Database Develop

*sigh*Its me again...looking for more apps.

My friend downloaded a program for his G1 called Tunewiki. I was wondering if there was a similar program for our windows mobile devices.

What is it? Is it like Music ID that comes installed from ATT?

No. Its a music player that automatically searches for and displays lyrics. It also gives options to see music videos for the song you are playing on youtube plus other neat features.
Update: Found a nice music player that downloads lyrics called MiniLyrics, but nothing as in depth an tunewiki. Maybe one day the devs behind tunewiki may port it to WM...only time will tell.

Im pretty sure there must be something like this among those 20-30 thousand apps for WM.
I remember using some player that displayed lyrics (if attached) while playing mp3, and it had option to find lyrics on some website. I can't tell you details because it was so many years ago when I was using VOQ smartphone, but what I mean is: keep searching

Good point, tunewiki is no longer available for new users. They complain that there are too many users for what they can support. I'm looking at the minilyrics now.

Well, I sent an email to the guys over at TuneWiki, and according to them, they have ports for WM and Blackberry in the works. Its pre-alpha though so it might be awhile. Oh well, at least they are planning to bring this wonderful app to WM!

Cant use G1 for mp3 Audiobooks?

Hi.
I have recently aquired an audiobook, and as there is already the option to listen to MP3 on the G1 I was sure there would be no problem at all.
However after moving the book to the SD card and listening to a few chapters, I took a break, and when i wanted to resume the listening i saw to my surprise that i could only "fast forward" 2 minutes and 54 Seconds on the built in player.
The other option was to click on >> but that would move to the next MP3 file.
I tried to download several other players from the Market, however all of them can only forward 2 minutes and 54 second.... soo my question is, is Audiobooks and other long MP3 files a lost case on the G1 ??
I would really hate to go buy an mp3 player for a problem which should be so simple.
Hope anyone has a hint to what i might be doing wrong.
Best regards

Get SnoggDoggler, create a virtual feed for your audio book, and it will remember where you've left-off last time. Plus it allows you to fast-forward more than 2 minutes.

I tried the program you mentioned. Unfortunately the same problem exist in that one. It cannot handle MP3's with the length of Audio Books.
It keeps saying unknown length and it can only fast forward a few minutes depending on which of the files it reads.
Im getting really tired of this G1 problem :-(

Just tried with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" 5:01, was able to forward to the end.
Same for "Happy Ending" by mika, 10:21 because it has some "hidden track" on the end, was able to forward to the end.
Dunno what's wrong with your application lol, what rom are you using?

Same. Opened Weezer - Only in Dreams (7:59) and was able to arbitrarily seek to any location in the track. Good luck!
Edit: The epic crescendo on this song never gets old.

Podcast catcher

for the love of gawd, anyone, suggest a podcatcher that works!!!
glisten is trash, so is mediafly, should i pay for dogcatcher?
any other options? as someone said somewhere "why can't anyone get podcasts right on android?!"

if you find one, let me know. Listen is the best I've found right now but it's still pretty lousy. Mediafly used to be absolutely flawless, but that's been months and now it's just terrible. I've resorted to downloading them in Mediafly and then playing them in in a different program.

I havent found a good one either, the one I listen to you have to login, and it seems none support that.

It depends on what you want and how you want it to work. Some people prefer streaming. Others want it cached for listening later on. Some want to enter their favorite podcasts and be done with it. Others want a good database of podcasts with search facility.
I only listen to podcasts on my 3.5hr commute to work each Sunday afternoon, as I work out of state for most of the week. I listen to the same podcasts every week. For me, "Carcast" is ideal. It doesn't search for podcasts, only downloading what you set it up with. It also allows me to manually download my podcasts every Sunday morning for listening on the road.
I like the search that "listen" uses, but don't care for its integration with google reader. I like my newsfeeds to be separate from podcasts because I treat both differently.
If you just want streaming and a neat interface, try "Stitcher." It doesn't do what I want since it's streaming-only, but it looks good.
So yeah, it depends on how you listen to podcasts. I haven't found a single podcast client that could please everybody yet.

that's swell, i don't care about searching either and no way i'm giving them access to my google account, i know my podcasts and i just want a timely download and steady streaming with downloading along (like glisten)
i want it to remember where i stopped last time i listened and be able to control what stays in the list and what doesn't (unlike mediafly)
that's it!

oh and proper playback in the background, please

CarCast sounds like it would work for you, though its interface isn't as great as the others.

