I'll admit I'm not very clued up on networking, so I didn't understand any of your first sentence. :p

But you're right - if it was working pre-version 0.3.2, there shouldn't be anything stopping it from working now unless I made a mistake. Again, I'll have to check my code when I get home.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I've (temporarily) attached Groovefish v0.3.1 to the second post of this topic. Could everyone who is having a problem with the latest version (i.e. v0.3.2) please try using that and confirm whether or not the problem goes away.

Resolving the BASS_ERROR_MEM Issue

I'm a noob so please forgive me if this has been answered already. Is there a way to resolve the BASS_ERROR_MEM problem without having to shut down the app? I'm running Groovefish on a TP (Sprint) with the stock 6.1 ROM.

Thanks and this is an awesome app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] o0adam0o:
Awesome program... i have been following this project and am amazed. Everything is working great so far with no bugs or errors.

I have a quick question... my app doesnt look like any of the screenshots... i downloaded the .cab on the first page.... is this because an older version was just put up like stated above? (i downloaded it yesterday)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
The download link to the latest version is in Post 2 - the one in red text. Ignore the attachments, they are old versions.

@EClecticTastes - Out of interest, can you tell me how much free memory you have on your device? The debug log on the latest version will also tell you how big the stream is (in MB).

The error indicates that there wasn't enough memory to start the song. A future release will allow for using the storage card rather than device memory for storing the stream to solve this problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EClecticTastes:
MEM Error

I have 113.88 MB of free program memory and 185.29 MB of free storage memory (not sure which one you need so I listed both, remember I'm a noob). Any tips on how to deal with this issue would really be appreciated. I love the app, but I can only play maybe 3 songs max before having to shutdown the app and restart. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
Update, I have installed 0.3.1 (thanks for reposting it) on top of 0.3.2 and all worked fine, albeit with the limitation of that version.

I also checked the log and no errors.

I then installed 0.3.2 and sure enough the error is back. However this time I installed the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab package so that I can see the proper messages.

Here is the log:

Search error: the operation has timed-out

Search error: the operation has timed-out

Search error: the operation has timed-out

Search error: the operation has timed-out

Search error: the operation has timed-out

Search error: the operation has timed-out

getting communication token

searching for 'rem' (Songs)

Bass_Init: BASS_OK

At this point the application becomes unresponsive and the only way to kill it completely is to reboot the phone.

Again, using wifi such errors do not occur

Hope this helps you in your debugging Barguast
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] o0adam0o:
So since this uses device memory... when and how is it deleted once its done? Is it like a temp file or soemthing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arlindemini:
I'm just shooting in the dark here, but can you get to the regular grooveshark site from your phones web browser? I know when I was in UK I couldn't access US radio websites for streaming tunes due to local laws, maybe something similar? Just guessing...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:
Nice, VERY nice to hear! :) And regarding the use of SD card maybe my problem when songs is not playing... So i'll be waiting for that then :)

Have tried a thing now: When waiting for the whole song to download and THEN select a new song is making it for me, all songs are now playing.

When interrupting a download of a song i get the can't play song message.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diablade:
yep you maybe right ! I'm on SFR network (vodafone FR) and is quite limited somewhere.

like VOIP is forbidden ! mail (pop3, imap ...) without more money you can't!

only http and https is unlimited other protocol are restricted !

only in france something like that can appening :mad::mad: !

but for my opera browser I don't have problem to surf only its not compatible flash but when I share my connection to USB on PC there is no problem to play music grooveshark on firefox !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
another thank you for QVGA!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ferdimage:
BEST Audio Streaming app! iphone dont have anything like this do they?

I think Apple want em to buy the music from apple store correct?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MRFERRARI23:
YOOO this app is the sh*t hands down!!! GREAT work, I'm using it right now as I type on my Htc Tilt 2 and its working amazingly!!! Keep it up forealz!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diablade:
Like I said some post before

My network is somewhere restricted !

and I think that your application need to connect and stream the music by only 80 , 8080 or 443 PORTS ! (http or https)

because another ports a restricted and filtered on SFR network

maybe this explain the forbidden message (403 error) !

thanks a lot if you can look at this :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
All web requests are either https (for searching), or http (for streaming). It seems some people are having problems with either none of these, just searching, or both. As I understand it, http goes over port 80, and https goes over port 443.

