New PodTrapper Beta (2.5.5)

New postby marwatk on Sat Nov 28, 2009 1:49 pm

Another day another stab at eliminating as much of the built in code as possible. This release adds an internal buffer to prevent SD card hiccups and threading issues from causing issues with playback (it should stream right over them). Let me know how it goes.

Grab it here.

No issues with 2.5.5 so far. I used to try to download new episodes while playing queued ones back. It used to generate frequent SD card errors. I'm talking many versions back here. So I ended up setting PT to only download when Charging and Not Playing.

Seems I need to revisit the possibility of "simulcasting". I'll let ya know how that works out.

Cool. This version has a ~100k buffer at all times, and it attempt to silently reopen the files when it needs to without letting the player suspect anything is up, so hopefully it'll be more robust. I found a bug in it, though, so I'll be releasing 2.5.6 later, but let me know if you run in to anything in the mean time.

Problem here. Listened to 2 mp3 type podcasts OK. Then moved on to a new one (also mp3) and PT would not play it. Would not play anything. Battery pull. Reopen PT, still won't play anything. Then Uncaught Exception error 198 PodTrapper not responding and the OS killed it. Tried to run it again and it will not play anything still.

Update.Deleted a couple of podcasts after listening using BBMP. Did another battery pull. Seems to be working properly again.

My guess is it choked trying to start one of these podcasts and wouldn't let go of it. But I could be wrong ...
