MilkDrop Visualization on AFTV/XBMC ? - Fire TV Themes and Apps

I'm trying to find out how if possible to get the MilkDrop Vis. working on AFTV..
I haven't been able to find any way t do it, there were a few links specific for android XBMC installs, but I can to a dead end on HOW-TO
any HELP?

Milkdrop never got integrated into the android version of XBMC, if you really want MilkDrop on your FTV though you could try installing the projectM music visualizer.

I installed the projectM music visualizer. But how do I implement it into XBMC/Kodi?

I don't think it will work 'within' XBMC -- only playing android music apps --- ?? not sure but I doubt it.

Managing music on PC and syncing with the Desire... best app?

Hey,
Looking for a music app to manage my music with that'll sync with my Desire.
I dual boot windows and ubuntu, so it doesn't matter which platform the software is for.
I know Windows media player will do it - but I don't like using it.
Really like itunes - but the current itunes software sync hacks are still pretty buggy - so am looking for an alternate app
Any recommendations would be great.
Cheers!

You can try iSyncr search it on Market
Banshee (on Ubuntu and at least version 1.6, because earlier do not recognise Desire)!! It's much like iTunes and it works Gr-r-r-eat

Saw that one nad would like to give it a go - but there's no way I can buy the $2.99 app as I only have a UK Maestro which is no longer accepted by google checkout (used to be!)

Try media monkey, it's allways been ok for me.
Try doubleTwist, you will have to google it as I cant post links yet!!!
you can use winamp as well ... there is even a guide on how to sync android with winamp. Just do a google and you can find it.

Hmmm... will have to have a look in to that - haven't used winamp in a while, but might be worth getting acquainted with it again - used to like it

The best for me, Media Monkey !
I'm liking double twist... syncs well with the desire, general playback is quite good and it has access to all my favourite podcasts
mediamonkey syncing works but isn't too brilliant with this phone... and it can't find my podcasts :S
Winamp next
You say that the current itunes sync hacks are buggy but I use a program called Itunes Agent that works great for me. To quote from their website:
"ITunes Agent is a tiny application which rests in your system tray, constantly looking for devices being connected to your system. If a device it recognizes is connected it enables you to manage it via a playlist in iTunes...When you are done modifying the list of tracks for your player you can synchronize it with two small mouse-clicks!"

PowerAmp not playing any files

Does anyone use PowerAmp? I tried playing songs off of it on my new N7 and it keeps saying can't play files. I am able to open the files up with Google Music or the file explorer.

My poweramp is working fine over here on stock, cleanrom as well as cm10.2. Try another third party music player and see if that also fails, if it does then theres something else wrong thats not just poweramp related.
If its in any way related, in quickpic i was not able to use the hide function because the media storage was messing with it, try clearing data on media storage and see if it works.

Nope. Songs play fine on the new n7 with poweramp for me. Not sure why it isn't for you. I know there was just an update to deal with some 4.3 issue, but other than that I don't see why it shouldn't work. Are you on the stock rom or custom?
edit: nvm, I just saw your sig. Your on a custom rom...

I can play music with other media players just fine. Except in PowerAmp. It just keeps giving me errors saying Failed to Play File. I'm on CleanROM 1.2. Stock kernel that came w/ rom.

My gf and I both got our N7 so I decided to try PowerAmp on hers as well. Same result as mine. I ended up using Rocket Player for the time being.
We are both on CleanROM 1.2. But I don't understand why it would cause PowerAmp to not be able to play any files and we can still play from any other media player like Rocket Player, Google Music, ES Media Player, etc..

idk...poweramp and all other players (including streaming apps) work for me on clean 1.3. If you're not running any audio mods, and tried to uninstall and reinstall, I'm not sure what the problem could be. Maybe try updating from 1.2 to 1.3? Backup apps and flash. What could it hurt to have the latest rom anyway...
mine did the same. there was an update in the play store to make it work right on 4.3 and it works great now

Yeah, that's what I was saying before. Poweramp had an update for 4.3. I probably didn't notice it because I just downloaded the latest which has the 4.3 update...oh well...

Ya that's what I thought too. We downloaded the revision 530 which supposedly has the 4.3 fixes, but still isn't playing.
EDIT - I updated to CleanROM 1.3 on my & gf's N7 and now PowerAmp is playing files normally. Not sure why CleanROM 1.2 broke the app.

Is there a non-Kodi music library app?

I have an unrooted AFTV and am looking for a media player that can see my Network Attached Storage, index it and show it to me in a library style format. I'm aware the Kodi can do this but was wondering if there is something a little more light weight ...an app designed specifically as a music library would be ideal.

There are a lot of media players out there that do what you need, but I suggest Wondershare Player. It can find all media on your server, and in my opinion is the best media player for android. One big thing it does is let you save the streaming url of network streams,which is an awesome feature. I keep a playercorefactory.xml with Wondershare as the default player so if I need a stream url I just move it to my SPMC data folder, click on the stream inside SPMC/Kodi, it plays on Wondershare and give me the option to see and keep the stream url. Now I can just delete the Playercorefactory.xml til I need it again. Plus it even has a browser.

Brilliant - thanks for the reply. Just to confirm the app in the link below is the one you're talking about? and that it can index all music like xbmc would?

BubbleUPNP should be able to find your NAS etc.. then you can select which app you want to use for example to play your music.

Cheers patt2k. I looked at bubble upnp and really like it but there was a limit the size of playlist I can create using the free version. Because my ftv isn't rooted, I don't think I can install the purchased version and get it to validate with the play store. Do you know of a way to do this?
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-sideload-apps-onto-an-amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick-using-an-android-phone-or-tablet/[/
I would think if the free version works so would paid, but be aware they will show under settings/manage apps. If you can't upgrade within aftv you should be able to do it on pc or android then sideload. Can someone verify this?

It depends how the app validates license.. for example for my nova prime I just extracted both nova launcher and prime.
You have to give it a shot.. buy it on playstore or use your resources to get it ,extract/download apk whatever your way of getting things is,sideloaded it and see what happens,.

[QUESTION] How Do I Get SW/HU Controls To Work With 3rd-Party Players (e.g. VLC)

Another day, another question...
Has anyone been able to get SW/HU controls to work on any other players besides the default one on 5.1.1 ROMs? I've tried XposedMTC and the CarService application, but XposedMTC does not work at all, probably due to it only being compatible up to 4.4.4, and CarService starts up a completely different music player. There was an option to get the SWC to work with Spotify, but that didn't work at all. I am guessing that my Android version is too new? I also tried different music players, such as VLC and PowerAmp (which has been confirmed to work using CarService), but had no success in getting that to work either. Anyways, if anyone has any tips/tricks/guides, I am willing to do it. Even if it involves having to mess around with some system files, as I really like the CM13 music player.
Flash the latest Malaysk rom and Carservice will work with your sw controlling 3rd party apps.
You can try to use MtcdTools http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ease-mtcdtools-control-music-players-t3436789

I used this and it worked with both my SW/HU controls, but it would only work in Spotify. When I used a player that was listed to work with MTCDTools, it would keep opening up Spotify and play a random song.

He has had a few versions, have you tried the latest one? It almost seems like the button was mapped to launch Spotify vs setting it Previous and/or Next

Yeah. I installed v1.2. I checked to make sure that the button wasn't mapped to launch spotify. Still getting the same results.
Are you sure you do not have conflicts with e.g. CarService? Definitely it looks like other apps are listening for key press.
What is the second player that you are trying to control?
