ti-audioplayer

btw: I have not documented any of all this fully yet.

I built these out of sheer and utter frustration at how old and 'different to each other' the current versions are in Titanium. I also built them to provide some parity between the APIs.

The current Titanium AudioPlayer is still based on Matt Gallagher's AudioStreamer which is nearly a decade old!! And also AVPlayer since arrived on iOS since then, for a long time! (The Java version is very similar to the Titanium version. )

I used them for the AmazingRadio apps. These have live streaming and remote url tunes, playlists etc, with seeking:

• iOS: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazingradio/id476404037?ls=1&mt=8

• Android : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.amazingmedia.radio1

Soon these two modules will have the same module ID. (Studio is a pain when trying to create dual platform modules.)

NOTE: The iOS version also has some extra features, such as responding to the lockscreen remote controller and the ability to set the lockscreen now playing info (NB: Image MUST be cached locally first for lockscreen use).

ti-audioplayer's Issues

Seeking

Hi,

is it possible to seek remote audio sources?

Improvements to standard player?

OK, more events. But why did you developed? In any cases a good work, not tested yet.

PS I'm missing getSessionId() for controling virtualizer

Stopp player when phone call

Hi.
Great job. Im new for appcelerator and have two questions.
1- How to stop the palyer when phone call
2- when I play audio and starts another app and go back to player-app it starts a new player session and bath are playing.

Live streaming VS remote audio files

Im testing Android player with two files:
remote audio : https://kosso.co.uk/stuff/kozcar1.mp3
and live streaming : http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_radio2_mf_p
The module plays both great and everything works but when i put the application in background (shout down screen or open another app) the remote file continues playing until the end but live streaming stops after 50- 60 seconds.

setting buffer time

I've noticed android buffering quite a bit and taking a fair amount of time, I'm going to start digging around. Any ideas if there is a way of setting a buffering value ?

Android playback rate - half or double 1x speed

Strange speed rate differences - currently, android is playing back the remote mp3 at half the normal rate. As I implement my Common JS interface into my app I will try and unravel the differences.

Android onInfo Unknown media issue ERRORS

Got the android playback working ! finally 😄 - however in the app when an mp3 plays back I get alerts (as the player has an error event handler) and it fires 4/5 time with onInfo Unknown media.

I will have to suppress this... you seen it before?

android playback error

the module wont run on android using 6.0.1 / 6.0.3.GA - on Android 6.0 I get module errors in the playback.

I haven't got any deeper in the debugging - but have tried on gennymotion / device and siwtched SDKs so far.

I'm just using your iOS example code and switching between the modeuls with this:

var audioplayer = (OS_IOS)?require('com.kosso.audioplayerios'):require('com.kosso.audioplayerandroid');

using Alloy - to detect if iOS or not. The example code is your little example demo that was bundled in the ios module code. If I get any further info i'll post here.
