Re: Custom Icon e.g. Starting Favorite Webradio
 

When I cat the KVMV.sh and paste it straight into xterm it opens up media player and plays the stream. I'm confused???

Re: Custom Icon e.g. Starting Favorite Webradio
 

Please send me your KMVM.sh and I will have a look

Re: Custom Icon e.g. Starting Favorite Webradio
 

I had all kinds of problems with cutting and pasting and nothing worked right. I entered everything manually and it worked perfectly. I used nano, but Leafpad would work as well, or vi/vim for the wussies who have problems with ed :rolleyes:

There were obviously some type of invisible meta characters that were driving me nutz with it not working.

Here it is. And thanks for your help

Re: Custom Icon e.g. Starting Favorite Webradio
 

Yipee!

It's working :)

Many thanks, Reflektorfalke and les_garten. Thanks for persisting to help and get this sorted for me.

In the end I just opened leafpad on the N900 and typed in the all the info into a new KVMV.sh file and it worked.

It seems like les_garten's final tip was what was needed but thank you bigtime to Reflektorfalke for all your help these last few days.

Sweeet, glad I was able to help figure this out !!!
See, its quite simple to setup :p

Now enjoy listening to your beats with your new webradio icon !!!:D:D:D

BTW: Don´t forget to add a nice icon ;-)

Re: Custom Icon e.g. Starting Favorite Webradio
 

I am a windows user but since I have got the N900 I just installed kubuntu and have learned a bit just by getting this shortcut to work.

I didn't even know how to create, copy and delete files with linux until you guys started helping me here. :)

Thanks.

Hopefully if I just do the editing in leafpad on the N900 then I shouldn't get any problems adding other shortcuts.

Thanks once again guys!

I was working on this the other day, and pulled out my Hari Kari blade! Somebody else mentioned it earlier in the thread and that's what it was. Glad it's working for ya!

Re: Custom Icon e.g. Starting Favorite Webradio
 

Les, is there a thread explaining how to use a different icon?

Re: Custom Icon e.g. Starting Favorite Webradio
 

The mod thread has a lot.

Short version with my icon

cp shoutcast.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon


cp shoutcast.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon

there may be two scalable dirs because one of the developers didn't know how to spell scalable.

then in your desktop file place just the name of the icon without the .png extension.

Look at the other desktop files and you'll figure it out.
