oke thanks for the report. Can u send me a pm? Ill send you a debug version soob and we can figure out why it wont work.. Tried to reinstall? Or restart the phone? Sometimes the streaming on wp7 is buggy, i have an omnia 7 as well and sometimes it has trouble to connect. Plus the service which im tapping into was updating its servers today so please keep trying n let me know.
well have flashed my omnia 7 cause had t-mobile germany branding. Have Pre-Update (7008) now and it does not work, too.
tried to restart and the same.
This app would be very usefull for me, if it works

just checked. Works flawless omnia 7 on tmobile holland. Maybe in germany some sites are blocked? Please send a pm and we will check a debug version. Can you stream other stuff? Which song are u trying? Do you get a cant get stream error? If you dont get this error there is a streaming issue with the device and not the app. If you get the cant get stream error, there could be a different issue.
Use on my HD7, it's look better than old but something doesn't work all all.
My Suggestion.
- Fast forward is not working.
- Can't search by using Artist name.
(with old release, I can search using artist name like "Benny Benassi" , "David Guetta")
- Should has a dedicate application volume control.
- Should has a connection status, sometime I little confuse after tapping my song and wait for a connection that I already have press to play or not.
Keep up the good work, Thank you.

Fastforward does work, just drag the progresslider.
I agree with your suggestions, ill implement a progressbar as soon as possible.
im experiencing some problems today. The guys where updating the servers so thats why search was working improperly. You can also use an astrix so search for david*guetta
FIXED FOR THE NEXT RELEASE:
- space becomes astrix in search. So better search results.
- playlist will be updated and saved in the isolated storage after deleting items
- some small incosistencies
UPDATED TO VERSION 2.0.0

Great! Thanks for sharing such great app
first of all: your app works perfectly
problem here is only: i only have nice speeds for streaming at home (wifi) or in some areas outside...
It still downloads every music file i play everytime i click on it...thought it works offline?
One thing: Is it possible to make the files save to a directory where zune music on the phone can access it, too?

Haha no downloading to the zune folder thats not possible, and very piracy.
Well it does exactly what you say, and it downloads and streams at the same time. If the downloading text goes away the file that was downloading is now stored in your isolated storage. Now you are able to click a different file and download that one, if you click on the previous song it ill start playing instantly.
The reason why I implemented it this way is because of performance and because there is no direct way to capture a streaming file. So it has to be done separately and at the same time most people want to preview or instantly play the song before downloading so that is why it will begin streaming and than downloads whatever song is streaming one by one.
Dont worry, I thought a lot about the implementation, this worked best for me its not the most logical way, but thats due to the lack of mediaelement API's and not b/c of me
All data should be downloaded before it can be saved, if the file is fully downloaded the downloading text will disappear. There is no other way to implement streaming and downloading at the same time... however I can add a separate progressbar which will indicate the percentage downloaded. I might do that for the next release
For me the most use of the program comes by being able to listen to a song you dont have on the phone but u want to listen to right now. So its not really about piracy (at least for me).
As some might have a dataplan an option with ([on] streaming | [off] downloading) and ([off] streaming] | [on] downloading) would be cool
Yes that could be possible...
However I doubt it's really a must.
I'm still thinking about a way to improve the downloading. Maybe some kind of tap and hold and than click download or something.
I will add a progressbar underneath the file that is downloading anyway I think so at least the user can see which song is downloading and the progress.
Hi Marvin,
This is a great app. Very nice and fast. A few things I would like to see.
1. Be able to create multiple play lists.
2. Be able to delete individual files from play List.
3. Be able to move a song up/down in the play list.
4. Be able to move files to different play lists.
5. Option to download later, like a queue.
Thanks
@ Marvin_s
Your Walkman7 v2.0.2 work fine with 3G too!