The really sad thing about Mediafly is that it USED to be sheer perfection. I could listen to a podcast, either downloaded or streamed, it would pick right back up right where I left off every single time no problem and it would keep my downloaded podcasts as long as I needed them. Then suddenly one day they changed something and it won't remember its spot and it deletes podcasts that I haven't even listened to even though I've told it to keep them all until I manually delete them. I think I'm going to dig around in some of my old APKs and see if I can find one of the first versions of it...

My advice is to just use a desktop podcatcher that will sync. Songbird is a good one, and Double Twist now does it. That way it'll look like a regular music file and you can just use any old music player app on the phone.

dPod
Use to go for beyond, was great, paid for, and now ... it sucks. Not capable to synchronize properly with reader anymore.
Just found a new option that look good, work well, is not perfect but free. dPod.
Give it a go, it's not bad at all

DoggCatcher supports authentication and is generally the best one out there in my opinion. I've used it since pretty much day one and it just keeps getting better and better. The dev is also very responsive and implements everything you ask as long as it's reasonable.

wanted to let you guys know that after last two back-to-back updates mediafly has been working quite good, i.e. it doesnt die when you switch to another app, episodes are pushed almost as soon as they become available and it even sometimes (rarely) remembers where your playback stopped last time, oh and i kinda dig their logo ...

Mediafly was updated today...looks like they might have fixed the resume problems...fingers crossed.
Release date: Friday, 2 April 2010
* Improved error handling on playback, including adding 'ding' messages.
* Resume playback now works
* Pausing with wired/bluetooth controls updates UI
* Streaming/playing video no longer creates entry in Download Manager
* Fewer Activity Not Responding messages on loading channels

I apologize for digging up this old(ish) thread, but I recently spent several days trying out as many different podcast apps as I could and wanted to share my findings. As background, probably 95% of my audio listening is to podcasts in my car, and maybe an occasional CD or Pandora stream. I have around a dozen that I listen to every week and a couple of these are daily shows. I have tried to use Mediafly in the past, since I paid for it, but found it increasingly more aggravating, even after the most recent update.
So here's my findings:
Useless: MyPod, Mediafly, Listen and Carcast
Potential: PodKast, BeyondPod and ACast
and the winner by a huge margin: DoggCatcher
It pretty much does everything I need. I knew after just using it for a day that I was not going to get a refund for it, even though it's most expensive app I've bought to date. The interface is a bit "busy" but once you get the hang of it, it really does make listening to multiple feeds very simple and worry-free. The only real downsides that I've found are that I don't think it streams over 3G (although it will over wifi), but that's not a huge deal, since it autosyncs without any kind of interaction on my part just fine and it's not cheap, but the dev seems to keep of top of things.

Ive tried just about all of the apps and I prefer beyondpod.

hi can someone send me the us version of podkast ?
i can't find it here in switzerland on the market.
[email protected]

guys, i'm back to glisten. it works almost flawlesly. couple hickups with app shutting down on loss of network but besides that all is good. and it's google, you know you can't say no.

I have DoggCatcher and I love it. It works better than anything I've tried and I never had any problems with any of my feeds not downloading. 5 Stars.

[Q] Save Me from an iPad 2 - Anything like iMovie for the Xoom?

Per the subject line, I need to be able to start working on videos using my photos to put together stories. SO I need to be able to import my photos, show how long they should show before transitioning to the next one, and support a music track and an audio (voiceover) track. I have looked at what is available online, but the only thing that even sort of works on Android is Jaycut, and I'll be darned if I can figure out a way to get it to do two audio tracks.
Anything (!) out there, or do I need to accept that I have a use case that requires iOs rather than Android?

There is movie studio.

Umm... have you actually tried using that program? Not only is there 0 documentation (the Google web page for it literally just lists that it comes with Honeycomb), but it does not seem to support any of the items I need.
Of course if you've figured out how to make it work, PLEASE tell

I have used it moderately. And to be honest from what I can see, it can probably get by to your needs. But would need some work. Honestly if you really need all that, and know the ipad can do it, get the ipad.

