Hey Ssuukk:

I have three albums that XenoAmp just refuses to pull the cover art from the tags. Each is part of a multi-album set and on two them, the same image is in the files for the other album and gets pulled correctly. This is not a problem with all multi-album sets; just these three. I've repeatedly deleted the image from the covers directory, but it just keeps pulling the same internet image. I've tried the image fetch function, but it only pulls internet images. It looks like the fetch function doesn't look in the file as a possible source, because when I try it on an album with the correct image, it doesn't show up in the fetch options.

Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] skysword:
sorry for my late repy

To reporduce the bottom bar dissapearance use the following steps, from the Xeno start.

1.open files list - the files bar is visible

2. pull up the playlist - the playlist bar is visible

3. close down the playlist - the files bar is NOT visible anymore

hope it helps
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Couple problems

Hi ssuukk,

1. On the last few builds I've noticed that sometimes Xeno doesn't load all the way, or at least it doesn't load the last song played. The text will partially slide into view on the WPS and then stop. None of the controls work. If I exit and reopen it seems to work fine.

2. If I am listening to Xeno and switch to another application with music playing, then I switch back to Xeno my Now Playing playlist appears to be empty. Music continues playing, but if I pull up the list it is blank. If I switch to another playlist and then back it reappears, so it seems to only be a graphical issue. This happens on both my devices.

3. This one is the most troublesome. In an attempt to fix the above problems I uninstalled Xeno, cleared data, and reinstalled, restoring my data from backup. I may try not restoring data to see if that helps. But anyway, that being said, I tried to calibrate my headphones on my phone and it takes me through the process, then at the end tells me that my device can't properly drive my headphones possibly due to their low impedance. When I click Next and name my calibration profile, it's flat. It doesn't save any of the data. I have calibrated these headphones on previous versions and it worked fine. I lost the calibration on a previous data wipe.

4. Lastly, sometimes when I start playing music and turn off the screen (or allow it to turn off on its own) the music stops, too. If I turn the screen back on the player acts as if it's paused, but it doesn't indicate that it is paused. The only way to get it to play again is to close and reopen it. Like I said it only does this sometimes (I'd say about 30% of the time) but it is annoying since leaving my screen on uses a lot of battery.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I would need this structure to investigate what's happening. Can you zip it and send to me? In newest version I've added a scanner for local files to cover selector, quick and dirty, hadn't the opportunity to test it, though.

Well, I've tested it on Xperia's stock 4.3 and S2 4.4 and it doesn't happen here. What's your ROM? Unfortunately actionbar/fragments seem horribly infested with bugs.

Looks like the bug that was fixed in 0.313! But hey, why don't you try 0.314?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.314

New: password popup for SMB shares

Fix: various bugfixes to playlist drawer (i.e. current playlist empty)

Fix: various fixes to playlist cache

Fix: cover chooser FC

Download link: http://d-h.st/9zB
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Lol I'm on 0.313 but will try 0.314 today. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Actualy some of your problems look strange, only first two might be connected to latest playlist handling change... Tell me if thei presist in 314
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Zip what structure? The problem mp3 files or the database or what?

When 314 comes out, I'll test the scanner for local files. Does it look at the tags or does it expect to see a .jpg in the folder?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
The folder structure that contains files that have problems with the cover.

Unfortunately the local scanner won't be ready for this release, but it will work on both tags and jpeg. Creating file path for Music View tiles was just too time consuming, I must find a faster way.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.315

Fix: exiting query view from different places

Fix: current playlist empty in some circumstances

New: cover chooser scans for locally available covers

Download link: http://d-h.st/OA5
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
I'm going to spend some time and see if I can see what's going on before I dump it on you. I had these on my old phone and it picked up the artwork OK. The local scanner is not seeing anything (it does see covers in other albums so I know it is working.)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Looks like it would be totally worth it. Can I count on votes?
[Android Apps and Games] mpiekp:
Oh hells yeah ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, it's in the market, but I don't see it yet. So if any of you has the power to recommend it for Friday App Clinic, please do!

Have no mercy for your keyboards / screens!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Oh, did I mention 0.13 is out?

