Iphone 3G audio player skipping beats in between songs

Hi,
I have been using iphone 3G for over 6 months.Since the time I updated to 3.1(and 3.1.2 now),I have a strange audio problem.While playing songs,the ipod moves to a different point of the song(for 1-2 secs) and returns to the original point.This makes listening to songs horrible.Also the same thing happens(say a couple of times) for certain songs everytime I played it.I thought this was an OS issue and updated it but to no avail.Everytime I completely erase the songs and sync to a new playlist, a new set of songs have the skipping goin on.Plz help and thanks in advance.

I too have this problem. I first experienced it on my 2G after upgrading from v1.1.4 to v2.2.1. It appears to me to be caused by high-bitrate VBR .mp3 files. AFAIK the 3G doesn't have a dedicated hardware audio decoder, so it is dependent upon the ARM11 processor. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't include any tools to get an idea as to the load level of the phone. Of course there other are ways to accomplish this. I spent the time to sit down, play some songs and gather data. Right now I'm just cruising the forums to see how many other people are running into this.

Using FMS v4.5.5 with a browser-based audio player running on iPad/iPhone

Hello,
I’m seeking some clarity/guidance on using FMS v4.5.5 (Streaming Edition) with a browser-based audio player running on iPad/iPhone (i.e. under iOS).
Background
I have a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Web Server running IIS v7.5 and supporting a website built using ASP.NET and C#. Parts of the website allow a visitor to play a selection of audio clips from our bespoke MP3 library. Due to UK music licencing constraints, we must stream the clip to the client browser – we must not download either part or all of the source MP3 file(s). We therefore had a custom audio player built for us some time ago using Flash/AS3. This has and continues to work very well, and uses RTMP to stream the clips from FMS to the client browser.
As our site has become more established the number of visitors has steadily grown. In the early days the number of visitors from the iOS platform was relatively small but, last month, it had risen to 40%! As Flash is not supported on the iOS platform, this growing group of visitors are unable to fully maximise the benefits offered by the website, which I am now trying to address.
What I’m Trying To Do…
From what I’ve researched and read, I believe that FMS v4.5.5 supports HLS and I need to use this (instead of RTMP) over HTTP between FMS and the iOS Safari client. I have been experimenting with an Open Source player (JPlayer) and a commercial player (JWplayer) and appear to have these playing a MP3 file as a “progressive download” (I think that’s the right term) as all I’m doing is specifying the file path (no HTTP prefix etc.), i.e. the audio is not really being streamed as I require. Unfortunately, I’ve not found / worked out how to configure my FMS to respond to a path request along the lines of:
http://www.myserver.com/live/audio1.mp3
Hopefully someone reading this who is much more expert on FMS, HLS, HDS, HTML5, etc. than me can point me in the right direction!
What I’m confused about…
1) Can all my MP3 assets stay as is and still be streamed to the iOS Safari client? To the best of my knowledge, the key properties of my MP3 files are CBR, 44,100Hz, 320Kbps.
2) If not, can they be converted on-the-fly by FMS or do I need to create additional audio assets to support HLS etc.?
3) If I have to manually create additional audio assets, how do I do that (I’ve seen references to tools from both Adobe and Apple but not actually found the kits)?
4) Some of the Adobe documentation I’ve read implies that FMS support for HLS etc. is only available when FMS is used in conjunction with the bundled Apache web server. As stated earlier, my entire site runs on IIS so does that mean to achieve what I want I’ll have to run two web servers on my physical server – IIS for the website itself and Apache for RTMP/HLS/etc.?
5) What changes do I need to make to my current FMS configuration to get HLS to work? I’m sure someone has been here already and can enlighten me with their experience and hopefully point me to some straight forward documentation to follow!
6) Lastly, and really part of (5), once I’ve got FMS configured correctly, what would be the typical path to a given MP3 audio file that I would give the iOS Safari browser to make this all work.
I appreciate this is rather a lengthy first post but hopefully the background puts my questions (and confusion!) in context. Bottom line is… I simply want to be able to stream audio clips only (no video) to iOS Safari browsers from FMS v4.5.5 running on a Win2K8R2 platform with IIS v7.5, and with no audio content being stored (even temporarily) on the iOS platform.
My thanks and appreciation in advance to anyone who can help me achieve this.

