Fix: 8Tracks working again

Fix: bugs

Note: 8Tracks will repeat first track, but then will go on as expected, as far as I checked it...

[Android Apps and Games] mgbotoe:
great player! experience random crashes when i start doing too much at the same time...i have a LOT of music lol. other than that, awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Thanks! Random crashes with 0.255? If you find a sure way to make it crash, please tell me so I can test it!
[Android Apps and Games] fliperpl:
This music player is AWESOME!

But there is some things what makes me cry :

UI is lagging as hell,using xperia play phone 364min 1.3ghz max ondemand SIO

whole flacs are not playable :/
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Which parts are lagging? Music view? Playlists? All of them? Always? When doing something?

Also what do you mean by "whole flacs are not playable"? Can you send me one as an example? What happens exactly?

Edit: albo po prostu napisz maila
[Android Apps and Games] fliperpl:
whole UI is lagging,when i am changing songs its doing slow,when i want to browser music,its really slow i must wait something like 10sec for ALL do stable with smooth working,also not at all.

I dont really know how i can tell you what FLACS are not working,but some players have problems with that loseless format. Some flacs works,and some dont work. I have no idea what's wrong,but players like Apollo,poweramp,TTPod or smth can play all of these files. There is no diffrent with flacs,one flac with 800kb/s will doesnt work and next file will works with same settings.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Check PM.
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
got a strange behaviour lately.. do not exactly know since when..:

when my playlist reaches the end of the last title and stops after it I cannot get any title beeing played again. I must restart the application to get sound again.

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I'll see if I can replicate it. If not, I will need a logcat!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Checked, can't replicate, need logcat :D
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
if you can't repli-cat, try to repli-dog ;p

okay, here is my logdog :cyclops:

do you need it more verbose?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Looks like you've turned on FFMpeg engine:

08-12 17:43:38.430 D/XenoAmp (14632): FFMPeg priority before change = 0

08-12 17:43:38.430 D/XenoAmp (14632): FFMPeg priority before change = 5

08-12 17:43:38.430 D/XenoAmp (14632): FFMpeg priority after change = -19

08-12 17:43:38.430 D/XenoAmp (14632): FFMpeg priority after change = 5

and it doesn't work. Just not yet. Anything connected with it, besides playin a single track will fail :)
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
true. That was activated. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
phew!
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I know it's not ready, so I don't plan to try it yet, but where does one enable FFMPeg? I don't see it in any menu.

thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
the last entry, "für den Notfall" should be in English "for emergency", there the first one ;)

why ever that was activated :confused:

[MENTION=767982]ssuukk[/MENTION] I did as you said.. Got the log from starting of xenoamp to the opening of play list and closed xenoamp..I don't know how to attach a text file to a post.. So I have emailed you the log at ssuukk2@gmail.com
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Your log was perfect, but I didn't find anything there, so I looked further and found that:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=29472

(one year old Android bug!!!) I'll try suggested workarounds in next release, so tell me if it works/doesn't work when it's published.
[Android Apps and Games] amey_gangal:
My phone's official jellybean release was in June I think.. So the bug should have been patched and included in the release? Anyways.. Waiting for your next release then
[Android Apps and Games] martirio3000:
Judging from the video this music player is the best.

But for me it wont detect my songs....

they are all mp3 in my SDcard but for a reason it wont recognize them
[Android Apps and Games] gigeaky:
really like the idea behind this player but can i make a suggestion? play by folder?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Naaaah, don't suggest. Just go to Xeno filebrowser, select an entire folder, then play it. Or use any file browser, click a media file and select XenoAmp as player. That will do it. (not recursively)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Could you try refreshing db from preferences? If this doesn't work, wait for 0.12
[Android Apps and Games] NiiSyth:
Was caught up in exams and couldn't post....

So using the .11 version and it.s good....

The swiping is still hard...

Keep seeking the song at times when wanna pause....

The widget is back to it.s crashing habit and problem loading widget demeanor....

Also like how the help is provided quickly....

