[Q] Inbuilt Podcast app - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I add a RSS feed it gives the option for an inbuilt podcast app, but it is nowhere to be seen. It is not in my apps or part of the walkman app. When I access all apps from settings there is something there but no way to use or go to it. Is this a fault with the software?

Check movies app. I was able to add a podcast there. Removed it because I prefer pocket casts.
Hth

I know this is reviving a very old thread, but for newcomers, the podcast app is in the Music app as well for the Z3. Personally I find it to be nice and clean and have deleted Pocket Casts from my device in favor of the built in option.

My summary of Music Apps

As of Jan 3,2011...
If anyone can give information / review about how different apps save downloaded art, it would be very helpful. It seems that art can be embedded in ID3 tags, or it can have put in a folder. But different programs save in different folders or into an "album art" file...which may not be compatible with different programs. Also, how does iTunes, Winamp, and Windows Media handle this? (Ive used each for my music collection, and so may have different types of cover art formats in my collection)
12/28/2010 I didn't mean to start making this into a bigger post. But let me first say what I'm looking at/for:
Features I'm paying attention to:
headset control
Lock Screen and homepage widget
General UI ( and in particular, ease of getting from a "playlist" back to the "Now playing" quickly
Features which are sort of cool to me:
lyric display
Folder / File Organization
Album art (it would help me if someone could tell me about the different types and options here. ID3 mode? Files?
(and a distant fourth in importance) Video player
Equalizer (I don
't care about this but everyone else seems to be)
Features are just can't get myself to care about:
Scrobbing (whatever the hell that is)
Social stuff
Any damn fraking thing that statistically analyzes my preference in order to help me decide what I like. I don't want to robotize my music.
So this is what I have looked at so far:
Samsung Default:
Great Status bar and lock screen controls. headset controls. Has equalizer. NO Folder Select (it scans all music on the phone and so will get unintended stuff into the library). Nothing special other than this, but it a good app. HOWEVER, I'm now using Darky's ROM which does not have the Samsung Lock Screen. The Samsung player's lockscreen widget is tied to the Samsung lockscreen. Also does not have homescreen widget, but this is more than made up for by the very good notification bar integration.
Meridian:
Plays video and music. Headset controls but no lock screen. Good gesture control. Edit ID Tags
Cubed:
Video and Music. NIce Lockscreen widget. Headset controls. Art download in ID3 mode. However I still don't terribly like the interface, but it works. Has a directory filter , so can play just a folder and keep out unwanted songs (like game songs). Downloads art in ID3...method. Don't know if that's good or bad. There really is no "Now Playing" screen. It just shows it super-imposed on the song library. Which is not pretty but its actually functional. For me, Cubed is a good free app.
MixZing:
Plays music and video. Options up the yingyang, including lots of social crap. I'm not going to detail here because lockscreen version is a paid app, and I'm focusing on not paying (it does have trial period though). Good UI. Can do folder view, and has good folder management options. Can switch between folder list and now playing very quickly. Has headset controls. Has Equalizer. Auto-download album art. The free version is staying on my phone because it plays video. Lots of damn social crap.
Winamp:
Just plays Music. Interface easy, but maybe a little dull (maybe there are skinning options?). Has headset controls and lockscreen. Ability to look up info and search on the artist. Ability to syn with Winamp desktop, so a good choice if you use that. Some social crap. No Equalizer
DoubleTwist:
Looks a little like Winamp, but also plays video. Has Lockscreen wideget and headset controls. With $5 purchase can sync with Itunes. No equalizer.
UI is mostly good, if not exciting. Does not do folder view(!). Not that many options. If I wanted to use one player for both music and video, and have the lockscreen widget and handset controls, this definitly works. It also has art download, but that's not so important to me. I also use iTunes Agent to file-sync anyway.
Miui:
Bare basic player. No equalizer. No lockscreen widget. No headset controls. What this does have is a) art download , and most exciting b) lyric read-along. I intend to use this app just for my KTV practice, so it will stay on my phone
(but I recently discovered Lyrics App, which allows me to see Lyrics of everything).
PowerAmp:
This has everything. But the free version is 15 day trialware, and I don't want to go through it all here. One thing I remember about this is that it allows fine customization of its widget appearence.
TinyPlayer:
