Help Please

I've tried and tried , but I can only get this app to load up . The only Wav that Play is the T-Mobile Ringtone. All My Song is on the MC. CAN ANYONE HELP!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sschrupp:
Yep, it's shaping up to be a nice project but until it plays WMA its not something I can use so probably wouldn't be on my top 10 list of apps to donate to just yet.

But it seems to be coming along.

One suggestion I have is that you might want to list in your first post a "Coming Soon" type list. I know you have quite a few suggestions you'd like to implement, so it would be kind of cool to see what you have planned for the future.

Good luck with the progress!

don`t understand the album view - group logic

But this is not a proper solution :confused:

Why don`t you group by Album :eek:

Whats the idea of having an Album selection and then grouping by something else??

Maybe I don`t get it,...

If there is an empty "Album" Tag you can use the "Album Artist" instead :rolleyes:

But the first look should go of the "album" tag,...

GreeT`s Erich
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
It actually is, let me try to explain myself:

Only the name of the album is not enough to identify the album, there are plenty of albums that go around by the same name. Because of that, you would like to be able to 'split' those.

ID3v2 Tag's AlbumArtist is designed to do just that. I suggest you use it, why is everybody giving me a hard time about it? It takes like 2 minutes to adjust your library that it will parse with any ( not just iMulator ) player.

I intstalled iMulator and for some reason, all songs I have on my SD card does not load with iMulator. I still have all the songs when I launch the stock music app that comes with the HD2. I got 387 of my 653 songs on iMulator. Tried reloading it but again only get the 387. Can anyone please help me with this?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Are they mp3 files? If not they won't be added:X

gz reb3lzrr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] n44lj@roadrunner.com:
Yes, all my songs are mp3, I'll double check to make sure though...

Monte
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eriche:
how to do that?

Maybe we don`t have no clue how to do that:confused:

If it is that easy you may write 5 sentences how to automatically bring our MP3s in the order iMulator can handle it like it should,...

;)

Windows Media Player on my HD2 can handle the MP3s like I suppose.

When I choose "Albums" I get it group by :rolleyes:

Don`t know how they are doing this - even with my Tags :eek:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MartyLK:
One thing you might try, format the card you are using. I suggest copying all the data to your PC before you do, though. Then when you have formatted the card, copy it all back. I would suggest using the Windows formatting tool.

One question why wont it allow me to delete or edit a song name?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mase_Mase:
I can't thank you enough for putting together a really slick and awesome music player.

I have one question regarding performance. If I select a song to play from "All Artists" and also set the loop setting to "Shuffle", I have to manually select "Next >>|" after each song ends. It doesn't advance to the next song on it's own. Is this intentional? How do I select continuous play and also keep the playlist shuffled?

I'm running this on an T-Mobile USA version HD2 with the stock 2.13 ROM. The program is installed on to my device but all of my songs are on my SD card.

Thanks again!

Albums Art

Hello, iMulator is working perfectly on my HD2. However, not all the albums are able to update the album art. I tried re-updating the library (albums only & all), soft reset, and it's still the same even after a new flash.

Can some please advise?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Open wmp, and put it's shuffle settings to normal or smthing ;)

Whats ending bug?

iMulator picks its album art from the first song in it's album, make sure it has an embedded album art;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moorgogel:
with ending bug i mean when i close imulator it keep in memory

once there are Chinese words (no matter in what tag), they will be displayed in mojibake...

could you please fix this? I'd really love to use this app.

Besides, I'm wondering if this app is compatible with 6.5.3?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] INSPIRING DESIGNS:
First off i wanted to say that this player is great thanks. There are just a couple of bugs with mine.

1. a couple of the songs don't have an album and have the wrong names.

2. when i chose an album to play at the end of the song it stops playing and it wont go to the next song until i click next.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Filipeknot:
Giving feedback, very good software!

But i have some tips for you improve...

Speed:

Remove the splash screen with reb3lzrr! A music software need to run /start fast, as well as the original.

Donate:

Remove the message of donate!

Make a form in menu for "Donate" and "About"!

In the album area, they don't show how many musics have!

In the List of musics playing, the software only show total time of musics already PLAYED or PLAYING.

Sorry for English, i'm from Brazil!

If you need help to translate for Portugues Brasil (PT-BR), contact-me!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] INSPIRING DESIGNS:
Hey Reb3lzrr ,

great app i like it a lot better the s2p. just wondering if it is compatible with winmo 6.5.3 because i keep getting errors to quit. Lastly not to rush you but do you have a new beta your working on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mase_Mase:
Thanks for answering my question! Are you still working on this program?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Ey thanks for supporting iMulator!

