RELEASE 0.134

Preference: automatically rescan database on media mount or android media scan (db prefs)

Fix: Probably fixed "add to active [playlist]" in music view

Fix: Back button in music view zooms out to preferred scale

Fix: Fading selected info on main screen

Fix: Scrobbling

Fix: Removed unused progress bar from notification

Fix: Volume "knob" sensitivity enhanced a bit

Fix: Album title in music view a bit more legible

Fix: Cover dimmed when zoomed in

Fix: It's now impossible to click other row In music view when zoomed in

If anyone is going to try SMB with 0.134, tell me, the format of credentials file changed.

P.S. I am looking for a service that would host devices.xml, the file that contains microphone data, so users receive their updates even without whole XenoAmp upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
So far, so good.

I'm missing the behavior in Music view that allowed zooming in and out by tapping on a blank area of the list. Now it only seems to zoom in one time and won't zoom out. Is that gone for good?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Nope, it's due to today's changes, I'll fix it in a moment. [EDIT] Fixed in next release.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
You've been doing great work man.

Here's some updates,

When using the back button in Music for zooming back to previous size work as expected, except when I am browsing between albums in one artist. For example, If I've swiped to an album on the right, then press back the album art will stay dimmed but the track listing will fade.

I forgot to mention this before, the volume preferences have some funny ticks:

• With nothing ticked, Xeno's volume isn't consistant with the phone's. If I have Xeno's volume at half and then use the phone's volume controls to raise it to the max (outside of Xeno, such as when on my homescreen), I may get stuck with only half or 2/3rds of Xeno's volume, yet my phone says full volume. Was this intended?

• "Be my master" ticked, the phone's volume control will pop up sometimes as I adjust Xeno's. I think it's when I hit max volume.

• "Be my master" will not sync it self to the phone or Xeno's volume... Until I adjust Xeno's to max volume, forcing both to be at max, matches them.

Comments,

Something I noticed was fast spinning for volume actually takes more spins than slowly spinning it. Is this just what touch screens do or are there ways to manipulate this? I have the sensitivity at 9. Maybe make sensitivity adjustable up to 20, giving the user more control over it. If you do this you may also wish to give it a little more sensitivity, I personally think she could use another boost. ;)

Cheers.

Here are three logcats where XenoAmp started up on it's own. I don't know what behaviors are triggering it. Sometimes after waking it from sleep, XenoAmp will be running. Sometimes it happens just changing orientation.

Let me know if you can find anything useful in here. If not, I can keep trying to capture occurrences.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Wonderful, I'll look into them tomorrow, I clearly tagged each restart, so it should be pretty obvious.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
I can't reproduce this. I assume you mean when you select an album to see the track list and then press back to return to music view. I tried it starting at all different zoom levels; each time it returned to music view correctly, even if from among multiple albums of an artist.

Good luck here. :laugh: I've been trying to figure out volume behavior forever. Still haven't worked it out.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, I think it's probably possible to sync both, somehow. But "Sweet 16" shouldn't cause any problems, why don't you just use it? Unfortunately system volume is master for media volume. System is 16 step, while media is any-number-of-steps-you-like. So if xeno has 50 steps, it has these 50 steps on each system level. 50 steps on 0, 50 steps on 1, 50 steps on 2, 50 steps on 15. That makes 800 combinations, some of them giving the same volume. Logical would be to keep system at 15 and change xeno volume. But sudden change to 15 causes a lot of unpleasant side effects as mentioned in this thread. So you have this pref that enables adding 1 to system vol, when you run out of xenoScale...

If anyone has better solution to this, feel free to share it.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Hmmm.... I think I'm starting to understand this. When 'be my master' pref is set, when XenoAmp media volume hits maximum, if system volume is not at maximum, then increasing XenoAmp volume is just using the remainder of the 16 steps of system volume up to the max. However, it doesn't seem to work in the other direction; correct?

If so, couldn't you do the same thing going down, start subtracting from system volume when you hit the minimum media volume until system volume reaches 0? This way, it seems like when you were at the minimum or maximum of media volume settings you would be adjusting system volume, which if you didn't take all the way up or down would give you the ability to get to each of the 800 (actually 750; no?) potential volume settings.