2. Is already possible. Same as in mailbox
3. I planned on doing this indeed, but its kind of annoying to implement since i could only do move current playing song up or down, bc if you select a song iylt will start playing.
5. Sounds good but can u explain what u mean? Like download only when tap and hold? This work method is kind of againt the app of having the entire playlist stored on the phone. And does this option disable streaming as well? Because if you stream why not download as well ur using data anyway. Or is the streaming too slow because its downloading as well?
Multiple playlists is a bit of a problem because it will download the songs and eats storagre fast. However i could do something that it will release all resources if the playlist is unloaded, the down effect is no more songs are stored when going back to a different playlist.
Again the suggestions are good however please come up with a way to implement or think about implementation, 30 songs is 90 mb which is isolated storage maximum, having 6 playlists of 5 songs in other words.... Kind of a problem
marvin hello!! i just d/loaded v2.0 in marketplace- 23.03- 00.30 cet!!

Since the app has hit the marketplace there is no need for the development thread anymore... so the development thread has been removed.
Please report any further suggestions here and provide feedback/rate or comment so I can keep improving the experience. Thanks a lot.

Old outdated info - but explains the next 4 pages of posts...!
Code:
Currently there is no official thread for XDATV feedback, so thought I would start one (not too worried if this gets used or if another one is started by the XDATV guys).
First off, I love the concept of XdaTv and I was looking forward to watching the videos as and when they are posted. However, the main issue I have is I am unable to view them on my phone (particularly while offline), this is the main opportunity I would have to watch them.
I would like to have a proper podcast style RSS Feed available, i.e. containing links to downloadable video files (mp4 or similar) which I can then play via the RSSTab as and when I have the time.
If people are interested, I am able to create a RSS Feed myself and host the files from something like Dropbox (Assuming Xda agree), obviously it'll be better if Xda are able to offer this directly.
Add your thoughts to this thread, or comments about XdaTv in general and vote in the poll.

I´m ok with Youtube format, never use podcasts
One of the best Forums.Thank you!
Good idea, guys. We're going to look into having a video podcast feed. We could probably get it on iTunes and Zune, too.

Well I've been experimenting with publishing RSSFeeds, so I've created an experimental one.
At the moment I've just got the 1st video up (in flv and mp4 format), I can test to see if this works on my device and perhaps provide some more until an Official Podcast is created. Will work out which format works best on my device and use that for the rest.
Of course, if there is an issue with posting the podcast then I shall remove it immediately, just let me know.
Feed REMOVED - USE THE OFFICIAL ONE
IMO having both youtube/podcast would yield a better return for more potential members vs just the podcast. Youtube is just a mishmash of crap, but its also where "everyone" goes to view videos. Therefore you'd get some stragglers as well as allowing others to embed on other sites to draw some attraction to XDA.
This is just one mans' opinion.

I am pretty sure there is a backend RSS feed accessible via some hidden URL... If I can figure it out, there would be an RSS link to subscribe your reader to

The RSS link above to the YouTube channel does this, but for proper podcast style feed (i.e. one which supports downloading of videos to the device for off-line viewing) you need links to the video files rather than the YouTube stream.
[It would be really handy if those links were available HINT HINT]
However, I do use the tags to find the XdaTv posts so I can insert a suitable description etc.
I think YouTube supported it or intended to (hence the "&format=17" which is supposed to related to mp4 format), but it does not work. There is even a site which formats the links to do this, but for whatever reason it doesn't work here.
For now I'll host the podcast feed, since it is the easiest way for me to view it while experimenting anyway. The issue I may have is if I over-run my bandwidth hosting the videos, but will deal with that if I need to.
Anyway, the unofficial podcast is up and running and I've already used it to view the two videos I've put on there (so I'll be adding some more tonight). I'll try to ensure the latest one is on there and slowly build up the list of the older ones.
UPDATE
I might have found a way around the hosting problem as I may have found a way to directly access the videos.

