Thanks

Mhm you need to "go online" as well, else you need to download the whole audio portal :D
But you don't need your browser or some other Programms to run it :)

WTF?
I dunno, I don't have Windows 1 and I don't know anyone who has it :D But I think it won't work (but feel free to try it out).
But I think It won't work with DOS because its an Windows Application, and you need the Windows xD

Hey guys, I still need some feedback. I planned to publish the final version a few days ago, but since I didn't get a single bugreport, or something, I'll wait, till somebody tell me to publish it.....

Still no one replying?
Mhm whatever... Is someone interested in using the NG radioplayer in a different Language?
I could translate it into german, too.
Btw. Could someone check the programm for spelling mistakes?

Response to Newgrounds Radio player prerelease May 13, 2010


Guys :( I don't want to wait forever... I just want to hear something like: "Okay publish it and create the uptate" Or something like "No, there are still to many bugs"

Response to Newgrounds Radio player prerelease May 13, 2010


I've found no bugs so far. It would be great it we could rate and write reviews and see the author's description.

Great idea. but there are different ways to rate the songs. I yould include a little webbroser, so that you are able to acces newgrounds from the NG radioplayer or you just need to press a button to write reviews. But thats somehow harder.
I think I'll publish and create the update earlier. This feature might come in the next version, because it could be hard to code something like that.

Response to Newgrounds Radio player prerelease Jun 5, 2010


Errr... Sorry guys I was on holiday, so I wasn't able to work on the NG radioplayer verry much :D I have verry much to do right now. Before I'll submit the final version I'll need to create a short feature list.

Seeing as the buttons are on the right, it's not a Mac.

Will it be released for Mac?

Windows 1 was never released (horrible bug, Microsoft style), you're probably referring to Windows 1.01 which I actually tried in a virtual machine.

Not yet - I made some attempts to compile a Mac version, but its not working properly. I'm planning to release a Mac version with the final version. The problem is I poorly don't have a Mac myself, so I can't test the programms I' writing.
But It should work using wine. I tried to start the NG radioplayer using Ubuntu and Wine.

Cool. I'm up for testing! PM the link.

Not working under Wine for me.
How did you get it to work?
If I get it to work I'll upload a Mac version.

Response to Newgrounds Radio player prerelease Aug 30, 2010


A few suggestions:

-Use capitalization.
-Integrate some kind of autostart feature. It does not need to be selective in genre (or rating, etc), but just something to start the user off. A feature like this may let the user experience newer music and allow more exposure for audio artists that are underrated. This might not be the overall point, but I'm sure the NGAP would be grateful for this addition.
-Get rid of the % on the progress bar.
-As I was listening through a song, the current time surpassed the song length. This may be due to a user reupload. Come up with some function to compensate for this.
-Rename your player. It's an audio player, not a radio. Unless you create a radio-like system, it doesn't amount to anything more than a media player. The current name could be misleading to many individuals.
-Allow the volume bar to be draggable.
-Also allow the progress bar to be draggable. Possibly add in fast-forward or rewind, but these aren't necessary if the bar can be dragged.

That's all I've got for now. There is much potential for your client. Don't forget that the Programming Forum is full of experienced programmers on many different platforms. If you ever need help, consult them.

*grinn* Good idea. I thought there would be some language mistakes.

Mmhm right. Alternatively It could play the newest submissions (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/). Good point.

No problem. I thought it would be useful, but that was my personal Opinion. I'll remove it.

Mmm I know this bug. But the radioplayer is calculating the song duration using the windows media player. I'll create an own function, if i have time enought.

Yeah right the only "radio" part of this player is, that you are able to listen to radiogrounds :)

Should be doable. Thanks for the hint.

Yeah, thats still in work. (since the first version) But it isn't really working the function I created makes the programm crash sometimes. I'll overwork it.

Are there some testers with win7 64 bit or linux (with wine) yet?

No one?
I urgently need testers else for those platforms else it won't make sense to keep on coding.

For all those who don't want to go to the first page:

The new version:
http://ngrp-beta.tk/
(portable)

Thats new:
*The playlist function
*The Hotkey function
*Individual styles
*You are able to acces your favourite Songs
*You are able to deactivate the Updater
*Added - Settings menu
*Im & Export
*Listen to Radiogrounds
*Create your own playlists
etc.

And the old version on my homepage:
http://newgrounds-radioplayer.zor.org/
(Portable + Installer)

I've tested it on Windows 7.
The whole thing looks pretty cool, but there are some issues.
- The necessity of having a genre selected. That doesn't make sense, because I'm sure there are some people that don't care what genre they hear.
- When I click 'More...' underneath the 'Genres' scrolldown menu, I can't go back, the player crashes and I have to close it. I don't know why this happens, but it's an annoying bug.
- When I'm playing a song and I click 'Search', the song's position on the bar goes back to 0% but the song keeps on playing. That's also really annoying because the song does no longer match the position on the bar.
- When I pause a song (so the 'Pause' button becomes a 'Resume' button) and I click another one, it starts playing but the button still says 'Resume'. When I click it, it changes back to 'Pause' and the song keeps playing and when I click it THEN it pauses the song. This is not really a big deal, but it doesn't look good.
- Yes, the search bar must be draggable. I don't care about the volume bar, but the search bar must be draggable.

Hope you can do something with this info. :)

yeah thats the problem. Normally you don't need to select a genre when you click on "More" Just select all :P
But to say the truth I dunno, why the player crashes. D'you use the beta or the old version? And d'you see at least the genre select box, where you are able to click more than one genre?

- When I'm playing a song and I click 'Search', the song's position on the bar goes back to 0% but the song keeps on playing. That's also really annoying because the song does no longer match the position on the bar.

Interesting. I haven't realised that thanks :) Should be easy to fix that ;)

When I click it, it changes back to 'Pause' and the song keeps playing and when I click it THEN it pauses the song. This is not really a big deal, but it doesn't look good.

Oh yeah. I remember how i coded this button. Shouldn't be a big problem. Will be fixed in the next version, thanks.

- Yes, the search bar must be draggable. I don't care about the volume bar, but the search bar must be draggable.

Mhmm thats a bit harder, but I'll try to make it draggable in the next version.

Hope you can do something with this info. :)

Yeah thanks, a lot mate, really helpfull, I'll try to fix all this issues in the next version, but it'll take a bit :)

:- When I click 'More...' underneath the 'Genres' scrolldown menu, I can't go back, the player crashes and I have to close it. I don't know why this happens, but it's an annoying bug.

Mhmm you have to klick on "OK" on the bottom of the scrolldown menu. It won't work to click elsewhere (i'll try to fix that, too)