In other words, I start out with whatever my system volume is; say at 8, and whatever my XenoAmp volume is; say 25. So I'm really at 8.5. When I take XenoAmp to 50, I jump to system volume 9, then 10. If I back down to XenoAmp 25, I'm at 9.5. If I go down to XenoAmp 0, I go down to system 9, then 8. Etc., etc.

I hope that makes sense; I don't know if it's doable.

BTW; I don't use Sweet 16 because I LOVE the granularity that XenoAmp gives with the 50 steps. I mostly listen in my office through a bluetooth speaker (Creative ZiiSound) and with every other music app, I can never get the music level just right; it's either too loud or too soft.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
Here's a video

I first zoom to an album. without swiping I press back. Back to my previous zoom level.

The second time I zoom in on an album I swipe left. I select this second album. I then press back which does not send me to a "reg zoom" but to the fullscreen album view.

As AGiLiT mentioned, your volume control is awesome because of how many steps. I just like the ability to crank it with little ease which is why I'd like to see more sensitivity, but if I am slow I can gradually adjust it ever so slightly, which the systems 16 steps doesn't do. It makes me feel like I'm actually using an amp! Kudos to you for designing that badboy.

Does System always have to be added to media? Could you have media match the system? as in, system volume changed (with Xeno in the background) when I open Xeno, it should be on the same level as system volume. I need to spin the volume to max to have it "sync" with system volume, which, for my phone isn't very loud. Anyway, I caught some other minor things while I was playing with her on my trips out but I am way too tired to recall them. If I remember them I'll drop em off.... oh and the album art is still around... I think it loads when I press my home button. If I call Xeno from the background it comes back with album art. (Yes I tried playing with the settings, no luck).
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Aha! The video helped. Normally, if there are enough tracks to fill the screen, you can't even swipe to the next album in the row. I had to find an album in my collection that only had a few tracks, like the example you show. (I could also recreate it by grouping by artist; not album artist.) In that case, yes: there is blank space below the track listing and you can swipe to the next album.

However, if you don't tap the album to bring up the track listing, then pressing the back button will take you back to the music listing. It's only when you select the second album that you can't zoom back out.

So I think the bug is that it allows you to swipe if there is blank space on the track listing. If the behavior should be yes; you can swipe from album to album and select them even in track view, I would think that it would work like it does in file menu: i.e., you would have to swipe the album name at the top rather than in a blank space. I leave it to Ssuukk to tell us which way it should be working as designed.

Playstore updated the xenoamp to 0.133. But there sre some songs that are displaying an incorrect album art. How do I fix this? Thank you

Well, spin slow, because spinning fast has one potenrtial problem. Arcus Tangens function :) spinning beyond 360 degrees doesn't give 361, but 0. I have to assume that rapid change in angle is due to passing 360/0 boundary. If you spin too quickly you're making big angle changes which may confuse xeno gesture detector. Migt be fixable, though.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You'd have to give me some more details. First - you can change album art from music view manually. Wrong covers are usually because some standard *.jpg or *.png files are picked as covers. Sometimes they are wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Regarding volume... So you're saying that:

1) if system vol is 7, XenoAmp should on start show that it has about 25 volume, right?

2) if system vol is 15, XenoAmp should show 50?

3) pressing volume up button should ramp system volume and display xenoVolume +3.125? (in such case i'd rather make Xeno voume 48 steps to have integer numbers)

4) xenoAmp fine step volume would work only when system vol is at max?

5) when system volume is less than max xeno volume display will show <system volume>*3.125 to pretend it's Xeno scale?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Heee, heee, heee... In fact, the zoom out to preferred scale didn't wotk at all! It worked in dev for some time, but then I changed some code and it didn't even use the preferred scale! Fixed in next release.

Btw, let me explain how it works. Set your favourite zoom in music view, click album art to zoom in. Click back - the zoom should get back to the scale you set. (or shortly: preferred scale is stored on cover click).
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
RELEASE 0.135

Calibration data updated online, regardless of xenoAmp releases

Empty space zoom toggle fixed

Fixed "preferred scale" zoom out in music view

(this is just a google play release of 0.134)

Currently playing hide&seek with entries below 'Other Devices' (workgroup, devices, shares, folders, etc..). When I do get things to display & so connect to NAS, ie.. open PUBLIC share folder, no entries show up (mp3's or subfolders).

Will see what the weekend brings.. :)

Meanwhile, will attempt to logcat on return from vets later this evening.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
I'm making three assumptions - none of which may be correct.

