This happens after I install a TV client for free mobile TV with starhub s'pore..

After that, groovefish can't work. I've uninstall the TV client since.

Thanks!

How difficult would it be to make this app compatible with Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen)?

I would donate for that :-)

Scilor,

Did you see bug I posted about earlier?

If you search Artist/Title search results are correct, but when you select a Track to play it plays a different song ?

Hello,

I have an Omnia with WM 6.1 and I can´t select any Song.

I´ve get always this error:

Groovfish.exe

UriFormatException

Invalid URI: The Hostname could not be parsed

Sometimes Grooveship crashes while searching Artists and I have to rebbot my Phone.

Greetings from Germany.

P.S. Your grooveshark downloader works like a champ! :)

No, not at all: From 50 songs I recieved last night are 49 wrong, only one song matches. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatmonk:
Barguast, Scilor,

Any chance of an update on where you guys are currently at with new app and fix for current version patch respectively?

No pressure intended, of course, I know this is spare time stuff for you guys. It would just be nice (and hopefully encouraging) to know where you guys are at with the dev work at the moment.

Personally I'd really like to show off my new shiny phone (HD2 - so now I can help with testing on a QVGA XDA Orbit, VGA Touch Pro and WVGA HD2) and it just doesn't show off as well without GrooveFish! ;-)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
hi guys.

just wanted to query, this app seems pretty unusable now as none of the songs are what they say they are.

this is with scilors v4 fix.

will keep popping back and checking to see any progress, it is a shame coz this was one of them apps that made you totally love your phone.

good luck braguast adn scilor, i hope you can get the party started soon.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Duruk:
help please,

Hi everybody,

a great piece of app you have here, would be even better if i could make it work :)

i've read nearly the whole thread, although there were people with problems like mine, i could not manage to get it work, maybe because i'm a win mobile newbie.. here's what i've done and the problem..

I have a HTC elf touch, installed groovefish 0.3.2 (first at storage card then into the main memory, does this matter?), it asked for net compact framework, downloaded and installed 3.5 into storage card (should i reinstall it into main memory?)..

applied the fix given at post 43 (if i remember correctly).. then deleted the settings.xml file in the folder of the program.. alas, the problem remains:

can't find any song after the search (can't say if it actually makes the search).. search box turns gray and can't delete/rewritte anything new.. exit button does not work.. i can only exit the program via the windows start button.. after the exit grooveshark does not appear on the task manager, but can't change any of its files due to share violation.. and the program does not restart unless i softreset the phone..

any help would be greatly appriciated,

thanks in advance,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Duruk:
well this is wierd..

first, something inside me told me to give one more try to the groovefish... although i did not make anything different, and unlike the tens of times i've tried, now my search results with songs and i can actually play them :) (and its also so fast, i couldn't imagine)...

anyway there still seems something wrong since, well it plays different songs than those i choose (i mean i'm quite sure soundgarden should not play 60's songs in french, right?:confused:) and it seems the songs are played randomly and not from the songs resulted in the search list.. anyone experienced something like this, or have any comment?

also one other thing (though not as important as the above problem) the side scroll button does not work, so i get to choose only from 4 or 5 songs (and as said completely different songs come up when i choose one of them :))

so, thank you in advance for any help,

edit: oh my.. seems like last couple of pages people are reporting the same issues i did here.. sorry for that.. will wait patiently and quitely for the fix :) good luck..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sammy88:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dibbson:
Ok, here is my review of Groovefish. I am on Sprint, RhodiumW, running WM 6.5 21890.

Without the fix cab installed. I tried to run just the base groovefish app. The app loaded but after i pressed the search button the app became unresponsive, I was able to exit the app, but I ended up having to soft reset my phone as it became severely sluggish even though the app wasn't running.

With the latest v4 fix installed. Search now provides results, but the songs are not the correct songs. I tested several times but no songs I clicked on were the correct songs.

On both versions though, the hardware keyboard worked correctly with the app. I really enjoy the app, just need to get the correct songs playing :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
everyone is aware of this problem, it is the same for most of us. read the last few pages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s_l_priestley:
The problem is with the results returned from the Grooveshark service.php webservice the songID is not correct. I've modified the GrooveShark sourcecode to use the more.php - which brings back a detailed results with the correct SongID. The mod generates a new GroovesharkApiCompact.dll which is still compatible with the Grooveshark UI.

