Consider myself subscribed to this thread...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kyle244948:
Just a suggestion, but I was thinking while playing the songs you should be able to turn the screen off and the music still play. What do you guys think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ilinimud:
I hope this hasnt already been over, but i dont have time to read 53 pages. lol I just got a HTC Diamond from alltel. One big reason i picked it over a blackberry is for this and other apps. I cannot get Groovefish to work (or bolt browser)

this is what it says when i open it: "this application requires a newer version of microsoft .net compact framework than the version installed on your phone"

Can anyone help with that. ALso, i cant even find Bolt brpwser after dling it to my phone :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
See here for information about installing .NET 3.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mihaid:
screen off

I just thought to let you know that on my Diamond it seems to work fine when I turn off the screen with the power button. I'm on WM6.5 bogysoft Rom. disregard my sig.

correction: after turn off the screen, it continues to play the song and then at the end when I turn screen on to start different song the song does not play, some kind of error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:
Now i'm disappointed :(

Hi!

Installed Groove today on my HD2 and guess WHAT, i need a NEWER .NET :)

Is this a joke :)

Windows Mobile 6.5 and a brand new mobile that needs a newer version of .NET :)

And i know that it takes up a large amount of space, that's why i'm disappointed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ilinimud:
I downloaded the new version of .NET and it says the same thing on my phone. So the list goes on: No Bolt, no Groovefish, no new .NET, tried a java emulator and that ddint work. Bye Diamond, Hello Blackberry. I cant figure this thing out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I've never had a problem with my .NET install and Groovefish throughout all my time with my WM phones - each using a number of different ROMs. I don't know what the problem is, but I've helped others with the same problem in this thread.

A Java emulator won't make a difference. Groovefish is C#-based, not Java.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ilinimud:
im going to keep trying. i like my phone,just frustrated. ihave to have this app though! i used grooveshark on my computer and it is great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JKingDev:
Looking forward to the next version! May I suggest volume control with the up/down keys when at the now playing screen? Just an idea. Would be convenient. Keep up the great work but dont work too hard!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:
Me to and please do work harder and you will be rewarded :) For once i will pay money to get a software :) This is way to good to use and not pay or donate.

Realy hope other users will make some donations when we see some progress.

As i said before, have not waited so eager for something (besides my HD2) ever.

Keep up the work :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ilinimud:
Im so jealous. I still cant even get it on my Diamond. I installed a new ROM (2.00.671.5) and all it did was make my TouchFlo SLOW as all get out. It still says i need to update my .NET software, but when i do that, it doesnt except the .NET software either. I dont understand, this ROM just came out in March of 09' how can i need to update .NET???

Can anyone help, or do i need to post this problem in another area?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RobvT:
Any news about playlist? Great app but it's not easy to search tracks while driving.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Don't! I don't want to be responsible for anyone crashing!

I'm taking my time with this release as with previous versions I've tried to get things done quickly and ended up having to start from scratch with the following version. I'd guess the next version is a couple of weeks away to say the least. I'll make sure it's worth the wait!

@ ilinimud - All I can say is that the application is configured to use .NET 3.5. If you have .NET 3.5 and it is still complaining then I'm stumped I'm afraid. Do any current Diamond owners have any clues? :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ilinimud:
Thanks for trying to help Barguast. I tried to d/l through that link you posted, but it didnt work. Do i need to be synced to my comp to d/l that?

EDIT: I just seen the instructions on how to d/l .NET. I will have to do it the right way and see. I suck at this whole "syncing" to computer thing!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It's real simple, yes, you need to update .net.... Even 6.5 roms did not come with .net 3.5 or an older 3.5, not sure. It's the same situation with many .net programs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ilinimud:
Woo Hoo! finally got the 3.5 .net working! Thanks so much to everyone here!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RobvT:
I'll be careful.......being a young dad and all since six months (-;

Thx for developing this great app....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] magsb:
Sorry, I'm new to the forum, and sorta computarded, so I failed to understand what I need to do to get the newer version of microsoft.net, to get this app working on my imagio. I really look forward to using groovefish on my phone!:) It looks like an amazing app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] younxta:
Hi, thank you very much for this app, it works great! But I have one problem, it only works with wifi and not with 3G...Is there a way to solve this problem? Here's some info;

Device: HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)

ROM: Topix 3.1.2 - WM6.1 - Radio 1.17

Provider: Vodafone Netherlands

Log:

BASS_Init: BASS_OK

Searching for 'pink floyd' (Songs)

Getting communication token

Search Error: The operation has timed-out. <-- this line keeps repeating...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulthepwner:
Great piece of software. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hedehode1:
awesome application. thanks very very thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
The 3G connections seems to be to slow.