As the name implies, a small player with minimum bells and wistles. My device is an SGS which generally has an OK time with demanding applications, so this is not for me. But for those who want a simple bare-minimum player, this works.
......
Others have mentioned apps which I need to pay for to try, such as Lithium Player... apps which have a social network focus (Tunewiki), and apps that I need to flash (CW Mod). I'm sorry I cannot add these to this list now.
12/27/2010
I'm in China and sometimes the market is problematic (although I could just fix that with a VPN). When I can download again, I intend to note the features of :
btunes
Astro Player
TuneWiki
Also, I will re-download all the above (I just wiped-flash Darky's awesome ROM for my SGS) and go back over the others and note down features I missed.
Here is a pic of the homescreen widgets.
Widgets (from top to bottom):
Meridian
Cubed
MixZing
Winamp
Doubletwist
I'll never understand why people say they don't understand "cubed" interface. What's confusing about it? It's the same thing as scrolling through albums with a little animation. The new update gives you control over the directory files, so it's not like it's different then any other player. Do people really get that shocked when they see something that looks different but operates the exact same?
Just scroll up or down, man. You'll see the albums or artist (depending on how you choose) in ABC order. You want to skip to a different letter, scroll side to side. That's literally the entire learning curve. Don't like the cube? Change the view mode to Morph Flow. Don't like looking at albums? Change the view mode to boring, it just gives you a list.
The only thing I can possibly imagine people being slow to realize is that to change the place of a song, you click on the dotted light thing at the bottom. To change from artist to album to song you drag the dotted bar in the bottom-middle to the right or left.
This all took me less then 2 minutes to figure out.
poweramp = iTunes . I'm off it. same **** different skin. Cubed can scan all the bands in your library and tell you A) when their upcoming release is and B) the next time their playing a show within 50 miles of you (you can adjust the distance). Now THAT'S practical application.
I appreciate you putting this list together. It is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Hands down the best player is TINY PLAYER. It actually does REAL folder play like you're using windows explorer on your home computer.
Another great feature is the live font size option which lets me read long file names. Even Poweramp doesn't have that crucial feature. What good is it if I can't read what song it is. Especially true for Classical music with long file names.
PS - It is the ugliest ui ever tho lol. But I really don't care.
PS2 - Poweramp doesn't have everything. It lacks sleep timer and font size changing to read long file names. And no true folder play. Both of which are available in tiny player. and it is tiny at 64kb
I figured I would throw a few notes in the discussion about music players since music is a big part of my Android experience. I use two apps, one for playing music located on my phone, and another app for streaming from my home PC.
1) Mixing:
the main reason I bought this app was because of the lock screen abilities. Not only does it give you gesture commands from the lock screen, but it also has a setting that will make the lock screen come active for a few seconds each time a new song starts, showing the album art and song information. I like this a lot since it allows me to see what has just started playing, and mainly because it gives me a few seconds to skip the song if I do not like it ... instead of having to hit the power button first to activate the screen, like all the other music apps do ... it's one less step to distract you when driving. It is a small, nitch feature, but it is worth the money of the full version app for me. I have yet to find another music app that does this.
2) Audiogalaxy:
Hands down, this is the best app to use if you want to stream music from your home computer. This is great for people like me that have huge music libraries that will not fit on an SD card. All you have to do is download the app for your phone, install a small program on your PC, and sign up on their website. It is free, and it simply works with no hastles. I have tried many other apps that I could not get to work ... they all required me to **** around with ports and IP addresses, and I could not get any of them to work. Audiogalaxy was so easy my mom could do it. No screwing around with ports or IP's, just install, setup which folders you want to scan, and then wait for it to build your library. Great app!!
Hopefully Mixzing adds streaming ability into its code so I can just use one music app. Until then I will continue to use these two apps together. Together they make for an awesome music experience on the Android phone.
hi, nice list for reference.
just a quick note from me, i'm using miui and the lockscreen and heatset controls works on cm6 which has those tweaks modded on.