Still in beta and the features I want are already taken into consideration, so no squalms from me....

Just if u could include a tutorial just on starting the app for first time while it scans the directories would seem nice....

Also I seem to quite like how Solid Explorer gives that.....

It.s feature packed and gives us a demo beforehand how to use it to the optimum....

Also u can start with the random song playlist when it starts so ppl don.t see an empty playlist....

Sent from my Black Ace using something.....
[Android Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
UI looks nice, but I had no idea what I was doing. Had no idea how to play files, how to play an album, how to stop the playing, how to exit the app. I haven't looked at documentation yet, but this was the least intuitive app I've ever used.

When holding my finger down for the main circular menu, as soon as I slid my finger AT ALL, the menu options disappeared.

I'll have a look at the documentation later, which will hopefully explain how to use the app properly :)
[Android Apps and Games] bscraze:
Took me 10 minutes of messing around and some force closes to get me used to this =/. Takes a while to get used to too :). Btw, you need to slide your finger to one of the options to select it.
[Android Apps and Games] maarawoe:
Its on my sdcard-ext (its class10 and the access is fast)

It makes no much sense to scan full mount - could you please add a possibility to scan only specific directories?

I'd like to send you a logcat but I have disabled the kernel logging so my logcat doesn't exist....
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well you're used to a way of interacting with media players. So standard way may be intuitive to you. Exiting the app should be straightforward - just press the back button - exactly as in other apps. But you're right. I'll change "DB" to "MUSIC". Watch the youtube demo. Read manual from OP.
[Android Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
Pressing Back while a song was playing doesn't exit the app. I just minimises it to the status bar.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Sounds reasonable. Have you tried pressing back when nothing is playing or track is paused?
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
if you stop/pause the track playin' and then press back it will leaves the app.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Discovered a bug. Not sure how to reproduce it yet.

If I'm not mistaken, here's what I did (something like that; wasn't really paying attention):

Paused playback using widget

Noticed playback hasn't stopped

Resumed/Paused again; didn't work

Entered XenoAmp and exited using the back button

The song was playing TWICE at that moment; the first playback was in the middle of it, the second around the beginning

Killed the "Media" process to stop it

Will report back if I am able to reproduce it.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yeah, these widgets are broken. Are you on JB?

Ok on ,2.3.4 widgets all work if don't select next and previous button, none work with these selected
[Android Apps and Games] KnowledgeBroker:
Really slow file scan on a really fast device(1.5ghz dual core, 1gb ram, etc).. if I wanted to send the app to a friend they wouldn't know how to use it, so a first run "how to use" popup would be helpful(poweramp, goLauncher, etc have something like this).. when selecting files, back button does not go to higher level directory, the app found every ringtone and notification sound, and there is no good way to remove these folders, at least if going thru file structure doesn't work.

Overall, I couldn't even get a file to play, and I'm not sure whether that was the less than intuitive design, or that something wasn't working for my phone.. needs a LOT of refinement to be a viable app.

I am an advanced user, so if an app makes ME feel lost, I would say that 99% of the general public wouldn't be able to use it either.

Just feedback, not trying to be negative, I think the design and goals are good.. the interface just needs a ton of work.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
There will be a tutorial. Please start with reading the manual in OP. But hey, what would you expect from 0.11?

All: Hundreds of FCs fixed, now adding features to 0.12. Stay tuned.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Heee, heee... Nope! Google isn't patching known Android bugs for years! Which is a bit odd.
[Android Apps and Games] amey_gangal:
Tell me.. If I flash another rom like cm10 or slimbean.. Will this be ok?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It will be ok for Xeno. It might even fix the problem, as it seems it doesn't occur on most devices/ROMs.

[Android Apps and Games] mirek190:
I wish support for the OPUS audio as well.

This is the best audio codec so far.

OPUS 64 kbs is similar like MP3 192 kbs.

OPUS 62 kbs

MP3 160 kbs

MP3 160 kbs is still worse than OPUS 64.kbs.

