Radio Player on the Forum

[Inseriousity.]

It's not about saying all ideas are worthwhile or that everyone must agree at all times, more an understanding that not everyone is capable of brushing off critique and adapting your no accordingly or we just end up with a forum where a small minority are the only ones willing to share feedback and ideas.

I'd rather open a new tab for hxl rather than it reloading every time I go on a new page.

Thanks for your suggestion @iGenius; .

As it stands, the majority of the forum users don't (and don't wish to) listen to the HabboxLive radio. We can't help that, which is one of the reasons why the radio is in fact on another site and isn't integrated on here. As stated in previous posts, we have other ways for you to listen to the radio. The most obvious would be to just open a new tab. As well as this, however, we have the Chrome extension you can use which will play the radio no matter what tab you're on and no matter what tab is open.

If you're interesting in the extension mentioned, you can install it by going here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...gdmichgdmmcmli

Of course, it will require Chrome.

Hope this helps. Sorry if we couldn't be of more help to you

There used to be the HabboxLive Desktop App that I used to prefer rather than the Chrome Ext. It was easier to click pause, close and send shoutouts, what ever happened to that?

I can remember it being taken down, but I can't remember if it was ever put back (sorry if I'm wrong)

I listen to it via TuneIn online now, because I'm just lazy

Pretty sure the HxL desktop app was by David, and david left so I doubt anyone else could/could be bothered maintaining it.

[David]

that desktop app was worse than forum dueling
didn't even have a volume slider

[Jazz]

it did have a volume control, it was updated with it after first release

its a shame that no-one maintained it, when it worked properly (like the last month) it was a good little app

The Desktop App we were told would have no lag yet it was worse than actually opening a tab to the radio. I still have it on my other laptop .

I see no use in a desktop app. The only apps that I would view as purposeful and keeping up with the times are mobile apps for Adrois and ios. I could get a friend to work on this, but there simply hasn't been enough interest gauged in order to go through all the headache of doing so.

I've requested the plugin be added to the bottom of the forum, as has always been last week, but was informed that it wouldn't work anymore due to the fact HxF has been updated and thus it wouldn't be compatible. When I have some spare time, I may scout around for an alternative.

As for a radio player playing in the background, from a purely egotistical standpoint, I'd say OK. But the fact is, many normal forum members have no desire to listen to HxL, and if people were that keen, they can obviously open the main website or use TuneIn Radio app via your phone (which is another argument why a mobile app isn't essential as well).

Would it be possible to make the Chrome extension work on different browsers? I have the Chrome extensions on Opera, but the extension for HabboxLive doesn't work.