Hi Apurva,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I am not much further forward, despite having read more Adobe documentation (FMS v4.5 Configuration and Administration Guide, FMS v4.5 Developer’s Guide) and trying different configuration options.
First to confirm a point you made when answering point 4 yesterday. Yes, in my current RTMP scenario I have several MP3 assets (let’s call them Audio1.mp3, Audio2.mp3, Audio3.mp3, etc.) that are made available to a bespoke Flash/AS3 player via the LIVE application. I understand that as I purchased the Streaming Edition of FMS v4.5, a Flash-based player is restricted to using the LIVE application. You go on to say that I “publish” these assets to the LIVE application. I set this up a while back but do not recall having to “publish” anything. All I recall doing was to ensure that all the assets (the .mp3 files) were in a single folder and that the folder was identified by the <Streams> tag in the following file (example shown):
Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\live\Application.xml
                <StreamManager>
                                <VirtualDirectory>
                                                <Streams>/;C:\MP3Library</Streams>
                                </VirtualDirectory>
                </StreamManager>
To the best of my knowledge, I didn’t have to do anything else to make the current solution work. Having read more of the documentation I am still none the wiser as to what I need to do (step-by-step) to “publish” my converted MP3 assets (see next paragraph) to the LIVEPKGR application. Please could you explain these steps to me by way of an example.
WRT your answer to point 1 yesterday, I wish to clarify the exact output I need to create when converting my MP3 assets. Am I expected to produce a Audio1.aac file, or a Audio1.mp4, file, or a Audio1.m4a file, etc.? Or am I meant to be using ffmpeg (either directly or indirectly) with a much more sophisticated command line that somehow generates stream-rated info/files as well? An example of how you would use ffmpeg to convert one of my MP3 assets would be very much appreciated.
Lastly, the coexistence of IIS and Apache (ref your answer to point 2 yesterday). That all made sense but given all the testing/changes I’ve been making I thought it wise to start afresh! So I completely removed FMS from my dev server and re-installed Flash Media Streaming Server v4.5.5 with the bundled Apache v2.2 server. When presented with the dialogue “Would you like for Apache to listen on port 80. If not FMS will be using port 80 instead.” I answered NO. When presented with the dialogue regarding FMS server ports, I entered 1935 NOT 1935,80 (should I have done that as the preamble makes reference to HTTP webserver proxy and HTTP Dynamic Streaming origin services?). I then modified the Application.xml file as described above.
To test the new set-up, I did the following. First, the test environment…
DEV Server
Windows Web Server 2008 R2 SP1
IIS v7.5
ASP.NET v4.0
Flash Media Streaming Server v4.5.5
Apache v2.2
IE v9.0
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX v11.5.502.146
TEST Client
Apple iMac (Intel)
Mac OS X v10.6.8
Safari v5.1.7
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plug-in v11.5.502.146
On DEV Server… launched IE and loaded the home page of my website, which has two elements on it – one to load/run our bespoke Flash player, the other to run JPlayer (configured to use HTTP). I selected our bespoke Flash player and it played a MP3 audio file. I verified this in real-time via the FMS Admin Console on the server.
On TEST Client… entered http://192.168.20.250:8134 into Safari – it comes up with the FMS install completed / test your server page. In the middle of the video display area a black box appears saying “10000 OK” – I clicked OK. I then clicked HDS Single Bitrate – the video plays (Not Using Hardware Acceleration is briefly displayed). There is NO activity logged in the FMS Admin Console back on the DEV server under “live”, “livepkgr” or “vod”. I assume this is because I’ve gone straight to the Apache Server via the port reference – is that correct? Next I tried the HLS Single Bitrate – same results.
The HDS Single Bitrate logs the following in the Apache access_log file:
"GET /hds-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.f4m HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
The HLS Single Bitrate logs this:
"GET /hds-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.f4m HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.m3u8 HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.m3u8 HTTP/1.1" 200 816 "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4vFrag1Num0.ts HTTP/1.1" 200 1143416 "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4vFrag1Num1.ts HTTP/1.1" 200 873072 "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4vFrag2Num2.ts HTTP/1.1" 200 1591984 "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
etc…
At this point I’m stuck once again since I’m not clear how to construct the JPlayer HTTP reference. You have suggested:
http://192.168.20.250:8134/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livestream/livestream.m3u8
That produces the following in the Apache error_log file:
[error] [client 192.168.20.4] File does not exist: D:/Program Files/Adobe/Flash Media Server 4.5/webroot/hls-live
If I change the JPlayer HTTP reference to:
http://192.168.20.250:8134/hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.m3u8
the audio from the video plays.
Also, if I look in the applications\livepkgr folder structure there is only \events (with sub-folder _definst_ and sub-sub-folder liveevent) – there are no _definst_ , livestream , streams folders etc. So besides me not quite understanding the logic/flow here, I seem to be missing a few folders/files too! I’d be very grateful for any light you can shed on all this. Plus an example of what my HTTP string should ultimately look like; for example:
http://192.168.20.250:8134/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livestream/Audio1.m3u8
Apologies for such a long reply but I’ve been at this for over 10 hours today! I feel I’m getting closer but clearly there are still some gaps and configuration errors.
Thanks again for your time, support, patience and understanding.
Kind Regards, Steve

