Thanks to everyone that reported issues, tested fixes or gave feedback!

1.7.3

New features and changes

added large widget (4x4, resizable in both directions), also usable as a lock screen widget on Android 4.2+. On the lock screen, it is recommended to use this widget instead of the standard music lock screen widget, as it offers more controls (volume). Adding this widget to the lock screen disables the regular music control lock screen widget as they conflict with each other

Library Shuffle is now available in the Now Playing screen under Menu > Library Shuffle, with 2 modes: Shuffle tracks and Shuffle albums (new). Shuffle albums allows to play random albums from the Library, with the ability to seek to the next random album.

downloader improvements: recursive folder downloading discards duplicates. Previously downloaded files are not downloaded again, allowing manual syncing of a folder. The notification reports downloaded, failed and existing file counts

added local renderer high quality and efficient resampling of high-res lossless audio (> 48 KHz FLAC, ALAC, WAV, LPCM) to 44.1 or 48 Khz, using the SoX resampler library. Not supported on GoogleTV. Also fixes the high-res audio downsampling bug producing mono output

added seek support for ALAC playback with the local renderer

added "Play shuffled" action to folders context menu and in the top menu of folders containing items (albums, playlists, ...)

added Settings > Display > Startup screen. Allows to set the tab displayed on app start (including using the last one displayed)

added Settings > Control > Wait for renderer on startup. Disable if you you do not want the app to wait for the last renderer used to appear on startup

added Settings > Library > Double tap back shows root. If enabled, double tapping the back button in Library goes back to the root folder. Useful as an alternative if long-pressing the back button does not work. Disabled by default except on Samsung devices with Multi-Window

added Settings > About / Help > Subscribe to BubbleUPnP BETA

the local media server can be hidden (long-click > Hide)

Smart Sort can infer track numbers from track titles
