It's not as simple as adding an option to choose MAFW. I need to implement a player that uses MAFW instead of Phonon. If/when I do that, I don't see any reason to allow Phonon as a choice, since there would be no reason to choose it.

While waiting for that, i think we would live very well with the possibility to add a custom command to play the selected stream:

mplayer "http://shoutcast.rtl.it:3020/listen.pls"

or:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"http://shoutcast.rtl.it:3020/listen.pls"

This would also solve any "codec not supported" issue and allow an easy customization and fix for all the supported platforms.

I'm not familiar with the internal differences of the players, but I have noticed that mplayer has issues with buffering that result in its abandoning a stream & going silent when taxed. I must use kmplayer, which must differ somehow, when reliability for not going silent is essential.

As far still can hear Radio 1 (essential mix). :p;)

What will happen with favorites?

Greetings.

PD: I know we still can on tunein.

Existing favourites will be lost, but you can add them back via TuneIn. Once you add the stations to the database, you'll be able to browse them offline. The benefit is that you might only need 100 stations in the database, which will result in better performance than having 30,000 stations, where 29,900 are never even used. There is also a better chance that the stations will be up to date when you add them, and you can always update them using TuneIn if they ever stop working.

There are no significant differences. Just some UI details.

I can do that. :) cuteTube already has that feature.

Here's what the Harmattan version currently looks like, with station logos and a toolbutton in place of the 'Now playing' banner:

You can set the buffer size for mplayer with the 'cache' parameter, e.g

Code:

mplayer --cache=2048 $filename
This should help with any buffering issues. I don't know if KMPlayer changes the default buffer size when it uses the mplayer backend.
