    PSPRadio v0.36 Pre 1 (PSP Application)

    PSPRadio is an internet radio client for the PSP. Changes:

  • Updates to readme and whatsnew for 0.36-pre1
  • Show artist only if available
  • Refactoring to allow for oggs to set samplerate. SoundBuffer now gets samplerate from CurrentSoundStream instead of keeping its own copy
  • Display Artist
  • Populating more metadata fields for ogg: bitrate, title, artist
  • Renamed Author to Artist
  • Moved currentmetadata copy from pspradio to CurrentSoundStream. Also metadata processing from pspradio to pspsounddecoder
  • Simplified metadata notification
  • Moved metadata structure from CPlayList to CPSPSoundStream. Get current metadata from CurrentSoundStream using accessors (ie CurrentSoundStream.GetURI() or GetTitle(), etc)
  • Added support for ogg vorbis streams (files/online streams)
  • Internal cleanup for the icon drawing. The start/stop buttons are now also drawn as normal icons.
  • Fixed selection box that was not the propper size
  • Added network, sound and loading buttons.
  • Playlist filename added.
  • Starting ogg decoder. PSPSound will instantiate it. Basing decoder class from MAD decoder. Now need to implement
  • Added another background object and fixed the lights
  • Also fix to report stream info (like samplerate) everytime
  • Also updated readme/whatsnew with what was actually released for 0.35.
  • Redoing dir by using copy from branch
  • Making decoder more modular…
  • More modularization in progress…
  • Added support for different stream types in preparation for addition of new decoders. It detects the stream type (content type) from filename if local file, or from content-type: metadata from online stream response. (Some servers don’t send the response.. so may want to default to MAD.
  • Added support for determining content types for ogg and aac.
  • Now if content type is not defined, it defaults to MPEG. Also added case for AAC (not supported yet)
  • svn merge -r305:319 branches/OGGSupportAddition to trunk