I think MP3 192 kbs or even 256 will be the same quality like OPUS.

OPUS 128 kbs has quality like MP3 320 kbs.

I tested on my headphones BOSE QT 15 and sound on OPUS 64 kbs is excellent.

PLEASE support the OPUS audio .

Nothing happens here, it's hanged.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
I'd try adding my music directory manually from the settings. If that doesn't help, a logcat would help.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well, I see it is supported by FFMpeg, I could add it even now, but libopus-dev isn't available for my ubuntu. And since FFMpeg is experimental in Xeno at the moment, I'm not upgrading Ubuntu just to test Opus. You know - I'm always for anything new, the question is - are you ripping your CDs to opus already? :D

Looks like idle XenoAmp without a playlist. What exactly should happen there?
[Android Apps and Games] mirek190:
I found a source for opus 1.1 beta for arm from July.

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Heee, hee, heee... It's not so easy. I'd rather use FFMpeg framework for consistant API than add new codecs manually, it would be a horror to maintain, not to mention I never wrote anything in C, this language is a mess. Don't worry, I'll get newset FFMpeg and build opus in, as soon as I can find libopus-dev for my Ubuntu.

Release 0.257

Change: cover chooser now shows more covers

Fix: missing playlist action bar icons

Download link: http://d-h.st/0z6

Next release (probably): more cover and metadata sources!
[Android Apps and Games] 39FarmallM:
Ssuukk, I have been getting double starts on the second, third, etc song to play in a list for the last few versions. The second, etc. song will start and play a few seconds then restart and play the song.

0.257 is the first time that I have seen the playlist buttons. Thanks!

The newer logcat has the "Now Playing" not matching what is actually playing. Like in the screenie.

I am running aospX MR1 with Apex up front and a bunch of tweaks in the back.

I don't remember what each of the others are exactly.

Maybe TMI?

I would really like to see your app work. I think it's a gold nugget in a truck load of rocks.

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Strange it works on mine! It should fail everywhere...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
As a temp solution - could you move/copy your xenoAmp playlists elsewhere?

EDIT - hmmm... I checked the code and I can't imagine how the error happens on your machine. Could you try the classic trick of uninstall/reinstall and see if it helps?

EDIT 2 - what rom are you using? It doesn't support any DSP effect! That's certainly wrong, these are supported since Android 10!

EDIT 3 - I've added some logging in current version to catch your case, but it seems bogus...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.258

Warning: metadata downloading partially broken due to changes being made there

Fix: "doubling" of next track on "gapful" Androids

Fix: purging all files when no local sync was added

Note: metadata downloading has some bugs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Your mileage may vary. But when it's working again the results will be more exact and from more metadata sources.

[Android Apps and Games] 39FarmallM:
I was in a hurry and did not explain what was going on with each logcat. Honestly, I couldn't remember what each one was specifically. Seemed as though the phone's memory management was not very good.

Sorry, I had opened Clean Music app and played a song. I noticed when I came back to XenoAmp the eq did not work. Clean Music is uninstalled now. I'm not downing that app, it apparently just does not play well with XenoAmp.

0.257 is uninstalled and 0.258 is in. I did not clean the SD card so everything came back except the pref.s

No more double starts!!!

EQ works. It has, other than the case above.

Can scroll albums without an FC.

Still testing. Anything you need me to check?

Release 0.259

Fix: post-vacation bugfix release, metadata may still be broken

Fix: playlist drawer behaviour, esp. deleting/adding lists

Fix: file browser history fixes + position within visited dirs

Fix: attempt at fixing currently played list entries missing

Fix: a bug that would prevent first track from current playlist to play when clicked

Note: again - some changes that will make Xeno more stable, but I'm sure new bugs were introduced, so... If you find anything unusual, report. I've had problems one time adding tracks to current playlist but I wasn't able to replicate it. Tell me if you can!

[Android Apps and Games] tflop:
Hi ssuukk,

thank you for this great, innovative app.

