There are several issues when I try to creat a music player app with Corona for iOS

Isue #1
I cannot play remote mp3 file without hacking CORONA with webview or video object

Issue #2
Can I play a playlist on the background (user press home button) ? Please show me an example.

Issue #3
Can I hide the border of a textfield? I can hide textbox’s border, but cannot for the textfield.

BTW, here is our app video demo: http://youtu.be/9oAKq58mRro

  1. Consider using media.playVideo (http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/media/playVideo.html). It seems odd, but this call will stream audio from a remote location.

  2. Yes, simply add:

 UIBackgroundModes = {  
 "audio"  
 },

to the iphone->plist block in your build.settings.

  1. I believe the hasBackground property is what you’re looking for:

It seems to turn off the border in an app I’m working on. [import]uid: 199310 topic_id: 33377 reply_id: 132699[/import]

Hello again,
If we use media.playVideo, the music cannot playback in the background mode.

:slight_smile: I hope you guy in coronalabs will add remote streaming playback soon.

This is not an answer to your thread, but I wanted to say your app looks great! I can’t read it, but nice, nice interface.
