That's one way, but PM already has built in indexing and playlist support, that rips albumart from id3 tags, and sorts via artist, album etc. So it makes working with PF A LOT easier than you might think. You don't need to have a folder hierarchy or anything like that, when PM starts, PF scans the albumart folder, which will be a folder full of jpegs that PM created, and that's it. Functions for doing things like displaying the songs in a specific album etc. have already been coded in PM. Lol, I just need to figure out how to flip the album around :). Or some other cool effect :).

@shandar

It already does, since 0.3 :).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeanFromSoCal:
Thundershadow14,

Great job. Your app looks like its going to be the favorite media player for a bunch of us =). I'm checking this thread almost every 6 hours and everytime I come back and see some new feature planned to be incorporated or an idea to be considered, it just builds my anticipation for the next version.

Keep up the great work as always =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
How times change, i was a massive fan of Melody and even made a guide for how to use it. Then along came PM [i voted for iMelody lol] and it was instantly great. I tested 0.3 and myself and chad could only find one bug which was going stupidly fast pressing forward or back caused an error [it was past midnight for me though]

Then i sold my hermes :( and bought an Athena :) but now no vga support

so no pm for me :( ah well when it does support vga ill be back reading the thread everyday like i used to [its page 65 and i havent read since about page 20]

anyways i hate all you lot with qvga devices ;)

and thanks chad

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shandar:
Haha. That sounds like a life story. It's only been a month since page 20 you know.. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaNa-S:
for pf, it would be better if mouse support was smooth too :) like have the number of albums that are moved over corresponding to the length the mouse was dragged, like the iphone. just a nice little touch that would make it smoother, if you can have time to implement it... oh and landscape support
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Both already done ;).

Update Browser Theme

Ok guys be gentle.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
I really like it a lot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jatt_inder:
woo really nice design.;);)..what is the bottom text player for?? wont we get more space in the middle if we remove it???:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
for the music player
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jatt_inder:
will PM have sumthing else as well apart from the music player???:eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
Well I would like it to play music(all formats), be able stream internet radio and video(like youtube), video(all formats, pictures(all formats), pretty much an all-in one media center. With pictureflow coming up would think we can do it with video too i hope but its up to thundershadow to make it happen. i am just a graphic designer for the pm program right now but i am sure he has it in mind(i hope?);)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bingoig11:
Oh yes ok, it's a very more easier with the way you explained lol :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pi3ch:
thanks for your nice music player especially that it doesn't use .NET!!!

Pocket melody 0.3 does not list all of my music in my music folder. how can I add all of my music into it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shandar:
Dont want to be negative, but can you do something about the top right X? The rest of the broswer is looking better and better all the time, but that close button is awful :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] T-mex:
Very Nice... but small concern

Visually, Great... Functionally, I'm worried that the last item in the list may be too close to the icons for those of us with salamis for fingers... :o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
well i think i need thundershadow in this department b/c maybe he can make it have two looks one like my first theme and second like my latest theme or maybe one which is the latest theme but if you run you finger over the icons it will zoom almost like iphone keyboard and when you see what icon you want you let go and it will open.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
aih1977

I like the new mock up :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
New Player theme

ok i think i like this one. i may change some things but i think this is it.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mushipkw:
Its AWESOME!!! I have even saved the pic to view it again & again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Wow, really nice work bro! Can't wait to finish off PF, so i can integrate here, and make 0.4 - 0.5 the BEST YET!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aragorn21:
CoverFlo

Hey Chad, Got your PictureFlow

IT is Awesome !!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] whysolate:
I think its better to make the bottom bar thicker..tapping on the edge is difficult due to elevation on the sides of the screen...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] s173nc3r:
Yeah, i think so
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Win_XP:
What about VGA support? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jatt_inder:
woo this looks sick...well done
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
i will check the size on pointui buttom bar b/c i think that would be good size to use. also i will be doing one that is not in perspective or you do you guys like it like that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wyzepro:
Awsome program

nothing to complain about here...actually happy to be able to test it early.....cant wait for implements such as a2dp support and video.....keep up the good work.....I'd love to make a donation once the project is complete....good works deserve reward.......
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lannyb77:
how to make it work

I have a ppc 6800 for alltel. I'm New to smartphones, but i tried to load it

and it said that my parameters were wrong and for me to quit and try again

buit would never work.

What should I do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] benito06:
Why not use the display part of album art as controls ?

Or with the PointUI style.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
i suppose vga support would come when were at the stable 1.0 version, but i wouldnt count it for now;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
i will keep that in mind but i dont want to copy PointUI. Also that the perspective buttons or going to be on the coverflow part of the theme. i am going to do a flat version like what you have but it is i good idea b/c i did have in mind PointUI look.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
i shouldnt try to go the pointui style, then we would have iphone pointui mix-ish:p

yu got me?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
Update PLAYER Theme

OK this is it like or not.:)

start up screen is not finish i just was a real quick photoshop i am going to make the background and text nicer.