Xeno entry is already there!
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Don't vote for the Spotify entry thinking it's XenoAmp. It's just the comment that advertises XenoAmp. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yeaaah. Thay is misleading...
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Woah. The latest version is amazingly fast. Looks like the cover arts are being loaded during the database update? /o/

EDIT: You might want to add a little notice to the description such as:

The "Developer's Website" button is kinda hidden. :P
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well cover art stays on your device even after uninstall, so if it was downloaded, even if your database is empty you can see covers right after purge and first track is added.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
You definitely did change something in the way they're loaded tho. All of them load now as soon as possible, unlike before when I had to wait ~5 minutes for most of them to load.
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
So guys, explain this to me like a n00b and I may know quite a few things about android but this is puzzling lol

I installed the app since the initial release and have been updating it accordingly, since it's now on the Play Store. Initially there is a "Building of Database" sort of a thing going on BUT I have nothing...It doesn't load any song at all. When I swipe upwards to get to "Main" there is nothing there as well and I cannot swipe to the right and left as seen in the Video.

I was able to go to an Artitsts folder and held on a song to be played with Xenoamp but then again, I only have that artist, with that album and not my entire Music Library.

So I'll be trying out a few things

Option 1: Moving a few songs to my Internal SD card and see if Xenoamp can locate the songs. If this works, it's all good and I'll find a way to use the app. If it doesn't I'll try Option 2. EDIT: Currently Scanning after I copied a few songs over...let's see. EDIT 2: Still don't see anything lol

Option 2: Testing it out on my tablet. If it works, then I know it must be a ROM issue

Option 3: Use another ROM on my Galasy SIII and see if I can use this beautiful app.

Oh btw, I will also attempt the Logo Redesign once I'm home :D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Logcat could answer 99% of your questions... I think...

Up sweep goes to EQ, as far as I know. You should see all your albums in DB, if you don't - there's scanning problem (again!). It is very important for me to sort that out, so please send me a logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
Sounds great man. Just installed aLogcat and will send one with some screenshots too. I have a big feeling that it's the ROM...but we'll see :)

EDIT: Definitely a ROM issue...I can't get any Logcat app to work -_-

No worries though, I will test it out on the Tablet and tell you how it goes :D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Your ROM might have logcat disabled for speed. Debugging apps running on hindreds of phones around the world is difficult. But without logcat it is next to impossible.
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
Seems that way...I'm trying another method by Logging it straight to the SD card and hopefully this will work. Worse case...Through adb :(

Final Edit: Yep...didn't work as well.
[Android Apps and Games] curodot:
Something different happened after installing v0.13(xenoamp beta).

Korean fonts show nicely on the 'Artist/Album' part but they're missing on the 'Title'. :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
hi this problem is related to JB... on JB, non-root apps are NOT allowed to read system logs

To get full log reading capabilities by apps back on JellyBean,

su: "chmod 04755 /system/bin/logcat" . Note that *all* apps can then read !

have a look on chainfire tweet there

hope this help
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
Hey man, thanks for the tip :D

I did however try a method someone told me under my ROMs thread and it worked!

I basically used Titanium Backup to Force .Logcat into a System app. Did a Reboot and tried it out...BOOM it worked! Now, I'll need to send this 500kb log and the screen shots to SSUUKK so that he can see where the issue lies.

I started the log from the Homescreen > Play Store > Installed the app > Opened the app (I let it load the database etc) > Stopped the log

[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
I find that xeno syncs my Google music to often and always runs downloader. What is it downloading? I had to set a download directory just because I got so many popups about it. I would prefer just a daily sync of Google music
[Android Apps and Games] TheST4RL:
Is it normal that after room calibration, the EQ is still flat?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Both cases can happen only if either task fails, there's a flag that gets cleared only on success, in case of download probably something is still left in download queue - you can check that in xeno work directory __SYNC_QUEUE__.m3u8. If there is, just delete the file. But it would be useful if you've send either logcat or xeno log to see what is really happening.

Nope, that would be very rare case! Maybe something's wrong with recording or some processing, I'm thinking about adding some plots after calibration, maybe I will do it for next release.

EDIT - I've found it's also broken here, I'll fix it asap.

EDIT - actually both calibrators work ok, only the display was broken, it is fixed in today's release
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.316

New: wait a bit after calibration to see discovered response curve!

