New release
1.18.1377 (2007-04-02)

OK guys, here's the bug-fix release that I've worked on since the release last week.

Get here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=166538

Changelog:

1.18.1377 (2007-04-02)
NEW FEATURES
(raf) TextUI: Msgbox now goes away after 3sec (not based on frames rendered anymore, but time).
(raf) Core: (Supported by TextUI) Framerate configuration file is now set globally in PSPRadio.cfg (PLUGINS:DISPLAY_FPS)
(raf) TextUI: Now uses GU more; which reduces flickering and improves framerate.
(raf) TextUI: Cleaned up the way stream time and info is displayed while on fullscreen visualization mode.
BUG FIXES
(raf) Core: PSPRadio would crash on startup if the visualizer plugin was disabled.
(raf) Core: PSPRadio would crash on startup if the SHOUTcast database (newdb.xml) file was empty.
(raf) TextUI: Corrected problem where PSPRadio would crash when downloading the SHOUTcast database. (The problem was caused by lack of complete support for values -1 and -2 in the configuration files after the TextUI rendering changes.
(raf) TextUI: Corrected problem that caused a crash when switching from TextUI3d to TextUI.
(raf) Core: Corrected problem that caused a crash on restore from suspend mode when the wifi was enabled. Now it will also resume play.
(raf) Core: Disabled UI rendering while shutting down; this makes sure the "shutting down" screen is not drawn over.
KNOWN BUGS
(raf) TextUI: When switching skins all the text will disappear. This happens on occasion. Just move up or down for the text to re-render.
OE related Problems on this release
(raf) Core: Static IP connections don't work correctly. Seems the gateway is not used as it should. (Also, make sure CPU speed is 222 when establishing a WiFi connection). Possible solution, if you have a proxy server in your network, set it up in PSPRadio.cfg. A static IP may work then. (This is untested).

woohoo great! I love PSPRadio, and each new preliminary release is great!

Ok tested, can't connect to WiFi/USB when in GAME310 folder, but works fine in GAME150 folder. I'm using 3.10 OE A2. Otherwise everything is great thanks!

Thanks for all the new features this remains one of the best PSP apps out there. Hats off to Raf, HalfastII, sandberg, albadross, danzel, jpfouch48 and whoever else has been involved in this successful project for the scene.

I've had this issue with a few of my streams since before development resumed on this project again this year. I have a couple of streams that used to work flawlessly on older versions and still do my PC but with newer version they give me timeout errors. Can this period be increased so that it has a chance to connect before showing the error? I have tested this on a lot of connections and its always the same streams that timeout. On the PC it generally takes 1-2 seconds before they start playing unlike most of the stations listed on the shoutcast top 20 page which play instantaneously on the PC with my 5Mbit Cable connection. When you find some time please look into this. Cheers

Porkape,

I'm no expert in these matters but I have seen your posts about this.

So I thought I would try a quick test of my own.

How are you actually trying to access these stations? Via the Shoutcast system?

I thought I would set up a quick playlist of my own to access the particular radio station you mention as follows -:

Thanks for looking into this. I enter the URL in Winamp then save it as pls in the playlists folder on the PSP. All my pls streams work that way except for some including the one that for works for you now. Weird, Wild Stuff this, I probably missed out something if it works for you. How did you put the stream url/pls in? I have tried several clean installs and no luck, I am running PSPradio from GAME310 and using 222MHz for CPU. What settings are you using? This station is not from the Shoutcast database but from the CrystalOne webpage which used to work on PSPRadio but not anymore. How do I take screenshots like the ones above? I'm posting the log below for when the errors occur.

What's New for PSPRadio
========================
1.xx.xxxx (2007-04-xx)
*NEW FEATURES*
(raf) Core: Updated visualizer plugin interface to level 2. Cleaned-up, reorganized fields, and added gu support. (Also added exclusive mode, and song information to plugin).
(raf) TextUI3D: Added wait for VBlank before page flipping, this eliminates tearing; but reduces framerate because the render thread also waits for vblank; need to optimize.
(raf) TextUI3D: Added complete support for visualizers (just like TextUI).
(raf) Core: Using Alexander Berl (a.k.a. Raphael) routines for VRAM allocation.
(raf) VIS: Added a cube visualizer, displays a scope on every side.
(raf) VIS: Interface changed. Now plugin gets notified when song starts/stops/pauses. Also, now the plugin can request song information.
(raf) VIS: Visualizers can now run in exclusive mode. Added support to TextUI and TextUI3D, and sample code to the repository.
*BUG FIXES*
(raf) Core: Fixed an old bug where if a song had no metadata (like an old MP3 without ID3 info), the metadata would be populated from the currently highlighted song.
(raf) TextUI: Fixed crash that could be caused if switching screens (START) while starting a plugin (specially a visualizer).
(raf) TextUI: Don't go to fullscreen if no visualizer loaded.
(raf) TextUI3D: Don't go to fullscreen if no visualizer loaded.

Edit: I also uploaded another visualizer VIS_CubeExcl.prx. This one will render correctly on the 3dui, as it uses exclusive mode.. But because of the same, the plugin is responsible of printing song information; and this one won't.
