New PodTrapper Beta

[marwatk]

Hi guys,

Ok, I finished the major feature I wanted to get in before the next production release: bookmarks!

Basically you can now bookmark the location you're at in playback with a text note, so that you can get back to it later. (I've wanted to do this a lot for letting my wife listen to something interesting). Let me know what you think.

Over the weekend I'll be revamping the feature process for all of my apps, so that any registered users are allowed to vote up any feature or bugfix, or suggest new ones, or comment on them.

I am not sure if it is fixed, but in .14 the countdown timer freezing at 9 seconds left "locking" up the program. The "Sleep timer pausing podtrapper in 9 seconds" $essage shows and freezes. The only way to unfreeze it is to restart my phone. The app is unresponsive.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm uploading a release now (2.1.16) that fixes it.

I can't figure out how to work bookmarks. When I go in and view my created bookmarks I can't get them to play. Also, When creating bookmarks I have to hit OK using the trackball it will not let me use the enter key. It would be nice to able to select the sleep timer with the "s" key and view the bookmarks with the "v" key. I have the 8900. Thanks

Right now the bookmarks are informational only. I was mulling over how it should handle playing them back given that you may not want to lose your position in an unfinished podcast. I think I've got a solution, but let me know if anyone else has any ideas.

I'll definitely make 'Enter' save them.

I'm working out a new system for keyboard shortcuts, I'm running out of keys on the Pearl

Yes I agree with you, I do not want to lose my position in an unfinished podcast. I've always liked how you can stop a podcast and pickup where you last listened. So there should be a hidden bookmark that plays the furthest known position on the podcast. I never thought about the the limited keys on the Pearl. I hope that you will continue to add short cuts for us that do have full qwerty keyboards. Thanks for all your hard work

I just installed Leaked OS 5.0.0.191 on my Tour(9630) and Podtrapper seems to work fine. In fact I noticed a new long awaited feature. . .The volume controls work even with PodTrapper in the background!!

Heh, good to know. Does the Tour have media keys on top?