New: it is now possible to remove download queue entries or move them around

Fix: most synchronizer messages will show only in sync notification

Fix: dirble stations playback

Fix: equalizer view showing flat line for recently calibrated values

Fix: strange behaviour on numerous orientation change

Fix: some fragment transaction handling, still needs work

Thanks for answering and keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] TheST4RL:
Hi I'm I the only one unable to play Apple Lossless files (*.m4a)??
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Apple loseless is ALAC or sometimes AIFF, you should be able to play m4a without a problem. Apple loseless plays only on ffmpeg engine, you might try playing, but it is not usuable for "production" listening yet.
[Android Apps and Games] TheST4RL:
I'll try, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] TheST4RL:
It seems that when I use XenoAmp with V4A (enabled in the app and in XenoAmp) changes in XenoAmp like the Headphone Calibration don't take effect. What should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Hard to say without logcat, but there are two ways to use V4A:

1) Turn on V4A support in Xeno and then Xeno is able to manage Viper's equalizer, BUT VA is known to be easily swapped off memory and simply stops working

2) Turn off V4A in Xeno and select a flat equalizer in Xeno - then Viper's effect should kick in, BUT you have to configure your equalizer from VIper's control panel, not Xeno...
[Android Apps and Games] TheST4RL:
So it's possible to use V4A and the Headphone Calibration from Xeno at the same time?

Is there sensitive data in a logcat that I should know about and remove before send it?

Sorry for asking so much questions:p
[Android Apps and Games] TheST4RL:
This is my logcat
[Android Apps and Games] shaolin95:
Tried this for the first time with Sony MDR-X10 and my Xperia X Ultra.

After doing the headphone calibration steps , the graph remained flat so no changes.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] TheST4RL:
Just read the posts above, it might answer your question? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It is :) As stated above - either use Xeno's VA features and if your phone has lots of memory, Viper will stay resident for a long time. Or disable equalizer in Xeno, but copy Xeno's calibrated volume to Viper profile and enjoy calibrated headphones systemwide.

Yes, you're missing the latest version!
[Android Apps and Games] shaolin95:
I got it from the op and it matches the latest from the market so not sure which newer version or is then
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaaah, that's something completely different. Can you post your presets.xml (from Xeno work dir) with the name of preset you've calibrated? Or check yourself if it isn't zeroed?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Hey ssuukk, I'm getting strange behavior on my tablet. When I change screen orientation or turn off the screen (basically anything that changes the WPS outside the app) it stops playing. Sometimes it shows paused and sometimes it's just not playing. I was going to post a log cat but when I turn on logging it works just fine. I tried several times. Logging on, works fine. Logging off, the problem returns. I'm on 0.316.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Logcat would be useful, I've come across this bug and it disappeared after reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I'll try it again. But as I mentioned when I try to capture a logcat the player doesn't misbehave. I'll try later after work.

[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Would you consider adding adjustable scroll speeds for the cover view? I prefer to leave animations on, but I get a lag while scrolling through my albums.. as the list begins to decel and the album animation starts. I figured being able to slow the scroll speed could take off some of the lags presence.

I know I know... It's a small nag, but it's my only one. That aside... it's still my favorite music player.
[Android Apps and Games] amskhan1:

Getting some FCs when streaming from google music.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You mean - how fast it scrolls when you release your finger after giving it some inertia? There used to be such option, but I decided too much speed options is simply bad. I might re add it but maybe you can just tell me where the lag occurs exactly and I can get rid of the lag?

Hard to help without logcat, I'll try to play some gmusic tracks here and see if I can FC it.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Logcat attached. This is from when I turned my Nexus sideways and it stopped.
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Yes that is the option I was requesting... although I also had friction controls in mind, but figured that might be too much:p

The lag I mentioned occurrs after the initial fling as the view starts to slow down (from max velocity). I think it's due to the album covers becoming visible. I tested with animations off and it still happens when the covers appear.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Do I get it right: the scroll is slowing down, you see row titles, but no covers? They pop up after some (significant) time?
[Android Apps and Games] sioxz:
Hello ssuukk i have a problem on my Moto G that runs kitkat.

i can't play Flac files without lagg in the music and google music haves the same problem but i tried with VLC beta and it runned it perfectly.

so can you maybe look up this error and make a solution for it.

flac files have worked on all android versions before i updated to kitkat
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Case : I fling to scroll.. As the scroll slows down, it stutters a bit before coming to a complete stop. It seems as if it's caused when covers are loaded (whether animated or not)
[Android Apps and Games] They Drew First Blood:
flac audio on KitKat

This is a Google issue. Here is a link to info about it. I also tried VLC but it didn't work for me, just lucky I guess. I much prefer Xeno anyway and I am just waiting for a ROM patch for the flac issue.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I think that I've fixed that, thanks to your log!