The Problem occurs because Groovefish doesn't buffers the music on a clean way.

This Problem may be fixed in the next version (Mentioned in the first post of this thread)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
If the search is failing, it'll have nothing to do with buffering. A time out occurs if the request can't be made within the predefined time window which I think is about 5 seconds or so. That should be plenty in most cases. What signal strength/type do you have?

@ magsb - I linked to .NET 3.5 a couple of pages back. It's on the Microsoft website. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
Has anyone had success in using 0.3.2 on a "6.5.1" ROM?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] younxta:
I have a fast internet connection, 3G with 4 bars strength. When i'm browsing sites, watching youtube, update weather etc. the data icon changes to H with 4 bars. With Groovefish the data icon stays on 3G and i get no search results, just a search error (see screens). It seems that the program isn't able to connect to the servers with the data connection, only with wifi...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
It's odd that your phone connects to HSDPA when you're internet browsing. Mine just connects whenever it is available. Maybe it has something to do with your Data Connection setting in the Comm Manager? Perhaps a workaround would be to have the browser run in the background while you use Groovefish?

@bobzero - Groovefish should work fine under 6.5.1 provided the prerequisites are also installed (.NET Framework 3.5, etc).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] whiskeybro:
Thanks for your great app.

this must be the best app from 2009 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] younxta:
You were right. I deleted my provider's proxy and then it worked:)

Much thanks for this great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
have you noticed the PS3 browser does not play or load Grooveshark anymore either?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blitz_:
Once again I love this app, but since I updated my Xperia to "EnergyROM_21869_KOVSKY_19.Nov.2009_StandardM2.5" I can't get it to work again.

I can search for songs and list them, but I can't play them.

The log just says:

"Get Stream Error: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request"

and

"Get Stream Error: This request requires buffering of data for authentication or redirection to be successful"

Is there something wrong with phone settings or is this a general problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmezquita:
Saw someone post about this a bit back, this cab keeps the music playing when you hit the power button so you can turn the screen off. I was using itwith Pandora but works with this as well. I got it from PPCGeeks somwere, not my cab not trying to take any credit...

PS Cant wait for the update!! Great App!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skriptal:
I am getting the same problem on a HTC Touch Pro 2 on Verizon Network running winmo 6.5 MightyRom.

I installed the program today around 8:00 CST and it worked just fine. By 10:00 CST the program ceased working. I am able to search for music and pull up the list of results but when I try to play a song I get the "Get Stream Error: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request" error. If I search for another song the program will crash my phone and a removal of the battery is necessary to restart my phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
After a quick search, the error seems to point towards another proxy problem. Groovefish is still working for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ticklemepinks:
did you figure out how to fix the requesting stream error??? its judt stuck there
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
There wasn't anything to fix - it worked for me without any issues. Is anyone else suddenly having problems?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blitz_:
I changed back to my old rom, and I still have this problem. Maybe my operator changed something, everything else is working as it should.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] y0himba:
Working just fine for me. Waiting for playlist mode ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Nope, I entertained my daughter at the doctors office playing Miley Cyrus for 20 minutes just yesterday.

The phone will recover, I had to talk nice to it for a hour after forcing it to play such ilk.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Masterface7:
Hi, Not sure if it is the same fix but a registry edit to accomplish this is

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended

Wav1 set to "0"

has been working for me.

Do i still need to copy scilors' groovefishquickfix into the program folder or has it been included in the cab now? if it has shouldn't the cab be renamed to like 0.3.2b or somthing
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twitmer:
Groovefish Streaming Error

Same issue here too. Just started happening yesterday, but it's intermittent. I can search without any issues, and sometimes I can get a song to play.

But most of the time I get the following errors:

"Get Stream Error: This request requires buffering of data for authentication or redirection to be successful" - This error appears once after selecting song from the search results.

"Get Stream Error: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request" - This error repeats over and over.

I'm running the Nov 14 Build of MightRom (WinMo6.5.1) on my Sprint Touch Pro 2. It was working fine for the last 2 weeks and just started failing recently, haven't installed anything new or changed any settings... so I'm not sure what's going on.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wuchungman:
yes.......i have this problem too:(

i already install netcfv.5...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twitmer:
Have you noticed that it is song-specific? Whenever I get these two errors, I can never get that song to play, no matter how many times I try. But usually I can find other songs in the search results that play just fine.