Also the new icon for pmflow.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
bro, yu delivered som quality stuff dude,

me suppose you already played with pictureflow in Pm?

cheerz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] justcruising:
oo

Hi pictureflow is not working on wm5 artemis.. any idea?

it says that one of the components are missing

it means that pm will also not work?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
great pics...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
u r da man .....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
I did a capture of the screen with pictureflow and then photoshop the rest. so thundershadow did not add it yet. he is waiting on me for the themes i will try to give it to him soon as i am done.;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
New Splash Screen

Ok here is the new splash screen for PMFlow (Its up to thundershadow14 to name it). I will change it if he wants me too. the only thing i need is for him to approve the design.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
i like it, but i would do the blue text smoother

cheerzz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Shafty:
And spelt right ;o)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mbial:
I really liked the icon/graphics for pictureflow...seems like this one needs a little color to it. Just too stark. Regardless, a great effort and we all anticipate the next major release of this project! Thanks for your great work!

MJB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Shafty:
Seconded. Keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
Ok How Bout This

thanks for catching my spelling mistake.:o

Here is some effects and color.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] namwollem:
Good work ppl!

Amazing! I cannot wait to see the final product - can't say enough we all appreciate the work you guys are doing!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
nice one! only the PMFLOW title needs some customizeing in my opinion,

how i honestly dont know:p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
This is looking better and better, I can't wait for (I hope) square screen compatibility!!!!

P.S. namwollem.....love the avatar!!!!

I have read the thread from the first page

good day sir is there a way to have it installed?

this is what I had done out all the files to the storage card>>> from there i launch the program

what i ask is; wheter there is an alternative way not to go to file explorer>> storage card>> PM folder>> application launch? ( I know .lnk can solve this but dont know how to do it:)

anyway I can say is that it is really looking good thanks very much
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ronjoor:
Hi All,

I just noticed that when playing a file that is not tagged with a title, the song title at the top of the screen shows the title of the last track played that did have a tag.

Or if it is the first track to be played, the screen is blank.

Perhaps the file name could be displayed where no tag is present.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] character:
have tried the version .3 and I can say that this is a real good app you have done... love the software compared to audio manager this is a good app less of memory because it only consumes when you use it :):):)

hopefully the volume is more visible thanks again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wyzepro:
when r we going to be able to try out the new pmflow?...or did i miss the link...I have .3
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
look at the dev forum for pictureflow, now its still a pictureviewer, but thats only because chad wants to test it and perfectionize it before implenting it in PM.

if you had read a few posts here, you would have known the answer
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wyzepro:
I'm at work and have to sneak in a few posts at a time....no way to scan the whole forum like i'd like to....thank u for answering that for me...appreciate it

opera mini

hi

i know its not the right place to write to, but its a very popular thread.

So:

many of you have troubles how to run opera mini in fullscreen, if you dont have numeric buttons, like htc artemis.

To do this, you have to map, input panel to one of your hardware buttons, and when in opera mini, press that hardware buton, and type in **

then it will go to fullscreen

enjoy

sorry for my english :D:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyrome6:
Sorry guys if this was already answered I read & read & could not find my answer. There are 2 files named default and direc. Where do these go? Does this have something to do with me not getting the artwork? I installed on storage card in the dir where my music is located otherwise works great.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Bro, although you did mention you know "it's not the right place to write to", it would've really helped if you just created a new thread. A lot of people are finding it very difficult to find the information they need on this thread as it is, cuz there are so many pages, and PM's beta testers and followers are finding themselves repeating a lot of information that's been stated already (thanks for sticking with it guys).

But really, I'm not saying your information isn't valuable or useful in anyway, but it's just not right to use designated space for something that is seemingly completely irrelevant. I hope you understand, and don't take what I'm saying the wrong way :).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyrome6:
Post 707 is asking a question similiar to mine and got no answer. Hey guys are we trying this out or not. What's the point of asking questions if we aren't gonna respond (to logical questions)!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Question had been asked before and answered, and I'm aware of this bug. Remember we're not yet at version 1.0, so bugs like that are to be expected :).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
for the love of God ... this is only sw is still under development ... so dont expect it as a finished product ... Pls do read the 1st page FAQ ... and patient ur questions will be answered ... if not than for sure the developer is aware of this ...

peace
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyrome6:
I do understand that this application is under development I was simply woundering if others was experiencing simular results. Thank you for your response.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
its just too damn popular:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] character:
had find a way to map it>>> use config tools:) sorry for my stupidity:):):)

this is a very good app cant complain about anything works flowlessly on my hermes hopefully there are advancement

recently I found out that I can change the pictures will contribute pictures later
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] s173nc3r:
Thundershadow14: maybe you should implement last.fm in future too.

