903 webradio / wifi radio: proof of concept - Page 2

review · 02-19-2011, 05:12 AM

@ all who have trouble using wifi radio.
Please extract and copy the attached file on your ebook reader and execute it. It will create a text file on the internal memory called classic-debug.txt. Please upload this file. Thank you.

Sirius67 · 02-19-2011, 06:17 AM

I have just executed the debug file and then tried to start classic.app again, but unfortunately with the same result. After having connected to the Internet an hour clock appears, then disappears and that's it

@Sirius67
thank you for your feedback. Sorry that my last post was very brief. Let me explain the purpose of that attached file in more detail.

I do not know the course why the the radio is not working on your and others devices but on mine. So I need a way to get some internal error messages. So I wrote the app which I've attached in post 16. This app doesn't fix anything but will create an error message which is stored in the file classic-debug.txt on the internal memory. Please upload this file. Otherwise there is no way for me to know what is going on.
Thank you!

Hello Rewiev, first thank you for all pretty apps you've done.
I attach a file debug-classic.txt .
Looking into the file I saw that the classic.app search mplayer in system / bin folder,
I moved it there and the radio works.
Thanks so much for the work you do for us.
Sory my bad english.

classic-debug.txt

@nausica
thank you very much and sorry to all others. my mistake. Will update classic.app accordingly.

Sirius67 · 02-19-2011, 06:30 AM

Ah, sorry

Here it is.

review · 02-19-2011, 06:32 AM

Updated first post accordingly. Should work now. Sorry was my fault.

Sirius67 · 02-19-2011, 06:37 AM

Yes, it does, thanks

Just a question: could you also upload an app for other kind of music?

Henri2all · 02-19-2011, 10:07 AM

Guys your great!
What do I want more, reading the best books en listening to the best music on the net.
An nice interface and volume controle and chosing from different streams would make it perfect, but I can live with this one.
I have never expected this would be possible with an e-reader.

Mplayer might not be able to play all streams without additional codecs.

The good news however is that it is easy to get those third party codecs. They can be downloaded here:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/

Probably all-20110131.tar.bz2 is a good choice. This file is an compressed archive. I'm not sure how you extract it in windows. Probably winrar will do the job. On linux it should be pretty straight forward with most mainstream distributions.

So extract those files and copy them into this folder (if this folder is not present create it) on the internal memory:

system/mplayer/lib/codecs

If you want to add listen to your own streams and you can't figure out what the stream url is please feel free to post in this thread.
You also may have a look on sky.fm or shoutcast.com they have a good variety of stations.

Sirius67 · 02-19-2011, 12:20 PM

Wow Review, you're just great!!!! Thanx a million!

I will try them out immediately and let you know if they work.

Sirius67 · 02-19-2011, 12:36 PM

All three work perfectly fine!! I'm thrilled

Hi review, still cannot use wifi, but to get myself ready, if you could set up BBC radio 4:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_fourfm
and bbc radio 3
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_three
I will be forever grateful (and there are no geographical restrictions)

Henri2all · 02-19-2011, 12:59 PM

Review, you are the greatest.
While I am writing this I am listing already two hours to the radio.
Still there is no battery loss. And now i can chose already between several stations.
Please tell us how to make our own aps files so that we don't have to trouble you any
more.
