WebView Radio Stream Player

WebView Radio Stream Player [radio_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48] This is an experimental, no frills radio stream player. The app uses the Custom Webview control by Sunny vknow360 CustomWebView : An extended form of Web Viewer . No audio player component is needed. The app requires the stream's direct MP3 web address, the URL, to connect to the live streams. In general most of the streams provided with the example are low bandwidth 24 kbps MP3 streams. Streams with higher bit rates produce …

here's the aia could you possible have a look please
playPause2.aia (626.7 KB)

[SteveJG]

playPause2Testing.aia (627.5 KB)

Perhaps you can do something with this?

[Hottunez_Radio]

ok i'v had my misses test this but still nothing
she's trying it with only the one play pause button

i really hate asking for help but when our App don't work i have to lol

[SteveJG]

You app works for me using Button1 and Button2. The app plays well using the aia I posted. You have to wait a few seconds after pressing Play for the stream to initialize. Is your Android's volume control turned up?

Your radio stream cannot use the Player.Pause Block. To stop the stream you have to set the Source to an empty text Block.

but how's the stream meant to play when i can't have the stream in BtnPlay box?

You can if you do not use Anke's MyFonts extension. The code works fine using ordinary Buttons.
There is either an issue with how you use MyFonts or the extension does not work how you think it does.

Instead of MyFonts to place a symbol in the Label you might use Material Design icons.

Material Symbols and Icons - Google Fonts

@SteveJG

Anke's MyFonts extension

You can now use custom fonts, like e.g. Material icons │ nb191

[grafik] My extension MyFonts should therefore now be obsolete.

You can now use custom fonts, like e.g. Material icons │ nb191

Not quite yet, because as far as I know, there is no way to change the font again via blocks. However, this is not a problem with MyFonts. (See here.)

You should have the Player.Source set beforehand as it may take a few seconds to buffer depending on the size of the streamed file and/or its audio format.

[SteveJG]

This example using material design jpg images works.
PlayerStream.aia (4.9 KB)

Remember, after touching the Play icon your stream will take a few seconds to load.

It is not possible to Pause the stream, you have to set the Source to an empty text block.

and stop the stream where it is at.

http://boogie.vside-radio.com:8406/stream or as you wrongly typed the url as http://boogie.vside-radio.com:8406/tream without the s in stream.

[Hottunez_Radio]

yea typo error lol

[Hottunez_Radio]

tried on my phone but app keeps crashing i'v got version 2.66
is there an update for mit app2

[SteveJG]

Is this with your Blocks or my posted example?

Do not run my example using Companion; build the apk and install on your phone for better performance. The apk is more stable than the Companion live development.
