brofix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yeah, because it is also trying to organize it, too, so it included the long name twice. I'd recommend dropping %album%\ from the organization format ("Folder structure"); not much point in putting it in a folder named for the album when the album is also in the name of the file. True, but it won't be in that folder for long. I'd like the file to be folder independent, as it were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZigZagJoe Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 True, but it won't be in that folder for long. I'd like the file to be folder independent, as it were. Yeah, so no point in putting it in that folder to begin with. (I meant remove %album% from the folder organization format, not the name format) Strict duplicate checking would actually be faster, as it simply does : bool exists = File.Exists(fullFilename + ".mp3") || File.Exists(fullFilename + ".mp4") || File.Exists(fullFilename + ".wma"); instead of doing a check on each filename in the folder and seeing if each file's name's words matches the possible name. It's more or less just as functional as the normal check, but i specified it now as it is not affected by the problem. (Actually, i thought of a way i can enhance that check to be extension-independent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brofix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 So since the reload feature doesn't work with the mini player (for my vista; and the maxi doesn't work with turbo, or rip any way) I'm getting timed out, can you allow reloads of panora with the mini player?

Yeah, I changed that in the fix for the url with cmd=tuner in it. But if the normal player is not ripping normally but the mini one is, something is wrong. Do you have a log of what is happening or ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brofix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yeah, I changed that in the fix for the url with cmd=tuner in it. Oh, so that's the mini url? Do you have a log of what is happening or ...?

ZigZagJoe Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 what exactly happens when you try to use the big tuner? any specific messages, or..? and cmd=tuner was another way to use the big tuner, i just have it look for cmd= in the url now so it will do both the mini tuner and the big one.

brofix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 what exactly happens when you try to use the big tuner? any specific messages, or..? Music plays, though PS is set to turbo rip. Logs mute.

ZigZagJoe Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Music plays, though PS is set to turbo rip. Logs mute. Will retry shortly to see exact log activity. Hmm. I assume you are using the same browser for the mini tuner and the normal one? Do you see the requests in SProxy? I can only guess that something is not set up right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brofix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 This is all IE / Vista. I'll try ff. I don't have ff on this machine yet. Nothing shows in SP logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZigZagJoe Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 This is all IE / Vista. I'll try ff. I don't have ff on this machine yet. Nothing shows in SP logs. Hmm, are you restarting IE between launching SProxy? i find that it doesn't check its settings unless you open a new window (closing any already open). Which might be why the mini-tuner is working - it launches a new window which updates its settings. Try launching SProxy first, then opening IE. The same goes for when you close sproxy, IE won't go back to normal (no proxy mode) until you close all existing windows.

Razor512 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is there a way to make it not automatically rip songs that you give a thumbs ui, since it already has the download button in the page it causes duplicates to form and ruins playlist in windows media player since it automatically scans the folder also for version 1.007 is there a way to give the user the option to disable the feature in simple proxy in which it will automatically change proxy settings in IE many applications get their connections settings from IE and it can slow them down if they have to go through the proxy and it can also stop all connections if the app crashes, in which case IE will still be using the proxy settings even though there is no proxy server running (this will also cause a connection failure to any program that gets it's connections from IE ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misc notes: I've finished setting up a firefox portable for use with this. Going to release it with the new version hopefully later tonight.

brofix Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 ZZj - I'm sure you have plenty of bugs in your bonnet, but.... will you be please revisiting the conversion / mp3 encoding? Playing mp4s on the 'puter is good, fine and dandy and if mp4 is the native file format of Pandora then perhaps it is one end of that fine story (for the time being). Converting post PS I've found to be time and resource intensive (via Wiki linked ConvertMP4toMP3.com - which seemed to otherwise do a good job: file sizes were about the same) and I was hoping you could get the hiccups / problems with encoding in PS in turbo mode worked out.

It's not a problem, per se... it's just that data comes in faster than your computer could ever hope to simultaneously re-encode it. Hence bad things will happen once the amount of songs to be processed passes the max to keep queued (really, i haven't the faintest what would happen - completely undefined). Eventually, perhaps, I will make a helper program or some such to help with re-encoding, but atm I don't see it happening. It's still going to be resource intensive, either way. Test, 123.

Razor512 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 even if it is set to not automatically download if you rate a song thumbs up it will automatically download it regardless of if you already have the song or not, even if it overwrites the current one or if you have the song somewhere else on your pc, it will cause duplicates and it will cause windows media player to add multiple copies of the same song to the library the only way for pandora to learn your style of music is to rate songs, but you don't want it downloading songs you already have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii Guy Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hey ZZJ: I thot I'd give blacklisting a try. There are just over 5k songs in my list, and it's just artist and song title - no directories - so it's pretty clean. As soon as I started up, looks like the first 2 songs went turbo-mode, but from then on turbo mode shut down. It's playing the songs like it was meant to do. Here's a log capture. Song in blue is where it went slow-mo; also note that it didn't process the song. Blacklist.txt: error at line 5244 'The specified directory or file was not found.'

All-in-one magical re-encoders rather scare me tbh. I tried an auto-tagger once, and i still have the scars. Development note. New core finished.

Now Vista/FF/turbo. Changing stations ineffective. What do you see in the logs for both SP and PandoraSaver? You might attach a screen of SProxy's window while you load pandora, and this problem occurs. And, what is your connection like? (but, i'm assuming that is not a problem otherwise you would have mentioned it earlier...) Odd. You could try low-bandwith mode and see if that makes any difference at all. Also, minimize to tray seems to be having .NET failures from time to time - 25% or so chance of something going belly up and making it hairball. Is odd. Think i found it, however.