I had a look at my code, but see nothing amiss. In fact, most of it was a copy and paste job of v0.3.1. I'll keep looking though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
I have full mail ports opennent on my connection 'sl2sfr'.

But diablade, if you can connect to grooveshark when you share your phone connection with your PC, I don't think it is a vodafone/SFR to grooveshark permission related issue.

By the way, I've got the same result with versions 0.3.1 and 0.3.2: working over Wifi but not over data connection.

Barguast, perhaps your application cannot support connections through a proxy.

Have you tried to configure a proxy on your connection to see if it works?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romualdrichard:
No way.....

I have it also, VOIP is working, pop3, imap, even vnc... tried with sl2sfr...

Well, that's strange since, groovefish received a 403 error from a server but as I said, when I connect the PC to the phone and use it to share the connexion, I can use grooveshark and listen music...

And groovefish can do the search but not streaming...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diablade:
Yes I've tried with sl2sfr ! (option "mail sfr" "Iphone" for who knows)

and still same problem ! really strange !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likeminas:
Works like a charm!

Thanks for the App, it works nicely (on a touch pro, Verizon network).

I should say that I do get an error when logging out but I can live with that.

a few features I'd like to see;

*Playlist

*Search by; artists, album or song

*Settings menu

the app has a lot of potential, in any case I'll be supporting develp. by donating.

thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@likeminas - What version are you using? Where did you download it from, and when? The crash on exit should be fixed. :O
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joweedeame:
I will also donate on the next pay day, thanks for QVGA support... Guys this app is very promising... Let us all help the developer... If all of us will donate even small amounts will sum up big...

If the app can do all the web capabilities (playlist,saving playlist,) that is aweversome!!!

Nice WORK!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likeminas:
@Barguast I downloaded it from the first page of this thread. And I'm getting an error message when exiting. I've noticed that when you play more than 6 songs in a row the 7th will not start. It gets stuck at 00:00
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
From the link, or the attachments? The attachments are older versions. The second post of this thread has a big red link to the latest version. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likeminas:
Duh. I don't know how I missed those big fonts, but I did.

Anyway, it works beautifully now. Great app.

Looking foward to added features!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] martyglen:
groovefish

out of curiosity

reading some of the posts on the problems that some cant stream when on

3g etc could it possibly be permissions from the provider ( ie some sites restricted )

I'm on orange and had the restrictions lifted when i got the phone as its default with orange could other networks be the same..

brill app best one developed so far looking forword to the updates :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
In my case your theory does not stand up, I can stream on 3G/HSDPA with version 0.3.1 but not with 0.3.2

Also another bug is that after playing 4-5 songs the program fails to play anymore songs.

I believe Barguast will have a fix in the next version allowing caching on the storage card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pyrofool:
Groveshark

First of all thanks for the app, work very well on qvga. Second and this is just a thought but maybe a Titanium plugin to go along with it. Looking forward to feature releases!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PrinceOD:
This is fantastic, thanks for putting it together! I'm using an HTC Vogue and the QVGA version works quite well, but there are a lot of songs which fail to play.

I have 154.56 MB free on my main Storage

and 69.2 MB free Program memory with the app running

Seems like I can only play streams under ~4 megs

Hope this helps squash any bugs you might be hunting for.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Is anyone else having any other issues with the app, apart from those of you who are getting the Forbidden 403 errors?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WarriorRocker:
Hi,

I am having an issue that just started after about 30 minutes of using this app. Everything was going smoothly and after about 15 or so songs played the app unexepctedly quits. Now every time I try to start the app it gives the same two error screens. This is even after a reinstall of the program.

Using Verizon TP2 with MS Net frameword 3.7.

Downloaded 3.2 cab and saved to memory card.

Uninstalled 3.1.

Installed 3.2.

Starts and runs nice.

Waaaayyyyy more stable than 3.1. No more -00:01 errors... but occasionally a "song failed to start" error message. Havven't checked the log for details, but I'll post them here when I get the chance (posting mobile right now).

