I will edit post with explanation.

EDIT: (I can attach a file through the browser on my phone, but it's not easy to type there. I've switched to my iPad to type this.)

I figured out steps to recreate. If I just play a playlist normally, it moves to next track. If I switch the icon next to playlist name from crossed arrows (not sure what function that represents) to '1' with a down arrow, then the pause and lock behavior occurs. I can switch the mode back, but still can't resume playing.

So: What do all those symbols represent?

I don't know if this is new to this release or happened earlier, but sorting in music library is different now. Maybe case sensitive? I have one album tagged with dZihan & Kamien as album artist. It now shows at bottom of list (after ZZ Top.)

...and k.d. lang albums disappeared.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Unfortunately, this log doesn't show any error! But first delete (or move) all *.m3u8 from your xenoamp dir on storage and tell me if it helped!

This is connected to today's release, both issues. Will be fixed tomorrow.

Tried again, this time 16 of 37

Also the file names are spot on but no tags
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
What were you doing exactly? Dayabase update or google sync?

I see only one file failed at the very end of the log...
[Android Apps and Games] mpiekp:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.152 (22012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

That was a fresh install, so syncing, then after complete cache a playlist locally.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
No error? Bollocks. Oh well. Removing the playlist files and reinstall seems to have worked. cheers.

Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.152 (22012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Could you implement a feature that if both volume keys were pressed together within a short time it would pause music? For those without headset controls

RELEASE 0.153

New: Unfinished but working: floating xenoAmp widget, see it always, or tell it to go away!

New: Create global sync query with retry, queue view, + choosing download root dir

Fix: Find similar from WPS

Fix: Hang on start, happened with WMA files

Fix: Use query builders

Fix: Case insensitive sorting in music view

Fix: hang on start (M., kicknguitar probably)

Fix: filtering

NEW! Floating widget that sticks.

Put a 4x1 widget on your home screen. Run XenoAmp. Go back to your home screen (but just be sure you don't exit xenoamp, play something first!). Notice little gray triangle (couldn't find a small fine pin icon) in upper right corner? Touch it. Do you see it? DO YOU SEE IT? WOW! You can move it around. In the future - probably dock to edge of screen. Press that triangle to get rid of this annoying feature!

Download dir

Before downloading google music or SMB you have to choose download dir in Patheteque prefs. Download log/queue is visible in favourites as "synclog" or something (of course it is a regular playlist in xenoamp dir).
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.154

* Corrected major synchronizer bugs

You have to choose your download root again!

Note: if you choose "Download" on shoutcast/internet radio track it will get captured to a file on your device, at least that's what I think it will do...
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Xeno control is cool! 4x1 widget still doesn't show any text or graphics. Get message 'problem loading widget when it tries. (This has been it's behavior forever; at least in 2.3.5.)

EDIT (floating controller doesn't show text or graphics either.)

Last album in database is not showing up in music listing. (Confirmed I can see it in the database.)

'Find' function is causing FC. Lots of FCs scrolling through music library. It looks like when it is finally working it will be exactly what it should be: slick, smooth and fast!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I'm a bit confused here...

control won't show current state on run, but it updates on track change. But about the widget... So you say 4x1 doesn't work. What about the others? And if it doesn't work how did you launch control?

You're saying it FCs when browsing music view? And normal search from search button?
[Android Apps and Games] mpiekp:

[Android Apps and Games] mpiekp:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.155 (23012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Maybe the forums corrupted the upload, happens now and again.

155 working, but download files not resuming and xeno plays online version unless you open file directly, download works well if not interrupted.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
RELEASE 0.156

Fix: choosing download or media root madness

Fix: all widgets on old Androids (probably, can't check it)

P.S. I'll be working on downloader today, it will show live view of the query.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Hooray! Working widgets! (With one small glitch.) All widgets display properly in portrait mode. When rotate to landscape, get no artwork, text and the infamous problem loading widget problem. Rotate back to portrait and all is good. See screenshots.

