OMG an early Christmas!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
When when :p:p??

Is this unfinished version allowing for storing the songs on the memory card?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I don't plan an allowing songs to be downloaded exactly - certainly not as MP3s. The plan is to use the storage card purely as a download location to avoid having to use the phone's memory. This will reduce memory consumption significantly, and ought to fix the 'Failed to play song' error (formally known as the 00:-01 error :p).

The download data will be encrypted so that only Groovefish can use it. The reason being that I don't want to get entangled in any piracy implications.

I haven't done much work on this yet, but I expect it'll be in the next release.

EDIT: 'When' should be 'this year'. :p Hopefully. :D

broken?

Is this APP broken?? I installed it on mp Sprint TP2.. ran the program, type in an artiast I am looking for and NADA.. nothing .. the program doesnt return any results and the "X" next to the search box does nothing.. in fact the program appears frozen...

any help would be appreciated...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
first, make sure you have the most up to date CAB (see post 2). the older versions no longer work and cause a nasty crash. then, do a search and go to Options .. View Debug Log and tell me what error messages come up and I'll try to assist from there...

Running 3.2

I know I've got the newest MS net compact framework3.7.

Using the .dll patch provided.

I'm getting search results, but when I go to play a track, it reads "requesting stream" I get the following error in the log:

"Get stream error" and gives reference to NETCFv3.5.cab. Odd, because I have 3.7 installed.

Icve now installed netcf3.5 and reinstalled 3.7. The Groovefish and fix. Still getting same error about 95% of the time. But will occasionallu play. Frustrating.

Still trying to work through this and get up and running once again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
forums have been up and down the last few days, any new news on the next move? I know your just thinking things out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sorcer1:
Hello,

The app use wich port ? 80, 21 ,etc ...

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@mozz_y - It seems you have a missing DLL which is part of the PocketPC SDK. I'm surprised this isn't included in a stock Diamond 2 ROM. You can probably get these from the PocketPC SDK, although it's a hefty download. I'll try to remember to upload these somewhere so you can get at them.

@msh441 - Everyone is having the same problem as you. I suspect the old protocol is being phased out which Groovefish currently uses. The next version will use the new protocol and I'll try to ensure better compatibility.

@Walkonatyclb - I'm working on a lot of the core code at the moment and want to make sure I get it right. Hopefully it won't take too long, but at the moment I've got a lot of 'real life' things that are preventing me from getting my head down and get the next release finalised.

@sorcer1 - Port 80 and 443 I believe - all of the communications are via HTTP and HTTPS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Im Packing:
I noticed since updating cabs that Groovefish has less problems, but...though this is purely aesthetics, the music notes icon in the lower left corner is missing now. Downgraded to older cab and it's displayed, but I ended up with a few issues of the program freezing. So I'm using the updated cab version as it seems to be working fine, sometimes can't find songs...but overall it's great. I can deal without the music note icon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scotchy49:
This app is just wonderful !

Playlist support would be a huge step and would make this app a MUST HAVE to all !

Thank you for your effort and keep up the good work !

Let's hope the new version becomes available well before grooveshark becomes a target by the major record companies.

You know that will happen sooner or later.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JKingDev:
I dont see why Jobs will allow such an app that competes with itunes. They allowed pandora, but that is more like internet radio. An app like GS that lets you play any song you want?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Masterface7:
I am pretty sure they allowed spotify so same thing but more love for Americans this time. This can be good news for us to since iphone apps have been ported to winmo before maybe some code can be examined from the iphone app?

Also Thanks Barguast for staying active in the thread.

issues playing a lot of songs :(

just starting yesterday it has been acting up and not playkng a lot of the songs it used to it goes to request sttream but keeps giving me this: any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] samaruf:
It worked for me until three days ago. Yesterday it found the songs but would get stuck in "Requesting stream" and I would see all kinds of error messages in the log. Today the program crashes on startup. I think there is a server issue somewhere.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Again, I think the issue is with Grooveshark. They may just be phasing out the old protocol which is what Groovefish is currently using. The next version will use the new protocol which I think should solve the problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shympw:
truly amazing, thanks.

i'm dying to get the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BeerChameleon:
Sweet cant wait til the new version im getting kinda annoyed with pandora lately when are we expecting the new version? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joey100282:
ok im sorry if i posted the same thing as someone else. ive read through as much of the 60 some pages as i can without going crazy. i have downloaded the most recent version available in the second post and when i search for ANYTHING, it basically freezes, and doesnt do anything after that, wont show results, or anything for that matter. i would click the debug report thing, but it wont let me click anywhere. i can hit the home hardware button and i can go to the home screen but i cant do anything with groove shark. does it matter at all that im using wifi as opposed to the phones data connection? SOrry if the question is redundant, just really want this to work. thank you so much for your time and i look forward to finally being able to use this program
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
@ joey100282 - I sounds like you have the 'old' 0.3.2. I really should have upped the version number. It was a minor fix to account for a change in the Grooveshark protocol - the consequence being that the interface would freeze when you try to exit. You should be getting InvalidTokenException-s in your Debug log.

Try downloading the app again (from the link in the second post) and trying again.

@ davidrules7778 - I don't know when it'll be finished. I'd like to say before the year is out, but there are a lot of things I need to do. And I want to make sure they're done right.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BeerChameleon:
Great to hear!!!!

