URL-Link on the Desktop - MX Player

Hi,
I want to have a link to a radiostation (sorry, I'm not allowed to post the URL, it is an mp3-file) on the desktop (homescreen) and when I klick on this link I want, that MX plays it. I can open this URL direct in MX, but I can not find how I can create such a link. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Magistus...
PS: Sorry for my bad english!

Unfortunately, MX Player doesn't have any desktop widgets.
However, you could probably simulate what you want by using Tasker and creating a Tasker process + widget, and using Tasker to access teh MX Player API (here: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/api )

If MX Player is able to parse the link then it's likely able to be set as default for it, say if you'd be using the share button for it.
If you're able to open the link with MX Player, you could probably use a custom launcher to make the link a shortcut on your homescreen and use MX Player as default to open it.
I couldn't recommend you a specific launcher for this, I don't use one at the moment. 4 years ago I was doing something similar using LauncherPro, but I'm not sure that's maintained anymore. I'm sure many launchers have built off LauncherPro's source though so I'm sure there'll be a good, free launcher available that does this.

Are there any music search and download apps?

Sorry guys, been searching and browsing but cannot find the answer to my question. I am coming back to WinMo after a couple years on Android and on Android there were market apps called iMusic, Music Tao, Music Online, etc. which would allow you to search for songs and stream them or download locally as MP3. Are there any similar apps that have both of these options?
There are programs that read torrentfiles, since providing illegal content is...well, illegal, I won't provide the name here, but I guarantee you that a simple google will do the trick
Also, if you're searching for 1 song, instead of an entire CD: prostopleer.com
Don't mind the Russian language, just fill in the title of the song in the searchbar, hit enter and press download.
--> If this is considered not allowed on this site, please just delete this post, or notify me and I will do so
Thanks for the response. I am open to free, or paid (alternatives to Amazon MP3 app), so I don't see why it would be a problem to share info on the apps that are out there.
no download, but worth to take a look at

Nanogroove in fact downloads the last heard song. You can find it in the root of the SDCard --> groovy.mp3. Just rename it and store it somewhere else. And voila you got the song you just streamed in quiet good quality (128/192kbps).
nanoGroove is amazing...my g0d..is all i can say
I like this russian site prostopleer dot com
seems to work on my hd2 but yes it's only in russian but it's easy to figure out. just type the name and search...
you can use SciLor's GrooveMobile v7 to stream music (not download)
found it here:
h**p://hd2apps.blogspot.com/2010/04/htc-hd2-apps-scilors-groovemobile-alpha.html
how do you use nano? i can't get anything to play or download on my hd2. do you have to go somewhere else to listen to the music it downloads ?

You always need the newest Version IMEDIATELY when it is released (at the moment 1.06) otherwise you wont be able to access grooveshark. Maybe you got an old one running....
I have both nanogroove and scilors groove mobile and scilors gm downloader.
Nanogroove is not a downloader but each song that is streamed is saved on the phone SD card as groovy.mp3. So I simply rename the file and voila, I have the mp3.
Scilor's is much better. Although the interface is bad imo. The streaming app is separate from the downloader. The downloader worked for me. I haven't used it in a while so I don't know if things have changed. search for Scilor's here or google.
Go to HD2 apps blog for the nanogroove. I am too lazy to post the links but if google gives you a bunch of hits just search for hd2apps on facebook.

Android Has This, Does WM???

When I had the drois I had a subscription with an app/service called JETFLICKS. I no longer have the droid so I'm not able to STREAM the tv shows. With the droid on android I simply clicked on the link and the OS opened up the player and streamed the show!
The only way I'm able to watch the tv shows with my hd2 is like this:
1- copy and paste the url link and paste it to wm player.
2- click the link and opera lets me download the show (dont like/want that).
I'm able to go to jetflicks.mobi on my browser and login. BUT, I want to be able to click the title of the show and for my hd2 to open the player and STREAM the show. Is this to much to ask on WM??
I tried associating everything to TCPMP and no dice.
Any suggestions on how I can amke this happen? Will the paid version of coreplayer do it?

Interesting, Mine never did that. But what I really want is to just click the link and than the stream starts. Someone has to make an app for this!

Now I flashed my rom with artemis V10 but it still don't open streaming media automaticly so i gues it was a mistake of the rom?
i dont have any experience in this, maybe you can give me a way of testing this without a subcription to this site i.e. a different site and i will test it out. but on CleanEX DsE v5, there is an app with the windows media player icon, that is called "streaming media". maybe that is the answer?

[Feature Request] Change HTTP User-Agent

Please, change the HTTP User-Agent to something less malware-like than a space.
MX Player would be fine or maybe just Linux/Android for some obscurity.
This could be easily done and it would prevent us getting blocked by some sites/CDNs and even false IDS alerts.

MX Player uses Linux/Android style and MX Player/<version> style user agent.
But ads network may use different value. I will check it out.
Thanks

I don't think it's the ads network:
Code:
GET./480p/{file}.mp4.HTTP/1.1
.User-Agent:.
.Accept:.*/*
.Range:.bytes=36151293-
.Connection:.close
.Host:.{domain}
.Icy-MetaData:.1
I tap on a video link in the browser and open it in MX Player, so I'm not starting anything directly.
Also I don't think Chrome proxies the request (like ES File Exp.) but even if it does it would use it's own UA.
Thanks.

[Q] How do I download Youtube videos ?

I used to have the initial MX player and was able to use it alongside the Youtube downloader to download and then later watch Youtube videos when I had no signal (which happens alot)
Then they redid the MX player and suddenly I can't download anything to it, I can play the stuff I had previously downloaded fine; I can even delete stuff from that past list. But I can't add new stuff to it.
What am I doing wrong here? I find it hard to believe that they'd update the MX player and make it worse/uunusable. I've sent request after request to the app developers but have heard nothing back. If anyone has anyanswers ir suggestions I'd be really greatful
Thanks
I think downloading youtube videos is not enterily legal, many app got removed from google play because of that.
m.tubemate.net
Out of scope of this app IMHO, for download YT videos use this app: YouTube Downloader.
MX Player itself has nothing to do with downloading anything. MX merely just plays whatever is given to it. Downloading YouTube videos is of questionnable legality, so we'll not discuss it further here. If you have problems with whatever app is doing that, you should talk to them.
I use two workarounds. You may try one if you like.
1. Change youtube to youtubepaw.com, for example, https://www.youtubepaw.com/the-link-of-video.
2. Try using this free YouTube downloader. It's workable on both desktop and mobile.

Can you recommend me an ap for searching full url?

Hey guys, I need a little help. First apologize my english. So.. To my problem..
I have Video DownloadHelper in Firefox (on notebook) and I use it to find full url of streaming video and then use the url in vlc player. And my problem is that I need an android app, which can do the same like Video DownloadHelper (show me full url adress of streaming video). The addons doesn't work in firefox in my phone so I'm looking for some app which can do it. Any ideas??
Thank you for replies
Have a nice day