Find is working! One small glitch - if you do a find by pulling up context menu from an album listing, the menu stays on top of the search results. Back button gets it out of the way. Search from search button or from file listings seem to work fine. See screenshot.

Music view is still not showing last two albums, and artwork disappeared in .156 (which makes scrolling in the music view really fast ;) ). Screenshots showing scroll to bottom from 146, 154, 156 attached.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Fixed next release!

Last two albums meaning - two albums in last row?

Last two albums in each row?

Two last rows with one album each?

Also - how do I replicate this menu thingy? In steps?
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.156 (24012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

I thought screenshots would help. In 146, the last three rows are Yello, with 2 albums, then Youssu N'Dour, with one album, then ZZ Top, with one album. Starting with 152(?) last row is Yello.

For menu issue, open an album to get to track listing. Press and hold album title to bring up context menu. Select Search and enter something. Context menu stays visible over search results. See screenshot in previous post for what it looks like.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
Ssuukk,

Given you've already added Google Play and all... How realistic would it be to add Subsonic to Xeno?

I am unaware of how much you know about the service and not sure how easy it would be to communicate with a subsonic server.

I, personally would love to see this however I'd think getting Xeno running smoothly should be your priority, especially if such an addition would be a miniature project in and of itself with such a small niche of people to please (I have no idea how many people use subsonic).

Cheers.

Edit:

I noticed this one or two releases ago: The top bar shows nothing, whether I am in any of the Offline/Online/Both views.

Also note how the list of albums above Adele has no artist. This "no named" list appear as online/both view only. Yet each album has an artist tagged.

Lastly, long named albums easily overlap others making it very hard to read. This you can also see in the screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Subsonic API seems well documented, it should be a breeze.

As for Music view of you both - I'd have to check that. My SQL friend created a wonderful single query for me, when before there was 1 query for each row. It's very likely something's still wrong there. But I'm not sure how to debug it remotely.

Could you show zoomed in view of first row? Can you see artists in this view?
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Got it back for a split second by ungrouping and regrouping a couple of different ways, then lost it again.

It FCs everytime I select don't group for category.

Never mind... user error. Had it on USB mass storage.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
A gentlemen & a scholar! Who would have thought?!

The artist names only appear when I tap to view a single album.

Here's two screenshots.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0mkgygyywuv4q1d/2013-01-24 15.07.04.png

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wkl6a7brvh2w88l/2013-01-24 15.07.32.png

Zoomed in gives me the in between zoom and single album bug which you can notice by the lack of text, yet it is greyed out as if it was the album view with the blue line atop. The second screenshot shows a slightly zoomed out. You can notice the major difference, but still no artist names for the albums.

[Android Apps and Games] mpiekp:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.156 (24012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I need one mp3 per RG style. There are two "styles": LAME RG encoding and APE RG tag.

RELEASE 0.157

Enh: refresh remote control service using AJAX

Fix: refreshed all widgets layout, added pin

Fix: removing playlist entries

Fix: xeno eating last two rows in music view

Fix: FC in "no grouping"

Fix: some changes to xenoremote CSS
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
P.S.: So who's giving me account on his subsonic server for testing my code?
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
Just to go a little further, you can demo it yourself if you download it, subsonic has a demo-server it hosts for you to try it out.

The only thing that it requires from you is: a machine to host 24/7 if you want 24/7 access; "Streaming" will suck if it's internet upload sucks.

I'd say it's perfect for the music collector, audiophile and music nut since you can have more than 20,000 songs hosted (unlike Google Music).

Enough of that digression, I've got a bone to pick with ya good sir, I was messing around with the search feature (which I never did before) and it seems to be out of place compared to the rest of Xeno. Changing to see folders and a very basic view didn't seem like Xeno's style. Is this something you never got to tweak? For example listing "artists" actually pulls up every track with the artist name, instead of the artist them self.

