Motorola Motoactv :: Manually Create A Playlist In Linux?
Jun 21, 2012
Until I can create and populate a playlist via a native Android app, I wanted to see how feesible it is to create a playlist manally in Linux and put it on the MA.Its amazingly easy.ere is what I did:1 - I mounted the motoactv and browsed to the <mountpoint>/mobile/mml folder2. I created a new subdirectory - (I used "local" but I dont thing the name matters"3. Using a playlist created in the Itunes subdirectory as a template, I created a playlist (which is just plain ascii text) and put the list in my "local" subdirectory. The name of the playlist file is what will be used as a playlist name. I called mine - "libtest.pls". All I did is change the path to my Music folder, change tne NumberOfEntries entry, and change the directory slashes to match the windows style.he contents of my "libtest.pls" playlist look like this - Playlist]File1=mediaMOTOACTVMusicBluesAynsley ListerTower Sessions�1 Soundman.mp3File2=mediaMOTOACTVMusicBluesDelta MoonHell Bound Train�9 - Ghost in My Guitar.mp3NumberOfEntries=2Version=2
I have searched extensively but have not found the answer to this so if I missed something i apologize. Can workouts be manually logged on the Motoactv website? The reason I ask is I am concerned about the accuracy of the pedometer so If I choose to do a workout at the gym can I then just manually enter it on the website based on the information from the treadmill.
I've probably done 1000 miles of riding with this thing on and it still thinks cowboy junkies would somehow improve my performance . I've never listenned to half the stuff in the playlist and a bunch of it is really slow paced...
I like to a keep a fairly basic workout log (right now I use The Athlete's Diary, a very simple iPhone app) and since my runs and bike rides are automatically logging all sorts of cool data into my Moto account, I'd like to just add a few basic details manually from other types of workouts (swim, weights, tennis, yoga). It needn't be too complex or detailed, just time, distance (if applicable), calculate pace, and maybe a free text area for notes or titles of events.
Can I select a specific playlist to play when I select the autoplay music when I start a workout? When I went into the music screen and set the playlist that way, I couldn't get any coach feedback, but when I set the auto-play function it played all the music, not just the playlist I wanted.
I've only had my MOTOACTV for a few weeks, and its been slowly developing my fitness music playlist. I thought this was a really cool concept when I got the device. Now the issue is, I have a lot of music on my device that I just like to listen to on a regular basis, but not so much during a workout. When I was working out and those songs that kill my buzz play I skip them, but even with a second of playtime, it logged the music with my average heart rate and activity during the song... which then placed the song into my fitness playlist.
I was wondering if there was a way to input a workout manually on the website. I went out today for a run only to realize that I didn't have enough battery power to record the workout, so I went out without recording it to my device... now I want to add that workout to the site.
Under Fitness Zones, Basic Heart Rate Zones, it has my resting heart rate as 60 bpm as detected by MOTOACTV. Max HR is set as 185 but I want to update that, manually, to 190. When I make the change, there is no OK or SUBMIT button
I have a motoactv. The installation was ok. Everything was going fine, until I tryed to create my MOTOCAST ID. I am connected to the internet, but I always get this kind of message: "the device was not able to connect to the server. Try again in a few minutes."
Is it a possible to create a workout without scheduling it?I have a list of workouts I typically do. I would like to create a list of them and, when I decide to workout, I could pick a workout from the list and do it.Right now, the MotoACTV portal requires that I schedule any workout I create. That's not flexible enough for people who are not on a strict schedule.
Is there a way to start a competition that is something other than running, walking, cycling, elliptical or step machine? For example, if I'd like to create a competition for spinning, is there a way to do that?
I play the same courses quite often. And, I have certain things that I would like to manually map as spots that I like to be at on the course on any given hole.Is there a way to hit a button on a location on the course and manually mark that spot? Like a custom targets per hole?
I am trying to create a route to go for running, there are no streets just small paths in a park, so I need to know how can I create a route without having streets (maybe using the map in terrain mode?) I would like to see how can I use the device for trail running, and how to follow the trace on the Motoacv's screen. I have created a route using the webpage and then created a workout using that route, but I couldn't found a way to follow the route.
I see people posting workarounds on how to create pace zones (as an example) so settings will stick....I can't figure out how to create them in the first place....where would I input the data? The drop down only has "my zone templates" - and is not selectable. Am I in the wrong place?
On the Motoactv Software Upgrade 7.2 release notes it shows a "create workout" screen with options I am not seeing (such as warm-up and cooldown). If I add a new workout, these do not show up as options. Why? Has this update fixed the issue where the unit does not cycle through the stages automatically?
Motorola has not released Route Creation, so you can't create a Route to follow when you run or ride. Motorola please release products only when all the features work and are can be used!
I plan to use this device for activities other than just the 5 or 6 activity types listed - for example - monitoring heart rate and calories burned during strength training or other types of cardio activities. Is there any way to create a custom activity type - or if not, can you add a few more generic ones? ...perhaps "Other", "Cardio", or "Strength"?
A friend and I are trying to get rid of playlist that we did not create and they are interfering with the playlist we did create. To much clutter. Is it possible to get rid of them?
The problem now is that if I have more then one folder, all the songs from all the folders will be mixed toghter and I will need to search for every song in the very long list. Is there any way to create playlist from specific directory? mybe using nokia pc suite or windows media player?
I have just receive my new X8. Do you know how to create playlists with the music player?And if not, is there any music player available on Android market who can create playlist?
Seems Touch-Wiz on 4.4.2 has taken away this feature. On my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active I could use Any Cut to create a short cut, and while Any Cut still has limited functionality on 4.4.2 it no longer shows Playlists. Just trying to create a shortcut to a playlist, so I do not have to navigate through multiple screens to start the playlist I want to play.
I have an iPhone 4 and recently purchased a new computer. The technician transferred my iTunes files and they are all on my new computer; however, when I try to create a Playlist, I'm unable to drag it to the iPhone device. It worked on my video iPod, but not with the iPhone. When I try to sync the music library, it says that I will delete all files on my iPhone.Â
I used to be able to create playlists on my iPhone by going into the Music app, the Playlists, then choosing +New Playlist. Â
That option doesn't exist anymore. When I go into playlists, only playlists I have synced to my phone from iTunes are there, no option to create a new one one the run. What happened to it?
I have a (Linux) Fedora 14 machine from which(USB) it isn't possible to transfer files to my Xoom (miniUSB). Another thing, it looks like Xoom-owners outside the US are treated differently, e.g. no Google ebooks are available, the Skype App is without videocall et cetera. Why? (I live in Sweden and the price I paid for my Xoom was ~$1,000).
