Thumbs up New Improved mediaPlayer v1.5: with Internet Radio and tons of enhancements

Please Login to Remove!

Our users have asked us for support for Streaming media directly from internet, Radio, ID3 tags support, quick find in playlist for easy navigation, Advanced speaker modes - hey guys, we have tried to accomodate all your requests in this version. Hope you will enjoy:

The links to the downloads:
OTA install: http://www.dollars5.com/OTA/mediaPlayer.jad
(If you have problems with above OTA, please try the following:
Visit: OTA Install Links
select to install mediaPlayer - continue with download - this should work. Let me know if any problem persists or try the below Desktop manager installation)


Files for desktop manager install:
ZIP: http://www.dollars5.com/downloads/bl...ediaPlayer.zip
COD: http://www.dollars5.com/downloads/bl...ediaPlayer.cod
ALX: http://www.dollars5.com/downloads/bl...ediaPlayer.alx

The following improvements are done:

1] Radio streaming - fully Blackberry friendly, with background playback. Can also play media located on web (example mp3 shared over http - no delay - plays instantly) - default two sample stations are added (a) Nation Radio - a streaming internet radio station, (b) Dollars5 sample audio - mp3 located on server streamed instantly unlike Blackberry player which downloads and plays.
2] ID3 tags in playlists
3] Crossfade between songs (beta implementation)
4] Quick find for searching in the playlist
5] Keyboard navigation in playlist (8800 and 8300 only - requires QWERTY keyboard)
6] Advanced speaker modes (requires 4.2.1 OS) - stream audio to phone speaker, handsfree speaker, headset, both (headset and handsfree) and bluetooth headset (no A2DP support in Blackberries atp)
7] UI enhancements for better selection
8] Optimizations for improved performance in background mode and while playing songs
9] Improved shuffle logic for media player
10] Better search logic for files search and UI indications
11] Minor bug fixes.

To test more Internet radio stations, we have compiled a list with contributions from our beta testers at Internet Radio stations for mediaPlayer/Radio If you get many stations to work - please help us build the list.

You can also try streaming podcasts - for example you can Stream the TwiT podcast from

http://aolradio.podcast.aol.com/twit/TWiT0102H.mp3

With your valuable feedback - we can get more improvements.

Screen shots for Radio:

Can you try the new version as listed above - feel free to test it as some of our beta tested were successful in using it with Curve.

That is the version that I tried. I went to the OTA install and that is the error that I received.

That error should be if the download is corrupt - can you also try the ZIP archive based desktop manager install?

BTW: i will also test the OTA install again

I get the same error message on my Pearl after a successful OTA download and install.

Quote:
Error starting mediaPlayer Module 'mediaPlayer-3' not found.
I also noticed that if I pull the battery, the icon no longer exists, and it disappears from the applications that can be removed.

I tested the OTA - things seem fine also got feedback from some of our customers and beta testers who were online reported that the OTA seemed fine - not sure why it fails for you. One other user who faced the same problem while installing on his Pearl reported he was able to install via Download Manager. Hope that will help you.

For BIS you need to have proper APN settings configured, please refer to http://www.blackberryforums.com/blac...ip-no-bes.html

We do plan to support the Sirius online streaming sooner but current version does not support.

We are to support winamp compatible pls streams that many stations like Di.fm without using the hack outlined at Dollars 5 Community :: View topic - Di.Fm stations tuning Hack for mediaPlayer/Radio

More online radio streams and a station browser to follow sooner.

Please let us know when you guys have the Sirius streaming enabled. I will definitely buy this app at that point.

I am testing now, I love the Bluetooth Headset feature, I have been using the work around using call from the browser and letting it sit between connecting and disconnecting state but this is much better. Also, volume control is less of an issue because I can adjust the volume on my BT headset.

I would buy this app but the only problem I have is the lack of support for large/long MP3/podcasts. I listen to a 5 hour (300 minute) MP3 everyday and I often want to fast forward and rewind but mediaPlayer does not handle fast forwarding and rewinding very well unless I am doing something wrong.

Dollar5, if you have any tips or need a beta tester for this I would be happy to help. I would also like to see the time show in hours and minutes as opposed to minutes but I could live with this if the fast forward and rewind worked better.

Agreed, Sirius streaming and better support for large files would make me eat my words from a previous thread I posted about not needing third party media app. I will even retract my statements and sing my praises if/when the Dollar5 product has these functions.
