HTTP MP3 Streaming

Hey guys,
I have my own HTTP MP3 Server set up that I would like to access remotely. The thing is, I use GSPlayer to copy and paste the link to stream the MP3, but is there some kind of plugin that when I click on the song it will automatically start streaming it. I pretty much would like to see something like the way YouTube works with TCPMP except with MP3s. Any ideas?

I think WMP should work, but EDGE is to slow for steaming media in my area, so I'm not 100% positive. However, when I open up my copy of TCPMP and look under file associations, there is an "HTTP Protocol" Try disabling GSPlayer, and going to the URL of your server in PIE, I beleive TCPMP should open right up and just start playing/

It doesn't. It asks me if I want to save it. I just want to stream it. I'm on Sprint's EVDO with my Mogul and YouTube works flawlessly when I stream it. All I need to see is if there's a plug-in that will force IE or Opera to launch the URL in GSPlayer or TCPMP. I've tried searching all over, but I can't seem to find anything.

Hmm, that's interesting. Could you post the link so that we can try on our devices and see what happens?

Just try to go to any site that has an MP3 file there and see if it will ask you to save it or not. I don't want to post my HTTP File Server up here for everyone to access.

bump.. does anyone know of any RSS MP3 Players? I have some XMLs generated for those.

bump again

I believe SPB Insight has the ability to download podcasts OTA.

But it doesn't support MP3s.

bump.. to the top! Is this impossible as of now? I didn't think it would be since there's a YouTube plug-in.

hello.........?

Streaming from PC about home network

Hi,
I want have access with my vox (WM6.5 from FB) to my notebook via WLAN and network to get files or listen music (e.g. streaming mp3s with TCPMP). Is there a way to realize ?
After short google investigation I found Resco Explorer for PPC to get access to files on notebook. But smartphone version hasn't that feature.
Any idea?
Regards Odiad

you could try to stream music and videos with vlc player.
if tcmp doesn't work, maybe HTC Streaming Media Player will.

Hi Klownk,
thanks for the hint. If I am try to use HTC streaming..... and I go to "Connect" I have to fill an adress. Can you support me how to fill in:
Example:
Notebook name (in windows): Notebook
IP in private network: 192.168.1.105
Music is in: C:\Music\....... (many subfolders with music files /mp3/WMA)
Networkname (SSID): Odiadnetz
So how to fill in into adressbar of HTC-Tool ? And do I have to fill in every path of each song ? Or is there a way to browse in my music folder structure?
Or can I use the tool only for streaming in www ?
Thanks in advance
Odiad

Conduits PocketPlayer can receive (and even send!) streams. It detects available servers via UPNP. You need to have a mediaserver installed on the PC. I did this once to see if it works (it does) but I don't remember which mediaserver performed best. See http://www.conduits.com/community/forum_topics.asp?FID=19

[GUIDE] Adding Custom URLs and Recording in TuneIn Radio Pro

The latest version of TuneIn Radio Pro now supports custom URLs allowing you to add stations which are restricted from TuneIn (if you have the stream URL) or stations which don’t have an Android app. Since TuneIn Radio Pro can also record, this means you can now easily record from custom URLs.
Adding Custom URLs
While it can be done directly from the Android app, it can also be done by logging in to your account from the TuneIn website and adding your stream URL there.
Adding iHeartRadio URLs (Method May Stop Working Someday)
If you want to record a station which is only listed on iHeartRadio, you can bypass the restriction by adding it as a custom URL in TuneIn. Open the station’s stream on the iHeartRadio website from your computer. In the address bar there will be 4 numbers at the end, copy those. For example the address for Hot 107.9 is http://www.iheart.com/live/HOT-1079-1545 where “1545” is what we want. Now enter http://www.iheart.com/a/live/station/1545 in your address bar substituting 1545 for the 4 digit number of your station. This will bring up some plain text, find and copy the URL next to “shoutcast_url”. This URL has forward slashes that need to be removed (leave the backslashes) or else it won’t work. Once that is done the URL can be added to TuneIn from their website. If you want to test the URL before adding it, try it in VLC Player.
Adding Other URLs
If you want to grab the stream URL for something else, you can sometimes find the URL by monitoring incoming traffic using either HTTPFox on Firefox or the network tab in Developer Tools in Chrome. Then either look for a URL that resembles a stream or a URL which continues to download even after the stream has been playing. This can be seen in HTTPFox when the Received value keeps growing and in Developer Tools in Chrome when a URL’s timeline bar keeps extending. Not all streams are easy to grab this way.
Listening to Recorded Audio Elsewhere
While it is quite easy to record and playback audio from within TuneIn, say you want to move the file to your desktop or play it outside of TuneIn. The recorded files are stored under /sdcard/TuneIn Radio without a file extension. They will be in whatever extension the recorded stream was using, usually .aac or .mp3. On Android BSPlayer Free was able to play recordings without a file extension. Other apps may work, but many refuse to play a file with no extension. On the desktop VLC will play recordings, but only if the appropriate extension is added back to the file name.

