Hi guys, I'm glad to announce a Windows Phone port of PrBoom, called D00M (Di-zero-zero-Em)
This port supports all mods (original and custom wad files), supported by desktop PrBoom, i.e. original Doom demo, Doom.wad & Doom2.wad, Plutonia, TNT etc.
But store version came with FreeDoom.wad only (because of copyright limitation). Trial version has only one limitation: you can't add new wads to the game and should stay with FreeDoom.wad.
Here are working TNT & Plutiona mods (working with this PrBoom engine version):View attachment wads.zip
W10M store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh4rql0
WP81 store: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=a3ec4994-9f7c-438a-a12f-abb3c3542e87
Enjoy!
Work's fine.
Thanks
If i install Doom and Doom2, the saved games are stored in different files or the same?
On PC
if i launch Doom with "prboom-plus"
Play game and save game, saved games are stored in "prboom-plus-savegame0.dsg" and if i launch Doom2, go to "load saved games" Doom saved games appears in the list.
The only way i found is create a batch file who rename file before launch.
Hmm, very good question... I'll take a look and will apply a fix (if needed). Thanks a lot for testing and asking that kind of questions!
[UPDATE] It looks like game published in store has some problems with saving games; I'll try to fix it ASAP.
OK, I've fixed the bug (it was my fault, instead of "LocalState" save/load path was pointed to the app's install directory). Also, now games will be saved or loaded for the selected wad only so you may enjoy multi-wad game stage saving
P.S. Small tip from my experience: right after starting, game is kinda busy by loading and starting demo playback; from the user experience it may looks like "load" game is not working or failed. It's not true; give game engine a little rest (demo should start playing) and try to load saved game...
So, new version 1.2.0 is on the way to the store. BTW, now you may check an actual game version on the game's "help" page.
Thank you, Can you add Import and Export Saved Games on One Drive?
To play on my 830 and my 950XL.

Hmm, another good question What about synchronization via "RoamingFolder"? It's a built-in feature of WP8.1 and up. But in that case you must have the same LiveId on both handsets.
All my phones have the same LiveID
Hmm, unfortunately, MS limited roaming folder quota to 100K only; average doom save game file size is more than 100K Sorry, you should wait for another solution (maybe with OneDrive).
I just submitted update 1.4.0 to the store.
Changes:
game controls redesigned: right on-screen "joystick" replaced with tree buttons, one for run forward, and two for strafes. From the practice, instant action buttons are much more useful than triggering 'cause you don't need to synchronize both finger at the same time
added external (USB or BT) keyboard support
cheat codes now working
added ability to backup & restore saved games
joystick sensitivity control added
various bugs fixed
@titi66200, especially for your feature request, I've added ability to import/export saves. Unfortunately, standard folder picker dialog don't have an "OneDrive" location, just a device & sd-card (however, the file picker has this option; I can't completely understand m$ devs logic at all!) so you'll need an extra-step to synchronize saves between handsets. Maybe later I'll add zipping/unzipping all saves to one archive but for now it's OK.
Thank you sensboston. :good:
You're welcome! By the way, I have a question to you: could you please test updated controls on ultra violence complexity and tell me what do you think? Please check controls settings page, you may want to play with "sensitivity" setting...
I can't test now because crash of my 950 XL on update to last RS.
Reflashing my phone but now i must paid again D00M.
I am waiting if MS can solve my issue.
OK. If you want, I can send you a code. However latest game update still on certification, not published yet Hope, it will be published tomorrow.
Hi, I bought D00M and looking forward to play Plutonia.wad, but this wad and others can't load, because if I want start it (wad) D00M will shutdown. Only doom.wad (but shareware) is working. Please, help.
@Smog1995, I've added working freeware mods archive link to the first post. You may find a lil-bit more on the FP of Russian support forum (use Google translate)
On Lumia 1020 and Lumia 950 XL in 'Save Game' when I tap a name for the backup it shows twice the letter.
Ex:
Titi01
TTiittii0011
But not on the Lumia 830.
With the previous version this worked on my 3 Lumia.
Hmm, it's weird I tested on L-950 (official bits), L-635 (WP8.1) and emulator, everything is working fine (I've added external keyboard support and has "double chars" before releasing (SDL keyboard codes was submitted twice) but already implemented fix for 1.4.0 release (submitted to the store). Right now I've re-tested downloaded version on L-950 & L-635, looks good to me.
@titi66200, could you please try to re-install the game (just in case)? Unfortunately, I don't have 1020 or 950XL right now for tests (btw, what kind of OS bits are installed?)
Reinstalled and same thing.
Lumia 1020 OS Win10.0.14385.0
Lumia 950 XL OS Win10.0.14385.0
Lumia 830 OS Win10.0.10586.456

