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

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

Yes, I'm going to make an example and as soon as I finish it I'll share it with you.

Best regards.

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

[Joejsanz]

@Hans

example how to implement the wavey-slider to look and work like this?

Here is the example...

PlayerAndWavySlider.aia (961.4 KB)

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.)

I had seen the discussion and found it interesting.

I think I could implement that in the player, I'll check it out right now.

[Hans]

Awesome!
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Now that I see the code, I realize what I configured wrong... Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for the ultra fast reply and your help!

Update v1.1.2 Mar 08, 2025.

@Joejsanz

When calling GetAllMusic while in Companion, an error appeared and the music was not retrieved.

• This has been fixed.

Now, when you slide the playback position with SeekTo, it will sound like the rewind that occurs when you fast forward or rewind an audio with the slider.

• Rewind / FastForward effect Implementation Inspired by Anke.

Estou reproduzindo música de streaming via PLAYER, tem como exibir o nome da banda e música? (o streaming envia essas informações)

[edu60segundos]

No meu Player não aparece as opções songtitle e artistname....

[Marco_M]

Unfortunately the players do not "read" the artist and song name for streaming, only for mp3 files... Even if the various players like winamp, vlc etc display it, in the players in AppInventor it does not, to display it you have to find another way.