I guess I should say I like "folder view". Or just Song List. I have a lot of songs from independents, songs un-attributed in the tags, songs from Chinese artists, etc. So I don't want to go to an Album or Artist, but rather to a folder. I'm sorry...I did not know the correct terminology.
As for internet-related content, you may have seen I call that stuff "social crap". I have no idea what scrobbing is. The artists don't come to China. And even if I was in the US, I really could not care to share my music tastes with others... let everyone find their own muse.

Oh. Sounds cool. I don't want to have to flash something just to get that function though. But having lyrics is fun.

I'm just focusing on Apps that I can use outside. But thanks for those comments. Does AudioGalaxy allow non-streaming, regular functionality? FYI some of the other players above (I think Meridian) also have streaming, but I didn't review this because its not something I look for. I need to update for this feature I guess.
I will now download tinyplayer and add this to the review. I also hope to download (from somewhere) the stock Android player.
Right now probably Doubletwist will be my main player, only because its a music and video player that has lockscreen widget and headset controls. OR I will try to reinstall the Galaxy SGS player (which is uninstalled after flashing Darky's ROM). Funny thing is Doubletwist's main sell-point is iPhone integration, and I don't care enough about that to purchase it.
If I was going to spend money (which I may just do), then Mixing is the best of what I have reviewed so far. I don't know if its worth $5 for now.
I personally use 2 music players
1 standard CyanogenMod player
2 Lithium player
I normally do this because I will have music on lithium, and podcast download through methods other than my podcast player in t he CM music player.
since nobody mentioned lithium and it's a pay app I would mention a few things..
Pro: Looks great, UI is great and has nice things like volume built in, multi-colors/customizations and the #1 reason I bought it is it grabs album art for with a few clicks!
Cons: The ui for FF/RW skips to big of a segment in a 2 hour, or 2 hour podcast (not a big deal, it's a music player not a podcast player) and one semi-major issue for me is the program NEVER shows up in tasks (holding home), or previously used programs (etc). For some reason android doesn't recognize it as a program and the CM lockscreen music controls don't work for it.
To me the pro's outweigh the cons so I purchased it even if just for the album grabber.
I still really like bTunes.
I know it's abandonware, but it's only $1.49.
Looks like the iPod player (may be a good thing or a bad thing), it's very simple to use, it has a nice widget and even though it hasn't been updated in some time, it works great on froyo and never crashes on my phone. I don't think it has an equalizer.
TuneWiki is my fave, actually one of my fave Android apps.
Music Player Pro is still the best for me, I wish PowerAmp gets some of MPP features to use only one.
Thanks for the comments about the apps you tested
Tinyplayer for me on the Inc. Half the players can't find the built in memory. Most of the others can't restrict themselves to a folder so a bunch of sound files that aren't music and belong to games.

I'm looking at Mort Player now and it also does folder selection but has a lot more options, (headset control for one)
I'm still using the basic player ...
I've tried some of the more robust apps, but damn if they don't chew up a bunch of runtime memory, causing lag. I'd like an equalizer, but I don't want all the extra garbage that comes with an app, when I don't need it.
Have gone through various music players but Power Amp is the best it's worth paying for in the market.
Rockbox is absolutely the best choice. Equalizer, actual playlist support, themes, lockscreen controls, and plays every codec at the highest quality you throw at it. Just missing widgets, but it's a little buggy at the moment and it's still early in development.
i think u forgot TTPOD
A nice feature is if it is compatible with Last.FM scrobble apps
Nice summary atm i use Winamp becausr it has a esay ui and i love the shoutcast Radio Feature but maybe i switch to Double Twist because of the wifi sync i dont know yet...

I will check it out. Widgets is a must-have for me, unless it also has a status bar control option (which is even better than widgets.

I tend to agree, but I'm not sure how much money I want to spend on my phone. Part of me wants to get an iPhone and never have to fudge around with settings and roms again. Part of me hates the iPhone because I can't do with it what I want. So I'm trying not to invest more money in my phone unless I get something really really must-have. As the default player with the SGS is good (and now can use it with Darky's ROM), I'm good.

RSS Podcast Downloader?

