tested on my touch pro...

first result is Distant Worlds by The Black Mages.

only two results returned, the other is Opening - Bombing Mission also by The Black Mages

Result: plays no problem. song 07:31 in length.

Now for another odd search result.

If I search for Ennio Morricone I get about 5 results which do not include Chi Mai (one of his most famous tracks).

However if I search for Chi Mai itself I get matches for Chi Mai by Ennio Morricone!

Seems a bit strange to me!

On a possitive note, the more I play the more stable 0.3.1 seems though.

Keep up the good work and hope this feedback helps.

WMExperts just featured it : http://www.wmexperts.com/groovefish-stream-grooveshark-your-windows-phone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Awesome. :)

It's nice to see the app getting a positive reception. I've been very short on free time this week so unfortunately I won't be able to get a new release out for another week or so. And when I do, it will just be another bug-fix release (with a few QVGA enhancements, but I doubt it'll be fully QVGA-compliant I'm afraid).

@fatmonk. Thanks. For some reason the test song I mentioned isn't there anymore. Perhaps it got taken down. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dezoris:
I get the -.01 issue as well.

If I restart the device start the app, and try the same song again it works fine.

I realize it's a known issue, just posting.

Great idea though, keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
Some more facts to ponder on.

Today I tried groovefish from a location where only a 2G connection was possible.

None of the songs gave me the dreaded -0:01 error

Even the ones that always failed previoulsy.

And the program never crashed.

It worked beautifully but after 2 hours the battery was nearly flat :)

Id love this on the omnia if you can change the screen size to fit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msh441:
I forwarded the info to Malatesta day before yesterday. I'm really interested to see how this developes.

I'm using a Verizon TP2 with microsoft CF 3.7.

I'm getting the 00:-01 error on about 1/2-1/3 of the songs I select to play.

I wish I could cut and past the error log to give you a better idea of whats going on. I'll type as much as I can stand here:

Requesting stream...

Requesting stream key...

BASS_StreamFree:BASS_ERROR_HANDLE

BASS:ChannelStop:BASS_ERROR_HANDLE

BASS:ChannelPlay:BASS_ERROR_HANDLE

BASS_StreamCreateFileUser:BASS_ERROR_MEM

BASS_StreamClose

Starting...

Requesting Stream...

Requesting stream key...

Searching...

BASS_Init:BASS_OK

Now I did play a stream before this,error message, pause the playback, search for another song and select "play"...then I get the 00:-01 error on the time stamp below near the pause/play button. If I go back to a previously played song (without initiating a new search), I seem to continue to get the 00:-01 error again. Search for and pick a new song. All plays well until I come across another that generates the 00:-01 error.

Darkness and Starlight by the Black Keys is showing up for me. Haven't been able to sucessfully play that specific song to date.

Looking forward to seeing what future development holds. Hope some of this helps somehow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aash05:
for some reason my screen shot looks totally different from the screenshots posted on the 1st page....i'm using a treo 800w
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aash05:
nevermind guys
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
I believe that the treo800w is a square screen, which is not a supported resolution @ the moment. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brent372:
Any hope for a WinMo Standard client?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Visionikz03:
ok i think i narrowed it down... regardless of the connection type, if u do a search for the first time and play each consecutive song without pausing or searching for a new song in between it plays perfectly. its when u pause a song even if the file has already completely streamed to ur phone or search for and attempt to play a different song while another is playing that it shows the memory error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sid0101:
Wait, are you saying that you won't ever get it to be fully QVGA compliant or just for your next release it won't be fully QVGA compliant?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
No, that's not what I meant. I've already made the screen results and song information QVGA-friendly, it's just the album art (which I still need to add!) and the play / pause button which aren't. And the playback slder at the bottom, to some degree.

Getting graphics (as opposed to text) to work correctly on all resolutions is a massive pain quite frankly, so I've just been putting it off. At the moment my priority is getting the web code rewritten as it is causing all of the current crashes. Once this is stable, the app should be virtually crash-proof... (fingers crossed anyway)

Admittedly, there isn't much work involved in getting the remaining UI to work with all resolutions so I'll try to get it in for the next version. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Erythros:
Eagerly awaiting.

I gotta say, I come check everyday for v0.3.2 correcting the previous issues.

Once that happens I foresee never using Pandora or GS player again.