This also led me to rediscover how smooth scrolling can be, and how stuttered Xeno's Music window scrolls. This annoyed me as much as the swiping left and right when viewing albums. I'd like to suggest a "Dumbed Down" version, where you take the basic design you had in file-view and incorporate that with a touch of the Music Window's style. I'm assuming one of the lag issues is the resizing needed for this view. So strip that sucker down. If the bare minimum is still too resource hungry, go totally bare. As always my two cents, your app. Pick your priorities. If I can do anything in return, let me know. Edit: pssst PM coming soon.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I have working and fast Music view with Universal Image Loader incorporated, although without zooming. Unfortunately Android UI was not designed with such thing in mind. The music view I'm talking about is based 100% on standard components, which are well optimised. But zooming, which means resizing nested layouts would be even worse in this case! That's why I asked once if zooming is so important...

Any ideas on how to improve searching?
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.157 (25012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Will PM you a link to a LAME file tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Personally, I really like the way search works. I love the fact that it searches streams and returns things from Shoutcast and 8track. The major improvement I would like to see is that it would only show folders (or whatever stylish view you end up that satisfies KicknGuitar ;) ) that actually have contents. Right now, by saying, 'Found this' and 'Found that' for every folder implies that there is something in it.

Perhaps another enhancement is when engaging find, give an option to then select what to search: albums, artists, streams, everything, etc.

I would also think it might be helpful to combine the output from 8track into the streams folder. Maybe just call that online content or something.

Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.157 (25012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

That widget is amazing, this is a more solid release, everything working.

Download is nice but is only downloading highlighted tracks in playlist, not the whole thing.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
I just realized all the art work is jumbled in Xeno made me think search was not organized. My apologies for the initial post. However, I was thinking of immediate search results, like Google or iTunes. And a more cosmetic comment: replacing the folder icon would look better in my opinion. No idea what though. Maybe stacked cover art? Or a symbol for each. Or is an Icon even necessary? Just shooting out possibilities.

Here's a rough sketch of how implementing iTune's search style into Xeno's might look:

Obviously, this would have bigger bars for the Artist/Album/etc separators to make it plausible to tap on.
[Android Apps and Games] mpiekp:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.157 (25012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Just noticed that online playlists are treated differently to local ones. Double tapping the header selects all in list for local files but not for online ones, this may also be why only the first file downloads.
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.157 (25012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Zooming in and out is not important in the music view IF the scroll acceleration is good and means I can scroll fast when zoomed in if I want to but can also scroll at normal speed. I only ever zoom out at the moment because the max speed I can scroll when zoomed in is not fast enough and it takes ages so I zoom out to scroll faster. Also when an artist only has 1 or 2 albums it looks ugly when zoomed out with all the empty space. Maybe the fixed zoom shows 3 albums default?
[Android Apps and Games] mandy tutpena:
sori to ask silly ques... how to rewind and forward any song???

m new to dis amazing creative catchy lovable music app...

but i dont know how to rewind or forward any song????

help me out...!!!:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Sweep left = next

Sweep right = prev

(unless you change it in prefs)
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Ssuukk told you how move to next/previous track. If you want to rewind or move forward on a song, you can touch the circle (showing faintly in the background and showing you track progress) at the appropriate point from start to end to reset playing position; or touch and drag to move fast forward or back.

You can always go to prefs under sudden emergencies and replay the tutorials.
[Android Apps and Games] mandy tutpena:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.157 (25012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Wen eva i touch d circle, song re-plays from d beggining...

I tried alot bt song starts again n again ¿
[Android Apps and Games] Nordir:
Too hard to start

I think i'm not the first one to say this but anyway...

Con:

1. A user must be your personal fan or need your features very hardly to read through the tut. The perfect tut must be embedded in the proccess and to teach a user only those features he needs now. (i gave up reading it)

2. My usual scenario - i want to select the folder i want to play (audiobook). I couldnt: i saw i'd selected the files from it but got no reaction on which one was going to play.

