Problem with closing the app

Hello developer, first of all i congratulate you and thank you for the wonderful app. I am using the the latest build (0.302). I have an xperia mobile running ics. On it the notification menu of the app is not working ( that is i cannot change the track or pause the play in the notification menu). Also on killing the app by swiping it the notification still persist and the app runs in the background. Using the close button in notification have no effect. The volume change by drawing circles doesn't work too. It will some time work and some times not. Can you please fix it. Apart from this glitches the app is super.
[Android Apps and Games] Madpiercing:
Can't believe i haven't seen this player before! Can't wait my phone finish charging to try it!
[Android Apps and Games] Makishima:
Of course, you are quite right. It was the flux capacitor, not the overall speed but I found it anyway. Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] fire_kid2003:
you're a life saver

i killed half my brain cell figuring it out

thank-you very much
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Thanks! :D Anyway - for your lockscreen problem I would need a logcat captured when it doesn't work. I use the lockscreen sometimes and didn't have any problem so far, so I can't do anything without your logcat.

You can always multiple select, but if you mean "select all" with just one click, there's an icon with + and stack of somethings, that toggles the selection. If you mean anything else, though, write me.

OK, what Android version do you have? Notification buttons won't work on <4 I guess. Also - killing Xeno by sweeping notification is not implemented, because it would kill Xeno when you tap "remove all notifications" (know what I mean?). I think I might have fixed Xeno not going away when notification close button is pressed (but then again - it requires OS support for notification buttons). As for volume - the gesture requires curvature... if you draw a line that is almost straight, it just won't work. It's based on counting standatd deviations and I think the threshold is pretty liberal just now... Before I change it, please try drawing some circles :D

As far as I know none of existing APIs can play Google catalog music right now (Google Music API is non oficial, probably even not legal, so you see... it is all I can do), it can access only the things you've uploaded, sorry.

If you could just remind me what was so difficult?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Like the famous division that saved Great Britain, so now we can wash your dishes,

it's a

Xenoamp

Release 303

New: preliminary UPnP support (+ changes in XENO: root dir)

Fix: Smaller memory footprint when WiFi off (Xeno will shut down SMB streaming/remote control and UPnP service)

Notes:

1) you can now browse and play media from your UPnP (DLNA) devices. The entries will be fixed later (now you will see http://yourmediadevice/82jfuewieujfwef829/britneyspears.mp3 in your playlists)

2) to follow KISS rule, all playable network nodes (SMB and DLNA) are now kept in single place, inside xeno: root directory. No more lenghty scanning on every entry to "Windows network", Xeno will just silently start scanning for windows shares and UPnP nodes when connected do a WiFi network. Found nodes are preserved between sessions, for quick access

3) when WiFi on, Xeno will start three background services: a) download manager (if required), b) smb streaming + remote mgmt and c) UPnP + smb discovery service

4) when WiFi off all three above services are shut down, you can't play smb or DLNA without network, anyway...

So happy new year (where applicable) and have fun!

P.S.: Since I'm temporarily out of BugSense, please report any serious bugs before I release it to Google Play!

Oh that's sad, but still like your app!

For me the hardest part was figuring out how to get into the preference menu. :)

A first time popup as you have it when you access the library would help a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] Makishima:
Either I am useless at using the lockscreen or it really only works when it feels like it. I don't know if it's in there, but it only works well for the first couple of things I press and then it only works few times, after countless tries. Here's the log...

Buahahaha...
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
Looks very interesting indeed, I've pretty much always just used Power Amp for last few years but am willing to give this a go.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
I can't for the life of me figure this out, is there a video explaining how this works, very confusing.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Heh, sorry not yet. But for quick try: long touch main screen to bring up the circle, sweep to "Music", double click an album. Voila.
[Android Apps and Games] Madpiercing:
hi guys, can someone walkthrough me throug headphone cal? am i supposed to click next when i hear the sine or when i hear the sine and the distorted sound togheter? because for the last two band of the eq i can only hear the sines and sort of a pop in beetween,but not the distorted like signal. can someone explain how to do it correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
One question - are you using Xeno lock screen or generaln Android lock screen?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
If you hear a sine or distorted TONE - tap that you've heared it

if you hear just clicks - don't tap (it will stop xeno from amplyfying the tone that you obviously don't hear or you headphones can't play, mind that some headphones are just unable to play some tones...)
[Android Apps and Games] Madpiercing:
oh good..i suppose i can hear almost everything on my headphones..so let me see if i have this right, i nave to click Evert sine and tone i hear (so 2 click per DB level) or only one time when at the start of the sine? thanks for the software btw it's really great
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It doesn't matter how many times you click, it matters when. You hear harmonics = tap. You hear click = do nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
It's still quite slow on my nexus 5 for a lot of actions, my playlist was 80% wiped, have no log and it took me so long to add everything back on as the delay between click to add and it adding is around 10 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] Madpiercing:
ok all good now! thanks again.. have an happy new year :)
[Android Apps and Games] Makishima:
The problem is with the Xeno lock screen. I used Xeno lock to recreate the problem for this log and, hopefully, it will be in there.

There is a tiny problem with the normal lock screen also and that is that although everything works fine, when I change a track the name will either not change at all or change with a time difference. But it's not anything really annoying.