I would gladly pay for this app once complete. I hope everyone else who has tried it feels the same way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Erythros:
Weird

I recently noticed that the number of results grooveshark displays has shrunk dramatically. I have used grooveshark for a long time now on a daily basis and I know what results to expect for my favorite artists. I had thought Groovefish was to blame, for limiting results recently, but now I see differently. This started happening about 1 week ago.

From within Grooveshark I have to go to the playlists or albums to actually find long lists of songs by the artists. I think you had mentioned looking to implement an album search, and if you did it would be great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Atomzk:
How about adding some support for hardware buttons? Scroll wheel, 4way pad, etc? Scrolling on a QVGA screen is rather erratic at times. Often a song gets selected when I just want to browse through a list, or the list refuses to move. When a song is playing scrolling also becomes more choppy.

I think using the scroll wheel would make navigating lists more effective. Otherwise it's a great program. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] muyoso:
I don't really want to tell the developer what to do because he seems to be doing a great job on his own, but I would personally like to see more features added to the program before he worries about porting it to QVGA or adding d-pad support or scroll wheel support or any of that.

Adding things like:

Playlists

Ability to log into Grooveshark account

Search by artist/album/song

Adding Autoplay support
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] {SBR}_L3GION:
I agree with most of the lists above anothe feauture i believe you should add is the ability to listen to music after the screen goes off I use S2U2 and whenever my screen goes off the music stops
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
New version: Coming soon. :)

Groovefish 0.3.2 should be up on 1800PocketPC.com sometimes soon. :)

So not a lot new in terms of functionality, but there are a significant number of changes under the surface which should make it more stable.

On QVGA compatibility - I've only tested it on the QVGA emulator (I don't have a QVGA device) so you'll have to let me know if there are any problems with it on non-VGA resolutions.

I've spent a good hefty chunk of my weekend doing this, so I hope it is appreciated! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] niknik76:
Barguast, I demand that you quit your job (and ditch your girlfriend) and use all of your time on this app! :p

And for program feedback: Before installing a new version I have uninstalled the previous. But the icon in the program folder is still there from the older version. Just to let you know
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
Thanks! I will make sure to provide feedback

what version .net is needed for this to work properly? I get an instant error upon starting the app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dutchman71:
Same here, previous version working fine. Instant crash.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Erythros:
Crashing.....

I too get the crash on startup..

details...

Groovefish.exe

MissingMethodException

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iclickjohn:
also went back to last version

same problem.

I tried to delete all of the remnants of 0.3.1 went back to previous version and still get this message upon starting the program:

Groovefish.ese

MissingMethodException

File or assembly name

'Groovefish.Web,

And by the way, this IS much appreciated software. For sure, I believe everyone loves it. Dang, Now I miss it. I'm going to try to go back and find every sliver of left behind file from it and reload again. Why would I be getting the same error now when I go back to earlier version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arlindemini:
Groove on HTC TP2

Newest version crashes as everyone else said with same message, however .3.1 works great, thanks for this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] butler360:
Same thing here with .32, instant crash.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] njbreaker:
.31

works fine...on my TP2 Verizon stock rom.

i love this prog!

THANK YOU!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shadowhawk2020:
ne1 know where I can get .31?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ScubaSteve20001:
Yeah it looks like he forgot to package the 'GrooveFish.Web.dll' in the cab file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iclickjohn:
is it still a net framework issue?

I did download the 3.5 framework. Upon loading it, it was revealed that I had a later version of Net framework and to remove it prior to installing 3.5. I've looked everywhere to find the installed one to delete. but when they say later do they mean newer? If so, perhaps it will mess something else up on my phone. Using flash the angels 6.5 ROM from Evidence on Omnia. I had grooveshark working (with the bad graphics) until downloading the new version. I saved the older version and now that one doesn't seem to work as well. So I think there is other issues. I am willing to do a hard reset for this app. But I see we have not gotten a remark from Barguast today. I'll wait to hear his suggestions. Funny that some have it working. This is a killer app.

I have downloaded and installed 3, 3.1, and 3.2 So I think there may be some failure fragments left in my sys.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Erythros:
Well, Actually I wish it were that simple.

Being as impatient as I am I rebuilt a new cab of version 0.3.2 including said missing file.