Yeah, kinda... Usually, I don't support "dev preview" (aka "tricky free m$ QA replacement") bits but will try to find a solution just for you. I don't promise anything; first I need to find a handset good for the Redstone build (I've sold good old ones L-920/925 on ebay and now have only cheap WPs in stock, like L-635, L-520 etc. excluding L-950 but I don't want to become a "free ms tester" at all, sorry!)

I work with my new software:
Chess Game SMS Edition.
It allows you to play the Chess via SMS from and between Phone Edition computers. The final version will allow you to play from Smartphone and desktop computers (via network and SMS gateway) too.
Why SMS Edition? Because it's cheap, time independent and useful.
Why "another" Chess Game? I could not found any good working Chess Game via TCP/IP or SMTP for mobile device. Any working on mobile computer. Any designed to play with friend - not with a machine. All available chess games work on mobile computer fine but only as chess engine - it's OK. But I want to play with my friend on the other side of the World. Some game try to do it via chess dedicated servers. But it's not work useful. And I do not want to give out too many dollars for my GPRS connection. SMS is fine.
This BETA will expire on the end of this year.
Pocket PC 2002, Windows Mobile 2003.
No Help, no descriptions, no web page, at this moment.
You can test and play on your own risk.
If you send me comment, improve idea or bug recognized, I will give you a final version when it will come. Well... first 10 persons I will.
Some Features:
- Play Chess Game
- Test the move availability and rules
- Test King's check
- Test capturing and castling
- Test pawn en passant capturing
- Various skins of table and pieces, incl. 3D figures
- Save the game file automatically
- Save games separated to the oponent's name and phone number
- Preview and replay any game step-by-step
- Send SMS with your move with/without additional comments
- Display some popup message when the new move arrived
- Start the program when the new move arrived
- The oponent's move (answer) is saved automatically in the background
- Quick-touch mode makes the move when you touch the target cell (no button request)
- Continuous Editing allow you to test engine move by move without SMS sending/receiving
- Basic sound announces

Please note: this program sends SMS message when you make your move with none additional message or ask. If you written correctly the oponent's phone number (when you started new game), it will send SMS right away. If you give response to the game began by someone, you don't need write phone numbers because it works automatically.
A short description: how to test the program via SMS gateway from web page (if your telephone operator allows you) is on Help file.
The Setup:
CHSMSBETA.zip
Email:
[email protected] with Subject: CHESS SMS EDITION
.
How it works?
I should explain one more.
There is two executable file:
CHESS GAME.exe is the main application and
GAMEENGINE.exe is the small engine to control SMS
the second file is opened/started automatically by the first main but not closed automatically when you close the first main application
AND it should be added to your Startup folder and runs after soft-reset
if you want to get your answer automatically when the main application is not running in some time
this small engine (15kB) controls SMS and connect the main application when the new move of the game arrived
it the BETA version you see both applications in your task manager (running process manager, for example PocketPlus) and there you can close both of them (this is only way because the engine has no interface)
in the final version the engine will not be visible and will work as hidden process
please redownload the setup, I fixed some poor 3D image, now the 3D view is:
the engine was built as the basic concept of my plan for more "sms-enabled" game in the future
What game would you want to see? Bridge, Otello? Let me know.
I think there is a lot of games who are fine to play message by message, time independently - opposite to the one-time fight.
Why SMS Edition? Because it's cheap, time independent and useful.