Best car audio player for Iphone 3G

Hello,
I have camry 2005 which doesn't have aux input to connect other player. So I'm thinking to replace my car audio player with some good audio player with iphone 3G compatibility.
Please advise.
Thanks

I know there are a few manufacturers that make an adapter that connects where a factory 6 disk would connect and i heard they usually charge like $45 for it.im sure you can google to see if there is one made for your car.

How can i make audio player with osmf??

i want to know how can i make audio player with osmf and flex4.5 ?

Thanks again...I suppose I'd just like it louder in case the radio is on when the directions are given. The difference between the iPhone & Nokia is like night & day!
BTW, do you know if the Maps program is using data from my cell phone plan as we drive? Or are the corresponding maps downloaded into the phone once for the trip?
Thanks again!!

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; says you can use a PC or player to play music; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; Samsung says you can use a PC or player to play music using the USB port; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod? Or is there some ap?

Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack.

Audio player with some extra's - can't get player realized

I try to build an audio player with some extra's like looping between 2 time marks.
Till now i have an interface that can play back audio files but after that the problems start.
There is no way i can add functions without creating a {color:#ff0000}NotRealizedError{color}.
According to the documentation the start() method should realize (etc) the player, but it doesn't in my program and neighter does the method player.realize();.
Can someone give me a hint to get me on the road again.

captfoss,
Thank you for your comment.

