My playlist.ini file basically looks likes this:

url

But only the first URL plays and the others do not play even if I press ^MN (next). I don't really know whether my problem is my command or if my playlist is formatted wrong. Any attempts to help would be much appreciated. THanks

I have modified control.sh script and mplayer.ini config file to control volume, using 5way "joystick" which I have on Kindle Keyboard.
Ofcourse, if you have another version all you need to do is change keyboard mappings.

Add this to mplayer.ini in launchpad's folder (/mnt/us/launchpad):

# volume
M FW_Up = !/mnt/us/mplayer/control.sh volup
M FW_Down = !/mnt/us/mplayer/control.sh voldn
M M = !/mnt/us/mplayer/control.sh mute

Modified control.sh is in the attachment - rename from control.sh.txt to control.sh and replace in /mnt/us/mplayer on your Kindle.

Works nice for me, albeit a bit clumbersome with UP and DOWN, but I felt it was the logical way and didn't want to mess with regular keys if they are used by something else.

That's nice. Do you think it would be possible to do this with Kinamp as well, as I prefer that (and its Mplayer) over just Mplayer?

Well, I cannot really tell if your Launchpad shortcuts would work when all you have in your ini are several 'url's. Regardless, this is the format you should make them (although, I use Kinamp, so IDK how they would be via just MPlayer (maybe replace kinamp with mplayer):

[Actions]
K = !cd /mnt/us/music ; ../system/kinamp -loop 0 */*
K S = !cd /mnt/us/music ; ../system/kinamp -shuffle -loop 0 */*
K K = !cd /mnt/us/music ; ../system/kinamp -loop 0 *
K K S = !cd /mnt/us/music ; ../system/kinamp -shuffle -loop 0 *
K P = !cd /mnt/us/music ; ../system/kinamp -shuffle -loop 0 -playlist /mnt/us/launchpad/kinamp_streams_playlist.txt

; play streaming radio - http://www.sky.fm/salsa/ - Latin Salsa
K P A = !cd /mnt/us/music ; ../system/kinamp http://listen.sky.fm/public3/salsa.pls -quiet -framedrop -vo aa:reverse:contrast=50 -vf rotate=1 -monitoraspect 0.7  2>/dev/null
; play streaming radio - http://www.sky.fm/the80s/ - 80s Pop Rock Decades
K P B = !cd /mnt/us/music ; ../system/kinamp http://listen.sky.fm/public3/the80s.pls -quiet -framedrop -vo aa:reverse:contrast=50 -vf rotate=1 -monitoraspect 0.7  2>/dev/null
; play streaming radio - http://www.181.fm - Classic Hits  60's 70's

So just replace the urls I have above with yours and then change kinamp to mplayer (if you are using just mplayer), and it should work.

I guess it is about putting them into a Launchpad shortcut in the same way that I did for the 50+ I mentioned above, and see if they will play.

Alternatively, if they can play in Mplayer, they should be able to play on the Kindle. So, if you happen to be using a Linux OS, you can try them out using the command in a terminal window.

Having some problem running this (Jailbroken, Launchpad installed and ran some of its default scripts (shift shit shift, got a screen shot, etc), v. 3.3, k3g)

Installed mplayer from the files in this thread and now there is an mplayer directory on my Kindle.

1st) Forgive me ignorance: but are you supposed to hit, for instance, shift M A or just M A? Either way, nothings playing for me. EDIT: Yes, I have mp3 files in the music directory.

2nd) No mplayer.ini was created in my Launchpad directory. I imagine this is the problem, but I am not sure why this did not occur.

When I installed Launchpad (throught eh kindle update process), I only installed lpad-pkg-001c.zip, but not launchpad.tar.gz (as I wasn't sure how to install it).

Thoughts on what I need to do?

PS

Thanks for this program, seems great, its the main reason I started this process in the first place!

re: 1st) For any and all Launchpad shortcuts, you must first press "Shift".

re: 2nd) If you are missing a mplayer.ini (or any .ini file that has the commands you need) then this would be the problem.

To install Launchpad hack, all you needed to do was to install the .bin file as you would other hacks. Just be sure to have installed Jailbreak hack first; otherwise it wouldn't work. I believe the tar.gz file you are talking about is the source code. If that is the case, it is of no importance to you.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I am pretty sure I properly jailbroke the phone, as I wouldn't have been able to install and use any launchpad commands if I had not, correct? Is there some other way to test this?

Installing the .bin files could not have been easier (strike this sentence if I messed something up), and after installing I had the mplayer directory.

I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling and see what happens then.

The obvious way to ensure the Jailbreak hack worked is if you were able to install the Launchpad hack. If the Jailbreak one had failed, the Launchpad hack would not have installed successfully. And additionally, if some Launchpad commands do work after Launchpad was installed, then its not Launchpad/Jailbreak that is the problem.

Oh, and after those two hacks were installed, and you put on the mplayer folder and ini that came with it, don't forget to either Shift Shift Space or restart the Kindle, to refresh things.

Yes, it works when you issue command via SSH. It would be nicer if we can get virtual keyboard act as physical keyboard. Take a look at this thread too.

I have the problem that music or stream is playing at the highest volume setting.
your compiled mplayer does not know "-volume=$VOL" to start the file at a specified volume level from the beginning.