Groovefish started up unlike before because it now found the file, but on trying to search for songs it then crashed with a whole load of new errors.

All we can do is wait and pray for 0.3.2.1 to come out..

:-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Oops. It seems I had missed a file or two. I've rebuilt the CAB and it installed and ran fine on my phone. Hopefully it'll fix it. I've sent the CAB to the0ne to put on 1800PocketPC.com, so keep an eye out for it. :)

Sorry. :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
its up now.. had an issue with the server
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] butler360:
New cab works now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kniffo80:
aye. confirm. testing ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Can any QVGA users please let me know if it is looking / working correctly. In addition to the graphics 'fitting', the scrolling on the search results pane should be more sensitive than it was before, which should fix the problem reported by some users where attempting to scroll would inadvertently start another song playing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] optiknerv:
20th october release ????? Its only the 19th today lol.

won't install on Omnia i910 with 23064 Wozzer ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Hi, with both 3.1 and 3.2 versions, it is working fine over Wifi connection, but it doesn't over data connection.

Groovefish does launch my data connection over 3G, but when I select a song to play, let's say 'Sweet child o'mine' by the 'Guns N' Roses', I'm blocked on the 'Requesting stream...' message.

In the debug log, the BASS_Init is BASS_OK, but I'm getting the following message looping:

"Get Stream Error:" blah blah saying the following component is missing 'NETCFv35.Messages.FR.wm.cab'.

When I set my regional settings to English, I get the same error message saying the component 'NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab' is missing.

I'm under Topix 3.1, on Touch HD, which has NETCFv35 installed. Should I install the NETCFv35 again?

And by the way, my data connection is name 'wap SFR' if this could help...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@norcalstoppy - Any error messages? Is it the actual installation that fails, or when you try to start the application?

@michoob - It's odd that it works over one connection but not another. It does sound like a .NET issue if it says a component is missing; 'NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab' isn't one of mine! I'd try installing 3.5, and trying again. Let me know how it goes. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lovehepburn:
It's looking and working fine for me. Omnia i900, wqvga, ROM 6.5 23064 by Sector.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Right! it works perfect on my Omnia i900 (WQVGA) !!!

Here an idea to make the App more perfect:

You have a Image with 2 notes on the left side down.

Can you load there a Cover (Picture) of the CD Box (Called CD - Cover in germany) from the Music that played?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Yes, I could load in the song artwork. In fact, this was on v0.1 but it got taken out again when I changed to the current interface.

If this version proves to be stable, I'll be beginning work on the new interface this week. It'll be a big change from the current version, but it'll allow me to include a playlist editor, etc. When I do that, I'll start thinking about getting the song artwork back in. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheRem:
could you also add a "screen-off" (lightsout) button?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
hi barguast.

can you tell me where i can find my current version id??

is 0.32 as of today, i will download it iif it is.

thanks mate. keep it up. :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
You can't find the version number anywhere at the moment. :p

And yes, 0.3.2 got uploaded a few hours ago. If you haven't downloaded it today, you'll have an older version and may want to get the new one. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Major A:
I've got the exact same problem on my device with .NET37 in rom. I changed the versions strings in registry and nothing good went on.

So I think it's probably linked to the proxy access on port 8080 with the WAP SFR connection. Maybe it could be possible to enable Groovefish over HTTP proxy ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
I guess you're right majorasshole.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dko78:
Great idea and a great app!

Just would like to suggest a couple of things :)

First of all it would be great if the app was added to Modaco's AppToDate. It would make it easy to keep up with the latest version.

Also, i noticed there is no search history. The search form clears when you exit.

Thanks again for the app!

I'm having major problems with version 0.3.2 via a 3G connection

A search will not return any items and seems to freeze the application

Checking the log I see several messages:

Search error: An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayed because these messages are optional and are not currently installed on this device. Please install "NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab"

This error did not show with version 0.3.1

I did not try with wifi yet.

Can you add a link to the previous version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iclickjohn:
You are a beautiful human

This is my new crack addiction. Yes, it works on Sammy Omnia. PEFECT. I was going to take care of some "business" this morning but playing with this is MUCH better. The part that makes this app fun is trying to remember all the remote songs or artists that you've loved for so many years. I'm old so I've been enjoying "Wipe Out", "In a gadda da vida", Eric Clapton, some obscure stuff that no one would ever remember, so fun. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dko78:
Sorry, didn't have time to read all the thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
The app hasn't changed that dramatically, so I can't think why these errors have suddenly started appearing. It is still making HTTP requests no matter what data connection you're using, so I don't see what the problem could be.

