- HTTP Video streaming (use Add URL to insert a direct HTTP video link to a file on a webserver, or load a .m3u with HTTP links in it).
Hi Vivo,
Thanks for another update it's great!
But... I noticed that Tabs jumping from right (screen shot2) of the tab bar to left side (screen shot1) of the tab bar when created new and closed. Same happen when open and close folder tree.
Tabs are nice however I would prefer not have them at all. Can you add option to disable tabs in options if that is not to big problem? Besides tabs are not using all of the bar but only above playlist (screen shot1).
How to open closed video? When I click on it starts playing from beginning. I've been thinking that video might be displayed in cover window as option. What would you say?
Is there any reason why Phonix is trying to connect to internet on startup? That's happening science v2.
Sorry for so many corrections, I'm tired.
Kind Regards
Thom

Hello Thom,
There is GCDWebserver build in for the Phonix Remote app for iPhone/iPad. It runs on port 2016 Locally only but it does not connect to the internet or send any data outside. Did you load any HTTP video or audio streams in your playlist or .m3u?
Can you tell where it is connecting to in your case (I mean the address ?). I am really curious now.
I can upload the source here to proof there is nothing wrong with Phonix.
About the Tabs, I'll make it optional in another update soon.
Press the V button in the toolbar to open/close the Video window. I implemented the Video player only as of today and it's still in progress.

Hi Vivo,
I'm unable to tell what would be address. I can try describe this and why it cross my mind.
I think that started with v2.0 and look like system firewall asks that question: "Do you want the application "Phonic.app" to accept incoming network connections?" which actually may mean that it tried to connect somewhere first.
That wasn't a case with previous versions, firewall was rather completely silent when Phonix starts. That might be the server you've mentioned. I didn't try to connect to any (a/v streams) address yet so this is not a case here. One more thing, I've been asking the same question each time even I allowed incoming connection - system bug?
And now some bug reports:
- when you quit Phonix couple times whilst the same playlist loaded autoplay for some reson starts from the beginning of the same song - it's like it don't remember which one was played last time - it only remembers first time when was quit.
- (still trying to reproduce when) I think it happens time to time only. App plays first song and stops, and when clicked on next song rest of album is just fine. It might be after adding or replacing playlist but I need look into it closer.
- cue file isn't read/interpreted properly when all songs are in one file (1x cue + 1x flac). All songs have same title and all soungs are full albums long.
Here requests:
- Can you change V to icon?
- What would you say to change to/or add multi colour level meter? I mean colours like below for example:
http://p.motionelements.com/stock-v...een-screen/me1038225-level-meter-hd-a0180.jpg
- Horizontal scroll in folder tree when names are wider than window.
- Permanent playlist button for radio stations. Like presets for radio only with setting like panel to add/edit/remove audio stations. Fields required would be address, name and picture I would say.
One question just cross my mind. What are you using for decoding? Is it sort of bass library or else?
Ok, That would be all for today. Please tell what you thing about all that.
Thanks for your work again.

No that basically means that it binds to some port (opens a port for listening) and that's it. Nothing to do with actively connecting anywhere.
@vivo - my one feature request
It would be nice to implement a tabbed interface allowing the use of several playlists simultaneously and independently on each other. If you know the foobar2000 player (Windows OS) - it can do exactly that.
Hi Vivo,
I didn't mean that, however I've been curious what is going on. If that's a server you're talking about that's ok. The only thing is that I need to accept this firewall request each time or disable firewall. Please see attachement. I hope Apple fix that firewall bug.
Kind Regards

Aaah, I seee. Well that isn't a bug, the macOS firewall behaves like that for a long time.
It's because
- the Phonix app is not signed
- the macOS builtin application firewall won't permanently add any unsigned application to its whitelist
Workaround it to sign it by Yourself which can be easily done the following way (execute this in the Terminal window, adjust the path to the Phonix.app as You need):
This will perform so called ad-hoc signing which is some sort of self-signing valid for only that single app on that particular machine where it was signed.
@vivo
Maybe You could add an option to disable this feature so those who don't need it will simply disable it and the macOS firewall wil shut up even without dealing with the application signature.
Otherwise the best would be to sign the app with the Apple developer certificate.

One (for me ) very annoying thing that I also reported for Cog but it never got taken care of:
- I've got "Displays have separate spacec" enabled in Mission Control preferences.
- Whenever I switch view to another desktop, Phonix appears there
- I want it to stay at just that one desktop where I launch it (or move it to), not all of them
EDIT: I also think Phonix has some memory leak. I play mostly FLAC files in it (not sure if it's related or independent of the format played) and its memory usage slowly rises from approx 45MB after launch up to 1.5GB and perhaps even more it I woudn't relaunch it. I've got like 30 songs in the playlist right now and even if I let Phonix to play just them over and over again the memory usage goes up to those insane levels.

I fail to see why they would not although there is no button to press pressing the button image on the machine is supposed to give you the same as if you had pressed a real button, it sends the same keycode it has always sent to the OS.
Hi @vivo, thanks for your work! Where do you have the sources for phonix? I looked up the forks of Cog on bitbucket at https://bitbucket.org/vspader/cog but could not find phonix.
OK, here are all the Phonix sources: https://www.sendspace.com/file/o1n1rj
- 10.7+ version
- 10.11+ version
- iPhone4 remote app
- iPhone4s+ remote app
- iPad remote app
*__> code is not cleaned and still under development by me but I am taking a small break on the Phonix development. Did so many hours in 2016 on it.
Maybe someone can put this on bitbucket,github e.g. I have no problem with that and V.Spader neither (I asked). Only thing is, SFBAudioEngine from SBooth is the Phonix engine and the License has changes. So investigate this too!
FYI: there are binary frameworks/libs in, I really have no clue about the licensing of those. So that needs to be figured out by the person uploading it to a GIT.
Enjoy this nice FREE media-player
Warm greetings!
