Yeah, you can scroll them... but there's no scroll bars.

New version coming in a couple minutes

[FreePlay]

Version 1.7 is done:

Version 1.7, 1/18/2008

• Added support for custom plugins. Included an example - a two-channel equalizer that displays beneath the 'stop' button. For an example of how plugins work, open X:\radio\plugins\equalize r.plugin in your favorite text editor.
  
  • Plugins are self-contained JavaScript files, so if you're any good with that, you can easily make your own plugins. FreeRadio will automatically load any plugin files stored in the X:\radio\plugins folder with a filename ending in '.plugin'. The only requirements for a plugin are 'load' and 'start' functions and a variable named 'started'. The rest is up to you.
    
  • Plugins are only loaded in the Shoutcast, Stream, and Playlist views; this is because rest either don't play audio or might not always look the same (since podcasts and RSS can use HTML).
• The web browser and bookmark links now open in a new tab, rather than the current one.

Spoiler for user plugin example - two-channel equalizer:

nice! keep it up

[IchigoKurosaki]

Okay, so iframes do support Scrolling though of course no scroll bars...

[nicodemus82]

yet another update..wow! ur pumping these out faster that i can put them on my PSP
btw in ur next update could u possibly move the stop playback button so it's in the top bar and not getting in the way of the now playing bar?

[FreePlay]

Sure, that should be pretty easy. It would make it so it can't be skinned... but who skins a button, anyways?

[lifey]

thanks for sharing the fruits freeplay.....

that would be great cos sometimes when the name of the song/artist is long, it goes behind the stop playback button so u can't read it..

also would it be possible to add some kind of border to the visualizer? something like this.. i think it makes it stand out nicer

[FreePlay]

btw, if you seem to be lagging out a lot on your stream connections, it's because the equalizer plugin is refreshing too often. Edit it in notepad and copy/paste in this code:

Spoiler for equalizer.plugin:

/*-------------------------------------------------
Example plugin: two-channel graphical equalizer
---------------------------------------------------
FreeRadio will load any plugins named *.plugin
in the /radio/plugins folder. To disable a plugin
without deleting it, just rename it to *.disabled
or whatever (so long as it doesn't end in .plugin).
---------------------------------------------------
A plugin is a JavaScript object with its own
functions and variables. Name it whatever you want;
just be sure to remember its name, because that's
what you'll be using in place of 'equalizer_plugin'
in the last two lines of the plugin code.
---------------------------------------------------
There are only two required functions in any
plugin: load, start, and getStatus.
'load' is executed as the page is loaded. none of
the page content will be accessible in the load
function; it's supposed to be used for setting up
the plugin's variables and things like that.
---------------------------------------------------
'start' is executed after the page is loaded. all
of the page content is accessible, and you can
add your own content in this function, set
timeouts, etc.
---------------------------------------------------
There is also a required variable:
'this.started' is a true/false value indicating
whether the plugin has been started.
---------------------------------------------------
Everything else is up to you!
------------------------------------------------*/

function equalizer_plugin() {
	var eq_timeout = 0;
	this.load = function()
	{
		this.started = false;
	}

	this.start = function()
	{
		this.started = true;
		this.status = 'Test plugin started';
		document.writeln('<div id="eq" style="border: 1px white solid; z-index: 1; position: fixed; left: 378px; top: 20px; width: 100px; height: 34px; background-color: #000000;"><img style="width: 100px; height: 16px;" id="eq_left" src="./plugins/eq.jpg"/><br/><img style="width: 100px; height: 16px;" id="eq_right" src="./plugins/eq.jpg"/></div><div id="eq_left_cover" style="z-index: 2; position: fixed; left: 379px; top: 21px; width: 100px; height: 16px; background-color: #000000;">&nbsp;</div><div id="eq_right_cover" style="z-index: 2; position: fixed; left: 379px; top: 37px; width: 100px; height: 16px; background-color: #000000;">&nbsp;</div>');
		updateEq();
	}
}

function updateEq()
{
	if(psp.sysRadioGetPlayerStatus())
	{
		var eq_left_val = Math.floor(100*psp.sysRadioGetLeftAudioPeakLevel()/255);
		var eq_right_val = Math.floor(100*psp.sysRadioGetRightAudioPeakLevel()/255);
		document.getElementById('eq_left_cover').style['width'] = (100-eq_left_val)+'px';
		document.getElementById('eq_right_cover').style['width'] = (100-eq_right_val)+'px';
	}
	eq_timeout = setTimeout('updateEq()', 1000);
}

