v6 is running great. Wife still thinks this is the best thing since, well, me :) one "request/question" is there a way to shuffle the songs within a playlist??

Not a big deal, seeing all the work you've put into it, for me to handpick songs within the playlist---but it would be nice to not look down while driving.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Good to have always backups, min once a week :D. My Computer is weird since a year, sometime does not boot, ignores a hdd etc. There must be an hardware defect on the mainboard, cpu or power supply. But I will buy a new one in around a month, that makes development more fun, wihtout those crashes.

128GB SSD :D

Intel i7

high end graphics

8 DDR3 RAM

etc...

To bad that I had a little touch with another car half a year ago. 1100€ it costed :( Good to know that I will have it again on my "hobby" account after some HTML/CSS Website job this month.

Does anyone have problems with loading songs larger than 6MB? Is this a known bug? The Debug log says:

Failed to start song
BASS_StreamCreateFileUser: BASS_ERROR_MEM
Bass_Stream_Close
Playing
Stream Length: 6.30MB
Requesting stream...

This happens anytime the File is bigger than ~6MB. I have a HTC Touch Diamond and there should be enough memory free.

Add:

Maybe you could add the FLAG "BASS_STREAM_BLOCK" as alternative option to the Bass_StreamCreateFileUser call, if there

is no other issue. Then you can't seek in the File, but there is only decoded a small part of it in memory, not the whole file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you for the info, I think I will read a little bit about Bass. Maybe there is an option that allows to decode on the fly, or an option that decodes to the storage :).

If you have any experience with bass that could help, post it here or better in my forums: http://www.scilor.com/myboard
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toolsche:
I just found out, that the problem has been mentioned earlier in the GrooveFish-Thread, when Barguast was developing on it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=561374&highlight=groovefish&page=49

It seems, that there is not enough "continuous" memory free to decode the whole file. Maybe the phones memory is fragmented

and because of that in my case there is no continuous memory block of > 6MB available. Would be interesting if other users have

a different "limit" to further track down the issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
can you give us a clue how v7 is coming along or anything to look foreward to see in it? I always check everyday here and your board :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I was planning on downloading directly to the storage card, and providing the stream for Bass directly from that file. That would get around the out-of-memory errors.

Incidentally, there is an option in Bass to stop allocating the entire buffer at the start of the stream and instead just allocate a fraction of it and just retain what it is needed. The (significant) downside of which being that you won't be able to seek, and the song won't automatically be downloaded in it's entirety, rather it'll be downloaded when the current buffer is about to run out. On a phone, the latter makes non-buffered streaming not an option.

Hey Scilor,

I tried Groove Mobile with a different ROM now (2.11.Gen.Y) and now I can play songs up to 8MB. Still hope you can find a solution for streaming big files.

Btw. you still have this huge (> 2MB) kill.txt in your zip file.

toolsche
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you for your "testing". I may fix it by caching the music to file, thats the point :).

The file just blows up the file size for the hosters I use. Just ignore it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatmonk:
Is there no way that the kill.txt file can be removed from the archive as it makes downloading over GPRS (when you're nowhere near a WiFi spot) a real pain.

-FM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I put them into, to have something from the downloads (some filesharing points etc.). If you need to download with your phone over gprs try the mirror from my forums, because that file is compressed max without any kill.txt ;). (Please only do if really needed, otherwise I cannot efford the traffic anymore)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I uninstalled and reinstalled and it runs now. I wish I would have written down the error message.

Upon attempting to load a previously saved playlist (saved using a different version of GrooveMobile), I ran into an error

ObjectDisposedException

Also, when I click "Load" playlist from an imported online playlist (when it doesn't error out), it clears the current playlist but doesn't load anything into it so it just says "This is the playlist" with no songs on it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
That happend me today also. But I was able to load the playlist after that crash. I maybe forget to reset some variables.

Hiya, my Groovemobile suddenly stopped working today. Has this happened to anyone else? In the debug it keeps saying something about invalid tokens, for both search and music playing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Token or version seemy to be updated I will take a look soon today
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatmonk:
Hi Scilor,

Is the token really just that - a token? ie a value or small piece of code or something?

Is it something that you might be able to add as a small download that could be kept in an external file and maybe have a 'check for updated token' option in the menu that downloads a new 'token file'?

That way you wouldn't need to release 'token fix' versions whenever GrooveShark change their token. I would have thought this would make your dev easier as you don;t suddenly have to worry about changing a token while you're in the middle of adding new features etc.

Just an idea.

