Yes, please. That would be probably the first ebook reader with wifi radio capabilities | 31 | 72.09% | |
No, I think it would drain the battery too much and I wouldn't really use it. | 12 | 27.91% | |

@paola
Yes, exactly. That's right. Some streams are playlists and mplayer appears to fail to recognize it without that option. I'm not entirely sure what the cause is that this particular stream doesn't work. I have two hypotheses: a) a problem with the inofficial SDK / the compiling options I used to do the cross compilation b) a problem with the codecs If it's (a) it might be solved with the official SDK. I'm at the moment quite sure that I haven't done anything wrong with the cross compilation (I ran out of ideas what could cause it). Although I'm still in the process of compiling mplayer an emulator environment. That is really sloooow. A compilation process which usually takes 5-10 minutes is now running already since about 8 hours. The good news is that I don't have to do anything just be patient. So that will run in the background now a little longer (another program needs to be compiled as well so I won't expect anything in the next days This should sort out if the cause is (a) or (b). So what is the codec thing? You remember that you couldn't play my video regarding the note taking? That's a classic codec problem. The codec is, if you like a definition how the video/audio information is stored on the computer. If you don't have the right codec you won't be able to play any video / audio. Now, I've posted were you can get the codecs from. However, it might be possible that those codecs depend on the CPU (processor) and the processor of a computer and the ebook are very different (which you certainly can well understand as no windows programs would run on the ebook). So I'm not sure but it might be that those binary codecs might not be compatible with an ebook processor. Currently I wait until the compilation in the emulator is complete. Then we'll know for sure if it's a or b. |

uses AAC codecs (which I see are also installed on some e-readers)? |

Hallo review,
I am still enjoying your radio on my e-rader. I have a question. Maybe it is a stupid question, but maybe you can give me an answer. The Pocketbook e-reader works with a kind of linux, right? Android on my mobile phone is also a kind of linux, right? Is there a way to make Android apps work on the e-reader? Something like an emulator? Probably a lot will not work, but some may. |

Installed the app (added several radios) and it's working well. Thank you Review!
Just a quick question. You mentioned you added volume control. Is it included in the file available in your first post? Karma for you! |

Thanks
Hi Review,
thanks for your great work. Installed mplayer like you told us and it works great. Added a new german radiostation (SWR3), works fine..... I stumbled across this thread while i was searching for a possibility to play whole folders with mp3 files. I hate the built in player.... he only plays selected files. Not really useful for audio-books...... I tried to do this with mplayer and your installation, but i didn't manage to get it to work. I'm a Windows user and have no idea about the linux file system. Think i will open up another thread and ask the community.... Again, thanks for your great work. |

Hi Hasenrupfer,
many thanks for your post. Will try it today or tomorrow. I would also like to play audiobooks on the Pocketbook 903... Maybe there is somebody here who can help... Last edited by Sirius67; 07-25-2011 at 02:28 AM. |

Any progress review ? its been quite a while, if you abandoned the project it would be nice if you could please post the more up to date version you mentioned and the source code so perhaps someone else could pick it up.

another Link to a radio Station Deutschlandfunk
Hello and thanks,
mplayer and software functions on a pB622 Touch. This is a link to a radiostation in germany, called Deutschlandfunk. Copy, Open a new file, paste and save as deutschlandfunk.app Put it in applications. Der MPlayer und die Radio-Software funktioniert auch auf einem Pocketbook 622 Touch. Dies ist ein Link zum eutschlandfunk. Kopieren, eine neue (Text-)Datei anlegen, Einfügen und als z.B. deutschlandfunk.app speichern. Im PB im ordner applications speichern, während mplayer wie auf Seite 1 beschrieben im Ordner system/mplayer/bin gespeichert ist. Ich habe mir die wifi-off.app von https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=1346191 ebenfalls in die applications gelegt. Das ist ein komplettes Abschalten nicht nur des mplayers sondern auch des energiehungrigen wifis schnell möglich, hne in Einstellungen gehen zu müssen. But now the deutschlandfunk.app: #!/bin/sh /ebrmain/bin/netagent connect /mnt/ext1/system/mplayer/bin/mplayer -ao oss:/dev/sound/dsp http://st02.dlf.de/dlf/02/128/mp3/stream.mp3 >/dev/null & ---- für Deutschlandradio müsste es dann lauten: #!/bin/sh /ebrmain/bin/netagent connect /mnt/ext1/system/mplayer/bin/mplayer -ao oss:/dev/sound/dsp http://st01.dlf.de/dlf/01/128/mp3/stream.mp3 >/dev/null & ------- Good luck! |