I also noticed a drastic reduction in the nuber of songs displayed during a query. For instance, searching "London Calling" using 3.1 I'd get a return for EVERY SONG on the Clash album London Calling as well as covers. Now I get a couple Pouges and Chili Peppers covers and a couple versions by the Clash. Thats it. Somebody tighten up somewhere? Or somthing in the query programming looking for more reliable/stable results? Any insight availible?

Still loving it and can't wait to see how things develope.

Failed to start song

I am not sure how to duplicate this error. However, it pops ups from time to time. The DeBug Log says "Failed to start song

BASS_StreamCreateFileUser: BASS_ERROR_MEM

BASS_StreamClose

Playing

Stream Length: 7.59MB"

There's more but I'm typing it from my phone display.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@ WarriorRocker - It looks as though your settings file corrupted when it crashed the first time. Try going to \Program Files\Groovefish and deleting the Settings.xml. :)

@ msh441 - The Grooveshark catalogue seems have reduced as of late. Not sure what might be causing it. Searching for 'London Calling' on Grooveshark comes up with 7 songs.

@ rde34 - That happens when the audio component complains about their not being enough memory to store the file in memory. I've known it happen for a 10MB stream with over 50MB free. I'm currently working on my own caching mechanism which should solve the problem for most cases.

FYI - 'Failed to start song' is just the new '00:-01' - the error checking on 0.3.2 was altered slightly. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tlefeuvre:
SFR Network Stream download problem (User Agent Related ?)

Hi All,

Same problem for me. Don't think this is a port related problem but rather a HTTP User Agent problem. SFR is filtering http queries using the user agent (to avoid people using their illimited data plan to surf on computer).

Can the problem come from here ?

How are the http queries submitted ?

Thanks for your answers.

Thomas
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WarriorRocker:
Thanks Barguast, unbelievably I actually ended up doing what you said before I read your response. Looked through the registry for anything that might have been causing this, then looked in the groovefish directory and deleted the 0 byte settings.xml file.

Though I am not entirely surprised, but an uninstall of the program should have removed its supporting files, including the settings.xml? Not sure how common this problem is but it may be a good idea to have an error trap on the reading of settings.xml to on error create a new settings.xml file.

I am a developer as well so if there is anything I could to do help, this is a great app and I would like to see it go farther. :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
Barguast, any indication when the new version will be released?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I'm working on it now. It's going to be a big step forward so it might take a while! I've got a busy weekend too, so I'd say it is more than a week away I'm afraid. I'll try to make sure it's worth it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WarriorRocker:
Hi,

I have more information on causing the error I was having before. Evidently if the app is running (doesn't have to be playing a song either) and you connect an a/v out cable to the device. In my case it is a HTC Touch Pro, running wm 6.5.

When the cable is plugged in it launches a window that just says "enable tv out" this app or 'mode' just orients the phone landscape style even if the keyboard is shut and displays output. I am really only using this cable for audio, however for the setup I am using I needed a way to power the phone while getting audio. For this model phone audio/usb/video are all provided through the extusb connector.

Anyway, it is launching this app that somehow causes groovefish to exit unexpectedly and thus causes the corruption in settings.xml. As per your suggestion deleting the settings.xml and launching groovefish again solves this issue. Also connecting the extusb cable first and then launching groovefish would probably solve this issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lonnieuptegrow:
I'm using an HTC Imagio and I was running into the Failed to load song...when running 3.2...so I uninstalled that and went to 3.1, and I think I have the same problem...I checked the log and it just stays on starting song. Think I'm going to go back to the 3.2 version...any future plans to have WVGA support...all I can see is the play button and the progress bar...I fell like there are some buttons that I am missing...like start,stop,..LOL! Can anyone help me out on what I'm experiencing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dindin223:
Outstanding app, but it needs Unicode search support! (I hope it's not too hard to add it in :)

So far only English songs can be played as it's missing a big portion of music in other languages available on grooveshark.