hhmmm sms is a pretty expensive way to sending data back and forth at least in most countrys where you have to pay for each sms not taking into acount how many letters are being sendt
unlike gprs where it's the data which deside the price
I agee.
BUT I think it is depend from what kind og game you want to play.
For example, I agree with friend that we have one day to the answer in Chess Game. In the average number of moves per game, for example 50, the game will go almost month and the cost of all SMS will around $1.5
How much do you pay by GPRS if you want to play one month?
As I tried to write, the sms-way of playing the game is a concept for some closed range of game types.
Of course the SMS way to play is not serious for games when you exchange lost of data and continuously, like role-play games, fights, simulators....
How much do you pay by GPRS if you want to play one month?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i suppose it comes down to the size of each packet
and how many packets are sendt during that month
because here i pay pr. MB when it comes to GPRS
UPDATED
I just updated the setup to the new.
A small fix.
In the previous version you had to use +XXXX format for phone/SMS numbers.
Now you can use your "network-depend" format. For some specified telecom network, users reported me they need 001XXXXXX format for exmample or even 01-XXX-XXXX format.
Now it works with that formats. ALthought I'm not sure if I know a whole World format and if this version will work in any/every Earth's position.

FAQ

NaviComputer website.
This program looks great!
Will there be any prepackaged maps for download? For Example, Canada, New York, London, Paris, France?
Great Tool, I like it really.
But some time the PC-Tool crash. After the next crash I will post the message.
@Maedhros
I think this is not easy, because the file for a whole country with every zoom level is a fat file (many GB great).
@NaviComputer
A great feature is a map update over the Smartphone (3G, WLAN, ...), or a auto download for missing tiles.
looks finger friendly... thanks for this
crash all the time...
Unfortunately the desktop software doesn't even want to start on Windows 7 x64:-( The process starts up, but UI never shows up:-(
P.S. Be careful with Google maps, caching their maps is against user agreement. Microsoft, however, allows it to some extend (though you have to get a Virtual Earth dev. license).
Very nice job, thanks for the hard work!
Hi,
here idea for a new feature.
A merge feature for the PC-Tool. So it is easy to download some segments and merge to one layer. I think this is not a great problem for the sqlite-DB that you are using as single file store, or?

I have downloaded maps of several European cities such as Rome, Valencia, Hamburg, Cannes,... all about 5-10MB. I usually use zoomlevels 10-15 for cities. Anyway, downloading your own maps only takes a few minutes (if you have broadband internet connection)
But some time the PC-Tool crash. After the next crash I will post the message.

Thanks for that idea. Indeed I will put that on my todo list. The PC Tool will need some work to be done anyway (also stability issues ...)
'NO dataplan needed'
That sounds great!
Will try.
THanks
The PC Tool isn't working on x64 Windows 7 installations. As mentioned before the process starts but somehow fails to initialize the user interface.
Thanks
Same as Terracrosser but according to the description and comments looks WAY BETTER and maybe even faster to download the maps. Good work
issues with x64 Windows 7 installations
The PC Tool isn't working on x64 Windows 7 installations. The UI never showed up and the CPU goes 100%. Otherwise the concept looks great.
I can confirm the win7 x64 problem tried running with all admin rights on and in xp and vista compatability modes. always uses 13% of my corei7 920 and about 28Meg ram.
I can also confirm the problem with Windows 7 x64 - the process starts, no program UI loads, and the navimapper process loads a single core to maximum.
A Help file will be great.
Nice looking application....
BUT..............
On my XDA orbit (QVGA wm6.1) the buttons look a little squashed... Also so few options!!!! would love to seem more, such as the ability to change coordinates to a user one or distance from Kilometers to miles and vice versa. And may be the ability to specify the gps port.
Also the pc app is a little slow and the PPC apps doesn't see the maps when downloaded and transfered to device(for me at least)

Ok guys, I will try to fix this Windows 7 issue. I hope I will find the problem (without actually having Win7)

Sorry, up to now there is no QVGA support. Maybe I'll add that in future but since I do only have VGA/WVGA devices I need more people to motivate me adding QVGA
More options will definately be added. Please notice this is first release version 0.5...

