Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Well done! The only difference I've noticed is that the Symbian version do not show title and interpret and in the version for Harmattan this future works. Is there other limitations?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

The missing metadata is due to the different multimedia frameworks used. QtMultimediaKit does not retrieve the ICY metadata, whereas Phonon does. Unfortunately, streaming MP3 using Phonon does not seem to work (error message is 'Download error'), so I must use QtMultimediaKit for now. When I have more time, I will investigate further, and perhaps switch to native Symbian APIs if I can't get Phonon to work.

Other than the metadata issue, the two versions are the same. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Mate, this app is AWESOME.
Featherweight at 379kB RAM while streaming and it already has all of my previous favorites preexisting in the DB!!!
So many thanks and please do mention if you need any dev tools (like Carbide 2.7 [for v3 deployment] or any SDK).

i'm so stoked! :D

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Yeah, I wrote some custom components for cuteTube with improved keyboard support some time ago, so I was able to reuse them here. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

i know this is off-topic, but this community really makes me want to get the N900, N950 (ha ha, yeah right :p) and N9 i've always thought about getting.
Even a Symbian cousin gets treated very well in this forum and i like how gracious everyone is.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Update: I spotted a small bug in the Symbian version (sleep timer duration setting not visible). :o An updated version has been uploaded.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Oh Man...Awesome,im waiting for version to symbian s60 3rd...

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Maybe i blew it (it happens :p), but it isn't saving my favourites and another Anna device user reported the same...

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Saving favourites is working on my devices. Both are running Belle, but I'd be surprised if that makes a difference. The database is currently overwritten during installation, so if you installed the updated version (or just re-installed the existing version), you will have lost your favourites.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Yup. It was operator error
:rolleyes:
Sorry :(
i'll ask the other person if they did the same thing i did (i used + instead of long-tapping the station).

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Thanx for this app. I have the N9. I cannot play many stations. I get Status: Error. eg. station 3AW - 693 AM Melbourne

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Check here if you need Symbian development tools:

http://n8delight.blogspot.com/2014/0...f-symbian.html


a s60v5 port should be really easy: It supports Qt 4.7 and by default it has no Symbian components, only the default QtQuick 1.0
But there's a simple port of the Symbian components 1.0: http://forum.symbian-developers.net/...nts-for-s60v5/
So it's more or less easy to port the S^3 version to this firmware.

s60v3 with Qt 4.6 supports no QtQuick at all, you can use:
a) native Avkon for the UI which is A LOT of work and it's completly Symbian C++ or try Carbide C++ 2.7, which has a WYSIWYG UI editor, and pure Symbian C++ for the logic.

However if you didn't use pure Symbian C++ before don't use this way, it requires a bit time to get into the CleanupStack, TRAPs, Descriptors, Two Phase Construction etc. and it's not that useful to learn this stuff in 2014.
Maybe CODeRUS can help you a bit if you have questions? My skills are OK but I am not an expert.

b) QWidgets, which have a native look an feel.
You need the old QtSDK 1.1 which has s60v3 support, 1.2 has v5 - Belle only.


c) There are other solutions like Flash, JavaME, WRT, .NET, Python, Ruby, Perl and Silverlight but I don't know if they support the audio streaming?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

@marxian
just a quick report...
While using the maemo version i can observe a mediamu/high cpu usage with the phone becoming a little bit warm after ~10 minutes (using a wifi connection) and battery level seems to go down quickly.

EDIT.
and a few questions.
How did you populated the db and could it be updated?
Which sources are you using?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Thank you for app!!!! But But I'm not able to listen ''Digitally Imported-Trance'' in UK? Any help? :-(

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I've also been doing some testing on the Maemo version. From what top shows, while running, cuteradio tends to hover around 20% CPU, and pulseaudio stays between 20-25% CPU. I'm not seeing significant warming or battery drain here (although I haven't run for more than about half an hour at a time).

This is also on a wifi connection. My phone is sitting just a couple of feet from my wifi router though, so it might not need as much power...

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Same results as Copernicus - for comparison, the same station, but listened to using OMP uses ~15 kB/s transfer and OMP doesn't exceed 5% CPU (pulseaudio, similar to Copernicus example, is 15-20% CPU).

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Yep i can confirm the values, cumulative load is near 50-60% but seems to change a little for different streams.

When compared to OMP in fact it uses about 20-25% more cpu.

Temperature... probably a summer effect summed to cpu load.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I will almost certainly be using QWidgets for S60 3rd Edition. Of course, if it's very easy to port the Symbian ^3 version to S60 5th Edition, well the source is on GitHub, so ... ;)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

MAFW (used by OMP) uses the DSP, whereas Phonon does not. This explains the difference in CPU load.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I get a message about licensing restrictions. If you have access to a proxy server, you can use that in cuteRadio by going to the settings page and entering the proxy settings.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I can't remember where I obtained the list of stations (it was about 10 months ago). The station list is in tab-separated text format, and I wrote a simple shell script to create a SQLITE database and add the stations to it. The station list, script and resulting database are all in the source tarball.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

@marxian
Maybe from here: http://web-radio-importer.googlecode...ions/WebRadio/

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

No, those are in XML format. There also seems to be far fewer stations there.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

@marxian
If you decide to add an online search:

curl --silent http://opml.radiotime.com/Browse.ashx?c=local | grep audio | grep station| gawk -F'"' '{ print "Station : " $4}{system("curl --silent "$6" | head -n1")}'

Along with huellif's development tool cache, here is the link to my repository:

The Qt SDKs for Windows have been locked by Google for some reason (perhaps the >1GB file size?), but the Linux tools are fine.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Hi. Do you have networks proxies can recommend us?? it s working with cuteRadio?

Thank you, GrEAt App! :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I don't use a proxy myself, but they should be working in cuteRadio. The only problem would be if Phonon does not use the application-wide network proxy setting.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

well, I don't know what's that mean ''to have access to a proxy server''... what setting i need to insert? It needs Host, Port, Username and Password, where to get these?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

A proxy can be used if your IP is blocked on a particular server.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Hello, Hong Kong country station does not work...

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Can you be more specific? All HK stations or just one?
As previously mentioned, the list is potentially out of date so it is possible not all stations are current (i've already found a few dead stations).

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

The next update will have TuneIn integration (with other services possibly added later). The existing local database will be removed, and instead it will be possible to add stations from TuneIn to the database for local storage. This way, you can build your own local list of stations, instead of having 30,000 entries.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

@marxian
thank you for considering tunein!
Anyway, if it was up to me, i would not discharge your great db since it's very good alternative at the online search.

If you add the tunein search, please consider also tunein's pictures, these would give a nice playing experience.

One more request, do you think it would be possible to add a setting into the N900 build to chose between Phonom and MAFW?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Thank you, but i agree with xes' suggestion to use both - i can spare a few MB for an offline db :) (i have 14.5GB of offline maps, i can deal with 4.77MB of station dirctory :D)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I've already implemented logo support for the stations. These will be saved to the local disk if a station is added to the database.

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.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

The problem is that 30,000 entries is a lot, and slows down any operations that require calling the database.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Ahhh. Thank you :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

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

What will happen with favorites?

Greetings.

PD: I know we still can on tunein.
