Finally got my MP3 music player "StreamStar" packaged up on Android Market and it's now available for installation on Android based devices. Its purpose is to allow progressive streaming of your home music collection (MP3 files) using a web server set up for directory browsing. I've successfully done this myself using a DNS-321 NAS device running lighttpd and also successfully tested using IIS. Since it's not wise to expose your entire music collection to the online world, you'll probably want to tunnel the HTTP connection over SSH and use an obscure port for added security. Being my first Android app and coming from the VB.Net world (i.e. Java noob), there are bound to be some bugs so expect to see a force close (FC) or two. But it does work nicely once you get things set up correctly on the server side.
Since this is the first public beta release, the app will self-terminate when executed on or after 9/1/2010 (I should have newer versions available by then.)

v1.01 just released. Fixes more crashes and adds an auto-pause feature for incoming/outgoing calls (only works when StreamStar has focus though; will improve that later.)
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI have downloaded your app on my Desire running 2.1 . I have uploaded some mp3 files onto my server and can successfully browse to the directory called 'music' in StreamStar. The app never plays any songs though, and it cannot see the mp3's in the directory, it just shows blank.
If I upload to the root of my site the mp3 shows up but I get a W: Media Unknown Error . MP Error 1,-10 and No MP3 files in this directory error.
Thanks.
If you can tell me what web server you're using and maybe provide me with a copy of the HTML (or better yet, a URL) I might be able to troubleshoot.
ReplyDeletevery very informative, helped me allot, I just love it, thanks.