Its not easy for me to test (don't have YouTube access during the day) but I've set up a feed with some test links in so I should be able to check to see if it works tonight.
Not sure if my method is suitable (using KeepVid to get the links), you get the following kind-of links:
Code:
http://v11.lscache5.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?sparams=id,expire,ip,ipbits,itag,algorithm,burst,factor,oc:U0dYTlZUTl9FSkNNOF9OTlJB&fexp=906339&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=5&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&signature=0ADF1F4DADBA0E68A2CBA21D56BBB5E009468905.D329E84182EFBC9E03C18AE75F25B4FECD0CA571&expire=1299690000&key=yt1&ip=0.0.0.0&factor=1.25&id=652e189f57cfefec&title=azrienoch%20Weekly%20Recap%20-%204%20March%20-%20XDA%20TV%20[www.keepvid.com]
I don't know if the link has limits or will expire too quickly etc. but that's what I shall test. Don't really know anything about the formatting of the link, would be interesting to know though.
Not sure if there is a better way to do it, but clearly if I don't need to host the videos then it is a lot simpler.
(In fact, once I've tested it, I will post all the videos to date in one go!).
Any preference on mp4 or flv files???
The current podcast has an example of both - so please try and see which plays and looks best on your device.
The flv files are smaller, but mp4 is better quality (Note - I will be using the smallest option of both as this is for mobile devices).
i.e.
FLV 400x226
MP4 640x360
Date FLV MP4
4Mar 12Mb 25Mb
8Mar 23Mb 43Mb
1Mar 49Mb 30Mb (12min55sec)
4Feb 11Mb 20Mb (4min42sec)
The direct links do not work unfortunately. I guess it needs an open youtube session or something to work...
Any suggestions are welcome for linking/hosting these files...
Feed REMOVED - USE THE OFFICIAL ONE
OK, the podcast is live, running and working nicely.
Just watched two more and I am definitely a fan!
Excellent work guys, totally worth the effort to make a podcast for, I hope it helps spread the XdaTv goodness.
XDA Insider - Good start to the series, really great to see some of the faces behind the posts. I look forward to seeing more!
Android ROM Rundown - I don't have a proper android device but it is interesting to see what is being done to the roms which are out there and the features that are available and being developed.
azrienoch Weekly Recap - There is nothing I can say which can describe this one, it's just something you have to watch and then you are hooked. Love it!
Quality work here guys, keep it up!
Updated the podcast to include the latest videos.
Most recent:
azrienoch Weekly Recap – 18 March – XDA TV
I've dropped the flv files, since the mp4 files are working fine on my device (and no one has given an opinion, so I'll not upload new flv files).
Podcast is updated to "azrienoch Weekly Recap 8 April XDA TV".
Enjoy!
Updated for:
Sam’s XDA Daily Round Up – 12 April – XDA TV
Just found this, thanks for working on it! I'm just wondering where exactly you're at or how you maintain it, because I'm hearing that you convert and download them, then add them to the feed, am I correct? Even if there's not a way to download directly, there's got to be a way to automate the process. Let me know, I'm willing to help brainstorm ideas.

Yes, unfortunately I do it manually, hence the lag in posting them.
The main problem is the video files and I don't have direct you-tube access during the day (which is why podcasting them is my best option). It started as an experiment to play around with how Podcasts are generated, but I found it is the easiest way to keep up with XdaTV for me.
I use KeepVid.com to get the files, which generates a download url for me (but I think it generates a session id in order to download the files so I can't link directly unfortunately).
The extra problem is after I get the videos I have to upload them to a file share site which supports direct linking (no captchas) - currently using FileDen, which is ok at the moment, but it does have bandwidth limits.
Then I can add the info into the rss file,
Code:
<title>
<description>
<link> - Use the link to xda portal post
<enclosure url>
<pubDate>
I then push it through Google Feedburner, which adds a layer so you can keep a static address for the feed (and it also provides stats and re-links the videos).
Unfortunately, I think YouTube did have the ability to provide podcast feeds automatically at one point (it's documented in the feed api somewhere) but I think it's been removed for a while now (I expect since it by-passes the advert system it was not much use).
____________________________________________________
Now to automate this...
Considering the youtube feed has all the required info in (except the video!):
http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/xdadevelopers/videos.rss
It wouldn't take too much to adjust that feed to create a new podcast feed if the video links were available and in a consistent format from somewhere (either date or the youtube id perhaps "PvXb7B1ihQg.mp4"). That is something I can probably code up without too much trouble (the code I use for the RSSTab is doing similar things).
SO if the videos can be hosted somewhere, I can make a program to generate the rest of the podcast automatically, and perhaps upload it too. Otherwise, I'm going to find it difficult to keep up!
Anyway, XdaTV is so good, I am more than happy to spend the time and effort to get it podcasting and help spread the quality entertainment. No reason at all why the podcast couldn't be added to iTunes etc once it is up and running correctly (will have to find out what is required to do that though).
If we were to render in a small format as well as in a large one for YouTube and then send the small one to you when we upload the other, that'd help. Not sure what the space limitations are for the host you're using, but we might be able to convince the admins to host on xda and that'd solve that problem.
What resolution and size are the videos youre hosting now?