[Feature Request] SMB Share / Network Folders

Hello,
I have a few questions, I hope some one can answer them.
I would like to know if it is possible to set a video folder that is on a network or a web site. I have all my DVDs copied onto my server and would like to access them from my devices.
When I try to add a folder, via settings, it will not show me a network. If I go to Network stream I have to type in the complete url to the file its self for it to play.
Example: 13.125.44.133:4040/movies/61/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob
I would like to be able to see the directory with the list of folders that the movies are in and then select the folder and have the app play the movie.
Example:
Movies/
61
2012
After Earth
....

Maybe the only way to access to this folders its using a file explorer with the capabilities of accessing to network folders.

I was able to locate the file, like you suggested. I am using ES File Explore, it allowed me to save the path and also associate the vob files with MX Player. So now I have one more question. When I ripped my DVD's, they are just like on the DVD. There is 4 or 5 vob files numbered 1, 2, 3... When I select the first vob file and it plays to the end it goes back to the ES File Explore app and does not continue on to the second vob file. Is there a switch so that it will do this or will it just not do this?

MX Player currently has no built-in SMB share support. External apps like ES File Explorer only pass 1 file URI at a time to MX.
This has been previously requested before. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/nYpihpAVJq0/discussion
It's already on the feature requests list. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297

i see that there is a "back to list" i uncheck this and it went to the next file, seam to work.

Interesting, I didn't think that they would have changed so quickly to passing all the URIs in the folder. Well, good to see that you found a solution.

Related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/bug-report-video-button-lan-mounted-t2967882
An amendment to what I said above; MX still doesn't receive all the URIs, but rather does predictive requests based on filename, as a quickfix to this issue.

I use ES file explorer to do this, you can 'save' the location as a shortcut to the desktop of your device (long press on the folder, select save to desktop)
There are currently a few bugs with this in the latest version which i have my own thread about, subtitles dont load and some videos require software playback to prevent audio going out of sync but it works and works well in general.

Anyone using this feature could tell me how it works when there are 2 files - video and subtitles?

If the directory listing is enabled on the host, MX Player can get the list of files. So, it will automatically load the subtitle as we. Else, MX Player will try to get the subtitle by assumption (by just replacing video extension with subtitle extensions). But, it doesn't work everywhere.
So, it's better to enable directory listing if you are using a local server.

How can I save a rtsp url on MXPlayer as favourite?

Hi, I'm having a strange problem on MX player for Android TV, I typed an rtsp url (working) but I'm not able to save it (!), can't add to favourites, can't save it as m3u and open it opening the m3u file.
Nobody thought here to add a way to save an url? Shoudl I type it manually each time? urgh..

I hope someone may help me understand, thanks

anyone can help here? thanks

- any working playlist file format?
- any way to create an icon that may open MXplayer with url as parameter?

What happens when you try to open the url via browser?

Hi, I?m glad somebody answered me, I've tried to contact MX player's develpments in all ways possible.
SIncerely I don't understand the question, why this shoudl be useful? Browser is not supposed to open an rtsp:// url..
I'm looking for a way to add URL to MX Player favouires (to open it quickly) or open a playlist file containgin rtsp that MX can support.
Thans for answering me

I ask because if your browser is able to bind the MIME type/protocol to an application of your choosing — and assuming MX Player shows up as an available option to default to — then at the very least you could save it as a bookmark, with which you can then create a widget. This doesn't give in-app access, but it beats having to type in the address at least? You can also utilize some other application that gives an overlay button, or perhaps bind to a hardkey/hotkey/quick settings tile? Just some ideas off the top of my head. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for your kind help, I'm not sure I understood perfectly you message, are you suggesting the browser as the only way to open Mx player as embedded with the URL? ANd the second part of message is about create a shortcut/widget/overlay button on the home to start browser with that favourite/url to open enbedded MX Player?
Looks a bit complicated but maybe I can try.. which browser can do that?
PS: I still shocked MX Player doesn't give any support to playlist neither save favourites..