I want to improve the API to allow the user to Login and get their playlist - there doesnt seem to be any documentation anywhere and Fiddler the application I use to monitor the HTTP traffic is not allowing me to login - anyone with any pointers would be appreciated! Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:

Hi all.

After a good few months of inactivity, I've finally conceded that I simply don't currently have the time or enthusiasm to continue developing Groovefish. The main reason being my borderline hatred for developing on Windows Mobile, and the upcoming introduction of Windows Phone 7. All being well, I may well write a similar application on that platform once it arrives.

HOWEVER... I've asked scilor if he'd like to continue the project, and he has accepted. I'd love to see a more feature-fix version of Groovefish and look forward to seeing what he comes up with. :)

Many thanks to all fans of the app, particularly those of you who donated. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Thanks for the great app!!!!!! Hope to see you back developing something soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I am proud that I can continue developing this awesome application :) I have already some nice ideas for it :)

Barguast gives me a nice start for continuing! (Thank you for your trust!)

I will announce a new version here in this thread when it is available.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dibbson:
Thank u, i have read the last few pages. i actually pm'ed scilor about helping with development, but he told me to just post my issues/review. so i did....... at least i gave specifics as to the device, sys version, etc.... as well. which as a developer myself and knowing how apps can be buggy between different sys builds and hardware types for windows mobile, i would think scilor could benefit from all the reviews and stuff. not tryin to b a jerk or make useless posts, just trying to help scilor continue with such a great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluenote73:
Sorry to see you go barguast, good on you for passing the reins instead of just letting the project die.

Scilor: I think it might be time to start a new thread so info & updates can be posted in the first post and be updated in a timely manner?

Voting begins in about 30 days for the Windows Mobile Division. If you want to see the categories, click the link in my sig below. Thanks for great work -- and for coming back to state explicitly you need to move on "officially".

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] niknik76:
Scilor, it's great that you're gonna continue development of this app.. If you eventually would integrate the RADIO function, it would be the SH*T! This would really be the coolest thing to be able to use when you are out and about /driving in your car..... All best

EDIT:

I mean I don't know how the general feeling is but for me the RADIO function would the COOLEST thing to have. If I should choose I would rather have that than smooth UI, playlists etc... Scilor, just being curious as I know nothing about programming - is it a diffucult thing to implement?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I will try to do my best to implement everything that is possible.

First of all I will fix the old version to make it work again. (When I got the source :D )

After that I want to completely recode the application, with the user interface ^^...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
The Groovefish source code is now with scilor, so I guess this thread is now redundant... :(

Just to re-iterate what I said earlier, depending on the limitations Microsoft impose with Windows Phone 7, I will likely revive Groovefish on that platform as a further learning exercise. Unfortunately, the main lesson I learnt with Groovefish is that WM6 development is a pain. :p

Thanks again.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@diablade

Groovefish works entirely over HTTP so unless you have anything installed which prevents non-browsers from using port 80, it shouldn't be a problem. Presumably your browser is connecting and downloading pages properly?

@roccotrisoliere

I don't see why it would have changed overnight. I'll have to look into this further when I get time if changing it again doesn't fix the problem. Note that pressing the power button will still disable the audio, but the screen shouldn't turn off when the application is running and left idle.

@kniffo80

I just tried it, and it works fine for me and I'm in an office with poor signal! Do the other duplicates on the list work? ... ... ah, I love this song. :p

@Dtrieb - Eventually, I want to be able to hide the player which might help you. That said, I'm not sure if the rest of the interface will handle such a low resolution properly. Ideally, it should be used on a VGA or higher (WVGA works very well).

One "small" bug, havent tested the older versions, but they seemed to work fine on smaller screens, on my nike (QVGA) this is what I see:

But everything works. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Ha! It's because the application was built with VGA in mind. For some reason when a sub-VGA device is use, everything doubles in size. I'll try and start a QVGA branch once the project gains more momentum.

It's good to know it all still works, though. ;)