Hey everyone
Just wanted to post a reference link to my Mizuu Movies application thread, which is found under the Android Apps / Games section: Mizuu Movies - XDA thread
The application has been developed for Honeycomb on the Acer Iconia A500, and should support all Honeycomb tablets. There's a free and a paid version of the application - would really appreciate it if you'd try it out!
FREE VERSION • PAID VERSION
Thanks a lot!

Yes, since Android doesn't support .avi files natively, I have not yet made it possible to use those files. But when I do, they will only be playable if you're using a custom video player as your default player.
This looks great! I've been waiting for an app like this, until now I've just been using a file manager app to pull up my movies. I definitely prefer this XBMC-like interface. I'll give the app a whirl when I get off work.
One request though, which would keep my from purchasing. I'd prefer the option to play the videos through an external video player. I know a lot of users already have their preference of video player (Rock player, mobo player, etc), but this could be a great interface to that. Most of my videos are divx or not natively supported by honeycomb, so this app wouldn't work for me as is. This would also let you focus more on the interface/theming and less on the codec support.
Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm sure this app will only improve, looking through your other thread in the developers forum it looks like you're very quick on the updates. I'll reply with more specific criticisms after I try it tonight.

Hey, thanks for your comments!
The app already uses your default video player, so if you've set a third party player as your default player, that's what it'll use
Great work!
First let me say thanks for this beautifull work, we need these kind of applications.
Well, I have tried the free version in the market, it shows the screen with the boton to scan, as soon as I click it, the application dieds
If you need something from me to reproduce the error, please let me know, I will gladly cooperate in this project

I've playing around a little, all is great, except when in the screen with movie information, when I click in the Identify button, it crashes again
Other thing I noticed is that there is one avi file which was detected and the begining, but after activating the support for other file types, it dissapear...
Great work! I will be using it

Seems I didn't test it properly, as I'm experiencing the same error. I'll get a look at it right now!
Cheers!
I've just uploaded a fix - awfully sorry about that!
Please refer to v. 1.3.1
I've downloaded 1.3.0, the full version. I start it up and click "lets roll!"... then seemingly nothing happens for 10 seconds, then it says no movies found. I definitely have movies in my /Movies/ folder, playable by rock player. Im on a 3g Xoom 3.1 connected to Verizon 3g.

Hey!
First of all - please update to v.1.3.1
Secondly, is it possible that none of your files are in one of these formats?
".3gp", ".3gpp", ".mp4", ".ts", ".webm"
These are the formats that are supported by Android by default - if you want more formats, you'll have to enable it in the application settings, which isn't available untill you've completed the initial search.
If you can, please try renaming one of your 100+ MB files to one of the above mentioned extensions temporarily. Then search with Mizuu Movies, enter the Settings and check "Include non-supported file types". Once that's done, you can change the extension back to whatever it was before and do an update in Mizuu Movies
Fixed!

First of all, hello to everybody. I have just joined xdaDevelopers.
To business now..
I recently bought my first Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 520). One of the reasons for getting it was for developing my own WP8 apps.
I would like to start with a music player app - one that can play mp3 files from phone memory and SD card; arrange songs according to name, albums and artists; create playlists; have capabilties of fast foward and rewind (seeking); and recognise album arts.
What do I need to know before I can start building it?
I have zero experience in app development; I am a web designer.
I noticed that there are very few "polished" music players (which function properly as well as have a nice UI) in the WP store. Any particular reason for that (other than the platform being relatively new)?
I created this post mainly because the lack of quality music players appeared a bit strange to me. I have heard that a particular file type can be accessed by only one app (please correct me if I am wrong). So does it mean that one has to somehow uninstall the default music player in order to use the newly downloaded one?
For instance, I have "Adobe Reader" which can read PDFs from my MicroSD card. But the "PDF Reader" app (which I installed just yesterday) cannot even find them! So I had to uninstall the latter.
So I wanted to know if there was something about WP8 that doesn't allow such things - if these "security measures", which render apps like file managers less useful, are also responsible for the lack of music players in this otherwise very fantastic platform.
Please note that I come from Android, and am very new to Windows Phone platform. So kindly point out if there's something incorrect about my assumptions.
Thanks and regards.
Hi,
Welcome to Windows Phone. The Lumia 520 is a great choice in my humble opinion. In regards to why there are so few music apps, there are probably several reasons. One such is the fact, that the easiest way to make one is to integrate with the built-in music features, which however limits you in several ways, like not being able to add more file types, not being able to customize the experience too much, playlisting is limit as far as I know, which basically puts you in the position, that the only actual improvement you can do upon that is implementing a new streaming service. The other route is to implement your own music player, but then you're going to have issues making it work in the background (not to mention, that implementing a music player isn't entirely simple).