I am sure this could be the beginning of something great. ;)

And before i could write about a bug i found you resolve the problem with the latest update ... (first track from current playlist)

There is another thing, but im not sure if it is a bug or feature ?

When plug-in the headset the music start playing only if XenoAmp is active in status-bar.

Also its necessary pressing play of the widget twice to start playing music.

Is there a possibility starting XenoAmp automatically when plug-in the headset ?

Also in the context of the headset is the unexpected decrease of the volume after plug-out and plug-in again the headset.

Stopping and starting the playback with the headset button does not have these effect.

IMHO an unexpected behaviour is in the managment of .nomedia browser. If i choose a folder and enable it, all subfolders also have

the nomedia flag. If i try to disable one of this subfolders, nomedia was disabled for all others including the root folder i had

enabled before ...

Thx again for this amazing app
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Oh, my! And I thought I was finishing... :(

I may see that, but I am guessing that since some kernels have such option ("start music player on headphone plug") it might be impossible to do it from the app...

I'll look into it.

Check if the same happens with the preference that falls back to 16-step volume scale. XenoAmp volume management is pretty complicated, on headphone plug/unplug the volume must be converted from system 16-step to xeno 64-step and back, something might be wrong there.

Eeeerm... I'm not sure if I'm following you here, but as far as I can remember .nomedia is recursive, that means - put it in some directory and all directories below will be .nomedia too. Now when you want to enable some directory under .nomedia that means it has to be removed from upmost directory containing it...
[Android Apps and Games] 39FarmallM:
I think this is a bug.

In order to use an eq preset I have to pick sound, go back to the player and then pick sound again in order to select a preset.

You're talking about default sound profile? Because here it always chooses headphone assigned profile without doing such things. Could you be more specific?

Release 0.260

Fix: Adding tracks to currently played playlist

Fix: Currently played playlist empty in playlist drawer (although playing) - should be fixed, tell me if it is not!

Fix: Xeno will start playback on single tap of "play" on widget

Download link: http://d-h.st/koS

Notes to myself:

track looping supposedly broken

fix parent in browser when directory loading (current path != playlist.location)

some mysterious Eq bug that requires entering EQ screen (?!)
[Android Apps and Games] 39FarmallM:
After starting XenoAmp, the first time that I access Sound to change the preset it says Default. When I tap Default nothing happens. I can then go back to the main screen and go to Sound again. Now when I tap Default the drop down opens and I can select whichever preset I want.

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaaah, ok. I'll check that out. You know you can slide it left/right instead?
[Android Apps and Games] tflop:
Hi ssuukk,

Hehe, Dont panic ... I am using XenoAmp only since a few days. This could be a new "love" for me ... also because the audio-player is one of the most important apps on my smartphone ;)

Really ? for me it sounds like user-space related ... anyway ... some other apps, like poweramp could maybe also use a workaround, holding a little service in the memory listening for the headset. In fact, i am knowing some apps having such options for configuration.

I will try to use my profile-manager ( llama ) to start XenoAmp.

By the way, poweramp also has a nice feature i miss now ... every time i press the headset button a little sound ( beep ) will play ...

Thx, you had fixed it very fast ... as usual :)

Ok, setting the fallback option fixed the problem. 16-step volume scale is good enough for me, thx.

Hmm, i dont know what google said about the functionality of .nomedia ... i will search for it. But my test result seems to say no. It will not work recursive. My test was creating DCIM/video, DCIM/video/public and DCIM/video/secret. After creating a .nomedia file in DCIM/video and DCIM/video/secret i could see the video files in DCIM/video/public in the video player, but not the files in DCIM/video/secret. Creating .nomedia in DCIM/video/public hides also these files. Deleting the .nomedia in the subfolders show them all again. Although .nomedia file is present in DCIM/video.

IMHO a minor problem ... because XenoAmp can handle folders to search for the music.

PS: Is there any planning to add more cloud storage provider, for example Amazon S3 ?

Where would be a good place to start a little survey about users manner to manage their music collection in a cloud storage ?

So long