Nice i cant wait til then and btw take your time rather have a good nice working app rather then one with errors and bugs and wat not. Thanks for all your hard work :)

Groovefish Back up!

Hey just wanted to let everyone know that after having Groovefish for a week with no issues all of a sudden its not working properly giving me crazy messages that i needed net 3.5 and as well as other messages that have been posted already I didseveral soft resets over and over worked at times and then it just didnt. I happened to do a full back up of my touch pro last night. I decided to restore everything and YES! it works again. Not sure what this means but I hope it helps in any on these glitches.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
Guess what PS3 works with new grooveshark, has anyone found a way to make the view better? you can load your playlist and all and search songs. My problem is when you want to see the list its compressed so tight you can't see the whole words and the add takes up a good chunk of screen. If only you could make the home side bar decrease to side your be able to see. Im not paying 3 bucks to see it all on the right.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZombiesAreBad:
The last update worked great but now Groovefish wont search and in the debug log I get "search error: invalidtokenexception" over and over.

Went to look for a new version but the link to ppc wasn't working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pesok:
just wanted to say i am a huge fan of this app, opened my eyes(well ears really) to a plethora of music out there! Cant wait for new version(perhaps with not loading of some songs fix(just gets stuck on requesting key) and perhaps some kind of "play all" or even "add this song to playlist" sort of to make the player play more than one song at the time(not at same time but one after another(damn i cant explain myself if my life depended on it:))

Great job!

So I'm getting the invalid token error and i have the latest version installed. I downloaded it from this link. http://www.1800pocketpc.com/groovefish-grooveshark-client-for-windows-mobile

I also tried the fix earlier in the thread. Nothing. Still getting the same error.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with my .net 3.5 installation. Is that possible? I have microsoft (R) .NET compact framework 3.5.7283.0, 2.0.7045.0

Other than that, I'm completely at a loss.

Still can't get to the music . . .

Guys,

I'v downloaded latest ver, swapped the web.dll from scilor (thanks) and now I get past the initial freezing, type in a song, get a list, select a song, then watch the status say . . "requesting stream key...", then "requesting stream".

Now it just hangs here. I also tried shutting down my data connection and use WiFi. It just gets to that point faster!! LoL. still hangs there. I can also select another song while it 'hung', and it will move that song to the lower window and hang on the "requesting stream" message.

Any suggestions? :confused:

While we're all waiting for the next version, has anybody succeed in running grooveshark site on their browser?

I tried Opera but will not accept flash, Skyfire does load the site but does not allow to enter text in flash text forms.

Any other workaround?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Not just yet. Most of the 'support' code is written, so I should be able to start making pretty interfaces soon. :p

I'm having to reel myself in a little bit - I'm eager to get the next release out which will merely match the functionality of the current version (but hopefully fixing the current issues in the process!). This will make it easier to develop the next version whilst also being able to fix bugs, etc.

Thanks for creating the quickfix btw, scilor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
why is grrovefish changing its protocol. is this to stop barguast?

wow that makes me sound like i am technical lol.

is the scilor fix something we are going to have to keep doing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Groovefish isn't changing the protocol, but Grooveshark is. I don't get told when the protocol changes (despite making myself and this project known to them, they still haven't talked to me) and when it does it can stop Groovefish working altogether. Thankfully, so far, the changes have just been the value of a simple token (the version number) which is easy to fix. If they deprecate their old protocol, which the current version of Groovefish uses, then it'll be a lot more complicated. That's why the next version is going to adopt the new protocol.

It's just a matter of keeping up with them. :)

I'm very grateful to scilor for updating the DLL so far, but I don't rely on him doing so. The code for the current version is on another PC and I'm trying to devote as much of my spare time towards getting the next version out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
thanks for prompt response.

i also thank scilor for doing the fixes but i am totally aware that this is your baby.

so keep up the top banana work dude.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rdwing:
Due to the Grooveshark's development of their own mobile applications, I would expect this to stop working permanently soon.

first of all, let me say that this app single-handedly kicks the butt of every other OS.

I have tried a fresh install of groovefish and have installed the new web.dll patch (quickfix v3) from SciLor's Website.

the issue im having is that the list loads up fine but after clicking on the song... it steadily says requesting stream.

on the Debug log, it states "Get stream error: the remote server returned an error: (400) bad request. "

I tried over 10 different songs, both, over wifi and EV-DO... no go.

Any reason to what gives?

And keep up the good work!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chalid:
same here :-/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CeLlgUy:
It appears that Grooveshark has made some changes which effects how this app gets the stream. That combined with the list of things in post 1 is what is being worked on right now. Hopefully we see a new version soon. Whether it's full featured or not would be even better. In the mean time, I am settling for Pandora. :(

Isn't it time to nominate our Barguast (Groovefish) for a 2009 XDA Devvy Award

I have taken the lead to move along an idea that, turns out, someone posted about in March 2008: the idea of having recognition awards for outstanding achievement in app & rom & skin development at XDA. Now that Android has so rapidly matured to become a major competitive platform to Windows Mobile, iPhone, RIM, the mobile phone app culture has exploded. As such, it's time, I feel, to recognize great achievements here at XDA -- and not next year, but this year.

Everytime my screen gets turn off, Groovefish pauses the song. So I can only enjoy 60 seconds, then have to tap the power button on my phone....enjoy 60 more seconds, then tap power button again....and on and on and on. I was hoping there would be something in the settings menu for this, but there is not. Is there anyway to stop this from happening??
