Native SoundKloud

Either one sounds fine, a release would be cool. I do think that being able to login with their account would be cool, but that would require implementing all of the social stuff...

[twobob]

yeah.

I am no python head.

A full release of the horror-story code (meh, sue me) would at least allow others to further the work.

[twobob]

Todays work. replaced all the headachey python module install details with a shell script.

[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/soundkloud/prep.sh

Cleaning up...

EDIT: Updated version will try to check for non-standard installs...

(this is on a 5 with a non standard installed python but a missing pythonenv for example)
[root@kindle soundkloud]# ./prep.sh

Internet Connection tests as okay... Continuing
Non-Standard Python install maybe?... Searching /mnt/us/* (gimme a sec...)
python located, run AND greater than version 2.7: 1
Sorry it didn't work out... For more info on WHICH PYTHON TO RUN see http://bit.ly/soundkloud

okay so let see what would happen if we "fixed it"

Spoiler:

(NOTE: the pythonenv files EXPECTS to be in a directory named python to minimise false postives, and in the /mnt/us/* hierarchy)

So where are we gonna do this test?
[root@kindle python]# pwd

/mnt/us/usr/share/python

[root@kindle python]# cat > ./pythonenv << EOF

> export PYTHONPATH=/mnt/us/usr/lib/python2.7
> EOF

Now it works okay... Even with a non-standard location. ( fails on zero size files)

To hide library complaints one could....
[root@kindle soundkloud]# ./prep.sh 2> /dev/null

prep.sh

this makes a one shot installer a far closer reality.

Also fixed up the build scripts to be much shorter and simpler to read.

reworked the build so that the armv6l and the arm7l targets are chosen at run-time. Thus one release suits all..

more stuff i should note down but yeah progress.

@qlob, @twobob -

Can I get http://www.shoutcast.com/ on this application?

Note their page banner.
If yes, change the splash screen and sell them a copy for Kindles.
Somebody really needs to be paying for all of this "Kindle community service" work.

I played shoutcast streams on my K3 within a week or so of getting my first kindle. Just pipe wget into aplay or something like that. No GUI though. It keeps playing when it goes into screensaver mode too, as long as the USB cable is plugged into the host PC for the internet feed.

For most people, a GUI like this would be a big help though. That nasty command line can be scary and dangerous.

This looks to be the Docs for their API:

http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcas...otocol_Details

I'll take a look at it, but no promises

EDIT: no wait, nevermind, their API requires permissions from them to access http://www.shoutcast.com/partner_request_form

[knc1]

"Require Listen Auth" says: "not required"
But would be better to ask them about it first.

[twobob]

So. We have the launcher for this now.

We have all the code.

All we need now if for the music to stop 403ing and this could launch.

but until then... meh.

Annoying really.

Perhaps another API would be the way to go... will look into it RSN then.

but ostensibly this is complete.