For whatever reason, attempting to play the first song in the search results seems to almost always trigger this error... while many of the other songs in the search results will play just fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blitz_:
I found one song that will play, AC/DC - Thunderstruck. But no other one, I have tried about 30 songs and Thunderstruck is the only one that starts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Poodlemastah:
I'm getting these 400 errors too for most songs, sucks.

Hope there is something you can do Bargaust.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] seminole1994:
Mine is doing the same thing played about 3 songs now it won't play anymore
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ticklemepinks:
glad it isn't just me!!! :-D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skyler17:
Can't wait for an update
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I've been testing a version today whilst at work and have found a few bugs, some more serious than others - depending on how hard they are to fix, the new version should be out tonight or tomorrow. Fingers crossed for tonight. :)

I'm looking forward to getting this release out just so I can start adding more complex features - I have lots of ideas.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kernman:
great news....if you can get the screen off function and the ability to stream our playlists i will be a generous donater:D:D:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] niknik76:
@Barguast

sounds great.. looking forward to the release and your ideas
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skyler17:
If you have ever used Nitrogen, it went around the screen off= volume off problem by adding a soft button that somehow turns off the screen but keeps the music playing. Tapping the power button will still stop the music though.

So maybe you could ask microfi how he implemented that feature in Nitrogen. It could be a temporary solution for the screen off = music interruption problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
New Release Coming Tonight :D

Thanks skyler, I've PMed microfi about the screen off feature. For now, the next version has a feature which stops the screen from turning off. It'll still dim, but it won't turn off entirely. It solves the problem of the music stopping, but I agree it'd be better to turn the screen off entirely if you're only listening.

Here is a breakdown of the next version (0.3).

Entirely redesigned (much improved) user interface

Search screen now with song and artist name

The ability to pause, play, and seek when playing music

Improved stability

Here are a few issues which will be resolved in future, nothing serious:

I've created some of the UI controls myself, and some are currently touch screen-only. I'm hoping most people nowadays use a touch screen phone and this won't be a problem, but if not then I'll try to add non-touch support in future.

Song artwork support has been removed temporary, just so I can get a new release out ASAP. This will be back in the next release.

The player can be a little iffy at times - it occasionally refuses to play any more songs without an application restart.

As you can see, no playlists as yet. This will be the focus of the next non-bug fixing release. I want it just as badly as everyone else. :)

The new release should be up tonight (once I get home)! It will be hosted exclusively on www.1800pocketpc.com in future thanks to the0ne. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JustBored:
Swedish ROM

Hi just love this app!

A few things about inst on a Swedish ROM:

The "Start Menu" folder is called "Start-meny" in Swedish

The "Programs" folder is called "Program"

And the app inst in

"Program files\groovefish" in Swe should be "program\groovefish"

It was easy to move when a realized what happened :-)

Just for your info.

And thank's again for a wounderful app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I think the problem is which the CAB maker not handling regional settings. I could do with a better one - in the the last version I just used the first free one I could find!

If any other developers know of a good (free) CAB maker, please let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
New version is up! :)

I hope you like the new interface - I'll be starting work on some new features very shortly. In the meantime, please report all bugs here. There are a couple of known issues, but nothing major.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kniffo80:
Hi Barguast,

very very nice application. But there are some problems accessing some titles in the search list. If i open the log, i can see, there are sometimes some exceptions accessing the song. Perhaps, you can bring up a message dialog, telling, that there was a problem starting the song? I've to close the app and reopen it, to make it work properly.

*thumbs up* nice work.

edit: perhaps, you could enable a timestamp in the message log? it's easier to analyze the log entries ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Can you give me some examples of songs that you're having problems with? For example, the nth search result when searching for 'xxxxxx'.

Some exceptions in the log are normal as they indicate the web request to Grooveshark failed (often due to poor signal, etc). Whenever these happen, Groovefish will simply make the request again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
good morning barquast,

i have just tried your app.

love the icon dude.

i have touch pro on stock rom running wm6.1

the app loads and the home page comes on breifly then i get loads of error screens popping up.

' an uxpected error has occured'.... 'could not load system type ' system core, version=s.5.0.0, culture=neutral,

public key token 969db8053d23322ac.

plus more info at the bottom.

i have to remove all them by pressing quit then the app just goes away.

thanks for your help on a rocking app.

mahender

would i be correct in assuming coz it say WM6 it wont work on 6.1??

thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Do you have .NET 3.5 installed? It's a pre-requisite. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
yes mate i do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
It was working on a WM6.1 emulator when i tried it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I've been testing it on a 6.5 ROM, but it should work on any 6.x, provided .NET 3.5 is installed. I'll have to look into the cause of that error message - it certainly looks like a missing .NET 3.5 assembly.

