I'm not familiar with Blueant z9i but make sure it complies with the A2DP standard to get music through.

I was able to play music using the BlueTooth Stereo Gateway with one of the earlier xPlayer betas without a problem, I haven't gotten/tried the official release yet.

I am running 4.2, BIS and getting 3-4 bars of strength.

For your first problem (open file), I had issues when I first installed the app, xFile locked up the first time I tried to add a file to the playlist. I rebooted the device and the problem went away.

For your second problem, it could be your carrier. I can't stream anything very well from my carrier even with 4-5 bars of strength. Streaming over WiFi is pure bliss though, the app is great.

Is there a restriction on building my own station or is some kind of approval needed?

My first guess is that your station is streaming in some format that xPlayer does not support.

If your station url is of the form "http://radio.station.com:port#" , then it's likely either that your carrier has blocked the port or that the stream encoding is unsupported.

The 702 radio page says that it is streaming using wma 7.0 codecs, it's possible that xPlayer doesn't support that newest version.

Thanks for the advice, but I figured it out after reading some of the other posts.
I simply just deleted it from my phone, deleted it from my DM (since I realized that I had a previous version in it and installed it there instead of OTA). Then, after I was sure that every trace of it was gone, I downloaded OTA & installed it. Works like a charm now. I don't even get the radio re buffering now.
Now this is a app that I will pay for.
Again, thanks for your help & advice.

I've noticed that with v1.2.0 when playing mp3 files from the BB device, the time-elapsed counter doesn't work. It still shows 00:00 the whole time. Anybody else see the same?

[neftv]

I've not seem that problem on mine. The thing I notice the most on mine is how spotty the "internet" coverage AT&T has around the Philadelphia, PA Market when going mobile with XPlayer.

We've noticed the same with Verizon users. Are you on Verizon?

[macflauaus]

I keep getting either Connection Issues or Playback Error when I try to stream radio. I think the BlackBerry gods don't want me to listen to radio... ;)

[negrobizzle]

in case anyone is wondering about headsets, i was able to use a Jawbone 2 to successfully listen to mp3s/radio, use audio path bluetooth

[negrobizzle]

does anyone know what the data connection type setting does? As in, is there a specific type that will be higher quality? I'm on BIS, so I'm assuming I can't use the BES setting, but how do I choose between "Direct TCP" and "Use BIS transport"

Connection type tells the software what part of the data path it should take to communicate to get the station. Best results are to use direct TCP and set the buffer to 200 atleast that is what I use. You are right don't want to use BES.
Go to menu>settings> Radio and you see them in there. Just highlight the connection type to make a change press the track ball and make the selection that way.

thanks!

No, I'm on Rogers.

I was playing the mp3s from the media card, not the built-in memory, I should've specified that in my post.

The Application X-Player has attempted to open a connection a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy.

Do I need a data plan?

[trlightning]

I am on T-Mobile and receive the same message, but I DO have a data plan... please help.

[daphne]

Usually that means your device has an IT policy put in place by your company if it's a company owned device. Not much you can do in that case. If you try to bypass the IT policy you risk losing your job.

If you bought the device used and it's not a company device, you can remove it.

Fwiw, I tried this program wasn't particularly impressed. The built in media player is good for me, and the internet radio on xplayer didn't work well for me.

Thanks for the advice, Daphne. I should have provided more detailed information. My 8320 was purchased new from a T-Mobile store, and is primarily for personal use (although I do access work e-mail through BIS). The only change I made to the BB since purchasing was upgrading the OS to 4.5.0.52.

If you haven't already, check Options > Security Options > Application Permissions > X-Player and change everything to Allowed.