The first is that what we are calling system volume is the android music stream, which can be adjusted from android settings - media volume.

The second is that what we're calling XenoVolume is XenoAmp's 1-50 volume scale and that it is different from the system volume scale and you can determine the setting of each independently.

The third is that XenoAmp remembers what it's volume setting (on a scale from 1-50) was when it exits.

What I am not sure is how XenoAmp determines what volume to start at. I'm guessing it might work something like current XenoVolume determines the starting percentage of current system volume, and the starting range would be min system volume =0 (at XenoVolume =0) to max system volume = whatever the current system volume setting is at XenoVolume = 50. So if my system volume is at 7, my initial volume range is from 0 to 7 in 50 steps. If my system volume was at 15 when I start XenoAmp, my range would be from 0 to 15 in 50 steps.

What I observe happening is if I start at system volume 7, when XenoAmp volume reaches 50, then the media volume display opens up and each click of volume up increases system volume by 1. Say I take it to system volume 8. At that point the range expands from system volume 0 to system volume 8 in 50 steps. I can back down, then come back up. If I hit 50 again, the next click takes me to system volume 9 and my range expands again - from 0 to 9 in 50 steps..

If I am correct so far, then what's missing is a way to decrease the range in a similar fashion when you spin down to minimal XenoVolume settings.

I hope this makes sense. I'm still trying to figure out how to represent it visually in XenoAmp. Maybe reserve some space at the top end and bottom end of the volume circle to indicate that you're in more of a logarithmic mode when you start making the large steps in system volume adjustments?

If there weren't things you didn't expect, we'd all be on version .001 and this would be a very short thread! :laugh:

Can't get back to WPS from music view after selecting an album or changing zoom level.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Same thing happens with Google Play version. I reinstalled .134 and it works fine.

To clarify behavior: Go from WPS to music. Zoom by tapping. Back button reverses zoom. Back button again, nothing happens. Can't get back to WPS.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well, hope you won't have to wait that long. I was just able to stream Burial from my home media library through xenoAmp! It has guest access enabled, though.

I'll fix Music view exit in a few moments.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
RELEASE 0.136

New: SMB streaming works (currently only for guest access, as authentication seems broken)

Fix: cover won't show on WPS if not wanted

Fix: exiting music view

Note: of course SMB streaming will be much easier when authenticators and network editor are ready. But it does work.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Confirm that I can get back to WPS from music view; thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
It works so well that when I am looking at an album the back sends me to WPS. Was this the original setting, I forget. :silly:

Edit:

Ssuukk, would it be helpful If I kept a log of current bugs/comments in one post here or a google doc? I imagine A list anywhere which I'll update would be useful to keeping your head on straight, but a google doc could be made to allow for others to add their own discoveries.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
I think what you are seeing may be the fix to what I think was a anomaly / bug (or what we sometimes like to call an undocumented feature): being able to scroll through the library when there aren't enough tracks to fill the screen. Namely, if when you are looking at the track listings of an album, it basically has placed those track listings as a layer on top of a portion of the music library. If there are not enough tracks to totally fill the screen, if you swipe below the track listings, it is like swiping the music library itself: You can move from left to right and up and even get to the next row down. I don't think that is supposed to happen. I think when you zoom into an album you should only see the tracks for that album. To see the tracks for another album, you should return to the library and select it.
[Android Apps and Games] WHITE-CZ:
The application is very luxurious!

I use all day!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Great idea. I wonder if bugzilla would be suitable for such a small project, but a doc might be just enough

struggling with 0.136.

after brief moment of clarity by removing secrets.xml and raising minimum permissions on PUBLIC share, we quickly went back to playing hide&seek with workgroup/devices/shares/etc.. in the menu.

ES File Explorer is fine with anonymous login to my PUBLIC share.

After clearing data, (un)reinstalls, etc.., several times this last hour, I'm now ready to throw my handset across the room. I've just lost

* Xeno Root

from the menu list and nothing I do will bring it back. Time to flash a NAND....
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
No, no! First - xenoRoot is aboive unix root, just browse to it and add it again as a favourite! :)

Second - i hope xeno will be able to browse exactly like es, I think they both use JCIFS. What might help you is add either to your favourites or __NET__.m3u8 the path you want to browse manally, so you dont have to depend on semi-working network neighbourhood.

