MPlayer for Kindle 4 Touch
Hello,
I was bored I can't use my Kindle 4 Touch to her to my favourite Online Radio Stations. So I made a menu for yifanlu's GUI Launcher for Kindle Touch to control MPlayer from this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=119851 You need of course a Jailbreak and installed yifanlu's GUI Launcher for Kindle Touch. Just download, extract and copy the folder "mplayer" to your Kindle's "extensions" folder. (Like: ""x:\extensions\mplayer\menu.json") You can use the GUI Launcher to control MPlayer: - play playlist (edit the "playlist" file with notepad to edit streaming URLs) - play all music in "/music" folder - shuffle play all music in "/music" folder - pause, stop, prev, next, mute, volume up, volume down Next I want to figure out: - how to make a better menu - how to access MPlayer settings faster (in case of too loud music) - how to display current played song at the display. Question: is it possible to get a home button double click event? EDIT: -Volume setting in "VOLUME" does not get read at next start (music always starts at 100% volume so I had to set "-af volume=-15" EDIT2: Where is my attachment gone? -ReAdded mfg Novo Last edited by Novo; 02-25-2012 at 08:15 PM. |

Hey,
for now, I can send a status text to the display with: eips x y "$MPlayerTitle" there was a landscape hack with javascript in mp3: Is it possible to do something similar, like a own menu to control mplayer / volume? Because menu -> Launcher -> MPlayer -> volume is so a long way ... Any ideas? |

Still working on this thing.
ToDo: - Show Status text (on title change) with eips x y "text" - Get song status from mplayer in command line (any ideas?) - MPlayer starts everytime on 100% volume (bug?) (any ideas?) |

Does your "edit the playlist file" mean users can select specific MP3 files from a menu display of all the MP3 files? I have a large number of MP3 files audio books. The current Kindle Touch MP3 player only allows sequential play of the audio books, and I have to scroll thru a lot of files to get to the audio book that I want. I can not view all my MP3 files from the KT, and have to USB connect to the PC to view from the PC. Also, when I exit and return to the MP3 player, it starts back to the original first MP3 file, and not the last played MP3 file to pick up where I left off. If you can add these 2 functions, that would be a great time saver. Thanks. |

This compilation has disabled radio functionality of mplayer. It would be good to recompile it again with radio feature added.
try playing for example: Code:
mplayer -radio channels=104.4-Sibir,103.9-Maximum |

I installed this and I really love the idea. But I was wondering it anyone has tried the shuffle functionality of this? Every time I try to shuffle my mp3s, my kindle will freeze up and I have to reboot. Has anyone else experienced this?
I've noticed that it doesn't freeze up when I'm navigating the home screen/ebook folders or using the browser, but only when I open a book and try to read. Last edited by wildfire070; 05-13-2012 at 10:44 PM. |

So, which FM radio module do you plan to solder into your kindle to USE that function after recompiling it?

I am trying to compile mpg123. Can you share the configure options you used? I managed to compile libasound and mpg123 successfully, buy mpg123 does not produce any sound. Thanks!

I don't know how to run strace on the application. Can it be run locally on the computer I used to compile mpg123 or do I need to install something on the Kindle? I tried to use gdb but I don't know where to start looking.
Thanks for your help! |
