I would definitely have a look at the following to ensure you are generating a proper mux_launch.sh script. Along with a mux_lang.ini for multiple language support in the frontend.

You can also place a custom glyph at a folder called glyph along the application icon specific in mux_launch.ini.

Also ensure that you don’t use hardcoded paths, feel free to ask any questions about creating a compatible application. Also ensure that you are packaging it as .muxzip which is a standard STORE compressed zip with the extension renamed.

Thank you for your feedback! This is my first muOS app, so it means a lot to get as much feedback as possible in order to provide the best user experience. Will publish a new release soon :smiley:

I added a new release which contains a .muxzip archive, and the installation can now be done through the Archive Manager.

I am struggling a bit with the glyph. My archive has the following structure:

Pocketstream.muxzip

  • mnt
    • mmc
      • MUOS
        • application
          • Pocketstream
            • font.ttf
            • glyph
              • app_icon.png
            • mux_lang
            • mux_launch.ini
            • mux_launch.sh
            • pocketstream-app-arm64

mux_launch.ini has the following content:

[Application]
Name = Pocketstream
Exec = mux_launch.sh
Icon = glyph/app_icon.png
Category = Media

but the default application logo is still rendered.

5

you don’t include the path or .png in .sh file it is just thename of the icon

Icon = app_icon

but also it would be better to name it with your app name and rename your png

Icon = pocketstream

The only requirement is to be connected to the wifi. Yes, the old releases did not have proper structure, be sure to always download the latest release.

Since the device screen is usually small, I initially thought it would be better to always fill the whole screen while playing the stream.
But you have a great point, I will probably add an option in the next release to switch between ratios :smiley:

A toggle button would be fantastic :slight_smile:

I’m on an RG40 so my screen is a bit larger, so I’d prefer unstretched streams :slight_smile:

I tried on RG35XX H and two problems:

Hey, sorry to hear that. I plan to work on the app this evening, so I will check what’s happening there :grin: About the loading screen, can you verify if you have an active wifi connection?

16

Yup, I transferred the file through FTP.

Hi, the Favorites list no longer seems to load. The favorites are still in the json file and you can still add and remove channels from the list, but when you hit the right arrow, it says no favorites even if you have favorites who are live.

This did work previously so I think something broke there.

18

yo i tried it on loose goose and no luck it didnt install properly would u please be able to make it work for loose goose on an rg35xxh.

19

i got it to install by renaming the file from muxzip to muxmpd and the app is really cool.