I'm going to add some FAQ here... Is there anything special which would like to be explained? I thought the PPC software is pretty much self explaining, however the map download procedure needs some more explanation. What do you think?
Ok.
I am closing in on an imaginary target release for this app. I keep saying it's coming... and it doesn't.
The app is 90% complete, maybe more, but i have been drag-assing. I dont have a XboX, or a job. But I have made a cardboard box that looks like XBox so i can play. I play picture in brain so now i am good gamer.

I guess i could look at the other current MMORPG and scout for victims.
At this point i bet this app is crazy cool or obsolete.
but stranger things have happened...
awesome... anxiously waiting
Name the Baby
Hi.
So I am picking up where I paused.
I am going to work on the buddy list storeage now. So we can add/remove buddys from our list.
I already got the import from WMLive app if anybody is using that.
I am putting out the call for testers and a web person to make the html part. If you like XBoX and want to "make the magic happen", please let me know.
Also I need a ini file from Amnaya Xbox app and the Buddy Alarm app if i am to make the import function for them as well... I guess I should make an export/sync option too so this app can manage any buddy list synchronizations between all the xbox apps.
I should have the XBoX tool ready shortly so we can all make feature requests...
And we need a name for this thing. Keep in mind that while XBox will have the most features we can access, this app will move on to Playstation Network next. So words like Buddy, Console, and Notifier are keywords.
So Battlefield Heroes can get player info from a id#...
http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/heroes/195095890
So can Team fortress 2...
awesome cant wait
sloppy-face
ok.
so i was hoping to use KVV HtmlToday to display info, but i can't seem to get the url working locally. No big deal. I am still messing with it but doesnt seem to be happenin.
I will code up the IE loading process and send it on out to the bunch of people who wanted to try it.
I wonder who is running what today screen?
WM6 titanium panels are going to be the most interesting.

Hi.
So I am working on the console app. Seems to work pretty good on the first test. IE pops open and zoop its gone.
The irony is i cant get activesync to connect. gotta find the IE cache and copy it to my storage card and then zip it up so i can get a good look at it.
then zoom i will have data.
I had to write the bluetooth sync Utility into my Mortifier app so i could update scripts.
OK.
Where was I?
I am working on this as we speak.
I am wondering about IE running in the background?
more soon.
Ok.
Here's the core of WmX.
XboX works completely.
PSN network is a few hurdles away from being ready.
I have questions.
Hurdle 1. My internet explorer will actually close if its in the background. Before it has downloaded the whole PSN page. Yet IE will sit in the foreground no problem
Two options: CBrunner.exe which works great to minimize IE, or just open IE with Mortscript and then switch to the today page. This should also work great, except for IE irregularities on the phone i am using with wm653.
It may be that only my phone's IE closes early. If you try it, whether through my app or on your own, if IE sits in the background and loads PSN no problem, then I can push forward.
I may wrestle with this some more this weekend.
Hurdle 2. If you had the PSN data what would you like to do wit it?
If you have titanium, a plugin could be made with the graphics and data from the web site. thats what i was going for.
this data could also be incorporated into a theme for mobile shell3 or iphonetoday or whatnot.
At some point i may pick up the xbox part and incorporate it into my StatusTicker app just for s&giggles.
If anyone wants to pick up the titanium plugin, let me know and i will help.
Hurdle 3. If we can get a KVV HtmlToday plugin that can show a web page from a local directory on the phone, we can have a WmX today plugin. I have asked the author if it is possible, but he may never respond... I know the @ sign has something to do with grabbing a file locally, but when i try @\Storage Card\WmX\Web\MyConsole.hml it doesnt work.
Enclosed is a complete directory of the XboX.mscr script, which does both, XBoX and PSN, you can just switch back and forth.
Also are the IE Cache files.