1. Make sure you have hardware for it. I recommend a minimum of Windows 8 Pro 64bit, but you can find instructions for Windows 7 on this forum as well. You'll need VT-x support on your CPU, plenty of RAM.
2. Download and install the WP8 SDK.
3. Once you open Visual Studio, you can start by creating a new project, you'll need a UI project (I recommend Windows Phone App or HTML5 App templates) and a music playback project (WP Audio Playback Agent -OR- WP Audio Streaming Agent).
4. For tutorials on how to get started I usually go to Pluralsight.com, because I have a subscription there, and they're plain awesome, but I'm sure there are a bunch of other sources as well, which are for free.

If you have both Adobe Reader and PDF Reader installed, once you tap on a PDF file (say after downloading one in IE) an option should appear for you to select which app you wanna open it with.

You can install and use as many audio/music apps you like, but obviously only one can have the background music feature used at one time. (You can only have one music playing in the background).
Also:
"Developers must pay an annual subscription fee of $99, (this, according to Todd Brix, the General Manager for Windows Phone Apps and Store team, is currently on an ongoing promotion at $19) to become an App Hub member and submit apps to the Windows Phone Store. There's no limit on the number of free submissions for paid apps. There's a limit of 100 free submissions for free apps; thereafter, there's a fee of $19.99 per submission for free apps." - Wikipedia
Hope I helped, and happy coding!
:fingers-crossed:
@TheGoldrocker: Thank you for your reply. It did clear up quite a few things.
As of now, I am okay with "integrating with the built-in music features" as you said.
What I want to do is modify the UI and UX a bit. Some of the features can be as follows -
1. Introducing a scroll bar;
2. Option to get rid of the grouping system by name;
3. Control over the font size;
4. Allowing the currently playing song to continue if I select the song (currently it starts playing from the beginning);
5. Enabling the seeking feature (tapping the timeline of the song so as to play from that point of time);
6. Having a tile feature in the start screen with options to pause, change song, etc (number of options would depend upon the length of the song);
7. Showing the album art of the currently playing song in the tile;
8. Having an animated background in the app (just a wide photo which slowly slides from left to right).
Am I allowed to do the above?
You're welcome.
"Integrating with the built-in music features" doesn't mean you get to rewrite the UI/functionality of the current Music+Videos app. What it means is, you get to use the built-in classes for simplifying music playback in your new app. You'll still have to build up a new UI around your classes, you'll also have to write quite a few lines of code for the playback functionality (but obviously way less than if you tried to write your own music player from scratch).
Now sadly I cannot answer all of your questions with absolute certainty, because I haven't tried writing a music player yet, but I'll give them a shot.
I numbered your list:

1. Yes, since you'll have to make a new UI from scratch, and you'll have the ability to include any logic behind it you want.
2. Yes, the grouping can be avoided AFAIK.
3. Same as 1.
4. Same as 1.
5. Don't think so. Someone else with more knowledge will have to answer this to be sure, though.
6. If you mean a tile on the start screen, which, when tapped will play/stop/next/prev/whatever and STAY on the start screen? No. Tiles (sadly) always open a program (even if for only a millisecond). You can use this for deeplinking to favorite songs/playlists/streaming services though, which is cool.
7. Same as 1.
8. Same as 1.

