Apache's mod_rewrite is your friend, two lines of code will solve your problems. Off the top of my head (untested but looks good):

You might mess with the regexp a little, but it can be that simple. Anything at that point would work - "/oTa/MulTIplAY.Jad" would transform to /OTA/multiPlay.jad, for example.

Thanks rivviepop, will try it, that users do not face problems again.

EDIT:
Now fixed, any case will work even /OtA/mUlTiPlAy.JaD , thanks again.

I would rather have the mesh player..multiplay tells me there are no playlist even though i edited the sample one or select it? Get exception i o error if i let play in background if i try to go back to the program. mehbe i am retarded? but i cannot get it to show any playlist after editing the sample one? Been looking for forward to mesh player for a while. crap.

I dunno why you are facing such problems, because there are many people who have used it, liked it and made purchases.

Please consult the user manual for detailed explanation on using playlists. I would suggest you download and install the latest version from http://dollars5.com/OTA/multiPlay.jad, Also please delete the sample playlist, create a new one afresh, add songs to the new playlist, save it and try playing it. Should you have any further problems, please feel free to report here or get back to us, we are always here to help you.

Regards,
Dollars 5.

You deleted it? It looked cool :(

gP

found a stupid bug - i must learn to check and check again!

hopefully it'll return in an hour or two.

Ok. I will be patient.

try again: http://jonathanhfisher.co.uk/softwar...layer1_0_1.zip

keys 2 and 5 alter the volume - everything else should be self explanatory. no repeat, no shuffle, no time even - but it's a pleasure to use and involves very few clicks to get around.

please report any bugs to:

cheers,
jon

(ps. it's called Cascades Player - named after my favourite track by Yann Tiersen - Rue Des Cascades)

Good work JFisher, so now BB has 1 bundled player and two free media players

UI is simple and neat. We are considering to implement similar playlist creation for our program too..

It works fine thanks

cheers - it is hassle free - but that's because there are so few features. have tweaked it so when you select a track you dont get bumped back to the playlist screen and have to through the explorer all over again - will post the update later. couple of other improvements too; when you back out of a directory it remembers which one you clicked - at the moment it just reverts back to the first item.

seems to be a bug when creating larger playlists too - think i know the cause of this though (leaving players open! - naughty)

[edit - and a bug on the playlists - they only play two tracks automatically, the auto-play fails after this. - all bugs listed on the website listed below, keep the bug reports coming, cheers!]

Glad I could help, I love the swiss-army-knife abilities of Apache. It's my pleasure to help people learn about how much you can do with it to solve all your business problems.

You need an RSS channel for update announcements!

good idea: JHFhomepage

I like it so far jfisher. anyway to add all music at once? make playlist editable?

PicoNews users -- I just added it to the database, look under the 'BlackBerry' section (or seach on the URL via the webUI).

JHF - could you add a direct OTA link in the xml feed, so a user could click inside PicoNews (or really any reader) to install the new versions?

will do - but not just yet - i've got some plans to add a site for bb on that url with ota downloads... but i need to pay some bills before i ask the hosts to add the mime types to the server! - i get paid next friday so will start things moving then.

have made an on-device installer that checks for upgrades to make the process automatic, might open-source it if it doesn't conflict with work (they might not like me giving that away).

re - automatically creating playlists- yes, as soon as cascades is stable and working properly i'll begin adding more features, it would be nice if you could just click a button and it'd scan the entire sd and create playlists from what it finds. i like the basic interface though; it's like a breathe of fresh air so i want to keep it simple.

Are there any mp3 players that can handle large/long mp3 files? So far none of the following can: the BB Media Player, the multiPlay, and Cascades Player.

My daily mp3 I listen to is around 115-170MB and is 4.5 hours on average. I am looking for a player that has the ability to fast forward/seek through the mp3.

I am going to assume there is not one that can handle right now and that I will have to wait it out.

I posted this today but didn't get many responses: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ia-player.html

Help!!


Please help!!!

Hi,

We have already begun work on this area. sooner you can expect multiPlay to properly seek larger files. Seems like a problems that blackberry OS is having in handling larger files for now - but it can be fixed, ETA unknown for the fix.