I'm looking for an app that you give it an RSS feed (ie http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=500005 ) and it would download the latest mp3 to a specified folder. Does an app like this exist?
I don't want a full podcast app because I want to use MortPlayer to play the audio files, not an all-in-one downloader/player app. I tried CarCast but I find not being able to change the seek time extremely frustrating. With MortPlayer, I can do that, as well as use the buttons on my bluetooth headset, etc, and a lot of other features.
Anyway, does such an app exist? A simple RSS mp3 downloader?
(A shell script that I can run via GScript would be fine as well.)
Google listen? Let it download for you, then play from the cache folder.

I think you missed the second paragraph above?
To clarify, I used Listen for months but I can't stand that it puts the feeds in my Google Reader. I only get podcasts from a few RSS feeds for my morning drive to work, and the feeds keep updating all day, every day, even on weekends. So to have the feeds cluttering up my Google Reader, which I use very frequently, was extremely annoying. I don't need to have the feeds updating constantly since I only use them once per day, especially the NPR Hourly Summary, which happens 168 times per week. That's why I switched to CarCast, so the feeds are out of my Google Reader.
I'm basically looking for an app (or a shell script), where I can click a single button and it would download the latest mp3 to /sdcard/downloads.
Is there anything out there that will achieve this simple purpose?
Then I can use MortPlayer to play them, which comes with a whole ton of other features that no other podcast app can provide, such as having a widget on my lockscreen, etc.

[Q] [REQ] [CM Sync] Windows/MAC program to Sync with CyanogenMOD (like iTunes)

I have been diggin into xda to see what I could do about syncing my nedia into my device using itunes or something like that and found this post:
scottietohottie said:
I like the sound of this.
there are lots of people who slate iTunes, but after having an iPhone and moving to Android. I would suggest that people have not used iTunes fully. My wish list
Program
Links to podcasts (text, mp3 and video)
Option to auto download podcasts as above
Integrated music player
Integrated music ripper
Folder updater for album art, meta data etc
Integrated video player
Integrated video ripper
Plug phone in
Option to auto start a program
Option to auto sync
Option to auto check for update
So far if I want an auto sync comparable to iTunes I need a music client, video client podcast client and for backups, I need to root my phone and do it on my phone.
It is easier to have these clients on my phone but still not as easy.
Cyanogen mod do have an updates button in the settings. This could be given a short cut on the home screen. One click (check), one click accept. Phone auto reboots and updates. I believe this is only set up for release candidates though.
The confirm bit on cwm. in the clock work mod folder add a file called
.noconfirm
if I remember correctly this gets rid of the multiple no, no, no, no etc.

What do you guys think about that? Any developer could explain if is possible and viable? I really like to keep my library in order, with album art, songs named correctly, etc and it could be awesome to just sync a Playlist from iTunes into the phone and keep it synced everytime i plugin the phone.
The steps would be like that:
Open iTunes and set your library up with covers and music info
Create a new playlist with all the music you want into your CyanogenMOD Android Device
Open the CM Sync (name sugestion) and select which (one or more) playlist you want to keep synced into your device
Let it sync and we are done.
CM Sync could have more option too, for example:
Auto updater for official supported phones using the built-in updater script of CyanogenMOD;
Organize launcher icons
Simple video converter to make sure you dont put a video with more pixels than you have on your phone
(Can you guys make more suggestions?)

[Q] App idea: Soundhound integration

Hi,
Casio's new GShock-GBA400 model watch is able to record music sample and query it from Soundhound app on the phone. Then it returns the result from app on the watch's LCS screen as song title.
The watch is communicating with the Android phone through bluetooth.
I believe this could be achieveable with our beloved Gear 2.
Any developer who could do this ? I'd gladly pay for such app.
any ideas?
is it possible ?
with the soundhound widget and Wearable Widgets app, I was able to do this. Of course it does not use the mic on Gear,instead uses the mic of the phone. But better than nothing.
I use AppLauncher and then added Shazam to the list. In Shazam, there's an option to enable the app to listen right after its been opened. Works great
A new app got posted today called Gearam Music ID - works great and seems to use the watch mic instead of opening an app on the phone. Bonus is you can immediately play to Google Music if you subscribe.

yes, I saw and tried that. Good one.
But personally I would prefer Soundhound. Because Gearam has a smaller DB (imho) , its recognition is not that well.