To answer your question; yes it is compatible with 6.5.x, infact; I'm using 6.5.3 myself....

Unfortunatly I don't have a new version that i'm working on. This is because I'm currently working alot and I have an other project I'm working on, I can't release any details about this project because the person that 'hired' me doesn't want me too ;)

I was hired to make an iPhone game, unfortunatly I terminated that project today, I'll be back to developing iMulator :)

I'll start to re - write my 'framework', I'm hoping on better preformances + more options ;)

this could take a few days / weeks tho

gz reb3lzrr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bratboo:
Hi reb3lzrr,

This app is awesome! No lag at all and with good response but I got problem and I already read all the post but cannot find any answer.

When my phone go to sleep the song wont go to another after it finishes playing the song, it wont go to next song even with default settings. I also tried using a Lite ROM as I thought it was because I don't have enough memory to run it.

Any ways to run your app even on sleep mode?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rmdeathwish:
More than glad to have u back man... really really looking forward to a much more stable and better version of ur app..

Ill be getting my HD2 in the next 2 days. iMulator will be in the top list to-install programs.

Hope you can make this app better. and yes , i am more than willin g to make a donation when ur release of a better version comes out.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
I hope the new 'Framework' will turn out as good as I'm planning on. When I first started this project I wasn't 'efficient aware', but due to my requirements I was forced to find new ways of programming.

I will use this knowlage to build the new framework from the ground up. It's a pain in the arse cause it takes a long time, but I definatly think its worth it!

Gz reb3lzrr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Ey all, Ive been making quite some progress on the new framework, one new thing that will be included is a "TabBar" which is a copy of the component which is called the same on the iPhone.

Here is a little show off:

You will be able to edit this TabBar, you will be able to place your "Favorite" link in that bar;)

Alright folks,

After some struggeling on animations, I now proudly announce that I have the 'slide animation' (almost) like the iphone!

I'm talking about this animation:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttuWWwOntlk#t=1m30s

Due to system rewriting, the 'delay' you had when pressing songs will be reduced to the minimum.

Gz reb3lzrr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] seeM_ZA:
This is a brilliant project! I'll support you all the way (^^,) Keep it up bro.

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you, I'm not too bad at skinning..

I've been attempting to skin this app today and I'm a little confused. Why do you scale your images instead of just making them the correct size in the first place? e.g the TopBar_BG.jpg file is 45 pixels in height. But when applied to the program, it's scaled up to 80 pixels in height.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Hi all :)

I've been making a lot of progress on iMulator:) And I would like to show you the current progress :)

I'm planning on totally re-writing iMulator. This because I really need this application to work 100% perfect, this way I can fix bugs, make a better structure to the program, increase performance, add (missing) animations, redesign components to make it look even better like an iPhone. To make a long story short; give the user an even better experience at using the application. Their for the new version will enter the world as "iMulator 2.0"

Preformance

iMulator does an outstanding job at performance; a single screen refresh takes approximately 11.5 milliseconds on a 550MHz processor. Everything is drawn using the processor so Screen size/Processor capabilities are key factor here. Even though 100fps is reachable, I limited the frame rate to 40fps, which looks amazing to be honest!

Scroll bar

A scrollbar is now added to the ‘Navigator’ (this is the component that holds all the items; songs etc…). It is a static scroll bar, meaning that it does not respond to human input. It is only there to indicate where you are viewing the list. (Just like the iPhone)

Alphabetic bar

In the last public release, iMulator had an Alphabetic bar next to the Navigator. This looked more like a Sense interface than an iPhone’s. I’ve embedded a transparent Alphabetic bar which looks a lot better than its predecessor.

’Items’

The most noticeable about the ‘Items’ is that they now have lines between them. This is one small step further to emulate the iPhone. Besides that the items are now written in a better fashion. With my goal to increase performance, I’ve redesigned this system as well; loading an entire list of songs (1000+) should be done within a few milliseconds. However, at this point I’m unable to give you ‘real’ performance statistics since I’m currently only focusing on the framework.

TabBar

A lacking feature in the older iMulator was the TabBar, or actually the missing Tabbar. I now added that component aswell with the exact looks and feels of that of an iPhone.

Navigation Bar

The navigation bar is now better ‘inspired’ by the iPhone’s; the sizes / ratios are better. Besides that, sliding animations are added in two ways; a ‘simple’ slide animation(‘just’ from right to left and vice versa), and an animation that looks exactly like that of an iPhone. The last one runs at a respective 10fps (on my device that is), for people who want a smoother animation; they can switch to the ‘simple’ slide animation whenever they want to.