Start does realize the player, automatically, before it starts it... if it isn't realizing then it also isn't starting.Right, I thought so, but my test was wrong. I now tested it with getState() and I can see it's going from unrealized to realized.
First off, you can only call setRate on a player that is realized but not started... further, any of the calls like configure, realize, start, stop, etc... are non-blocking calls...so you have to wait for them to finish before you go on to the next step.So you say that when the rate is changed (f.i. by a user in a gui) the program first has to bring player in non-started realized mode (stop + realize), call the setRate() and start the player again (on the exact position it was stopped)?
The easiest solution would be to use Manager.createRealizedPlayer rather than Manager.createPlayer...Didn't find out yet why, but when i change this (only this), there is no playing.
Also, ++teller++ is about the most-confused looking code I've ever seen...Just like all the asterisks, i now know that code changes when i toggle between the tabs (rich/plain/preview) in the message box.
Beyond that, your "blocking realize" function doesn't appear to do anything except suggest you have no business coding anything this advanced. Your boolean value "realize" isn't ever changed, so, I'm not entirely sure what the point of that function is other than to wait 10 seconds.I got this somewhere from the internet. Thought it could help me realize the player, but it didn't (obvious) so i commented it out.
Slowly I begin to understand the basics of JMF (at least i think so), but I also understand that there are other (Java) ways to build the application I need. Unfortunatly I have to little (hardly any) knowledge of all those (sound) API's (f.i. JLayer) to find my way through them and to decide which is the best for my use (user controled audio playback (at least WAV and MP3) with looping possiblities between 2 marked positions).
If someone could give me an advise which API (method or whatever you call it) is best to focus on I shurely would appriciate that.

How do I get the remote control app to work for a Sony HDD Hi Res audio player?

Can't get the iPhone remote control app to work for my HDD Hi Res Audio player. The app can "find" the player and I can turn on the power with the app but then can't get it to go to my music - can only use the "demo" tool with the demo info. What am I doing wrong?

Good day cb94!

I perfectly understand your attitude towards innovations opened society and improvements, but it seems to me that the new operating system has become very ios6 crumb recycled and not coherent.(which in my opinion is the system Android) irritation causes the presence of different style interfaces, ending his excessive Visual similarity with Google apps.

Audio stuttering/ skipping in iTunes 10.1.1.4

Updated the software, now audio is skipping ONLY when played through iTunes. Tried all the suggested fixes, uninstalled iT and qT twice and reinstalled, still have the problem. Anyone run into the same problem or have a potential solution?
Thanks! Oh, running WinXP sp3

Hi,
I have a similar problem with music files 'stuttering' or 'jittering' and it's particularly noticeable during quieter tracks. Almost sounds like crackles or pops in the background.
The interesting thing is that I played the same problematic files on the same machine using Windows Media Player and they were rock steady perfect!? Suggests to me an issue with the iTunes software. I was similarly tempted to reinstall iTunes and the audio drivers, but I see this didn't help another friend here with the same problem.
Th eproblem has come about since I transferred all music to my new computer running Windows 7 64 bit and wonder if there is an issue with the latest iTunes 64 bit version software??
Any thoughts/advice please? Regards.

Default audio player issue with ITunes 10.5.

I recently downloaded the ITunes 10.5 update and it has permanently set ITunes as my default audio player. It will not accept when I "uncheck" the ITunes as default player under the advanced options tab. Does anyone know how to resolve?

I don't know if this will work for you but this was an easy fix for me. At first, I sync like how I usually sycned my ipods etc. But I pressed the "sync" button in iTunes instead of it automatically doing it for me. It kept on doing step 1 of 3 and it finished really quickly, I knew there was something wrong with it. Nothing was synced to my iphone. I had to manually go to the "Music" tab of my device and select Sync Music, apply. It took a while but it actually worked. Again, I don't know if it will work for you, just give it a try. Other threads said I had to "restore" but I've never actually restored my iphone before so I was a little hesitant. You could try that if my method doesn't work.

Simple lightweight Qt audio player: TepSonic

Hi,
I'd like to introduce my opensource project TepSonic. It's a simple lightweight audio player written in C++ using Qt. It's a multiplatform application (but still having some issues on Windows, MacOS X port in progress).
TepSonic supports collections, data are stored in database (using MySQL or SQLite (default) backend) and is easily extensible via plugins. At the moment it has only Last.fm scrobbling plugin.
Some images:
I'm looking for both, user feedback and some help - advices from more experienced users are welcomed, so are patches.