I used to have Gearam Music ID installed on my watch, but I just bought a new phone and had do a factory reset on the watch when pairing them up. I want to reinstall Gearam but I can't find it in the store anymore! Does anybody have an apk for it?

[Q] PVStar+ Pro missing from Google Play Store? Anyone know why?

I'm not even sure if this is the right section to ask in, I've never really left my specific device forums before but here goes!
So I just upgraded from a Sammy S3 to a Nexus 6 and I had a paid app called PVStar+ Pro on my S3. It lefts you play Youtube video's while having the screen off unlike that POS Google Youtube app!
So I setup my new Nexus 6 and I just realized it's not here on this phone. So I checked my apps on the market, nope. So I copied my APK off my S3 over and but it doesn't seem to work right. I can't search videos. For example, I've searched Tiesto, Hardwell, the Wonderland Music Festival etc and it comes back with zero results. Plus I don't think it's fully PRO.
I tried checking out the home page of the dev but it's all in Japanese so I shot them an email and so far no reply.
One of my favorite apps! Just wondering if anyone knows WHAT happened to it? Even Google searching brings up nothing.
I have the same problem. My PVstar+ didnt show any search results what so ever, so I thought thay I might need uninstall/install it, but after I uninstalled it I noticed that it was missing from google store. After a while I found the .apk file on another site but the problem with the search results remain.
Too bad, this was my favourite player.

Howw exactly can google remove it from devices? I saw other youtube background players are still there... anyway good job of it's true... no one will buy their service and probably use itunes instead. Really smart.

Its not that hard, They even did it awhile ago when an app was found to have a virus built in.

This was awhile ago but just a proof of it does happen. I am not saying they will just that they could.
No chance on the Itunes bit. Most wont even come close to wanting that POS software on their system.

Is it just on my device or the PVSTAR+ youtube search doesn't come up with any search results anymore? (when searching for a youtube video inside the app I mean)
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Try using the "Video search" button in the main screen. Be warned that Google can break search on Youtube remotely on any app – they routinely do it for old Youtube .apk's so you can't use them anymore.
I believe nothing new happenned in this case? I loved PVSTAR, so maybe there's some info from devs? Any homepage I can visit?
Thanks, and sorry for digging that up
I like PVStar+ cause its the only Youtube streamer I could find that 1) doesn't require me to log in to Youtube and 2) will keep playing in the background even when you X out and go to the desktop. The only problem is once you go to the desktop you can't go BACK to the app without making the video you're streaming start over from the beginning.
But yeah I haven't been able to find another Youtube streamer like this, so I'm sticking with this for now. Already saved the APK if I switch device (rooted with Titanium Backup).
Hi, I have noticed that pvstar+ is in the Amazon appstore and it is updated to 2.6.2 version, while my installed version is 2.5.11, probably the last that was available on the play store.
How can I install the new version from Amazon without lose all the cached music?
Fun on the appstore
Hi, I came to have the same problem as you guys, not finding the pvstar app anywhere on the playstore. But looking at other similar apps, the recent updates had the users mad because they couldn't listen to music in the background as well.
This is not one singular occurrence and I'd love to write one angry email, but I don't know where to send one...
This is a low blow.
Pvstar+ pro version, difference from free version?
updated below with answer to own question
The Pvstar+ which is free on Amazon app store in version 2.6.2, how does that differ from the donation "pro" version that was available from play (last version 2.5.9)? Did the regular non-pro version from play display ads? I don't remember it doing so, but I bought the pro very shortly after finding out about the app. The Amazon version does not display ads from what I've seen, and both amazon's 2.6.2 and 2.5.9 pro from play can still do background streaming.
Was pro just a support the developer thing with identical functioning as the free version? Cached copies of their respective play store pages don't seem to be available so no help there.
There was this issue with many videos not being played at all by pvstar+ before, possibly all videos that were only available in. FLV format from Youtube.
Pvstar+ is perhaps only a frontend in app format for the streaming site at http://sp.pvstar.dooga.org since the app needs to connect to pvstar.dooga.com to be able to play anything not in your devices local cache.
The developer does not seem to answer emails. Someone who is fluent in Japanese could give it a try to see if there are any answers to be had from the official source.