To see the adjustments here is a screen:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chelsea_fc:
why not remove the wm bottombar?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
I will add that as an option to the upcomming version, because my aspect ratio's are good, but VGA ( 320*240 ) will need more screen. Thanks for the feedback! gz reb3lzrr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] seeM_ZA:
Brilliant :) If I were you I wouldn't make graphics my top priority. As long as you make it skinnable, all is good, and then you can focus on the actual program itself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chelsea_fc:
glad there's an option to do that, i also use wvga, keep it up :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Iowa_State_Cyclone:
First, let me say love the app! Version 2.0 is looking nice...do you have any sort of timeframe of when a "alpha" of 2.0 will be available? I'd love to try it.

One thing I would like to see added is when you are adding songs to a playlist by touching and holding on the song (then the popup with "Add to playlist" and "Add to current playing" appears), would it be possible to highlight the song it's applying to? I think this would help as sometimes with a large list it's hard to tell which song you've actually highlighted and are adding to a playlist (especially as the list moves when you are trying to get that menu to appear sometimes).

And another "wish list" feature I think would be nice is the ability to use hardware arrow keys to move between songs (not really needed, but would be nice).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jarodt:
when I stop this amazing program, if I want to (re)open, sometimes I have this problem:

Yea i also face this error... i think it happens when you close the app by pressing the X button while the now playing screen ( album art) is displayed. ... i don't have this error if i close the app in the base screen ( main screen) and re open..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
can you add in 2.0 a key configuration?

and a view by filename and folders?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
'Key configuration' is not clear enough for me, how would you like to see this?

That would be possible, but alot of work. Why would you want this?

If enough people want the options you're suggesting I could surely implement it, for now I just don't see the point. Please post a reply if you're supporting this idea.

Its really good ....but going to pause when i turnoff screen. the inbuild player in HTC still works even after turning off screen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Iowa_State_Cyclone:
Feature Request

I just thought of another idea that would be very useful.

If you are playing a song and are using headphones, when you take the headphones out of the jack -> pause the playback.

This is extremely useful on a couple of other players I've tried as usually when you take the headphones out of the headphone jack, you are doing it in order to listen to something else. By pausing the playback, you no longer miss any of your song or podcast.

Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

Hi man,

very nice app... and smoothly working till now.

I'm gonna doing a donation... for supporting your good job.

I havent read every post yet, so I dont know If some1 has already asked u to add the Bluetooth headset support. Is it in your plans for future versions?

It'd be fantastic... and complete a good app we've been waiting for months.

Hello,

Indeed a *GREAT* User Friendly program.

It is amazing how the original MEdia Player is not so "finger friendly" from first place ...

Can you please assist me with the following open issues:

1. How can I turn off the screen and still let the music play?

2. I didn't find a way to Fast Forward / Backwards (required when I listen to eBooks)

3. How can I replace the FONT with another TT one which will allow me to see non-English native letters as well? (such as Ariel, etc.)

Thanks !

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leebickmtu:
Making the "Up One Level" button's text be "Back" would be better so that it's not just cut off.

Love the program though, looking forward to the next version.

Also, is there a way to put a album art picture in an album's folder and this program just use it for all files in that folder?

Hey bro, just found a bug..

When you tap and hold on main screen, it throws an exception. Hope it helps :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
It will change in the next version ;) Remember the next version will be a 100% copy of Apple's iPhone / iPod!

It will buffer the album arts already, it stores rescaled images in the images folder if I remember correctly ;)

The main differance with S2P is that the (comming) version is a 100% copy of the iPhone, plus I'm aiming on preformance... The current version is capable of running at 60FPS just be rendering on the CPU. The upcomming version will have graphical settings, this means that you can disable/enable cirtain effects that will effect performance.

Gz reb3lzrr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
As of now I don't have acces to a secondary device; therefor I decided to recruit beta testers for the unreleased versions.

Cirtain requirements apply on the beta testers, here is a complete list:

- Speak english or dutch fluently

- Use iMulator over 30 minutes a day.

So if you'd like to apply, send this form ( in a private message ) to me:

Name:

Age:

Country:

E-mail:

Device:

Screen resolution:

iMulator usage per day:

More information will be send to you once your accepted as a tester!

If this app support unicode, I do think it is much more helpful and less crash those non-ANSI Windows Mobile. As I tested, iMulator play songs in ANSI folder normally. But when it play songs in non-ANSI folder or name (such as Japanese, Korean or Tradtional Chinese Characters), iMulator crashed!

Sorry for my poor English.:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
For me:

WWE

\Program Files\iMulator\

It crashes on loading settings from the settings.ini file. Check that :)

could you zip a (non-ANSI)folder with a few files with (non-ANSI) tags... For debugging purposes.