Thanks much.
I will try that!
KVV Html Today
Well whattaya know,
The today plugin works great with local html. Thanks much.
Let me just say what a big fan I am of KVV's work, not just his html today plugin, but darn near every one of his softwares is also excellent.
Here is a link to his site. (Google translate works great).
Well now that that hurdle is removed, I will press on and get the xbox Today panel fleshed out.
If people report that they dont have the same issues with IE closing prematurely, then the PSN part will proceed as well. I can mock it up using the cache files right now. Once you can see it in action you can tell me how much more effort to place in the Today page.
Thanks to KVV.
cant waitttt
Yeah this does sound like its gonna be pretty interesting. I have been looking for a way to monitor my XBL acct. I came from the iphone to the HD2. So dont let me down heh.
Hi.
So here is a better test version to mess with.
Most stuff works sorta, but this test is for PSN and running Internet Explorer to grab datas.
So if u view your PSN stats u can begin testing.
(Should say PSN actually)
If u want to test the non background version, run the no-cbr.mscr
if it seems stuck, run the wmxkill.mscr and u can test anew.
Next i will tidy up the xbox output and set it to work with kvv Today plugin.
Of course u can mess with the XboX buddy menus by switching to XboX from the Menu.
This version leaves all the debug stuff out and PSN isn't prematurely Exit'ed.
WARNING! THIS IS STILL IN ALPHA STAGES... (v0.2.1a)
And that's because I don't mean it to be a Tube8/porn viewer. It's going to be a video viewer for all types of websites. So until I get to that stage, alpha!
However, it's fully-functioning in the sense that you should be able to get to any movie on Tube8. There are some bugs... I'll list the ones I know below. You MUST follow the steps below to get this working.

STEP 1
This uses PYTHON! You must have PythonCE installed for this to work. I'll explain why in a second, but the link for pythonCE is here..
Get PythonCE
STEP 2
Install the CAB file below. (I'm crossing my fingers that it works ok.)
STEP 3
Copy the THREE .pyw files in the attached zip file to the /Program Files/Python25/Lib folder. (Unzip them!) These are crucial! (Some unzip programs will capitalize the file names. CHANGE THEM BACK to all lowercase if this happens. Python is case-sensitive and it's looking for these files with lower-case names.)
STEP 4
Have a video player set to open M3U files by default. I KNOW this works with CorePlayer. I'm not certain it works with TCPMP (maybe mine sucks ) For CorePlayer, it's not enough to just install it. You need to go into Tools->Settings... then select the page for Associations and check M3U.
One thing you WILL notice is that not all videos will play in CorePlayer. I can't figure out the reason, but some of the videos are encoded in VP6 (FLV4) and Coreplayer can't read them. However, a good two thirds of the videos do work... just keep trying.
OK, maybe you noticed that these python files are named XBMC. Well, my intention is to get most (or all) of the plugins that work for XBMC to work for my app which I think I'm going to name 2Kinetic - Mobile Video Viewer. So far, it should work with the Tube8 plugin. I did not write this plugin, and I would not normally package it with this app, but I'm still in testing mode so... hopefully I haven't stepped on anyone's toes.
You'll notice that PythonCE is a little slow... well, it is not super fast, but I think you'll be able to live with it if we can get everything else that XBMC does working on Windows Mobile. Besides, if PythonCE turns out to be incredibly useful on the WM platform, maybe someone will take it up again and put out a better (newer version).
Known bugs:
-Back button doesn't do what it should always
-If net connection is down, the program will crash
-Images don't show up on the initial screen unless you scroll down, then back up... or you wait until it finishes loading.
-Many more i'm sure...
To Do:
-Write a new class for displaying images and text... i'm currently using listview (small icons). This will let me display more data (vid length) and fix the image loading behavior.
-Speed everything up
-See if TCPMP will open HTTP addresses as streams from an *.M3U file (how 2Kinetic currently works)
-Make a nicer search page (the default one is ugly and not convenient at all)
Future:
-Get more plugins from XBMC to work
-Get a better overall video player to work flawlessly (maybe TCPMP)
-Get RTMP support worked into the program (on the way )
Good idea, thanks.
I've seen your post on WVD's thread. Maybe you're app could enable to the user to fix some html or others to make the app reworking when video-websites have changed. No?
I hope your app will be a "better and working" wvd soon.
If you need help, but only for a translation in french, i can help you.