this looks really nice. i'd like to see where you go with it.
some thoughts:
1. this may already be planned, but how about customizable keyboard shortcuts? global shortcuts would be nice, too (i see this on the buglist.)
2. here's an idea for the search function:
-activate the search field with a keyboard shortcut (e.g., 'j' for 'jump')
-search for words, not strings (e.g., searching for 'porcupine voyage' brings up 'porcupine tree - voyage 34', even if 'porcupine voyage' appears nowhere in the name)
-after typing in some keyword, play the selected song by pressing 'enter'
-after hitting 'enter', clear the search field, show the whole playlist, and highlight the song
3. would it be possible to implement something like foobar2000's shuffle algorithm? in particular, i like this: if i jump to a specific song s, that song s becomes the new reference point. so, e.g., once s ends, skipping to the previous song skips to s, not to what would have been the previous song had s not been selected.

Please help me install this audio player!

Hello anyone reading this,
I am very new to designing a website, and decided to venture out and add some audio to it. I am a piano instructor and am VERY determined to do this.
I recently purchased some files from this site:
http://www.flashcomponents.net/component/advanced-mp3-player-with-play list-totally-customizable-xml-driven.html
That is the same exact one I purchased.
I recently engaged in a little email session with the author / developer and he was sending me emails that had a lot of technical language of which I couldn't understand. I needed help, and he didn't seem to pay much attention to my problem, just kept repeating the same thing.
I eventually was able to research his terminology and I finally got around to being able to comprehend his 'steps' listed for me to get this thing up and running.
He basically said everything I needed was in a folder titled 'deploy' ... and that I just copy that folder into my Dreamweaver site project , along with my images, root folder, etc. Ok, easy enough. I did that.
His next step was to insert the .swf file into my web page in Dreamweaver. Ok, easy enough. Did that. BUT, there is a problem. A fairly large grey box shows up with an F inside it. This is in 'design' view. In 'Live view', I see nothing at all of the player, just a large grey box with no F inside it.
The peculiar thing is that there are 3 files inside this 'deploy' folder that when I double click them ... a beautiful audio mp3 player pops up and performs perfectly. It's the real thing. Just when I insert the .swf file into my site, nothing at all happens. And this was what the guy told me to do.
Since then he stopped corresponding with me. Not sure why. Here are the files I have in 'Deploy'.
playlist.xml
playerstyles.css
playersettings_v4.xml
Mp3player_v4.swf
index.php
index.html
BG.jpg
AC_RunActiveContent.js
The 2 index files open up a perfect audio player as shown on the site. So does the Mp3player_f4.swf.
I also have a folder called 'scripts' that has 2 scripts listed for the audio player.
swfobject_modified.js
expressInstall.swf
Please oh please, if any of this makes any sense and if what I typed is a symptom of something, please help me. I am desperate as all the research I've done is getting me nowhere!!!

Your testing confirms my suspicion that it’s a pathing problem
“Then I tested out the index.html and the index.php files that are located in 'deploy'
They didn't work. no image at all ... nothing. “
That is working correctly. If you path it to work from the Web page, of course it will not work from “index.html” in the deploy folder… it’s not supposed to. It’s supposed to work from the Web page one folder level up. Did you test it from YOUR Web page after changing the paths?
“I noticed that as I said the index.html and the index.php didn't work ... but the mp3player_v4.swf STILL worked perfectly fine. All 3 of those files are under 'deploy'”
This is also to be expected, because when testing the .swf directly (not on YOUR Web page), the paths in the xml file to the mp3s is correct. But remember, when you place that .swf on YOUR Web page, you are removing the .swf from “deploy” and placing it in the same folder as your Web page….. it’s not in deploy anymore.
“Also, a peculiar thing happened as well as I was playing around with things. “
Well for testing you could take everthing out of “deploy” and move it into the same folder as YOUR Web page and just change the path on your web page to the .swf (delete the “deploy/” part). Now every thing is in the root folder, there is no deploy folder, only a “sound” folder which holds the mp3s and the palyer would work just fine, because RELATIVE to the location of the .swf on the WEB PAGE, all the paths are correct.
But then you don’t really learn how to resolve pathing issues.
