It would be really GREAT to see a new/moderm GUI!

The skin shown at the bestwindowsmobileapps.com review under "a simple skin." looks so much better, the present GUI looks like we're back in the 90ties. But the program is really awesome! It doesn't go together, such a rubbish skin but such an awesome program. It just became one of my favorite programs for WM, only this skin is RUBBISH! I'm sure that it will gain massive popularity with a good looking/better functioning GUI.

Enough about that subject!

I'll test it a bit more to see if really a lot of songs are not working, I've just found your great program. If it's a big program I'll post the debug log.

Thanks for sharing, it's really an awesome program! :D :eek:

I'm trying to make a desaturated skin, the same as the original, but only cleaned up a bit.

How can I remove the big S and the big P in the background? Or change the colour of the big S/P?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
You cannot remove the big S/P. It indicates where you are. I may change it to another color if I see your skin and it looks fine :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Guus_:
Thanks for the quick reply and the suggestion scilor!

I always know where I am, because the searchbar is shown at the Search-screen. And when I am at the playlist, all the songs have the X at the end.

Without the P/S and the shark: the text much more clear to read. The things in the background are distracting.

Can you please make the big P & S 100% white/#ffffff. I would really appriciate it! When the skin is finished, I'll upload it of course :) Thanks!

Caching

Hi guys, if you can't wait for caching, use SciLor's GrooveDownloaderWM. I put it on my Storage Card in the base music directory which I name My Music. I attached my XML config which sets up the downloader to put songs in the directory structore that S2P uses (ie: /Storage Card/My Music/Artist Name/Album Name/Track# - Song Name.mp3). It works beautifully! You then don't have to download the songs every time you want to hear them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
BTW:

today i have published a GTX icon for the amazing scilor's grooveshark application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
They are looking good, except the shark is pixelated :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi scilor,

yes i know. I have nothing found and the ask copy from the button is very pixelated. Do you have the original one? Otherwise i have to do the job again. But then build a complete new one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Here it is :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi scilor,

i hope this one is better for the app ;).

1- the old one

2- the new one
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Wonderful :)

Hi SciLor, I cant find a thread for groove downloader wm so ill just post it here. Do you think you can add a preview song feature to groove downloader? I realize it kinda cuts into groovemobile's functionality but when I search for a song to download and 20 results come up there is no way of knowing which one is the exact version I want or the highest quality.

Also the swiping to change tabs, in my opinion, is more in the way then helpful, on the first tab at least. Since the tabs have buttons right on the bottom it is not really needed and my problem is this, when I try to highlight the entire field of text it is most natural to highlight from right to left since there is more space to start from on the right. Doing that, instead of highlighting all of the text, jumps the tab to the next one. Anyway I guess that is pretty trivial but that is just my experience.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
hey Scilor, I hope your summer is going good. I havent heard you say much about the app in a while how is the progress coming along so far?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kcomeforo:
I've been using this for a few days, and it's a really great app!

Today I started having an issue where at least 50% of the time I get "Failed to start song". It requests a stream key, the stream, and says "Playing" before going to "Failed to start song". If I pick another song or two I can get it to work so it doesn't seem to be my data connection.

I've used the app for about 10 hours in the last few days and only encountered "Failed to start song" a couple of times. This morning it's pretty much every other song.

Maybe it's the Grooveshark service, I don't know. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Nothing done yet :( busy

Try to soft-reset your device and stop any unneeded process. This error occurs when you are low on continuous ram and big songs(size, you will see it in the debug log).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kcomeforo:
Thanks for your reply. It seems like the second I posted, the problems stopped. >.> In any case, I'll check the debug log if it starts happening again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kcomeforo:
Is there anything I can do to "defrag" my memory? Right now I'm sitting at 123MB of free memory but can't open songs that are more than 8-9MB in size. I tried resetting my phone and I could open more songs then, but after an hour or two it started getting bad again and it would fail every two or three songs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I would use a task manager like Wk-Task to close any unneeded program. Songs that size I never got playing. If I find time I need to create a fix, that will you allow to play those songs, but will block fast forward in songs. Just when the error would occur
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
if you can do any kind of update that would be a very greatful one indeed! :)

Error message

Hi Scilor,

I tried to install groovemobile on my Ipaq 4150 with WM2003 after I installed CF3.5.

When I run the program, I get this error message:

"An unexpected error has occurred in SciLor's GrooveMobile.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

File or assembly name 'Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35', or one of its dependencies, was not found. "

Do you know a solution to this error?

Thanks in advance!

You are using a too old OS (WM2003). I know why it is not working, I may write a stub dll when I have time!

How do I install .net 3.5 to my X1? Any ideas?

Sorry for this noob question but I do not know :-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
First of all you are writing in the GrooveMobile thread ;) Just install the .net cf 3.5 on your computer and connect your phone to it to install the .net cf 3.5 there.

