Custom EXT's

Custom EXT's

This is a thread to post up random custom EXT's (not stuff dumped from roms, but stuff put together by users). Here's one I put together today. It creates 13 shoutcast .pls files (in \application data\shoutcast) and also creates shortcuts in the start menu for the .pls files (in Playlists, which needs a folder icon if you use it). The app.reg file creates a .pls file association for tcpmp-it may need editting for the path (I have tcpmp in \windows). The package requires mortscript; all it is is a mortscript that creates the files during customizations. It is fully edittable-you'll need to dump the .pls file for any station you want from shoutcast, and then edit the script. I kind of doubt anyone's gonna want all the .pls files I use. The nice thing about using these files is that you don't need a middle-man app to get the shoutcast stream going (e.g. PIE). The script looks like this:

Code:

WriteFile("\Application Data\Shoutcast\Twang City.pls","[playlist]^NL^numberofentries=1^NL^File1=http://67.218.97.133:8888^NL^Title1=(#1 - 12/32) TwangCity - Alt-Country and American Roots Music^NL^Length1=-1^NL^Version=2^NL^")

Just change the .pls name to whatever you want, and cut-and-paste the contents of the file in between the second set of ""s. The little squares for line-breaks need to be replaced by ^NL^. Some of the .pls files are longer than others (check the 'boot liquor' one). I'll post some more later.

Edit: Lol!!! It oughta be named 'Streaming Package'.
Added tcpmp package.

I know; it's so funny, I gotta leave it that way.

I added a tcpmp package to the first post. It needs mortscript to unzip the skin files and also to create the start shortcut. Edit the mortscript to change the location in the start menu that it goes to. The skin is the one on the bottom left of the first post from the thread. I guess it's by listopad-it's really sweet.

Here are three more. The first is the new dotfred task manager 3.3. It's set up to run the cpu usage monitor; to remove it, delete the .dll and the certificates and whatnot in the app.reg file.

The second is PE Info (free from s-k-tools.com). It lets you look inside PE files (kind of like PE Explorer).

The third is the newest version of the google youtube app. It needs mortscript to run, and the start link is in the mortscript.

This is a package with the latest Bing with turn-by-turn navigation. You need mortscript for it to run, and the shortcut is created in the mortscript in the package; edit the second line to put the shortcut wherever you wish.

I've had issues with the XAML files becoming corrupt if I locate this straight into \windows. Whenever I soft reset, all the files in \windows\xaml become corrupt (task 29 doesn't help). Anyway, it works fine for me in \program files, so that's why the package is put together that way.

Edit: Here is a combo EXT of TCPMP/Uzard Web browser. The browser's media player is tcpmp with a crappy skin. I've combined the browser with TCPMP-0.72RC2-ARM-WM6, and the two media players use the same plugins (saves memory). They also use the same custom skin, so now you can make all the same tweaks to the uzmp media player as you can with tcpmp. You need mortscript for this to install properly, and the start menu shortcuts are created in the mortscript.

Hi, great idea but just to let you know there already exist a thread like this with custom packages thanks to Starbase64.