Just add:

smb://somemachine/share/

(remember trailing slash!) Thats how it works for me at the moment. I cant enter this share from network neighbourhood, but it works this way!

[Android Apps and Games] Pop Tarantula:
1. I've added '* Xeno Root' back to the list and all is well. What weirded me out was that I never added it to start with, so assumed it was a preset on install. Hadn't realised it could be simply added as a User Favourite :)

2. YAY! Editing _NET_.m3u8 worked!

May be clunky, but it's a solution. ThnQ...:thumbup::thumbup:

It's just the beginning, it will get better :)
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
I'm not in the know for any of this but if there's a site or app you'd prefer say it now. The idea is to save you time and the headache of searching this thread so I'd think a minimalist approach will do the best. With all this being theoretical, if you're still interested what are you looking to get out of it?

Maybe I can create a simple format out of things like: Build #, Issue type:Bug/Suggestion/Priority, Description, Title (of bug/suggestion to easily reference... maybe a report #) See this as an example.

Also:

Changing Default Cover Image doesn't seem to work for me. Is there a trick to this?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Let's try your idea first. The only problem with public document is it might get deleted or cleaned by anyone.

Default folder might be memory cached and not replaced. Try restarting xenoamp.

Success with SMB (xA 0.136)

Joyous Day! :D

Just edited _FAV_.m3u8, adding smb://mbwe/LOCAL/

I could see SHARE but no content

I edited secrets.xml thus

<Credentials>

<Cred Url="smb://mbwe/LOCAL/" User="****" Pass="****"/></Cred>

I now have access to subfolders in this SHARE & am streaming mp3's happily :good:

[Android Apps and Games] vicky4112:
I am noob and just installed Xenoamp on my XOOM tablet. Yes I am very much interested in playing music on my tablet from my network stored music. How to set up SMB? I am still searching, but if you have a link or directions for how to do it, I would appreciate it.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

where is "secrets.xml" file located? also, can I use the IP address instead of the LOCAL?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It's in XenoAmp work directory, usually on your device "internal memory", just look for the dir.

Mind that I'm not sure if passwords from secrets.xml are properly picked up by xeno. (Edit: oh, just saw it is working)

you can use IP address in samba paths like this:

smb://123.1.3.8/path_to_share/

(trailing slash is important).

But since the feature is available since yesterday, it's not very user friendly, you might just wait a bit until it's easier.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Actually, thanks to a very nice suggestion from one of the testers, another wonderful feature comes to XenoAmp: remote control interface.

So if you have one of those androids on a stick that you plug directly to your tv or amplituner, you will be able to control xenoAmp remotely via http service from any device that has a web browser!

At the moment I have a working service that has play/pause, prev, next and file browsing, I'll be adding music view too. :D
[Android Apps and Games] BWolf56:
Sick! looking forward to this feature :good: :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] vicky4112:
I have edited the _FAV_.m3u8 file to add the smb://192.168.2.1/path_to_share/

I also have created a secrets.xml file since it was not there in the XenoAmp work directory. I used a textditor and saved it with .xml extension.

When I browse for _NET_ i just see the url ie 192.168.2.1 on the top after it says fetching, but no music files... What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I added the path_to_share (Shared Folder/Public) in the _NET_.m3u8 file and now it goes to that folder on my computer and shows Public on the top above the line... still not files in that folder.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Telling this without logcat would be impossible, since there isn't even error display for SMB. All i know about this :D is:

- put your path if in __FAV__ like you did, if it exists and ends with "/" it should be ok. Test it by trying to access it from different computer using the same path.

- put shortest path to your share in secrets.xml, i.e. "smb://192.168.2.1" (trailing "/" not needed here) with your user and pass. Mind that some shares may require domain, in such case use "user@domain" as user field.

If it doesn't work just wait a few days until it's user friendly (or examine the logcat!). There are people here who waited muuuch longer for this feature! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] vicky4112:
Well success at last. I was connecting with my MacPro and still not successful. So I changed to my Windows PC and bingo...

I can connect and stream music.

Here is what worked.

I set up a homegroup with no password required for sharing on home network. This eliminated the need for secrets file.

Then just added

smb://192.168.1.13 line in both the FAV, and NET files.

Now it connects and lists all the songs in the Music folder and I can enjoy the streaming.

Thanks a lot for your help and also creating an awesome player. I am going to enjoy it and further experiment with connecting to Mac.