Thank you for the idea, just a little before you have written I had the same idea. I am currently working on a piece of software that tries to get the token/clientversion automatically :)

V8 fixed the .NET errors I was experiencing. Not sure if it's because of the fixes you made or the fact that I formatted and flashed a new ROM but it works either way hehe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I think it was your rom, or your cab of v7 got damaged. Have fun :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BeefJerky9:
Okay, so I finally got around to trying this. Overall, it works well, but there is one major issue. It seems there are some real problems with processor usage. It works fine via the built-in speaker or a wired headset, but has a lot of skipping issues when playing via my bluetooth headset. This problem is especially bad while the song is still buffering. I do not have this issue with any other applications, including S2P and even the HTC YouTube application.

I'm using a Touch Pro2 running the latest Verizon WM6.5 ROM.

Thanks for all your hard work on this program!

Some kind of slider at the bottom for different "pages". The pages itself will be skinable with xml files :D. Just a vision... needs time, much time :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdong:
Thanks for this program Scilor. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I was trying to skin it and ran into a couple problems. The background.png is a square but when you flip to the playlist the bars up top (and bottom?) resize and leave blank white spaces. I had to resort back to the original background as a result.

Also there seems to be no way to change the color that surrounds the seek bar? That is also a light gray with no way of changing as far as I can tell?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebrenda:
In the cab.zip download. what is the killme.txt.old file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I will try to make it possible to change the background color/text color. The seek bar you will never be able to change, it is a windows control

Just ignore that file, it just blows up the filesize for the hoster

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
do you think you can make a V9 that can make it so that big files can auto skip after so many seconds if song does not start so there can be true continuous play. Being when it says failed song it would not stop playing and be idle.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BeefJerky9:
Do you think you could make the program turn only the screen off when the standby button is pressed. S2P is able to do it, so I'm sure it can be done. It would be much easier this way, rather than having to pull up a menu to do it. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Alright so since you mentioned this, I wanted to voice my opinion on things I'd like to see this feature have.

Allow the user to choose a storage location.

For example:

\Storage Card\Music

Store the songs in sub-folders by artist name.

For example:

\Storage Card\Music\Blink 182

\Storage Card\Music\Thrice

\Storage Card\Music\The Used

etc.

Give the option to also create sub-folders for album titles

For example:

\Storage Card\Music\Blink 182\Dude Ranch

\Storage Card\Music\Blink 182\Enema of the State

\Storage Card\Music\Blink 182\Take Off Your Pants and Jacket

etc.

It should somehow know that it has already downloaded a song so that when it plays that song next (even if it's a week later), it plays from the stored song and does not have to re-download it.

Include track number in filenames for those of us who like to play albums in the order the artist wanted it presented :-)

For example:

Blink 182 - 03 - Aliens Exist.mp3

Blink 182 - 04 - Going Away to College.mp3

Blink 182 - 05 - What's My Age Again.mp3

etc.

This will also allow you to use Scilor's GrooveMobile or any other player like S2P, Nitrogen, etc. to play stored songs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
For now delete the songs out of your playlist. I may add this later on

Easily said :D. I already searched for a clean way, but didn't found one yet

I though of an XML file that stores all known songs. The Song saving may get adjustable by the user in some way other tools allow it. Just by "%artist%/%album%/%artist% - %songnum% - %songname%"...

Sorry for rare messages, I have to learn for my end tests of my "Abitur"(School). On Wednesday I will start with English... So just wait a while to get new updates from me :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I think if you named them consistently, you wouldn't need an XML to tell you which songs have been saved. So if it's attempting to play Blink 182 Enema of the State - 01 - Dumpweed, then just have the program look for a saved MP3 called "Blink 182 Enema of the State - 01 - Dumpweed.mp3". If it's there, play it... if it's not there, download it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Another idea, yes. I would have problems with songs that are existing multiple times on grooveshark(tm) :/.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Yeah but I think you can assume that if the mp3 exists with the same name/artist/album/track/etc. you can just play the mp3. I'm thinking the thing that will differentiate the songs is album title. For example, if an artist has a studio album and then releases a live version of the song, it always has a different album title. I supposed you could add an option to clear the saved track to re-download from Grooveshark, but it's going to end up downloading the same song again anyway, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toolsche:
Do the songs have a unique "song ID"? If yes, you could do a mapping of the

song ID to the cached song files. Additionally you could mark cached songs in

the search result list with a small icon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatmonk:
Grrr, just gota say I hate the file hosts you use Scilor!

Have tried for over an hour to download from both RapidShare and uploaded.to and failed every time.

I'm afraid I don't want to subscibe to yet another forum (especially one that is so specific) so can't download from your forums (and that would eat your bandwidth anyway).. just a shame that uploaded.to and rapidshare are so user-unfriendly, especially from a mobile.