By "deeplinking", do you mean pinning songs to the start screen by 'long pressing' on them?
I do hope that Microsoft introduces interactive tiles in some future update. Sort of start screen widgets.
gdebojyoti said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Deeplinking is launching an app with a link toward a specific page with parameters. Imagine it as a URL to a specific page on a website. If your app and pages support it, you could tap on a tile (say on the start screen), which opens your app, and instantly navigates to a playlist, album, song, whatever you made that tile link to.
Pinning items to the start screen can be triggered by anything you want. You, the coder, decides how you're gonna allow the user to pin their songs/albums/playlists/artists/whatever.
Here's a little tutorial on this topic:

Okay, thanks. I'll have a look at that.
To make a media player for windows phone is to know insanity.
Why we no join forces?
There are a couple fo things the guys here forgot to tell you:
You can not read Mp3 files from SD card.
You can not read mp3 files from the user music folder.
You only have access to web resources or your app's isolated storage.
You basically have to engineer a way to get them to the app storage.

Well, that's why I will try to "integrate with the built-in music features". Hopefully it will be okay then.
I am not trying to make the next best thing in the music player app category.
I am just trying to make one which has a slightly different UI and is able to play mp3s.
Sort of a project of mine.
By the way, can someone please tell me if I can use technologies like HTML5 to create this app? Actually I don't know C#.
Or should I learn C# before attempting this app?

There are too many limitations to explain. You will see.

Okay.
Edit: The $0.99 sale is now over. Thanks to anyone who purchased it!
Hey all. I've been working on my music player like over the last 7 months and have finally finished the next major update. To celebrate I am also putting it on sale for $0.99 through March 2nd.
I started GMMP back in the gingerbread days so the UI and a lot of the code was out of date so I spent a good chunk of time switching over to fragments and refactoring the codebase. I ended up making the decision to drop support for below 2.3 (I was supporting back to 1.6 and it was a huge pain). The feature list is massive so I wont list them all here. The play store link has an almost full list of all the capabilities.

Its not a feature i ever use so I just have the stock headphones that came with my s3. But its probably better to find a headset with more than just the single button because I'm fairly certain Google Now ends up stealing priority over any long press of the single button (the feature was written ages ago before google now so there are no issues on devices without google now). If the headset had 3 buttons (play/pause, next, prev), the double click long press to next/previous should not get intercepted

yeah I figured as much for google now so I deleted it. Might be a good idea to add that info in a popup when trying to change the setting. Solves some frustration for the unsavy\unknowing lol.
the next is double click. it doesnt do anything indeed. The thriple click longpress also doesnt on stock lg g2 headphones (triple button, volume up, next\pause and volume down).
Considering the value added functionality, maybe you can ask users to give feedback and add a compatability chart of headsets with which this functionality works. You would be the first Not sure if I saw a message saying changing that may or may not work.
Must be good headphones with the s3.
I have the lg g2, the sound is way better with your app on aosp roms lol then appolo. without changing any settings. Which is freaking awesome!
thanks for the app and the sale.

I try to notify the user as best i can for different incompatibilities but there are just so many (and many hard to predict which devices have it). The audio compatibility was originally put in years ago due to 1.6-2.2 devices not all containing the correct libraries to support some features. GMMP development started right when gingerbread came out so it supported back to 1.6. Almost all devices 2.3+ have the required libraries so the chart should show yes for basically everything
double / triple click definitely should work (there are a lot of users who depend on this and would cause a fit if I had broken it with an update). From testing experience if you click too fast the headset only sends a single click message to the phone.. so try clicking a little slower (i wanna say you have about 500 ms after the first click to click a second time for it to register as a double click)
the name gonemad was my online alias/handle for the last 15 years and i tended to use it when naming personal projects. GMMP just happened to be the only one i ever made public. There definitely was no naming conflicts / trademark issues with it and doing a google search on it doesnt really bring up too many unrelated results.. so i just went with it
cool. thanks! That explains Gonemad, cool name then.
I tried slower in different gradations, I will need to try better.
Love the customizations and it works straight out the box.
Might be nice to make it the default app for music. I also tried on stock, but all including bluetooth starting music triggers stock app. Havent figured it out yet.

thats the stock app stealing focus.. assuming you still have the GMMP music service running, it registers as the sole receiver of media intents (bluetooth commands). LG most likely overrides that to send commands to their player first. You might have to disable/freeze the stock player to allow GMMP to receive the commands

