Audiosurf Media Player: AMP

[Dylan]

Ah. Shuffle play marathon has arrived. Works great.

[grapejuice808]

i can't get mine to connect.

[Pwntastic]

do you have the .Net framework 2.0 installed? you may need to restart steam

[theguy2687]

I can get mine to connect but I can't get it to recognize the songs in my folder.  It's saying


Exception of type 'TheDotNetMP3Library.Exception_NotAnMP3' was thrown.  I don't know what to do.  I tried removing all the non-mp3 songs and it still doesn't work.

By the error name I'd say it *only* works for .mp3s, try loading one and see if it works.

Keeps saying disconnected. Tried rebooting steam, rebooting the app, rebooting audiosurf. Nothing seems to work :/

[Pwntastic]

Updated to support screen tilting.
Those people who are unable to get their application to connect: do you have the beta patch installed?

[xairu]

It should be possible to have a manual connect button, shouldn't it?

I wouldn't want to have to always launch audiosurf from audiosurf player in order to adjust all these settings..

[Pwntastic]

You dont have to launch audiosurf from within the app for it to connect. It should find any instances of audiosurf on it's own and connect to them. you could have audiosurf running already and then open this and it would connect.

it runs a timer to check for audiosurf instances on its own, so adding a button would be redundant

[xairu]

Okay, few things:

It does not seem to find audiosurf again after I launch audiosurf from the program itself, close it, then launch it again. It connects the first time, and does not connect the second time.

Second, it does not connect to an instance of audiosurf already open if I leave it open for a minute or even 15 minutes..

Lastly, when I played Beethoven's C*** by Serj Tankian and finished the song, the program would error at score received and would not receive the song name or artist. (no asterisks in actual song title.)

Oh, the top options, such as sidewinders and the other freeride options do not become enabled at all, no matter what I do.

Yeah i was just working on that

I'll look into this...

That's odd. Probably caused by the new stuff dylan added in the latest patch.

Oh, the top options, such as sidewinders and the other freeride options do not become enabled at all, no matter what I do.

Do they enable when you choose freeride from the dropdown?

[cathfaern]

I think I found a bug:
If I use audioplayer, but choose a song from audisurf then when it try to post the scores, ASPlayer gives an error "You haven't selected any songs!" (i tried some songs, all of them gives this error) And if I click OK, it pop-up again, and again, and again.
I don't know if it helps, but last response: "asreport songcomplete 183469"
And while i'm on the "high score" screen in audiosurf, it alway pop-up even if I restart audioplayer.
(oh, i've just seen that xairu reported this one too)

The other thing: what does screen tilt do? I can't see any differencies

[Pwntastic]

Currently, the screen tilt option does nothing. The screen tilt setting is broken in the latest patch.

I just fixed that 'you havent selected any songs' error and ill post the updated version a bit later after i fix a few more things

Unfortunately, your program rarely works for me:
A lot of options don't do anything (road disabling and stuff like that).
The song list maker is really buggy in that it doesn't show every file in the folder sometimes and sometimes it just shows unknown artist: unknown song for every song while they are properly tagged. And the program gives an error when you select a folder with other files then mp3's (I think you already know this).
Also, the program only really launches the song correctly the first time I play a song. After that the program doesn't correspondent with AS at all (altough I can close AS via ASplayer).

This program could be great, but there are just to many bugs now. But I'm sure you'll be able to fix them.

[Pwntastic]

Well the road disabling and stuff only works for freeride, first of all. Secondly, most of that stuff only takes place in the song after it's enabled. So if you disable/enable the road during a song, for instance, it will only take effect in the next song.

It seems like a lot of the time it will actually connect even though it still says its disconnected. If you have Audiosurf and ASPlayer open and it still says 'Disconnected', try clicking one of the options like 'Run In Background' (that one is pretty important btw) and see if it quickly switches to audiosurf and back.
If when you select options, it switches to audiosurf and back, it means it's connected, it just isnt displaying it. (confusing, sorry)

Anyway I'll keep working on making this app work better. As far as the playlist goes, it should let you select a number of types of files, but it will currently only display the id3 tags for mp3's.
Let me know what file-types it doesn't show, because i'll have to add those to a list of audio files to display.

I haven't actually seen that error it gives when a folder has mp3's and other filetypes. I'll take a peek into what it could be.

Now that my quick sideproject MsnSurf is pretty much done, I'm gonna go back and fix up all the stuff in here. It could be a pretty nice app, but it kinda sucks atm heh