Anyways can't wait for the next version, keep up the good work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] niknik76:
Regarding the search function on Grooveshark, this email conversation I had with one of their support people might be interesting:

My Letter:

Hi there! How can it be that when I do a search for "Red House Painters" nothing comes up? Also searching "Red House" gives nothing. But when I search "Painters" it suddenly shows alot of their albums.... Maybe you could write a short introduction to how you search the most efficient way somewhere? As it is now it's a little hard to get the logic :-) Best, and thanks for a great service /N

Answer:

Hi N, I would definitely make some helpful tips on how to search--except that's not the way it's supposed to work! We've been having some crazy issues with search recently and we're trying to fix them so that you won't have to know any "secret tips" to find what you want to listen to. Keep checking back, and we should have this sorted out soon. And if you run into any other weird search stuff, let me know! Thanks,Ben Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Same here.. Sometimes doesn't start (seems to just time out), sometimes "failed to start", sometimes fails to get a key.. And only a play button.

But overall nice. If it played a bit more reliably, it'd be totally awesome. Grooveshark is pretty cool stuff.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] defeat2:
This was nice!

If you could do play lists and that groovefish changed song when the song is ended it would be perfect!.

One thing! When i connect my diamond do a pc (to charge it) the program stops working, and when i try to start it again it just says " The file 'Groovefish' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." But as fast i disconnect it from the pc it works again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
So Groovefish is installed on your SD card and you're sharing your SD card with the PC, right? :)

Radio feature

Hi,

For me, the biggest feature request is the Radio/AutoTune feature. It auto-queues a new song when you have no more in your own playlist. It tries to guess what you like from what you have recently played and it does so pretty well.

David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@jrbest - Looks like another case of a dodgy .NET installation. I'd try installing 3.5 again.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply in a while, and don't have a lot of time to read over what has been posted. I'm still working on Groovefish, but I've not found much time to do so lately. I'll post updates as they come.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrYde:
Tested on my Kaiser (WM6.5, 23053), it works perfectly excepted for BASS_ERROR_MEM when the file is big (especially for classic music), otherwise I've seen only one crash so far (for no apparent reason).

Could you allow list selection with the keypad ? It's hard to scroll while being in landscape (320x240) because I only see 2 lines at a time, and I have a scroll wheel that would be very handy in this case :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gamerr120:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
It looks like yet another dodgy .NET installation. Try installing 3.5 again.

By the way, a new version of Grooveshark has just launched. Very pretty. Unfortunately they also seem to have changed the protocol so Groovefish isn't working anymore away! I'll try and get this rectified ASAP.

EDIT: Actually, can anyone else verify that Groovefish isn't working anymore? The new service launched on Tuesday, but Groovefish only stopped working for me today. The tell-tale sign is that you'll get 'InvalidTokenException' in the debug log.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kniffo80:
*thumbs up* waiting for the new version ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
All of the code has been completely rewritten for the new release anyway! Some of it for the fifth time already! :p

The only real issue at the moment is the audio player part, which relies on the BASS library. They sent me a fix today though, so hopefully I can get that finished off and start merging all of the new stuff together and get the first proper version released.

The next version might not have playlist support - it'll be a more stable, prettier, and more user-friendly version of v0.2a. However, development of new features like this should accelerate once I get the first 'real' version out. :)

spb radio, coreplayer and pocket player all have a screen off option....I don't know the "mechanics" of it...not having that option might be a deal killer for me....I really like the work you've done so far.....thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Yes, they all have a "blank screen" option (like Nitrogen also), but this must be a different method of switching off the screen. For example, switching my screen off manually in CorePlayer, S2P, Nitrogen, kills the audio, but pressing their individual "blank screen" options works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] intx:
On my diamond, pressing the power button on S2P/Nitrogren doesn't cut it off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
bad azz man , just laoded it up and its working but after 3 songs crashed :confused: but for a alpha this ROX
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Must be an OEM thing then. Sliding the (screen off) switch on my P565 kills audio on everything apart from WMP. Pressing the power button kills all connections (Bluetooth, Wifi, etc.) and also kills the audio.

Same happened with my old HTC S710 when it was locked

why not colaborate with nilezon?

and make an AWESOME app together?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] muyoso:
I was wondering the same thing. I have both and I personally like the look of the other one and the functionality and name of this one. Of course Its completely up to the developer and i don't want to tell them what to do at all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Nilezon has given up his Grooveshark duties. So this one is going to be the only one from now on I think.

Personally I also like the look of nilezon's, but we have been assured that a major GUI update is coming, so fingers crossed! :D
