PSPRadio 0.1a WIP

I'm releasing what I have right now, so people can give it a try. It's a WORK IN PROGRESS, keep that in mind.

One of the problems it has right now, is that it can get stuck in a socket connection (recv or connect) if there's a network problem. I'll need to use setsockopt() to setup the socket for timeouts.. But the options are not part of the SDK.

I've been looking at NetBSD's sources, I think I'll borrow the socket header files from them..

    chris: Thanks!.
    I will be releasing the source shortly.
    I use subversion for revision control, but I don't think it'd be a good idea to direct people to my home apache server. If someone can provide hosting, It'd be appreciated.

    curious: Glad to been able to save you -240 bucks!
    2-votes for streaming enhancements so far
    0-for local playback.. (I coded the local playback more than anything to test the code (decoder, threading priorities, etc))..
    1-save live stream to ms (hadn't thought of that! that's an idea...
    1-metadata display (I've been investigating this, and I should be able to get it working no prob).
    --As far as "bookmarks" go I think support for playlists should cover that, don't you agree? I have support for v1 playlists already working.
    1-vote for GUI enhancing - by using skins. (I've been thinking about this too, maybe supporting winamp's or xmms format).
    1-shoutcast stream browser
    I have also thought about the possibility of video streaming, it's definitely on the back burner..

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    curious:
    -Thanks for pointing that out. I knew that it shouldn't work, but I never really tried it. Could you point me to a stream at 22k? (I need to do 1:2 downsampling, and 1:4 for 11k streams) It shouldn't be to bad to get done, though.
    But that is correct, right now, PSPRadio only supports 44KHz streams...

    tech3099: thanks for the compliments. Remember that the project is in alpha stage, and it may not work with newer shoutcast servers, though.. let me know...

    Gary13579: Thanks!

    I'll be sure to release the sources soon, so people can start adding "plugins" or extra features; this sounds like an excellent idea for a side-project.

    Yatahaze: Thank you!!,
    Yes, this goes along with what gary was saying. I'm sure it could be done; but I'll concentrate on the core application, and leave it up to the community to do enhancements like this..
    I don't personally run a shoutcast server, but I perfectly see how this would be useful.
    If nobody does this, I'll think about doing it myself, but again, I'll give priority to the other issues people are asking for.

    BTW, if anybody knows about a subversion hosting service, something like sourceforge, let me know, maybe I'll put all my sources available to the world like that; that should encourage other developers to help too.

    Thank you for your work! This looks promising. :) I hope the next version will feature a selection system, so you can have settings for more than one radio station in the config file. Shouldn't be too hard to fix, right? :) Make the app useful first, iron the bugs out later. The more handy it is, the more people will use it. And more users (hopefully) means more good bug reports. :D I'm rooting for you anyways.

    >How do you use this v1 playlists feature?
    This is not in the current version; it will be in the next version. (.pls support).


    Anderskotten:
    Thanks!
    Yeah, the next ver will have playlist support. No browsing yet, but you'll be able to "navigate" by using L and R shoulder buttons.

    >1 vote for stream browing! plus a vote for video streaming :D
    Got it! Thanks..