I've got some ideas for that... like using an XML file containing regex expressions that will auto-update via web (or by hand). I really wanted to mimic how XBMC does it, but XBMC uses python and pythonCE is not perfect yet. I'm still thinking about it.

I speak French... but I don't know any technical French so maybe I'll ask for help
Ok, good idea. Do you think that in future your app may enable some "plugins" ? For exemple a dev' create a plugin (xml file) for a website like youtube, we put it in a folder, and it works. It's a good idea, to my mind.
(you speak french? Wow. )

In english please.
How does it crash? Do you have an error message/log?
Just so everyone knows... it will crash if there's no internet connection. It will also crash if tube8.com is unreachable. There is absolutely no error-handling in the program at all. There is no log file either.
I was hoping that someone would say, "Yes it works for me on GPRS."
I'll keep working on it anyways.
If you are having trouble saying what you want to say inEnglish, french is ok since I can understand you, but we all prefer english normally so that everyone can understand
BTW - YOU MUST HAVE NET CF 3.5 INSTALLED FOR IT TO WORK. I think most new roms come with it, so this shouldn't be a big issue, but just in case.
It worked great for me,I have the Sprint Touch Pro2 using stock ROM,no problem at all,thanks for your great work.
Were you using WiFi at the time or were you using the Sprint Network?

Both worked great.
DIAM500
Telus
It crashes for me, I believe its because its trying to save the file to "storage card" but as you may or may not no the DIAM500 only has internal memory no SD slot. Other wise it loaded fine and showed all the previews.
I've forgotten to say it, but it works for me too.
I use an acer tempo x960, with wifi.
For me it crashes when I press flv... If this app tries to save to the storage card that may be the issue in my case (maybe it's a regional or unicode issue... since in my localization the storage card folder is named "Cartão de memória".
PS: If you're going to add more sites I leave the same suggestion as I did for WVD: make your app scriptable in a similar way to PSP Tube (and its mods... here and here are some scripts that may help making the addition of some sites faster). In the long run this would require less (official) updates.

Yeah, it's hardcoded to go to "/storage card/" so it will crash if it's in another language or not there. Well, this was just a test to make sure those sites aren't doing anything other than checking the HTTP Headers for mobile devices.
As for scripting... I did not know that PSP Tube existed. I'll look into those... I was definitely going for a scripted version that others can contribute to since I don't want to be the one to fix it each time a site changes their format.
I'm still working on it...
And thanks for all the responses so far.

Good luck, i can't wait to test new version.
Good to know. Will keep an eye on development.
hey buddy, nice to see this.
i'm working on a similar app for android and started with tube8 too, cause it has easy accecable videos. Maybe we can share information how to extract the video infos.
I try to make my app pluginbased so that it is easy in the future to add new sites. I'm a android beginner (without my own device) so it takes some time.. but tube 8 works quit good at the moment.
P.S.: For android devices its important that the site has mp4 support so the sitesupport is very limited on android at the moment.
sxe: PM'd you...
Failed on GPRS when I clicked FLV...
WebException - Could not establish connection to network
I think I have everything working except for the Search function and the back button...
But the behavior so far:
1. You're presented with a series of menus
2. If you select Categories, it will show you a series of categories.
3. Otherwise, it will show you a list of videos with name and thumbnail.
4. Doubletap the video and it will open CorePlayer automatically and stream it. I had no slowdowns at all like I used to get with WVD and TCPMP (although I think that was TCPMP's fault and not WVD).
Ok, now all I have to do is fix the Search and Back buttons... then learn how to package this whole thing into a CAB file and I'll upload it for testing
Edit: Oh, and I need to put in a lot of error handling so that you guys can tell me what it says when there's an error
I was looking for a way to stream my media on the go. I tried VLC, but that was too buggy, orb was too slow and then I came across TVersity which works great.
You can access it with the webinterface when you are on the road. It works very good on the A101, but it is lacking some features. So I wondered if there is an apk available with some more features. If there isn't I think I am going to write one or adjust the webinterface.