Without an actual error message (as opposed to an error about the lack of error message), I can't hope to debug this - you're going to have to help me out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Peron is on Vodafone, which is the same provider as SFR in France like for me and majorasshole.

Perhaps Peron is under a proxy too.

What do you think about this proxy idea, Barguast?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romualdrichard:
I am in France with SFR.

I am still getting 403 error after searching 'relax' for instance and trying to listen to the first song.

Strangely, its working with grooveshark on the PC connected to the phone.

Hum, not a proxy issue for me....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclu:
Very very good thanks you!:)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PatcheZ:

this is such a great idea, keep up the good work!

now if the bloody network can just keep up and stream the music properly.

wonder if it's possible to compress the streaming data further...

All I can say that on my wifi network it works beautifully, the application seems to use less resources also.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:

Hi!

Love this badly! :)

Tried it on my Cruise and it works fine besides that half of the time it can't play the songs... Hope this is fixable or something....

I will follow the developing of this closely!!

Realy hope there's a WVGA version out when i get my HD2 :)

Thanks for making this!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Erythros:

well it works fine on my xperia, (WVGA) so it shouldnt be a problem running on HD2. PS. i have a problem its happens sometimes when the screen turns off the music stops playing, but not all the time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluruld:
Issues I've found with this program if you could please help. I'm on a Verizon TP2.

1. Its says:

Requesting stream Key...

Requesting stream...

Starting...

00:-01 / 00:-01

This occurs on like 90% of the returned search results for many artists.

2. It doesn't remember previously typed searches after program is closed.

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@bluruld - Can you check to see how much free memory you have?

The Debug Log will probably have BASS_ERROR_MEM in it somewhere whenever that happens, which is basically saying there isn't enough memory to download the song. The app currently downloads to device memory, but in future I'll allow the option of using the storage card as a backing store. This should solve the problem once and for all.

@ToddeSwe - Looking forward to the HD2 as well. My Xperia has seen better days! FYI, the app already works in WVGA and has from the beginning. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diablade:
sorry but still the same problem :

can any one tell me how is this possible ?

my phone is an Omnia i900 with Sector's ROM 23064 Build WM6.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@diablade - Does it do that for all songs you've tried?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diablade:
yep ! ALL SONGS ! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Bizarre. Even moreso that the searching succeeded, but the download of the stream fails. There isn't much of a difference between the two in the application itself. I'll have a dig around when I get home.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joweedeame:
thanks thanks from all QVGA

finally QVGA support!

I haven't tested it but reading that it now supports QVGA is much of a treat already!

THANKS THANKS barguast! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joweedeame:
AWESOME

Works fine on my omnia...

ORIGINAL ROM...

tried searching and playing 6 songs... no crashes or bugs...

good work barguast!

5 thumbs up!

If I was your device I wouldn't want to play Michael Jackson's Billie Jean either....LOL...

That song is definately FORBIDDEN on my phone too.

Anybody using 0.3.2 successfully with a 3G or HSDPA connection?

For me it only works via wifi.

If it works for you how did you install it? First install? On top of 0.3.1? Removed 0.3.1 and installed 0.3.2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
It works for me on all connections - Wifi, HSDPA, 3G, EDGE... even GPRS to some degree. All my versions have been installed over the previous version.

michoob seemed to have an idea of what the problem might be, but since I don't have the problem I can't really get a grasp of what to do about it.

Presumably you can get onto the browse the internet successfully? And didn't have to set up anything to get it working? (e.g. michoob mentioned setting up a proxy)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
Thanks Barguast.

What Michoob said is that Vodafone requires to enter a gateway/proxy address on top of the APN for their mobile internet connection.

But that should not have anything to do with this issue since 0.3.1 was working just fine with the exact same setup.

What I did was removing 0.3.1 and rebooting before installing 0.3.2

I wonder if this approach screwed up something.

If I can get hold of 0.3.1 somewhere I will install that first and then upgrade
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] niknik76:
I have had all versions and have uninstalled each one before going to the newer one and 0.3.2 is working no probs