[APP][5.0+] Youtube Player for Android Auto - Pre app fieldwork

Hi guys.
As I have mentioned it before I have started working on a YouTube Player for Android Auto, but since I'm not a big youtuber myself I will like to get some input from you guys on how this should app work.
My thought till now are:
1) When you are outside Android Auto, you will need to open the app, give permission to access your content and sync your playlists to the app.
2) When in Android Auto, the media player will contain entries for each PlayList and all the items of a playlist will be listed as subitems. This part will work as any other media app.
3) Video playback, this will be on the fifth tab, same menu structure, but it will also display video, of course only when the car is stopped, other than that video playback will be disabled.
4) Provide search for individual songs.
- Is there any other way you usually use Youtube beside created playlists, if yes please tell me so I can understand what should I build.
Sync before use - Why is it needed?
- To be able to use the YouTube API which gives me access to your playlist and content I need to create a developer API. The API is limited to 1.000.000 trade units per day, every query has it's own unit value (not necessarily 1) so if I don't sync the playlist and use a fetch as needed approach, I will risk to run out of trade units when the user base grows bigger.
Any comments suggestions are welcomed.

Hello, I am very interested in this application.
It would be very useful if you could choose the quality of the video.
I want buy it

Hi,
Why a YouTube player, and not any other type of player? Several opensource players with local support exists. Why not use some of these as a base?

Local players do exist for audio, and it's easy to create an app for AA for them, but YouTube is more problematic, and yeah it's a bit against youtube policy because you shouldn't have sound without video, so officially that app will never be created (maybe with youtube red).
However this project did not receive too much attention so it's on a backburner at the moment, probably till end of November.

Ahh, Ok! You think in audio only YouTube player.
I hope someone will start to develop a Xposed module that "rewrites" the MainActivity of any selected App and add AA support on-the-fly! This will be more similar to MirrorLink (not supported in a lot of devices).
Regards.

Audio only + video when the car is parked/not moving.

Video Player app for Android Auto, maybe based to VLC that is open source would be very useful and i'll buy it surely

Why isn't there any more attention for this?
Listen to Youtube playlists and watching video while parking would be a killer feature for AA.

Excellent App idea ?

Would love this app

Great !

Here's my attempt to make YouTube work on Android auto.
www.thekirankumar.com/blog/2017/12/29/play-youtube-video-android-auto-app
It's an apk you download and install on phone and it allowd use of YouTube mobile site on Android auto. Enjoy !

Hi all here,
I am the author of what's called an unofficial Android Auto SDK, a piece of software
which allows creating custom Android Auto apps.
Because the poster of the previous message used this SDK, I believe it's
important that I quote my statement about video-in-motion AA apps from
the thread linked above also here. Please read below.

Dear all,
it is a good moment to say my final word specifically about the kind of apps
which allow playing videos on the head unit.
I think these don't need much comment:
It's ok to have a movie together on a great trip in middle of nowhere, when stopped.
It's not ok to watch a movie while driving. It doesn't need any comment.
It's totally ok for the passenger to watch a movie on his/her own device.
It's not ok for a passenger to watch a movie on a display in front of the driver.
It's ok to show off how a wonderful head unit I have which can play YT, but not while driving.
It's not ok to watch a movie while driving just to do a forbidden thing.
There's no "it's ok" scenario here for playing movies while in motion. Please share if you
know some. I'm pretty sure these are very uncommon or borderline ok.
Those "it's not ok" may be tempting. Because the driver may be bored, pissed off,
deny the danger of driving distracted, willing to show off, overestimate his/her skills,
name your reason.
Words displayed in the dash or written on a website or anywhere else would rarely
prevent it.
It's not that if movies are not possible in these cases, the driver will definitely do
something else stupid, like playing the video on the phone itself or become even more
angry and aggressive on road.
I want to say that clearly: I believe no apps should allow playing videos on the
car display while the car is in motion. Period.
I ask all here to not write such apps and not promote and talk about them here.
Instead of supporting those who create these apps just to satisfy popular demand of
doing a forbidden thing, please support those who actually care about creatively
and carefully designing the apps to be useful and which assertively, yet nicely
prevent being used in a stupid way.
Regards,
martoreto
