All we hear is radio gaga radio gogo...

What differs functionally wise between n9 and n900 versions?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

While waiting for that, i think we would live very well with the possibility to add a custom command to play the selected stream:

mplayer "http://shoutcast.rtl.it:3020/listen.pls"

or:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"http://shoutcast.rtl.it:3020/listen.pls"

This would also solve any "codec not supported" issue and allow an easy customization and fix for all the supported platforms.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I'm not familiar with the internal differences of the players, but I have noticed that mplayer has issues with buffering that result in its abandoning a stream & going silent when taxed. I must use kmplayer, which must differ somehow, when reliability for not going silent is essential.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Existing favourites will be lost, but you can add them back via TuneIn. Once you add the stations to the database, you'll be able to browse them offline. The benefit is that you might only need 100 stations in the database, which will result in better performance than having 30,000 stations, where 29,900 are never even used. There is also a better chance that the stations will be up to date when you add them, and you can always update them using TuneIn if they ever stop working.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

There are no significant differences. Just some UI details.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I can do that. :) cuteTube already has that feature.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Here's what the Harmattan version currently looks like, with station logos and a toolbutton in place of the 'Now playing' banner:

You can set the buffer size for mplayer with the 'cache' parameter, e.g

This should help with any buffering issues. I don't know if KMPlayer changes the default buffer size when it uses the mplayer backend.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Very exciting :D
i wish i was compotent enough to help :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Update (download .deb from repos, to sd, ham), does not save favorites or recent played.

Always shows empty (even after reboot).

Greetings.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

where does the search on main view? doesn't search on database neither on tune in

Great update (Harmattan)! A few issues, though:
-For me every time I update, i have to restart my phone or the app is practically unusable. "Application not responding" every tine i click anything. I don't have this issue with any other apps.
-When adding a podcast through tune in, the "adding" screen goes on forever. However, if you press cancel, everything was added just fine.
-Using the media player instead of the cuteradio player doesn't work. I get a connection error every time. Same stations play fine when using cuteradio player.

Thanks for your continued support!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Updated to v 0.2.0 on my N9 today........and nothing worked anymore.
all favourite stations were gone.

Couldn't browse stations by genre, country or languages anymore, always got empty screen.
recently played stations were not shown.

then updated to 0.2.1 and I am totally confused,
options for genre, country and lang are gone, no favorites?

when I search station by country in tuneIn I get letters from A-Z, when you don't know the exact station name you're lost.
how to save stations?

re-installed v0.1.2 again, works fine

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

@marxian
I'm testing your new version 0.2.1 and things are going better.
Browse categories and tunein search seem to be more clear.

To speed up searches, i would suggest you to cache locally in a separated folder, for example .logos_cache, all station's png since every png has the same id of tunein radio stations and it's unique.
Then, maybe add an option to enable/disable the alphabetic selection inside every category. (now is really boring..)

Artist and album info now always report "unknow" (maybe that in 0.1.0 it was working? - not sure)

I have found an interesting page about tunein api:
http://dementsov.com/2011/07/08/anal...adio-stations/

In this page there are also a pair of json file with a collection of radio stations extracted from there.

ONE IMPORTANT request:
Using:

curl http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?...4197&filter=l1

you can extract original radio's url. Could you store also this into the db as secondary url when saving a station?

When/if the domain radiotime.com and tunein will become unavailable, 404 or what else, we will be able to swap primary and secondary url without lose our preferred stations!

Testing goes on, now i'm using cuteradio every morning! ;)
Great application! Thanks!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Update 0.2.1, still not save favorite or recent played.

Greetings.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

chmod -R 777 /home/user/cuteRadio

Post installer script fixes db write permission but not folder owner/permission.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Problem solve, thanks.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

New version 0.2.2 is online on openrepos, but no change log yet...

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I don't see any need to cache data. The local database is there to store stations that you use regularly, thus reducing the need to search online. Also, as soon as you cache data locally, you have two problems instead of one. How often have you read the advice 'just delete the cache, and it will work again'?

It's not really feasible to do this, due to how the browsing works in the API. I agree that it sucks, but that's how it is.

I did switch from Phonon to QMediaPlayer, so that is probably the cause. I thought metadata was working correctly after manually setting the Icy-MetaData request header.

I came across that page when looking at TuneIn myself. I don't really want to be doing any heavy processing of data. I'd rather keep it simple and ensure that the data retreived is up to date. That is, after all, the purpose of having TuneIn integration.

I have considered this before, and will probably implement it (not using curl, though ;)).

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

May we (well, i) ask why all traces of cuteRadio have been removed from your website? i see the sources are still available on GitHub... :confused:

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I have been contacted by lawyers acting on behalf of TuneIn. As a result, I am ceasing distribution of cuteRadio until I decide how to proceed.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Im Sorry to hear that. It was such an aswsome tool.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Oh, man - i'm really sorry about that :(
i hope it gets resolved favourably/amicably.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

i have mentioned there may be a request for an uninstallation of v0.2.1 on the two forums where i have shared cuteRadio (via link to your website only).

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Just logged in to thank u for this app. Enabled me to listen to a lot of stations on tune in radio. Now I use my N900 as a multimedia centre at work

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Marxian: If you decide to revisit CuteRadio, when adding a new station it appears that in Add Station, the Source field will allow input only of http://, and so mms:// stations cannot be added.

Example:
mms://103.14.3.137:80/concert-mbr?MSWMExt=.asf

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I will change the input validators when I work on the next update. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

marxian: Hi, are there some news about the situation with TuneIn? :confused:

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

First, congratulations on the program.

My problem is different, I can later add manually, but LOGO radio is not showing up.

I tried with the image file in two formats: JPG and PNG

I copied them to the folder:
/home/user/cuteRadio/.logos/teste.png

within the application and the way I tell it this way:
File:///homehome/user/cuteRadio/.logos/teste.png

But LOGO not appear. Where am I going wrong?

Thank you!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I tried so

file:///home/user/cuteRadio/.logos/teste.png

and it does not work.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

cuteradio v.0.3.0 update just landing, after upgrade it always asking about cuteradio account. how to get it.?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Simply enter a username and password and submit. An account will automatically be created if the username is not already taken. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Sorry about the late reply. :o

I'm not actually sure why it wasn't working (probably some problem with the logo downloader when using local files), but all data is now stored on a remote server in version 0.3.0.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Installation of the new version apparently blew out all my previously saved Favourites, & does not seem to retain anything in Recently Played Stations.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

hmm..it doesn't work with me. when i click "done" nothing happen.
no progress indicator or something. simply frezze :confused:
