New Post: Buffering percentage less than 100

cdplex — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:34:04 GMT

Hi,

I just compiled the code on 2012 for WP7.1 devices, the issue is
If i debug the code with breakpoints the DLL works fine and it starts playing, but if I just played without breakpoints, many times it is stuck in loop and just keeps printing "6 Buffering percentage less than 100" in output.

Stream Url : http://198.154.106.102:8419

I tried this on multiple urls.

Thanks

Bringing it down to only the URL in the Tag, still not working.

I am unable to even get to "OnBeginStreaming", it seems. Wonder if there's another way to trigger that.

Looking forward to the next update :/

I actually haven't tested this at all in WP8 yet, so I have no idea why it would work or not there. It might be that error checking could have been relaxed in WP8 for non-fatal scenarios. I will hopefully have time to dig back into this soon and update it for WP8. Anything with OnPlayStateChanged is always problematic, and AudioTrack is very picky. Try stripping your AudioTrack creation down to only the URL, and see if it works.

New Post: Im getting Overflow Exception

Thanks for replying.

I wouldn't ignore the exception but it's shown to be working in my WP8 app despite the exceptions, so I'm not sure.

Anyway, the exception appears to be coming from AudioPlayer.cs, where OnPlayStateChanged:

base = {System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
   at Microsoft.Phone.BackgroundAudio.Interop.IAudioTrack.get_Duration()
   at Microsoft.Phone.BackgroundAudio.AudioTrack.get...

Which isn't helpful at all seeing how E_FAIL is an unspecified error.

I can send you the project to have a look, both my WP7 and WP8 ones. Still can't figure out how the WP8 one can work while the WP7 one doesn't when the code is exactly the same.

Generally, exceptions should not be ignored, so there is likely something wrong somewhere. Can you get the HResult from the COMException? It may shed some light on what is actually going on.

Unfortunately, there is no documentation at this time. However, you should be able to use the sample projects as a guide on how to integrate it with your application.

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate the code from this into my own WP7 app. I integrated it into a WP8 app earlier and was successful.

Currently, when I use WP8 to play a Shoutcast Stream, I see the following in output:

An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary
1:  OpenMediaAsync()
An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary

Followed by a whole bunch of Output showing the stream is working/decoding/playing, and the station starts playing. Since it works I don't care about the exceptions that occur.

However, when I use the WP7 app with what I believe to use the exact same code as my WP8 app, I am seeing in output:

An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary
An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary

But the station never plays, and nothing appears in Volume Control. No Output even shows up from AudioTrackStreamer/Shoutcast.Media.

I don't have much experience with debugging, so I'm not sure where the chain of events start but OnBeginStreaming is never called in the WP7 version of my app while it is called in the WP8 one.

I'd love if if someone could come and have a peek at my code or something and hopefully help me sort this out. It's especially weird since ShoutcastMSS is meant for WP7 >.<

Any help would be AWESOME.

Thanks.

New Post: A little help

solomo2k6 — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:11:36 GMT

Hi,

I downloaded this and ran the sample project with an Icecast stream. It worked perfectly. I just donno how to integrate this with my Windows Phone project. Should I add the dlls from the bin folder or the projects as a reference?

And how to pass the url to the Audio Playback agent.

If there is a documentation, please provide that.

Sorry, I am new to Development. A little help would be appreciated.

Thank You.

The link of the stream is;

Thanks for helping.

atoakley — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:50:17 GMT

Could you send me the link for the stream? There was originally an issue with the encoding, but I thought I had fixed it. The encoding is currently defaulting to UTF8, but if that doesn't work, then I should change it as a default.

If you want to build it yourself and debug the issue, the metadata is simply read out of the data stream in the ShoutcastStream.ReadOrPeekBuffer() method. If you find a fix, please post back so I can merge it into the project.

Thanks.

Thank you for this very beautifull project. But I have a question:

When playing a Dutch shoutcast-stream (World music) I get the following tracktitle:

Andy Harlow canta Johnny V�zquez - Ay Que Bueno

and this should be:

Andy Harlow canta Johnny Vázquez - Ay Que Bueno

Could you tell me if and where to change the encoding of the tracktitle. Thanks a lot.

I have just released the beta 2 version that has some changes that will play better with the background player, as well as a sample application showing how to use it. Check it out and let me know if you have any issues. :)

Hi, I'm trying to get this to stream in the background, could I take a look at someone's code to see how it can be done? Thanks.

I've got a simple background audio player i'll zip up and send you, my code isn't the best so don't laugh :)

atoakley — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:56:27 GMT

If you could send me your code, I could take a look. The documentation isn't great on how to properly implement a background player. I was hoping to release a sample background player with the Beta 2 version of the MSS. I have solved the disposing problem I think, but it causes other issues.

I put shoutcast stream source into a background audio player and audiostreamer agent and playback works great for the most part - always seems to be a little re-buffer after the first few seconds, but it works.

The problem i'm having is how to gracefully shutdown the stream when someone stops the track and wants to play again - play should re-buffer from beginning.. i seem to confuse the audio streamer / agent with what i'm doing currently so i was just wondering if anyone has any pointers on what to lookout for so that the background audio agent will stop and next .play() will reload/rebuffer
