Thanks for the example MP3. The reason why TuneNet couldn't read it was I have only implemented ID3 V2.3 tags (the most common type), your file is of type ID3 V2.2.

After reading up on the spec of the earlier version I've now updated my TAG reading program and version 2.2 is now supported as well - see my debug output below.

Expect 2.2 tag support in the next version of TN. You'll notice that embedded pics are also read in, but I can't guarentee TN will support them just yet.

Cheers,
Paul.

@Rudei

Please use 84.84 - it fixed some horrible crash related bugs.

New "preview" version will be available at the end of May, with the first incarnation of the full sized skinable Interface.

Cheers,
Bean.

@nubechecorre

I have this on my list of things to clear up before the next release.

Thanks for reporting it though.

Cheers,
Bean.

At all costs, and from past history, you would have thought everyone involved would try to avoid this situation if they wanted to save what little is now left.

It amazes me after everything that the Amiga has gone through that we are back in court again.

Perhaps it is creating history just for the hell of it, I don't know, perhaps in the hope of releasing it all in some future book:

"The plummet after the fall of Commodore".

Incredible.

Hi,

Only idv3.2 MP3 tags are supported currently in the MP3 replayer for TuneNet. Is it all iTunes MP3 files which cause problems, or just some that are not being displayed?

Also as Curty said can you give me more info on what the problem is. Do you get any detail at all, is it in the wrong place, etc..?

I remember having to put in a work around in my code to decode iTunes MP3 tags correctly, as certain versions of iTunes screwed up idv3.2 format.

Cheers,
Bean.

P.S. For anyone that is interested the next version is on the road to completion, see www.tunenet.co.uk (by end of May).

256 Meg - Works well.

- Edit - It's actually a 9250 though!

@orgin

Very cool.

:)

@Outcast

After the skinnable GUI is complete I'll have no excuse but to finish the mic plugin! With the next versions additional Audio routines (completed) this should be a whole lot easier. Sorry for the wait on this. ...though you do realise that after the mic plugin is done I'll need to add a sound compressor plugin as well before it can be properly used for broadcast.

Time is a little short at the moment - but things are progressing.

Cheers,
Bean.

Thanks Mason. The images are great as always!

@Mikey_C

Well I'm interested, but it would have to be on a weekend!

I can think of some others that may like to attend as well.

Cheers,
Bean.

@Chris,

I've finally fixed the playlist scrambled song name problem that was particularly apparent with short datatype samples. Not only does it make it look better, but it finally means the song database can be shared properly between TuneNet's different tasks - IE: not bodged anymore and improves stability further!

@All (that's interested )

I've also fixed a brain dead issue I had with deleting items from a playlist or clearing playlists, so hopefully no more problems there now which some people reported.

The next release will feature a skinnable interface (though not all features will be present just yet) + the usual round of bug fixes. I'm currently looking at a March release.

Cheers,
Bean.

P.S. Yes, AHI Units 0-3 are supported as well as the music unit now.

This is what I'd like to see:

1/ A media library.
2/ DSP plugin support.

Oh, and hurry up with the skinable interface and AHI unit 0-3 output!

Cheers,
Bean.

P.S. That TN developer, whoever he is, sure is slack eh!

. Ahem - seriously now:

@Raziel,

The output ENV var should have a limit of 250 characters, if you have it outputting to the OS4 screen bar can you check if it's not a limitation set by WB?

Cheers,
Bean.

@Mason

Excellent high quality work as always!

That task bar gets the thumbs up as well - is that really AmiDock??

Cheers,
Bean.

@afxgroup

This looks excellent!

To anyone with OS4. If you only donate to one development project I urge you to donate to this one.

Having apps like this (and the Gimp (which you can download from OS4 Depot already)) that will run on a seperate screen is priceless.

Ok, a version that opens up on Workbench would be the icing on the cake, but it's only a screen away.

Cheers,
Bean.

Not unless it is other developers who pick it up. ..but you have to start somewhere. If hardware was available you will get some curious types who will purchase and start to write/port apps for OS4. I'm sure there are a fair few developers who'd like to have a play with OS4 (The SDK with OS4 is pretty strong).

Then there are the people that missed out on OS4 the first time round, who will want to run some of existing software on it: Hollywood, Audio Evolution, Perfect Paint for example.

..or perhaps they'll be a few people who will want to just mess around with it - if it was cheap enough.

All I know is you can't get any further with it unless people are given the chance to run it, and in the short term that means new hardware.

Hi Rudei,

The Amiga has lacked many years of application development whilst trying to rebuild itself again.

There are some interesting projects around, but I think the main problem is that we all lack time and there are only a small number of developers around.

Hardware and to grow the user base is the way to cure this.

Cheers,
Bean.

@Snuffy,

Ah well, I ended up coding the request in the end.
Unit 0 mode is in and working (as well as the standard Music Unit). This will mean you can use it with other apps without it locking the audio device without any special device drivers. I'll probably release it tomorrow night after testing.

Cheers,
Bean.

@Snuffy

Hey there.

What SZAMAN described was a bug I fixed in the latest service release. What you are talking about is the fact that TuneNet uses the Music unit directly.


To get round this you can install the "Device" audio driver. From this archive:

http://os4depot.net/index.php?functio ... ile=audio/misc/ahiusr.lha

Copy just the "DEVICE" audio driver to devs:audiomodes

...and copy the "device.audio" to devs:ahi.

No need to copy anything else.

Reboot and select the Device 0 driver in TuneNet.

..and that's it.

One day I'll change TuneNet to uses Unit 0 directly as well, but for the moment I've got too many other things on my plate.

Cheers,
Bean.

Thanks! That OS it's running on is pretty neat too!

Ah - that's good news! I can image it will take some considerable time, but I look forward to hearing more about it in the future.

Window borders aside we've got some great effects you can do within the skin, especially with the overlay of ARGB layers. And the best bit is it's all described in an easy to use XML file format.

I'll post more shots as we go.

Bean.
