- Well, aside from the understanding that /bbb stands for BlackBerryBeta, most people who have a general understanding of version numbers would automatically assume that 1.3.1 is better then 1.3, since it is a higher release number. See what I'm getting at here? By having "b" in the build number, it's guaranteed that the terms "beta" is implied.11-04-10 02:14 PMLike 0
- I see that you are calling them 1.3b2 etc. but when you actually download the file it's still shown as 1.3.
It makes sense to leave the public builds as 1.3 1.4 1.5 etc. but it wouldn't hurt for beta to have 1.3.1 1.3.2 etc. and when it goes public, make it 1.4 or something.
It's just confusing, in my opinion. No big deal.11-04-10 02:39 PMLike 0 - Sorry guys, looks like there will be no quick audio output switching update. I was testing it today and although it seemed to work initially after more toggling back and forth I found it's quite unstable and ended up losing all sound on Storm2 in the end (for all apps even phone, which just confirms how fragile audio system is).11-04-10 02:52 PMLike 0
- Alex, I have downloaded Tunein Radio on my Curve 8330m running 4.5.0.186 and every station I try to stream is very choppy and unlistenable. I have tried various MP3 and AAC stations that I listen to and get the same result. I have tried various buffer settings and have had the Compress server responses checked and unchecked. I have tried both 1.3 and 1.3b2 with the same result. FWIW I don't have these problems with Wunder Radio but much prefer the UI for TuneIn, plus it seems that development of Wunder Radio has ceased for the Blackberry platform. Any chance that a future version of TuneIn will have better performance on the 8330m, or is the 8330m too low end as the performance does seem to be memory related.11-04-10 03:21 PMLike 0

- There is at least one more user of 8330 who reported similar issues. The device itself is powerful enough but apparently there is something in my code which doesn't play well with it. I have yet to figure out what is it, which is tricky without the device itself. Could you send the log (after you tried a few stations)? My e-mail at @gmail.com matches my username here. Thanks11-04-10 04:30 PMLike 0
- I thought about this too but then decided against it due to the same concerns JRSCCivic98 expressed and also because I'm too lazy to rebuild the app when it turns from beta into public release. I think I should probably add some kind of ever-incrementing build number, which is not tied to the version and will allow to precisely identify which code you are running.

I thought I've got that working but testing proved opposite so this feature is back to the lab.11-04-10 07:38 PMLike 0
- I have no trouble streaming 128k MP3 stations in my car using Wunder Radio on the 8330m. I think you still get 300-400K peak on EVDO Rev.0 which is more then enough bandwidth for most streaming audio. I would say that this 8330m is somewhat better for mobile streaming then my HTC Hero (which is EVDO Rev.A) is because the BB seems to hold on to weak signals better. Sprint is fine in my area (St. Louis). I think there is a bug with TuneIn Radio and the 83xx series. I'm going to guess since Alex has a Bold and a Storm 2 that he is on AT&T. The GSM 83xx series were just Edge which is just barely enough for 64k audio and not enough for 128k audio.

11-04-10 10:43 PMLike 0 - I've run into issues like this with the native media player on several BB models. Most notably, during several leaked versions of the Storm OS. Each time it was bogus code/bugs with the media player app and codec support that botched it. I have a feeling you might be experiencing the same issues here and it's not really the app's fault, but the OS version you're running.
Could you try this: Uninstall the app, do the battery pull, install, configure Storm2 mode and Automatic buffer and try these stations again. If still no luck please send the log from Settings (the link at the bottom). Add my address (my nickname here @gmail.com) to the recipients list to make sure I get it fast. Thanks!
Since you've added a bunch of features I've been able to find out that it seems my problem is that most of my local stations are streaming in Windows Media, which doesn't seem to play well with my Tour. The stations will buffer up to 100% for about a minute or so, and then I'll get "Stream error," "Media unloaded while initializing," "Empty or invalid playlist," or in one case "Server sent error code -107."
I did go ahead and send you the log as you asked. Still a great app though...thanks again for all the hard work you've put into it. I'll still be using it to hopefully find other cool stations to listen to!11-05-10 12:57 AMLike 0 - Sorry guys, looks like there will be no quick audio output switching update.

- Use yellow (or rather orange) >> marker instead of green for stations, which are potentially incompatible (= Windows Media-only stations on CDMA)

- As far as I know I'm running the most up-to-date version of the software for the Tour that VZW has released (v5.0.0.975, Bundle 1600 , Platform 4.2.0.424). I generally don't download any of the leaked OS updates, I only update my Tour when I get the email telling me the upgrade is available.11-05-10 11:25 AMLike 0
- The first beta build on 1.4 version is available at TuneIn Radio for Blackberry beta download Now I'm using the build number along with version number so it should be easy to identify different releases. No big changes but I'd want to get some feedback on it because the changes made touch the networking core, so big chances of screwing it up
- Simplified networking code, which helped 8330 users and doesn't seem to break it on my devices either. I really need to confirm it still works for other people and networks though.
- Added option to switch audio output. It will show up in the menu on Now playing screen when you play something and some kind of headset is connected.
- Cancel loading of additional stream urls for a station once one of them starts to play. Some stations offer 30+ streams and previuosly the app will check them all which might take non-trivial time and interfere with the playback if the connection speed is barely sufficient to play the stream.
This version is not considered stable so if it breaks for you please send the log file and roll back to 1.3. Thanks!11-08-10 01:04 PMLike 0 - Coming from 1.0 on a 9700 5.0.0.979:
Headset to speaker function works as described.
Loaded a station a played it with no problem.
One of the best apps on my BB. Thanks.11-08-10 02:36 PMLike 0 - It won't....you need to use your BB browser and go to TuneIn Radio for Blackberry beta download to pick up the next beta version....which will now be 1.4 build 10211-09-10 08:55 AMLike 0
- I don't know what was done, but I have to admit & agree that the streams are downloading very fast now with the latest beta. Works wonderfully. Thanks for your efforts!
