I finally had time to try JAMS on Windows. Works like a charm. So exciting to be streaming music at last from Autonomi mainnet! Great work. Very impressive!

I am having a really hard time using this app. I got it to launch on a mac. I hit mainnet, and then it opens its GUI.

I tried importing the playing json posted on this thread, it didn’t do much (no songs loaded up anywhere in the menu system or on disk).

I also wasn’t sure if an account needed to be created prior to searching for a public file to download/stream/play? as the logs just showed this:

[ERROR] listAccounts: {"Common":"Error reading accounts. No such file or directory (os error 2)"}
[ERROR] listAccounts: {"Common":"Error reading accounts. No such file or directory (os error 2)"}
[LOG] shutest
[LOG] Attempting to create a new user: shutest
[LOG] registering...
[ERROR] listAccounts: {"Common":"Error reading accounts. No such file or directory (os error 2)"}

I tried putting an xor address above for some song to find.. it said downloading but nothing shows up on my playlist either, and the logs weren’t updating.

I thought I just spend a few minutes trying out the apps that the community is building out. Any further tip or help would be appreciated.

Regardless of it not working on my laptop, the app does look really cool from the GUI screenshots that have been shared on this thread.

Okay it finally worked! I stopped hitting buttons on the app, and after minutes on end going by… it popped up a screen saying private key generated for user shutest, and I was able to see the 2 songs added to the playlist and downloaded.

Some initial feedback:

  • Add timestamps to the console/log section
  • Progress bar (even the simplest formula here) would be nice in terms of which step of X of Y its on when walking through the high level process of creating an account, if possible
  • Full path on which file its expecting to find for listAccounts (local or against the network?)

I also realize this app might be phased out due to PirateRadio, and if so, just ignore the above.

Just as a full disclaimer, to be honest, I am not really fully up to speed on the libraries that were used to build this app (even the autonomi libs as I haven’t used them much to develop against at all), so this is just some initial simple feedback (as if I was a dummy user off the app (first time)).

Glad to see it work in the sense that I didn’t need to configure any other app or setting (all self-contained)!

Cheers!

PirateRadio would be supportive of Jams and vice versa, so Jams will remain a corner stone.
I would like to get a web and mobile version of Jams out at some point too.

Unfortunately, I’ve been extremely distracted and consumed by home improvements and the 9 to 5, etc. I’m hoping to get back to it soon though.

Your feedback and suggestions are excellent and very welcome @Shu
Much appreciated and I think those would be solid improvements! Thank you

Is there a mobile version of ANT client or libraries that’ll work to be built into Android / iOS apps?
