Hi. I really love the combo of player + commander. It gives me a uniform UI regardless of network streaming service together with a almost prompt playback. The commander is sometimes slow to connect, though.
I am wishing that no user intervention should be necessary if the behavior can be configured. I would like it to work like the following: 1. When the reception goes bad (player detecting this situation when playback empties the buffer and network connection is not able to keep up): Player pauses the stream + perhaps give some notification (like vibrating). 2. When in bad conditions, player monitors reception and perhaps signal strength if possible to assess the current network condition. When fine, streaming is resumed. I as user, can be able to set my conditions in a coarse manner. This would be for me when the modem indicates UMTS coverage (3G is displayed with at least one bar on signal strength) or when I am connected to WLAN. But actually, point 2 there should on a phone with a decent modem be handled as the opposite of point 1, meaning that the player can detect if the network connection delivers data at a rate greater than the stream bit rate. And that the rate has been stable for like 5 seconds or so. This could be done automatically. Because while running or biking in the Swedish forest I do not want to stop to check the phone. I would be happy to help out here in any way I can. But a good step forward would be to make the player responsive from the commander when the buffer goes low. I realize that if network situation has gone really bad, the commands might not be able to transmit? Or, I do not know how the player control works, but are the commands proxied by mysb.com? I am working in mobile telephony with some Android experiences as well, so I might be able to help out or contribute. Thank you. -- undret ------------------------------------------------------------------------ undret's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31038 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