You may also try to delete SciLor's GrooveDownloaderWM completely and redownload and reinstall it again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WMisiedjan:
This is what happened today:

Groove Shark Developers had updated the client Twice,

Current Revision At this moment is: 20100412.84

Also, There is now a header item called privacy.

That contains a 1 or a 0. (True or False)

You need to add this to the ConnectGrooveSharkHeader, Also to the normal header.

I can successfully connect to Groove Shark now, But they change the TOKEN thing, And i'm not a THAT good coder that i can figure that out by my self.

So if someone can help me, I would appropriate that :D

Greetings, Me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
They didn't changed the token, everything works fine currently?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] galtom:
Works for me :-)!

Little suggestion though.

Option to download playlist... there is a space for login, password... but no way to confirm it so... I was not sure what to do, press to actually download.

OK button would be helpfull. I did download playlist but I am not sure how.

And swaping between playlists is not very user friendly... beside that works great!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you for your feedback :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WMisiedjan:
@scilor:

Oh, I'm using one of your DLL (I Think) sources that I downloaded somewhere, Only can't find out where.

And Its using this way to create tokens:

internal string GetRequestToken(string method)
{
string randomHexStr = this.GetRandomHexStr();
string str4 = HashHelper.GetSHA1Hash(method + ":" + this.GroovesharkClient.CommunicationToken + this.GroovesharkClient.staticRandomizer + randomHexStr);
return (randomHexStr + str4);
}
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I never released any source, this may be the source of a dll from"Grooveshark Mobile".

If you need any .net grooveshark api dll for

private ONLY

usage you may use my dlls shipped with SciLor's GrooveDownloaderWM or SciLor's Grooveshark(tm).com Downloader to play around with it.

Scilor, you have an HD2 right? You gotta try Android. I would love for you to develop a Downloader for Android.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
Hi have you found a way around the big song problem, and a way to cache? I wish Grooveshark would use aac for phone files like slacker does and if you use wi fi for regular files like we get now. That way the big file problem wont happen :P

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Guus_:
Great update! I hope that the crashes are finally fixed :D Thanks for sharing SciLor.

But we still need good skin support, the look of this program is absolutely rubbish. It's an great app but I'm not using it because my whole device is greatly skinned, only this program takes the looks back to the old PocketPC times.

I would love to see some good simple skin, like in NanoGroove. Or like the example-skin from bestwindowsmobileapps.com:

http://www.bestwindowsmobileapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/SciLor-GrooveMobile-007.png

Without that shark/P/S and everything at the back of the text. :rolleyes:

It's just such an awesome made program, and it's really usefull, but I'm now using NanoGroove only because of the rubbish looks of your program. :( Only in terms of functionality GrooveMobile beats NanoGroove in every way...

But still: Thanks again! I'm looking forward to the future releases.

Hi I am very excited about this release but I keep on getting a error about installing. I know a long time ago around mabie V3 or 4 you said go in program files and delete something. I can't find that response could that what I need to do now? I tried both cab and zip
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
if you use the zip you cannot get an error while installing, because you install nothing.

What happens?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
ok I go into my storage card where I saved it. I go into zip then click on groovemobile.exe Than it says your unknown publisher then I get this. I took a pic with my camera so you can see message. I am using windows mobile 6.1

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
You must confirm that "unknown publisher" with yes. if you press no or wiat to long it will block my dll!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
ok I solved the problem. I had 13 installed. Then went to install the zip without expanding it. Then I realized I forgot too. So I expanded it to a folder went in playlist and it worked without installing? Then I tryed without expanding after trying several other ways to fix it. So in the end I uninstalled 13 killed all program files from device, storage and card. Then I reinstalled and it worked 14 worked. But what baffles me is how on the card and on storage it does work without installing it after expanding it. But in end it is installed and works. As for the uknown thing you said, I always say yes. That error was after it. Thanks for looking :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:

What happens?

Thank you so much for this awesome app... Again WinMo beats the iPhone :D http://mobile.grooveshark.com/phones/iphone

I made a skin using the HTC style (e.g. audio manager). However, the background image (with the fish on it) does not cover the whole area on my QVGA screen about 60% horizontally. II'll share my skin tomorrow, but you can only use it on QVGA because I purposedly made the icons pixelated to avoid weird resizing.

groove shark app for mac osx

Hi Scilor. I have a little background in Mac OS X development. I was wondering how come there isn't a grooveshark desktop app for Mac and now when I see this I think it can be done. Could you share source so I could work on an OSX app. It'd be free ofcourse. Purely a hobby project. Should I pm you for any queries.

I too was wondering where the source was available.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I am sorry to say, that there will be any source available for this application due to the source is not based by me, and of cause I put much work into it(Especially the grooveshark API).

All you can do is to use the dll from my SciLor's GrooveDownloader(Working on WM and Windows) to create your own PRIVATE ONLY Downloader/Player.