Until then, couldn't you just split it up into a few files and put them in a playlist? They would play one after the other anyway.

I finally got multiplay to work today..took forever. how do get a license..pay or whatever? dont like one playlist

I could. That is such a hassle to do EVERY day. I will continue to use my iPod until this is fixed somewhere.

Thanks, I'll keep checking this thread.

Oh, no i meant do this on your computer and load them to your phone in separate song files, like song part 1, song part 2, etc. Then if they're in the same playlist they will play one after the other. You would only have to do this once.

I understood. Its a new mp3 each day, so I would have to do it every day (on my computer). Not worth the time when I have an ipod to use. Its also because I am lazy. I spend enough time on this damn thing anyway. Like right now when I should be sleeping!

Oh I figured you would just leave it on your pearl. Hopefully they will fix it soon then

Glad you got it working, should you face any problems feel free to get back to us in here, or at our community forums or vide our contact us page at Dollars 5 Complete » Contact us

For purchase details for mp3 player please visit Dollars 5 Complete » mediaPlayer for Blackberry Pearl 8100, should you be interested with a value pack of 4 applications (mediaplayer+voice recorder+text notes+multiPlay professional) visit Dollars 5 Complete » multiPlay professional edition for Blackberry Pearl 8100

Should you need to preview the media Player alone - please bear with us for 1 more week, we are packing up tons of features and a trial preview for you to test for 1 whole week - announcements to follow sooner.

Currently we are busy with other Open Source Project for Blackberry users and announcements to follow sooner - this next project is a compliment to all our supporters for making the multiPlay series a great success through their immediate purchases of licenses (day 1 purchases alone took more than 15 hours to dispatch the validation keys - typically it would take 2-3 mins to send a validation key after validating the transaction details).

@zimbu1234:
It would be great if you could help our team get hold of these mp3 files if it does not violate any copyrights. We do get some podcasts, but the longest one we have is for 55 mins.

*ears perk up* reeeallly? I love me some open source, tastes just like chicken. Can't wait.

</linux.opensource.nut>

how do i see the screen, just like the pics you posted on your site. right now, it shows me a screen with option, play a track OR play a playlist. when i go for play a track, it plays a track with a pop up window. i do not see any progress bar for the song, nor the minutes. in short, i do not see the screen like the one you have on your website.

what pic? there is no picture with a progress bar? in short, i think you have a different website?

jfisher...you had screens a while back of meshplayer in a greenish color. i think thats what he is saying. thats the one i was looking forward to.

yes yes... thats the one i am talking about. why dont i see it that way in my bb. also, i tried to attach an image if i can find it on your website. somehow you have also changed your website. hence, i could not attach pic. of your players screenshot.

yeah i liked the way his old site was. his new one i dont.

What about the option for a music player that can stream music from the internet? i just moved cities and i wish i could lestion to a couple of radio stations from my old city on my pearl.

Check this one out, it uses standard Shoutcast streams:
MFRadio - mobile streaming radio

I play my favourite on it (BreaksFM, http://breaks.fm/) without any problems.

WOW! Later RadioBee.

Will this work on an 8800?

and this works with 8100?? i dl the file and app loader cant see it....
any idea??

tnx

A .JAD file is (in BlackBerry terms) for installing "Over the Air" -- you hit the JAD URL directly with your BB browser over the internet and it will download the corresponding JAR file (I'm oversimplifying this for you, you can search more here on BBF). It is not for use with the desktop app loader -- those take ALX files (search BBF).

That MFRadio page uses SourceForge (which isn't a direct OTA-type site), so I'll put it on my tiny section of 'free' software for you... *insert pause* ... ok send the following URL to your phone in an email or SMS, and click on it on the BB (then choose 'Get Link'):

http://rivviepop.php0h.com/bb/ota/MFRadio-0.9.1.jad

You could also host these on your own webserver (Apache) with little effort, there are many posts about how to do this here on BBF. I've also got a small blog article I wrote about it as well, if you're interested:

configuring apache for mobile browsing « rivviepop phantom

Note to lurkers: nothing in /bb/ota/ juicy, it's all free stuff you could get from somewhere else.

Ill give it a try right now! tnx!! cant wait!!