If anyone else gets the same issue, please post about it here.

mahender - if you could post some more of the error message (as much as possible) I'd really appreciate it. I know there is a lot of text in those exceptions! EDIT: Also, did v0.2 work for you? The download link is still in post #2 of this topic.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eoura:
It works on my 6.1! I'm using Jack's v3.11 med WM6.1 rom on my Sony Xperia
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
i have attached error message shots.

i did try V0.2 that didnt work either. in fact when i went to install it it it didnt ask for any location instrustions, it just installed it.

i forgot to add it installed but wouldnt run.

it flashed this errror loads and loads of times. i had to quit several times to get rid of the messages. as far as i can see it seemes to be the same message too.

i wish i could be more technical to help. sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
And you're sure that you have .NET 3.5 installed? Either way, I would recommend (re)installing it - the error is complaining about a missing type which has actually been there since .NET 2.0, and which the application depends upon. The fact that it got so far before crashing indicates that there is a problem with your .NET installation. Is it the same exception on Groovefish v0.2?

It might be worth a try anyway! :)

By the way, the CAB of the previous version was produced using a different CAB maker. I'm now using a 'proper' one, which is why you now have the option of installing it on the storage card. It should solve the regional issues that were reported before, too!

On a separate note, I've found a problem with the audio player in that it sometimes won't re-initialise when playing a new song. The only workaround at the moment is to restart the application and play the song again. I will fix this over the weekend, along with whatever other problems arise. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
ok excuse me being a pleb.

i have just tried v0.2 it loads up the front page when i type a search in it comes up with anther error message attached.

i get further with verison 0.2 than the new one.

attached is the error message from version 0.2

thanks barguast.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I have the same Problem, it worked fine before some days on my leo. I will take a look at the Problem. If I find it I will give the fix through.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
If someone can give me an example search, I'll see if the problem is with Grooveshark (e.g. a dead stream that sometimes happens) or with Groovefish / your phone setup.

For example, search for 'xxxx' and select the 'n'th item on the list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blitz_:
If you search for "acdc" and select the 1st, 3d and 4:t.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mihaid:
Mine will not go past request stream....... either. It seems it's a dead stream like it was mentioned before. However the second result plays.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
The same for me actually. Though this is the first time I've noticed it! I'm not sure what the problem is yet, but I'll do a more thorough examination of the protocol to make sure I'm not missing anything out which might cause the request to be rejected.

In the meantime, as a workaround, try searching for a song by name. You'll get a lot of duplicates in the majority of cases, and one of them ought to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rdwing:
Ive been having the same 400 bad stream request errors for almost a week now, on almost every song.

try comfortably numb by pink floyd. doesn't work either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
EDIT: I have searched the thread and found the answer. I re-downloaded 0.32, replacing the 0.32 I had downloaded on oct 20. This new version should be called 0.32b or at least something different so that people can know that something has changed. As always, thanks for the great app!

I haven't been able to get the program to work for several days now.

When I do a search for any term, the debug log shows :

Token Invalid

Search Error: InvalidTokenException

and keeps repeating this message. After this, when I try to cancel the search, the program seems to be frozen. When I try to exit the program, it never closes and I can see that my data connection remains active. I have to soft-reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I'm assuming the 400 error is due to a protocol error. The protocol that Groovefish uses was deprecated a few weeks back when Grooveshark upgraded their client. The new version of Groovefish will be using the new protocol, and this ought to solve any problems. If not, not I'll have to start looking for the problem elsewhere.

To speed things up, I'm thinking of releasing the next release unfinished (with the same functionality of the current version, but without the new stuff) to at least get things up and running against. This shouldn't slow down the introduction of playlists, etc, but these'll have to come later.

This is an inevitable drawback of piggybacking on another service, I'm afraid. :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Reality Dysfunction:
I've been testing this app. on an HTC Touch 3g (Jade) and I'm finding that most tracks fail to play.

On searching for 'supermassive' the first result - Supermassive Black Hole by Muse fails to play (hangs on Requesting stream...). The second result Supermassive Black Hole [Haarp] plays consistently though.

Is everybody else having similar problems?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Pretty much everyone - see my previous post. I'll try to get it fixed for the next version, but at present I don't know what is causing it. I'll find out. :p
