New PodTrapper Release (2.6.7)

[marwatk]

Hi all,

I finally pulled the trigger on a new production release: 2.6.7.

You can download it here: http://ota.versatilemonkey.com/podtrapper/

I've throttled the update notification to 5% to limit the amount of people getting the upgrade notice, so if you haven't been notified yet that's why (during any update check you have a 5% chance of being notified of the new version)

For those that haven't been keeping up with the betas, here's the complete changelog from 2.5.0 grouped by category:

Major new features:
* Support for corporate editions and branding
* Can now bookmark any folder to the main screen via the 'Add to Home Screen' menu item
* Support for all media controls (wired and Bluetooth) on OS 5.0
* Customizable download settings per-podcast

Minor new features:
* Altered itunes impersonation to allow downloads of itunesU
* Setting to have update check look for betas instead of release versions
* Better handling of media that the device can't seek through
* Throttle download manager to not respond to every network event (was causing battery issues on some phones)
* Ability to distinguish between feed updates and episode downloads in download settings
* Ability to override an individual download's download settings in the download manager
* New 'buffered playback' setting in Playback settings can help CDMA devices
* Configurable download types per-podcast (filter for video, audio, other)
* Allow for streaming playback with new media file loader
* Don't ask this again for setting permissions (Choose 'No' when it asks) (to overcome OS 5.0 bug)

Bug fixes:
* Fix for downloading via apple servers that don't support an end range greater than the file size
* Cancelling a confirmation for "Play Next (Delete)" no longer skips to next episode
* Fix issue with a single press media key press registering as two
* Fixed download queue continously attempting when out of coverage
* Fixed 'Move to Top' in download queue only moving to second place
* Prevent main screen from scrolling errantly
* Fixed saying 'no' to discard partial download wouldn't queue the download
* Better handle file i/o discrepencies
* Better handling of resumed files (less corruption?)
* Cancelled downloads now properly remove from the download queue display
* Don't display storm popup if we're not in compat mode
* Attempt to auto-detect when buffered playback can't work on a device
* Fixed convenience key handling on OS 5.0
* Don't force an update when connecting to desktop downloader if updates are allowed over cellular
* Overriding download settings should also override download while charging
* Make delete episode/podcast button default to 'cancel'
* Ready w/Eps doesn't always see new eps when they're finished downloading
* If we're doing a restartable playback, don't display error until second try
* Fixed storm issue seeking back to session start after interuption
* Fixed: Bookmarks weren't properly backed up
* Fixed: Some playlists may not have backed up properly
* Fixed issue with invalid redirect size causing Not Enough space messages
* Automatically resume playback after 2 seconds if we stop unexpectedly
* Fixed: Playing a file while downloading will delete it if you get to the end
* Content type 'audio/audible' should save as .aa (though still can't be played because of DRM)
* Prefer desktop usb over all other methods
* Enable cell downloads by default
* Support relative redirects
* Fixed M4V video files only playing audio
* Fixed: Playlist not always saved quickly enough to avoid losing data during battery pull
* Fix episodes deleted even if they're playing when new episodes are downloaded
* Prevent errant content types from preventing playback on valid media
* Revamped media engine to better handle file system interruptions
* Switch to alerting only when queue is empty and we have a new download, not after each download
* Run on startup will now continually check for SD card availability instead of prompting
* Fixed small memory leak
* Cleaned up some unnecessary garbage creation
* Fixed focus bug on OS 5.0
* Fixed: Focus convenience keys are not avoiding main conv key action
* Fixed: Deleting doesn't stop playback
* Log most audio path changes
* Fixed: Left convenience key not working when pearl flip closed posting.php?mode=reply&f=3&t=757
* Downloads must fail over a 3 day period to permanently fail

Thanks!

Let me know if you run into any issues. Still only a couple of hundred users on it, so I'm waiting for a shoe to drop

I've been using for a couple of days on an AT&T Bold. No issues; seems rock solid to me.

[DanLongman]

Been using it for a few days, working great on my curve
Thanks for all the amazing work!
by far my number one BB app

Seems to work on my Storm2. Thanks for the great work Marcus!

For the record, just wanted to say good job. It's working like a champ so far on my Bold 9000 with OS v5.0.0.411 on AT&T..

Thanks for the great work!

Uh-oh, am I the only one having troupble with v. 2.5.7? I love PodTrapper; thanks for the great application. I am running PodTrapper on my BlackBerry 8330. I installed the update per instructions yesterday (made sure I exited PodTrapper, rebooted after the installation and again today just for good measure). It seemed to go smoothly, no error messages, but now the play command does not work with either the button or the space bar. I can fast forward, rewind, etc. but cannot play. Its not a matter of no sound...the progress bar does not advance. When I push play a little pause symbol appears in the upper left corner, and then won't go away no matter what I do.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting PodTrapper working again, I really miss it already!

If you exit podtrapper (Menu->Exit) and open it back up again, does it play?

Hi pcatsos,

Can you check and see if "Buffer Playback" on the "Playback Settings" screen is turned on? If so, turn it off and see if that helps. Let me know if not.

Hey Marcus...your app is the coolest thing on my BB Bold 9700. Thanks for your amazing work. Now I just need to buy a bigger MicroSC card! I just bought the app after 3 days on the trial version, so it is your latest update...all features go and podcasts flowing smoothly. Thanks and All the Best. Cy

Buffer playback is set to "no". Still having the same problem. I had it working again after doing a battery pull, if that's any clue, but eventually the problem comes back.

No, this doesn't help.

No, this doesn't help.

Can you send me a copy of your logs? (Via the 'Email Developer' menu item)