GMMP has basically all of the features of poweramp plus a few others (smart playlists being the big one) and tons more customization (although poweramp does have gmmp beat when it comes to widget customization)
Playback Settings
Hi,
I changed from Power AMP to GMP. Thanks for your work.
I have got one question for the following scenario:
For Example : I am playing the last song of the album "1" of artist "A". After finishing it I want the player to automatically start playing album "2" of Artist "A". After playing the last song of the last album of artist "A" I want the player automatically start playing album "1" of artist "B" and so on.
I do not want to creat a playlist or something similar.
Is this possible and if how? I searched but can not find.
Thanks for the answer.
I use the GoneMAD music player (GMMP)....
If I enable splitscreen on my Joying PX5 FYT Android 8.0 with GMMP and Sygic or navigon, only the focused app is refreshing his display output. hope you understand?
is sygic active, so the GoneMAD Player is frozen.... is the player active, so the sygic display is frozen... is this a GMMP fault?
A big thank you to all those who voted for GMote! Now that the competition is over and I'm not limited by time, I can properly start developing GMote. Expect some big updates in the upcoming weeks
What's GMote you ask? To put it simply, it's way to use any Android smartphone as a media remote for your GPad (Android to Android).
Meaning you can sit back, relax, connect your GPad to your TV and control media playback from the comfort of your couch.
The sourcecode for both apps will be released in the coming days.
Playstore Links
GMote
GPlayer
Description
GMote is not a standalone application, there's actually 2 of them (confusing I know). Anyway, ones for your phone and the other is the companion app for your GPad. A video player for the tablet which will support a wide range of formats. Going on, a remote for the phone with which you could Play, Pause, Volume Control, Scrubbing.
Also, this isn't just a onetime gimmick, it's something that comes in handy when you have a movie on your GPad and you want to watch it on a big screen with your friends and you don't want to turn on your laptop just to transfer it to a USB. I tried to be punny. So if you're a media lover, someone who love to watch movies (emoticon) and tv shows, this project might just be for you.
Interface
With the control app for the Android smartphone, I plan to make to boutiful. You know, eye candy. With the new Material Design and shiny effects *_*. Screenshots have been added, click on the screenshot tab above, note that the design is far from complete.

F.A.Q
Q. How to use GMote?
Firstly you must install QPair from the PlayStore. Next install the Phone apk on your Android phone and the Tablet apk on your LG GPad 8.3. Then either pick a video or enter a link and control the playback from your phone.
Q. How does it work?
This project uses the latest LG QPair SDK, if you'd like to know more about it, click here.
Q. Why is GMote not working for me?
Try updating to the newest versions of both GMote on your phone and GPlayer on your tablet. If you have done so already and its still not working, tag me in a post in this thread and I'll be sure to help you out.
Q. Why is it crashing all the time?
There are 2 possible explanations. Firstly your device simply isn't supported, leave details about the crash in the thread and I'll get back to you. Secondly, it could crash because you installed GMote and installed QPair later. To fix this, uninstall GMote and install it again. This is due to bug where the permission for using QPair isn't registered if the QPair app is installed later on.
More coming...
After long, never ending hours of work. The first stable release is up! A lot had been changed (namely, the layout) and lots of cool / useful features have been added., take a look at the Changelog in second post. Also, for those of you who do try this out, please be sure to leave some feedback.
App links for the PlayStore and the SmartWorld will be up in a few hours!
Also, in this competition from 20-27th of December, you can vote for your favorite app. So if you like GMote, don't forget to vote!
Thank you!
Congrats you're a winner too. To improve your app, I'd suggest combining both of them into one package and run the appropriate tasks depending if you notice it's a phone or a tablet

That's quite a find. I didn't check the play store when picking a name but no, they're not the same.

It's all good. I'm sure your app is pretty awesome, I imagine that's why you were picked to be a winner. I just figured with all the publicity you'll be getting now, the name just won't work since there is another app that goes by the same name which has been around since the Gingerbread days if not earlier.

Thanks a bunch for pointing that out, I probably wouldn't have figured it out. I'll try to come up with a better name.