I had some time this weekend and am almost done with writing my own app and webinterface for android to access the Tversity webserver.
If there is interest in this, I will develop it further, so that it is end user ready. If not I just fit it to my needs and I am done with it.
The program is a small apk that needs to be installed on the archos and some webfiles that needs to be copied to the server where Tversity is installed.
Maurice
I'm definitely interested!
me too on archos 10.1 and 7.0
love to get this app too
Nice work divx118!
Shame TVersity don't have a linux alternative. I do believe there is one in the works though, so I'll be keeping an eye on your project... if you undertake it that is.

Unfortunately there is indeed no linux or mac version available. For now it is windows only.
If I find some time next weekend I will see if I get a beta version ready no promisses though. For serving videos I have it almost ready. There are however some issues with streaming audio when you are not on the local network. With some files the music player on my 101 will crash. I think it is the long url that is the problem I had no time to investigate if this is indeed true. I myself will not use music streaming, but I see if it is possible to solve this.
For video files I have thumbnail support, with a work a round. It needs the thumbnail with the same name as your videofile in a folder where also my webcontrol will be.
If you however have XBMC installed it is just a few minutes work todo this. I am also looking if I can get it to work for the parent folders, now it is only working for the video files itself.
Maurice
very interested, i already use tversity for 360 streaming.
I'm interested also!
I'm interested as well...
I am still working on it. My free time is however limited. That is why it is taken so long. Atleast this weekend I have some time available.
A little update on what still needs to be done and what is ready before a first release:
1) creating the APK to install on your archos. This is ready and is working for videofiles streaming. TODO for the APK is cleaning up the code and put in some error catching. Also I still have to decide if I use a new intent to play audio files or integrate the mediaplayer in the apk. For videos I use a new intent, this means it will start the default videoplayer for playing your videofiles. For audio this didn't work so well in my testing.
For handling the pictures I decided to do that entirely in the webcontrol, which is much easier.
2) The webcontrol is also almost ready. TODO is integration of pictures viewing like a slideshow etc.
The features are pretty simple. You can add two urls in the apk one for if your are on your local network and on for when you are on the road. Further you can adjust the number of items that will be displayed in one view. I tested with 100 items and it was very fast.
You can choose between thumbnail view and listview for pictures and a seperate item view setting when in thumbnail view.
If you have anymore features that should be added you can just post a reply with your suggestions.
Maurice
thanks for this.
the default video player isn't cutting it for me.
Can't wait to test this out when it's released
ditto, can't wait to test it out!
Hi,
Try Qloud Video, it is same as 'AirVideo' on iPhone,
search it in market and you will surprise.
Leo
Any chance we can get a look at your current app? I am dying to get my hands on it. If not such is the way of life.
Interested, this would be awesome to have.
Just a little update:
Playing audio in the apk is ready. Audioplayer is pretty simple start, pause, next song, previous song and shuffle the playlist. You can also click on a song in the playlist. Only playing mp3 gives sometimes a scrambled output. It seems to be an archos issue.
You can use a horizontal swipe to switch between audioplayer and the webview.
I also want the same implementation for images, because displaying them in the webview is a bit slow. That is what I am working on right now.
Another feature I added is when rotating the archos the GUI rotates too.
However it still needs some work before a first release, it is the first time I code in java and on android. So I need todo some research to see how things are done. Also I don't want to release a version that only half works and then putting my time in answering questions "when do we get an update?", "Why doesn't the app work?" and so on.
Please be patient
The release will be in the near future, I guess I need a few more free weekends, maybe less to finish it.
Thanks to all for your interest.
