CastCatcher 1.4.1 has been approved and should be available on the App Store shortly.
We pulled 1.4.1 and pushed a new build tonight to add a fix for a bug that showed its head with the new iPhone 2.2 firmware. Sorry for the delay but we felt it was necessary to push this fix as it is a stability issue.
- Fixed crash with iPhone firmware 2.2
- Improved SqueezeCenter support (caveats)
- Official AAC+ Support
This version fixes improves Squeezebox/Slimserver support. No other changes. There are some caveats, however, so please see this forum thread.
I’ve posted a list of new streams to be used with CastCatcher on the forums. Please update your list if you’re using any of the default streams. This will be the default list of stations if you remove and reinstall CastCatcher 1.3 (when/if it is approved by Apple, of course). If you remove CastCatcher to reinstall it, any stations you’ve added will be lost so make sure to keep track of them!
We are aware that the built-in stations in CastCatcher v1.2 and earlier are currently no longer working. These stations were a random assortment of shoutcast.com streams to provided an example for users adding their own stations. These stations have since gone down. These default stations have been replaced in v1.3 with live ones.
Current users: please just delete the non-functioning stations and add your own. That is the whole purpose of CastCatcher anyway!
CastCatcher Internet Radio cannot be posted to the App Store because it is transferring excessive volumes of data over the cellular network, which as outlined in the iPhone SDK Agreement section 3.3.15, is prohibited
Right. Except for the fact that every other radio app works over cell network as well AND Apple has approved THREE prior releases of CastCatcher. We’ve emailed them and are hoping to resolve this quickly. CastCatcher does not burden cell networks any more than any other radio application. Ridiculous.
EDIT: We resubmitted and Apple approved CastCatcher and it’s been on the store some time. Thanks Apple!