Hey Everyone, I think I finally got my donations up and running so you can show your support! :D:

Please Click On the Link in my signature, on the first page, or RIGHT HERE. I'm not using my paypal account, so please follow the VERY simple instructions on my page. Thanks already!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ronjoor:
thundershadow14,

No matter how simple you make it, there is always some bozo who has to ask a question! In this case, ME!

Is that USD, Euros, GBP, Malaysian Ringgits, etc.?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Lol, questions make it easier for everyone in the future ;). Always feel free.

It's USD.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
Chad... please don't jump me for asking... just curious :)

Any idea of a ballpark area of the next release? I know you don't like to say anything b/c other people get all up in arms if it doesn't happen when you say, so no pressure, I'm just curious. I'm so excited to show this app off to my friends who think the iphone is the end-all be-all of phones and that everything else is dogsh*t.

To everyone else, if you tend to respond to this post with anything in the neighborhood of "dude, leave chad alone," or "bro, be patient" or "Chad, don't listen to this impatient jerk, take as long as you need" or "I'm a total douchebag who needs to come on here and post and stick up for Chad because anyone really cares"... then save your breath, because you are an idiot.

Chad can take 2 years if he needs it as far as I'm concerned, but that doesn't mean I'm not curious of the progress.

Cheers :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
DUDE LEAVE CHAD ALONE!!!:D;)

It does not hurt to ask but chad does give us updates and he has not updated us for a while now. So I think it is ok to ask for an update on whats going on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
you got gutts bro

and yeah leave him alone, he made the faq and is one of the main posters here, hes on fifth place of the rankings of posts

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
Oh, speaking of the FAQ (thanks for reminding me tomazez!)...

Chad, I had written a few more FAQ to be added to first post back in post #504 (and one more in post #520) to address other questions that had come up. You may have missed them, because they never got posted...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Sorry, I must have missed it. But I've been trying to get a PM site up for some time now, that will include a FAQ page, with the FULL FAQ. Someone had promised a design, but I never got his mail with the full thing. I really want a site, since I'd create a subscription for updates etc. Since everytime I create a new thread things get quite messy, and there are WAY too many pages.

Update:

As I mentioned in the PictureFlow thread (sorry for not posting up here) I just got my new laptop, and I'm almost done the process of configuring everything (for uni) and making sure everything works well. In addition to this, currently PocketMelody is hinged upon the development of PictureFlow. So it's completion is vital towards the life of PocketMelody. I begin work on PictureFlow tomorrow.

Remember, PM will be getting a remake using the QT platform, so things will change pretty dratically on this side of the page, as soon as I get PF working niceley :).

In the meantime, feel free to show your support by donating to both, or either one of my projects! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
hey chad, i suppose there will be a beta first?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
most definitely :).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agentmikeyd:
Super nice work Chad! i am testing it on my Sprint touch <Vogue> , not sure if this is considered a bug but when i soft reset pm starts automatically...also, trying different ideas from this thread to get it to find the music in storage card/my music, but i still have no luck.

thanks for any guidance.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Hey guys,

I'm finishing off PictureFlow here, and I can tell you really amazing things are about to happen for PocketMelody. I'm learning a lot in the finishing off of PF right now, cuz a lot of the techniques I'm using to put the finishing touches on PF 0.7 will be used in the actually QT re-construction of PocketMelody.

It's great to see you guys keeping the interest, and the activity of this thread bouncing, since I was worried it might have been buried in the doldrums while I was working on PF hehe. Anyway, I'm EXTREMELY excited about the future of PocketMelody, and you guys are the ones that make it possible.

Your developer,

Thundy.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
When we hv PF0.7 then we will hv PM ... cool 2 things to play with :D ... looking fwd 4 both

You make it possible, we (try) to keep you motivated. Cant wait for a the release, This is looking to dethrone pocket player for sure.

Well worth the wait.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
Cant wait for the next release. And, Chad, We all understand you cant work on two time intensive projects at the same time because of uni, so its kool.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
PF 0.7

I just released the last version of PictureFlow until PocketMelody is stable! It's now 2:15am and I'm about to goto sleep. But like I said over on the PF thread, and HECK you guys know more than anyone else, what I begin working on tomorrow.

I'm anticipating fireworks, and I think I've adequately wrapped myself around QT to get things up and running with PocketMelody. Gonna go get some rest, so I can hit PM tomorrow. Lol, strange enough, I've missed the 2000+ lines of code, and can't wait to dive back into it.

Make sure you check out PF 0.7, you might as well, since it's the EXACT code that will be given to PocketMelody:
