files. Activex support is there straight out of the box, so it shouldn't be THAT difficult for wmp. Keep your fingers crossed, and by tomorrow you might just see a thread for Melody++ (Until I find a better name), with the ability to scan for mp3s, play them back, and make use of a regular listbox for the playlist. That's how I started the .NET version isn't it??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
Thanks Chad

Already planning a release... You must have been up all night.

If people need support for the .net version, im willing to provide it. Im going to compile a list of errors people have recieved and their solutions, along with pictures showing where to swipe and what buttons do what. And if i cant solve the problem, then maybe others can help.

I just want to keep it going rather then being massive for 0.8/0.81 then slumping before Melody ++ is released. And Why not start a suggestion thread for the name again [was it a thread or poll or whatever] because people came up with a great name before. I like melody to be perfectly honest. Itunes doesnt change name after releases, so why should melody. But i guess the numbering convention would be screwed if you stick with melody.

Anyways good luck...

And as always.... Don't let your studies fall behind [says i, planning to not go to maths or stats] :P

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Thanks Rory

Nice to see you continuing the support, it's exactly what I hoped for. I hope my nasty .NET code doesn't drive you crazy, lol. Great suggestion though, about the name, so I'm going to start the new thread right now. Hopefully we might have a name before I make that first native release. And ofcourse, I'll be checking this thread as per usual, very often, but I might not be responding as often as I used to ;). [Lol, maybe no Linguistics or Poetry for me] :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lastnikita:
Melody is very fine, maybe keep it with a 2.01 version number ?

I get an error when running Melody 0.81 on my ppc (HP iPAQ 2210 - WM 2003).

I installed all required programs. "Melody 0.8 PRE Release" runs normally but there are problems of using it :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
chad...

i meaant to say no music works, headphones do, but theyre such bad quality, good idea though, may do it tomorrow before work if i cant sort it...

definitely not a melody problem, because not my phone speaker [the one you hear the person's voice from] doesnt work either.

anyways, hopefully ill do it tomorrow

melody walkthrough for 0.81

ive finally made the picture walkthrough for melody i promised. It has the raw bmp's and also the files combined as a pdf..

enjoy

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ceetee480:
Rory what kind of device are you running melody on? I've read through this whole thread and i know it works, but i have a ppc 6700 running wm6, and it works fine in portate mode album art and all, but the album viewer does not work in landcape mode. Your walkthrough is perfect. Maybe I just have to wait for pocketmelody.:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
ive got a tytn [hermes] and it looks pretty similar to your ppc 6700... i have never had album scrolling in portrait, only landscape, so im not sure if its meant to have it.. it possibly is though, when i switch from album scroller to normal view, theres a 10 second inbetween stage, where it looks like its making the landscape image and displaying it in portrait, so like a 3rd of the screen is cut off.. [this is shown at 2 mins 50 secs into the youtube video] maybe a video could help me solve it better...

and now ive got a video walkthrough too.. but i dont talk in it.. and sorry to you all for the changing hands loads.. and kinda crappy quality and swiping in front of the lens so you cant see properly

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mushipkw:
Hey, I noticed one thing, when in landscape mode, just tap and hold anywhere on screen away from albumarts. N it displays a popup menu with functions like, Rewind, Forward, Play, Loop etc. but those doesn't seem to work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ceetee480:
ok i'm going to try to make a video. Everything works just like in your video except its not working in landscape mode. but i'm thinking it might be how i have my files set up I'm going to work with it a little more and get back to you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nameless[PL]:
Can somebody help me?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
yeah.. i can.. what error do you get? copy and paste it to a word doc on your ppc, then copy that to the pc, and then copy to here, easier than copying the whole thing out..

but after youve done that, try searching for the first line of the error in this thread, you will probably find someone with the same error, and it will have their solution. im fine helping, its just sometimes, you might do it by yourself, and it saves us a bit of time...

and, when do you get this error, what screen is it on, [eg player screen, startup screen, music selection screen, album scroller screen] and when you do what, eg press play...

so your reply might be i get this error "[long error code]" when i press play on the player screen after my song has loaded.

thanks

rory

x
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
this is because its in flash, and those are the default flash functions, its the same on your pc. However, you cant rewind id guess because it makes it on the fly, or because its all in one animation. Things like slithers cube launcher rewind does work, because when you swipe, it loads a seperate animation, so it can just go back, much like when you press back in IE. but as [i think] all the album arts are in one continuous animation, it cant rewind...

cheers, before i made the video, i couldnt scroll past a certain album, and i couldnt work out how to flip them back over.. so i guess its just trying stuff out..

hope ive helped

rorydaredkign

I get it when I want to run it. I can't see player screen, startup screen, music selection screen, etc. so I can't press any buttons.

P.S: Sorry for my bad english :(

File with error is in the attachment. I am running version 0.81
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
hmmm....

youve got all the stuff installed...

so compact framework, python and flash 7...

the one id guess youre missing [if any] is compact framework, because the whole of melody needs it, wheras only components of melody need the other things.

ok.. some other random questions.. is your phone a touchscreen device... and... have you trried uninstalling an reinstalling...

I myself always hard reset when i have problems, and only install vital things then try sort my problem [eg id hard reset, install .net cf and flash player 7 and python then try installing melody and see if it works] but thats me, and i hard reset like every 2 weeks, just to get rid of all my junk...

another problem.. do you have flash player lite installed aswell?

x
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dani01:
Hi,

i have exactly the same Problem like "Nameless[PL]"

I have trried to uninstalling, reinstalling and hard reset but the Problem is the same :(

Maybe its because we have an Windows Mobile 2003 (SE) device :confused:

And flash player lite don´t run on WM2003.

Sorry for my bad english :rolleyes:

Dani
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Just a quick drop in note, flash player lite will NOT WORK with Melody. You must use Flash player 7 ActiveX. :) AND you can't have both installed at the same time. If you do, uninstall both, and re-install FP7.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nameless[PL]:
I have it all installed and versions of this stuff is correct.

Actually 0.8 is the only one which seems to work, well almost anyway. many errors keep coming up. the 'an unexpected error occurred in melody exe' error. just me?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Just to let you know, in case it slipped you, this version of Melody is no longer being developed, for the exact reason you just noticed, too many unexpected errors :).

A C++ version is being developed, that's almost reached the same level of this version minus the album scrolling and weird errors. It's called PocketMelody, you can download and give it a try here:

This is how the desktop WMP will create the folder hierarchy during sync, and how I happen to have all of my music. Hope that helps and look forward to all the new developments in your software!

NOW Melody works fine on my Wizard , see video ,

the important thing is:

install MediaMonkey iTunes and aTunes and make the AlbumArt.jpg with MediaMonkey , and make the directorys for MediaMonkey like

My Music\RIHANNA good girl gone bad\04 - Don t Stop The Music (Club.mp3

AND check every mp3 file for ALL right ID2 and ID3 Tags AND every mp3 file with ONE (in my case) right AlbumArt.jpg - MediaMonkey will integrate it in the mp3

THEN check all mp3 for short strings - not to long filenames ,

in my case I delete also all ASCCI what not in range 0_9,A_Z,a_z (of corse I delete all [ ' ]

then I checket ALL mp3 with iTunes AND aTunes too. (iTunes copied all mp3 to a different place with different foplder and mp3 names )

and after sam nights Melody gogo , (in my case - see video)

Exactly the same result trying to install the old version. Get that error about needing that cab and then doesn't put anything on my device besides the media player control even though it says it was successful.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] steadi:
I've tried the native version and it works but doesn't seem to read subdirectories yet, is that normal? It only looks at the main directories and there don't seem to be any file filters in the browser dialogue, which gets messy. I'm assuming that's all just because it's a test version though.

Also, might I recommend updating your first post with the new files as they come? I have a feeling this thread could become pretty big and it will be very easy to lose the files among all the posts.