3. The navigation with tap & hold is not intuitive. Maybe you should reduce the time of holding.

Pro:

1. Nice idea with the circle bar.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
That's problem of the codec. Some codecs don't have seeking implemented (btw. tell me what file does that) and instead of doing nothing, seek goes to the beginning. Can't do much until rockbox codecs get supported...

You see - the tutorial is just ad hoc piece of code I've created for betatesters. Believe me, I don't want to have it in final product!

Try playing folfer either by:

1) folder context menu when in parent folder

2) double tap page header when inside the folder

The time of holding is somehow dependant on overall speed of XenoAmp, which you can change. It has to be longer than system double tap timeout and shorter than system longpress... not much freedom here.

P.S.: listening to audiobooks in xenoamp is probably like taking your familiy for a weekend trip in a tank.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.157 (25012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Touch it at different points on the circle. If you touch at the top (12 o'clock) it will reset to start.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
This is not directed to Nordir but to the XenoAmp community in general.

In reading some of the posts in this thread and the comments on the market, I've been both amused and amazed since XenoAmp got going by the fact that people will apparently spend countless hours trying to get to the next level of some mindless game, but have no paitence for exploring and trying to figure out and master a unique and fascinating app that works unlike any other. :)
[Android Apps and Games] mandy tutpena:
Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.157 (25012013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

I think ma fon doesnt support seeking :(
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
Question is, are they the same people? Or is is a different faction who play game with patience and those without patience using music apps?

I would say a new intro to the UI would be extremely beneficial. some things aren't that obvious but once the user understands how Xeno thinks it's easy to follow suit. If I knew coding I'd write one up myself and offer it for critique.

I think there's a lot of features Ssuukk is also getting implemented which is changing the focus from a UI needs polishing. Again, I'd offer assistance but mesodumb.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yeah, UI will get some polish as soon as people stop requesting support for their home servers! :D But seriously, I always wanted to have tutorial similar to Osmosis tutorial.
[Android Apps and Games] howpathetic:
Awesome player, little confusing UI but it will be fine :victory:, good EQ but I am missing option shuffle all tracks, can you add it please?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well, single option wouldn't make sense, but why don't you

1) add all tracks to whatever playlist (or add "All tracks" container)

2) shuffle them

Should give exactly the effect you need! :) I'm brief, because I've posted it so many times in this thread!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release's not coming for a few more hours, but since I will need to write some release notes, better to do it here:

RELEASE 0.158

New: subsonic support

New: replaygain support in files with APE/VORBIS/ID3 tags.

New: universal sync service (syncs local files, google music, subsonic, tour dates)

Subsonic integrates into music view, but due to way Subsonic presents its data (it's directory, not dadabase), synchronization will probably take looooong. I will implement directory browsing into browser view later. Use "add" key in credentials view to add Subsonic account, the path is of the form:

xeno:/service/subsonic/<your_server_name_or_ip_here>

I haven't tested it with port number though, so it migt fail miserably.

Credentials view is the place where you request resync of a particular service (Google Music, subsonic...)

Replaygain support introduced, for now tested only on single MP3 file :) I'll try to make it smart, so album gain will be used when listening to albums and track gain when tracks. You have to do a "full" refresh of local file database for xeno to pickup gain values (+ on first run the database schema will be updated!) RG not applied to music yet, as it requires some clever thinking in my media player wrappers...

Tour dates sync can probably also take ages and download loads, be sure to be on wifi, not your data plan! The feed is huge even for small god forsaken city as mine, can't imagine how would it look for Paris, London or New York. Change your home city in Patheteque Options, search radius = 200 kilometers. Of course if you live in a small city, better enter some bigger one as your home. I've checked a moment ago and there seems to be a problem with this feed, it couldn't download all the events. Oh well... Anyway do tour date sync (by editing the city) AFTER all other syncs, because only data for your database artists is gathered.

All sync services will be aborted on exiting xenoAmp (they have to be aborted somehow!)
