Player - Device Audio, Loop - Play Streaming

@otniel

hello iwant to play mp3 file from online, how to get the "duration"?

If the file is a live stream you will not be able to get the duration.

At this moment this published version of Player cannot get the duration of a file online

I've added a property to get the duration when playing a song, but it will be available until the next update, I just need to verify that it works with online music files.

• Files I can't find to test.

thankyou @Joejsanz

[otniel]

thank you @Anke but no option "duration" for streaming a specific mp3 with JoeDevPlayer

Hi, I have a question, why is the volume managed with decimal numbers and not with values ​​from 1 to 100 like the inventor app player?
I would like to use your extension in my project, but as it is a project already created with the default player I wouldn't want to have any problems. Can the volume be managed with values ​​with two decimal places? (example from 0.00 mute to 1.00 max volume) If I wanted to set a volume of 4%, can I pass the parameter 0.04 to the player?

Using decimal numbers from 0.00 to 1.00 to set the volume offers greater precision, flexibility, and normalization compared to integer values ​​from 1 to 100.

Yes, if you want to use values ​​from 0 to 100, you just have to divide the whole number by 100.

There is now an option to get the duration and 3 more options for the URL of a streaming mp3.

Thank you for the extension update! It has been really helpful for me.

[Joejsanz]

Thanks a lot otniel

Hi... do these new blocks you added also work for streaming a radio that broadcasts on the web? to get artist name and song title?

[Joejsanz]

If it's a live stream you won't get that data, but if it's an audio file on the web, you will get the data.

[Daniel1]

ah ok.. thanks for the reply anyway I renew my compliments for what you do.. all the extensions you create are very useful

[Joejsanz]

Thanks so much Daniel

Hello Joe, after using it to play an MP3 song from the server, it takes a bit longer to load and seems to freeze for a moment

@otniel

it takes a bit longer to load and seems to freeze for a moment

I think the delay is due to the authentication implementation I made for URLs

Hi Joe,
thanks for your awesome extension!

At the moment I want to implement a timeview-slider for local played song, that also has the ability to skip to a specific time in the song by drag & dropping the slider. Basically the normal function of these music-player sliders...

Unfortunately I am struggeling how I can use the wavey slider component to do this.
Is there a very basic example how to implement the wavey-slider to look and work like this?

Thank you very much.

Best regards
Hans

Fast forward and backward and progress bar for mp3 player

I found a way to do everything with just one slider: display the current runtime, fast forward and rewind. Unfortunately, this is much more complicated with AI2 than with Kodular, because among other things the Slider component in AI2 has no TouchDown and TouchUp events. So test this APK on your devices: Since this question also arises frequently: You should also be able to pick and play mp3 files from the external (removable) SD card.

How to play a sound and how to fast forward and rewind it

@Hans

Here is the example...

I hadn't realized that when calling the GetAllMusic function while in companion I get an error and can't get the music.

But when installing the apk everything is solved.

I will make an update to solve that.

We already had a discussion about continue playing while forwarding/rewinding:

MediaSessionPlayer - Play audio in the background, with Media3 ExoPlayer

Well, I think every MP3 player and CD player behaves like I say. At least the sound shouldn't continue playing during fast forward/rewind.

MediaSessionPlayer - Play audio in the background, with Media3 ExoPlayer

MediaSessionPlayer - Play audio in the background, with Media3 ExoPlayer

Yes, there is no doubt that this is just a side note in the context of your extension. And that is exactly what I called it. However, I have been using CD players and (later) MP3 players for more than 40 years, and they all worked like I say. So it was and is standard. Period. (Regardless of how modern Android apps handle it today.)