VLC uses different codecs, that's why it works there. I began looking for a codec pack for Xeno, don't worry!

The stutter I guess is unavoidable, I'll check it though. Music view made the greatest progress in terms of speed / responsiveness anyway!
[Android Apps and Games] sioxz:
Thanks ssuukk you have really made one off the best media players out there and after using xenoamp once can't you go back to the standard ones.

so keep up your good work.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Why don't you tell us?
[Android Apps and Games] Qthink:
Thanks ssuukk now calibrator work, sound output it's amazing now, and slide navigation are fix, but still problem at download manager part

One more, if playing song without have a any cover, the background on main screen cannot changed, it still with the last song cover before. Then if i playing some mp4 format. When paused and plya again It alwas back from begining.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
The only problem I see there is that you've added a subsonic server, but forgot to enter its address.

OK, that's probably fixable, but how comes the song doesn't have any cover? Is it untagged? Is it radio steam or something?

Are you able to seek in this mp4?
[Android Apps and Games] Qthink:
Sory my mistake, i forgot add folder download too.

Yes, some untaged, and mp4 wtihout tag.

If i play with Mx player, it's can pause and resume again.

May be this is stupid question, it's .mp4 can be taged?

I tried edit tag .mp4 but nothing change.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
That's why there's no cover. I'll try to add default cover in such cases.

Again Mx player is using different codecs. I've started implementing better codecs for Xeno, but this requires a lot of time.

Of course they can! Xeno does read tags from mp4s, but I am not sure about writing. Jaudiotagger library that Xeno is using, is supposedly able to write. If it doesn't work, a logcat would be handy.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Remember the issue with rotation stopping play? Well it's also happening when I turn off the screen on my Nexus 7.Logcat is attached. Also, on the latest build (318) I can't calibrate room on my phone. I could before but now it says that correction information isn't available for my device. It's an HTC Amaze (aka ruby). I sent captured calibration data via the app a couple days ago.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Interestingly the logcat shows clean exit. Is the song playing while this happens or is it paused?

As for calibration - I've seen several new ones coming, I just didn't upload it to my server yet. Btw - how did you capture your microphone profile?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
The music was playing when it stopped. I just hit the power button to turn off the screen and it immediately stopped playing. I turned the screen back on and it looked like it does when playing ("Paused" didn't display) but I couldn't get it to play again without exiting and coming back in.

I captured the microphone data using the calibration where it makes the series of "rising beeps" (or whatever you call them.) It then sent me to my email to send the data to you.

As I said, I have calibrated my phone before. I was just going to do it again since I haven't calibrated in a long time for use in the car.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I've meant - what's your equipment and how was it calibrated?

As for other problem - I've came across something odd too, but looks a bit different than your problem, I'm currently investigating it.

When you add a song to playlist or move a song up the order of the playlist or click the three dots to open the playlist at the end all the songs jump on the screen with some weird animation, can that be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
It's just my car stereo. I use an FM radio receiver connected to the phone's headphone jack and I'm able to play music through the car stereo system (not the best solution, but my car doesn't have a built in audio jack.) There is no calibration for the stereo beyond the usual Bass/Treble adjustments.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
But if you send me microphone data captured from your uncalibrated car stereo the data is USELESS! :D What's the code name of your device or the email it came from?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I will see what can I do. It's due to playlist refresh notification.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I don't know how to calibrate my car stereo. Do you mean adjusting bass/treble to how I like it? Plus, I've been able to do this before. It's only recently that this is happening. My phone shows up as "ruby". The email it came from would be billz68@gmx.com.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Calibrated means equalized to create a flat response in chosen environment. That's what Xeno calibrator does. But to do that it FIRST requires microphone curve data, which are useless when captured in uncalibrated environment. I thought I made it pretty clear in my microphone capture screens! :D
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I can attempt to adjust my settings to provide a flat response. However, it still doesn't explain why I have been able to use the calibrator in the past and am unable to now. When I try it tells me that the information is unavailable for my device, when it was before. What can I do to help resolve this?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well, actually it does! I've announced a release ago that I am starting getting microphone calibration data from scatch. I had to do that, as too many prodiles were captured on uncalibrated equipment! :D