// In your plugin, you must have these two lines, or it won't be loaded.
// Replace 'equalizer_plugin' with the name of your plugin.

plugins['equalizer_plugin'] = new equalizer_plugin();
plugin_names[plugin_names.length] = 'equalizer_plugin';

Guys i have noobie queston. I have problem whit adding new stations. I have some radio stations on my winamp and i dont know how to put them on this FreeRadio list . Can somone help me or give me a link where i cna read how to do it?

[FreePlay]

The Readme tells you how, and so does the MyShoutcast.js file

Edit X:\radio\personalize\MySh outcast.js in Notepad and you'll see examples. You just need the station ID number, which is in the URL. It'll show you where

[SeniorUser]

Yep was a little laggy, just deleted plugin....used for listening no optical woo woo needed. well done yet again

[FreePlay]

Yeah, the plugin isn't really USEFUL... it was just an example

[nicodemus82]

yeah, with the plugin enabled, there was some slowdown while browsing the stations, so i just disabled it..

[WhiteOut]

Today was the first day I used my PSP since christmas because Ive been busy with my new sidekick =]. Anyway, I just installed 3.80 m33 and this radio, and its awesome. The only thing I cant figure out is how to switch from the web browser back to the station page. How can I do this?

[xxcooldudettexx]

OMG, I feel like a noob asking for help, but I have tried and tried to add this station

http://216.32.84.34:8000/listen.pls

And I cant add/find it in the radio....

Please don't Because i have... and it didn't help.


What would be really great if someone uploaded the default custom file, with the station added

BTW Freeplay, I love my companion cube too

[Deathinnate]

And since I'm also an idiot, I want to put a stream from
http://www.kisscleveland.com/ (96.5) on FreeRadio, but no idea how.

[ricosuavez]

hold the square button and press on the right or left trigger to go to your other tabs

[farris]

is it possible to make a plugin for .asx streams (mms:// )

[FreePlay]

No. mms:// streams are not supported by the radio plugin.

Guys... adding a stream is easy. Just add

'url','title',

to your MyStreams.js file, in the appropriate list (streams, pls, or m3u), and make sure each entry but the last one in each list has a comma after it.

xxcooldudettexx, you'd be adding it to the 'pls' list, since it's a '.pls'.

Deathinnate, that's an ASX (mms://) stream... it won't work.

[farris]

noooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo!

will there ever come support for it? Maybe with a VLC player-port to the PSP (cuz VLC can play mms://!) ???

Someone else posted a few Dutch stations and I added them Heh. Oops. I must've been testing this with a different font size.

No, I changed the font size to .9 so it's easier for me to view in well lit areas.
But it still over lapped with the smaller font size .8 .
Is there a way to drop down the shoutcast list a little?
Which file sets where the list will be displayed on the screen?
Torch gave a response to this but I need more info on where to put the changes.
Any help would be appreciated

[FreePlay]

Not in a form that works on official firmware. Sony would have to add it.

[IchigoKurosaki]

I noticed a few things will listening to music...

1. My Battery will charge even though I'm using the wireless card O_o (Is that new in 3.80?)
2. I've noticed that whenever you load the Browser or Internet Radio all plugins you have enabled for VSH become Disabled... as in go into browser and exit it and you can't Press Select for VSH Menu or Music+R for Recovery...

These are just a few strange things I've noticed probably has nothing to do with this just thought they were kind of intresting...

[FreePlay]

1. Slim PSP, right? That's normal.
2. Those two specific plugins are probably disabled while the browser is loaded; I know the vshmenu is.

1. Nope I have a Phat PSP...
2. It doesn't happen anymore with the new Recovery Plugin... Though VSH Menu won't load even after you exit the browser... Kind of strange... It's like it's disabled when you load the browser, but it never re-enables itself once you exit the browser...

[FreePlay]

1. Really? ... Weird. Maybe so.
2. It'll load again once you load another section of the XMB. This is intentional... think it's related to memory issues.

[jason_r90]

Freeplay could you please look at my post above.
