kinamp (v2) audio player for kindle

[sjheiss]

Thanks a lot, I love it! Only one problem though - I press Alt+H and the program doesn't close. I can pause and go to different files and all the other hotkeys, but if I try Alt+H nothing happens. Is this a bug, or what?

If it doesn't work, how else can I stop Kinamp? Is there a shortcut I could use with Launchpad or something?

fbdev removed the Alt-h shortcut after the first version. To stop kinamp you just need to launch it again--doesn't matter what options you launch it with if it's already running (it will ignore them and just shutdown).

Hi,

I am using kinamp with K3MusicManager. Most of the time it works but not all the time.

Somehow kinamp seems to crash with some playlists before even starting to play a file. (ps -A never shows kinamp after launching) When I launch mplayer directly with the playlist, it works fine.

Any idea why this is happening? Also, is the code for this app available? I could then try look into the problem myself?

Many thanks!

running:
the simplest way to run the program is:
kinamp file file1 file2 file3 ....

keep in mind that the executable will want the /mnt/us/ prefix for files in the userspace file system.

Can someone explain installation a little further please? I've copied the folder 'Kinamp' which includes 'kinamp' and mplayer' to system, but not sure how to 'assign shortcut'?

Once I've done that what's the hotkey to launch kinamp please? I don't really understand 'kinamp file file1 file2 file3 ....'?

Main reason I'm trying to install this is that while mplayer is excellent, I'm hoping to find a player that will allow me to choose a folder/individual songs to play instead of playing everything from the first song in the music folder as is the case with mplayer.

hmm yeah.

I am working on this laterally.

it would be nice to push track titles down to mplayer.
and to populate a list, possibly inside a kindlet? with tracks in a folder.

and then to click a button... and mplayer do the playing...

I have an incredibly basic gui for the Soundkloud app (just a couple of buttons) that sends URLS for mp3's to mplayer.

It's not a huge stretch to think that could parse a tracklist (makes some buttons) and send a FILE:// ref instead

I have been hunting around for source here http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=119851 and eventually found a few bits around the building of mplayer and some useful source from a Kindle Touch implementation...

Luckily we had qlob on hand to tame the python stuff

The point is the info is actually out there. I'm just some guy, sticking all this together, not some genius coder. I will take your points into consideration. should the project ever get that far. For the record I found KinAmp to be flaky. Hope it works good for you : )

(mplayer is no better on the 3)

Hi, fbdev, I found kinamp cannot handle the URL if its address length exceeds ca. 70 characters. Below are extracted radio stations from my kinamp.ini under launchpad folder, which I've marked the URL length with streaming result OK/NG:

## 01. BR-Klassik - URL length 51 - OK
C A = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://gffstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream/gffstream_w13a
## 02. WDR 3 - URL length 87 - NG
C B = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://wdr-3.akacast.akamaistream.ne...ream.net/wdr-3
## 03. VRT Klara - URL length 40 - OK
C C = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://mp3.streampower.be/klara-high.mp3
## 04. Klassik Radio - URL length 76 - NG
C D = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://edge.live.mp3.mdn.newmedia.na...livestream.mp3
## 05. CLASSICAL 102 - URL length 32 - OK
C E = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://tuner.classical102.com:80
## 06. MDR Klassik - URL length 93 - NG
C F = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://c22033-l.i.core.cdn.streamfar...ive_de_128.mp3
## 07. MDR Figaro - URL length 92 - NG
C G = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://c22033-l.i.core.cdn.streamfar...ive_de_128.mp3
## 08. MDR Figaro - Classic in Concert - URL length 89 - NG
C H = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://c22033-l.i.core.cdn.streamfar...lassic_128.mp3
## 09. NDR Kultur - URL length 63 - OK
C I = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://ndrstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream...rkultur_hi_mp3
## 10. RBB Kulturradio - URL length 54 - OK
C J = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://rbb.ic.llnwd.net/stream/rbb_kulturradio_mp3_m_a
## 11. SR2 Kulturradio - URL length 55 - OK
C K = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://gffstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream/gffstream_mp3_w58a
## 12. SWR2 - URL length 106 - NG
C L = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://swr-mp3-m-swr2.akacast.akamai...swr-mp3-m-swr2
## 13. 181.FM - Classical Guitar - URL length 25 - OK
C M = !/mnt/us/system/kinamp http://relay.181.fm:8020/

The station URLs with NG status actually can be played with VLC player correctly. Can you please have a look on this issue and try to fix it? Thanks!