And Happy New Year!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Another unfiltered logcat, please. I haven't observed this behaviour on any of my 5 different devices... :D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, I see it. Are you 100% sure that you've started the gesture on padlock (center of the screen?).

EDIT - I

suspect

what might be the problem, but then again I might be wrong. We'll see next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Makishima:
I am quite sure I started it on the centre. I did it many times, I tried pressing the buttons when the menu had appeared, but most of the time I did it starting from the centre. Looking forward to the release.
[Android Apps and Games] morgan2toi:
looks great thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 39FarmallM:
Hey ssuukk! I've been out of circulation for a while. I have an unrooted Galaxy Note 3 now, if you need for me to test anything. The new lockscreen is cool. Do not have any issues with it. Just installed the new release so I'll keep playing with Xeno to see what I can find.

Sent to a tower near you from a GN3! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
And the best thing is I didn't have to move a single finger to create it! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] m4r50:
Same question ...

Making me understand: When accessing the option of the first image (Music) I would like to select more than one album (second image) and send all its contents to the playlist. Already have doing this? Or should we implement?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You can do it by "entering" each album (single tap), and then taping first icon (a stack with +).
[Android Apps and Games] m4r50:
Multi selection by album - Part II - The mission

Ok. but, in some cases I have much albums from the same artist, and, to enter each album to add it's very tiring. Therefore, I suggested a checkbox in album's interface level but, if don't possible, perfect, I'll continue adding the albums by tapping and hold the album's art and selecting "Add to actual list". ;)
[Android Apps and Games] qqwen10:
closing trouble

First of all sorry for the late reply, been out of internet connection for a while.

I have stock ics 4.0.4 xperia rom.

By swiping, i mean we do get task manager in ics by holding the home button. There by swiping the app windows we can clear the memory when the app is not working. It closes the app and clear the notification from notification bar. Also i have observed that the player controls in notification bar are not working. It was working fine, ( I can close the xenoamp by notification close button) in 0.296 version:)

As for the volume change i think i pretty much figured it out(my device has 3.2" screen so it's pretty much cramped):o
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
In such case - it is even easier! Toggle all for first album, pull left, toggle all, pull left, toggle all, pull left! :D

OR

disable column grouping, select all from required artist!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Oh, that one. OK, I have absolutely no knowledge about this. I guess it kills just GUI, not the service. I'll see if I can find any info on this. EDIT - sweeping in task manager only kills activities, not services, sorry. I have no way to change this behaviour.

So close button works, but play/pause dont?

And the comments by Dianne. Further follow up.
[Android Apps and Games] qqwen10:
oh ok I get it. swiping only kills the foreground process not the services.

on the second matter

no you got it all wrong, I said while I was using xenoamp .296 version,the buttons(play, pause,next,previous) and notification close button where working just fine.

now in .303 none of this buttons work anymore.it's like an unresponsive notification. got it?
[Android Apps and Games] Qthink:
On. 303 the headphone calibrator it's working?

I try it a couple of time always get same result.

how to disable song cover

Hi,

Is there any option or any way that I can disable/hide the songs cover, at least the thumbnails?

The song list scrolling is slowing to a crawl and I really have no use for those, they are just eating memory.

I am on a Samsung Captivate, latest SlimRom JB

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Sedariya11:
Why cant i find the newest version of xeno? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] They Drew First Blood:
Re: xeno latest .303

It is posted about three pages back, here.

ssuukk doesn't update the OP unless he has another well-tested release to add, I think, so the OP is still on .300. Oops the OP is still on .298...my mistake. You can Search This Thread for posts by ssuukk to find the releases, or just scroll through whatever the last five pages of the thread are because new releases and test versions are posted very frequently.

:D

Thanks for all your hard work [MENTION=767982]ssuukk[/MENTION] and I am still testing with ViPER, I love your Xeno interface and am dying to leave Poweramp behind but I can never leave ViPER behind. Still a bit quirky to have Xeno with ViPER active without issues but that is probably my user error, I don't think you could Keep It any Simpler for this Stupid (meaning: me) without losing that Xeno style but I'm sure I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong if I keep trying. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.304

Change: HUGE change to track display code, might have introduced new bugs anywhere track/album art is displayed

New: better handling of UPnP tracks, look more like any other track handled by xeno

Fix: potential fix for Xeno lock screen not responding to gestures

Fix: attempt at fixing playback controls in notification on some systems

Note: anotherground breaking (for me) change to xeno code that left it uncompilable for several days, so be warned. But this will cause (hopefully) better responsiveness, smoother artwork downloading and less playlist view refreshes. This change influences all places where Xeno shows tracks (title, album etc) or cover art.

UPnP tracks look pretty good now, although due to how UPnP works you won't be able to play them right after xeno starts (i.e. if your last playlist contains them)

Download link: http://d-h.st/zh6
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Don`t think it`s broken, have you tried it with different headphones? Some are just good enough to play all freqs correctly. I will test it though.

You`re right, they`re eating a lot of memory. I can add an option to hide them, it will just require some time.

Please try this: uncheck viper support in xeno, zero Xeno equalizer and then see if changing viper settings (from viper) works. Report back the results.
[Android Apps and Games] skysword:
Also, I saw that, when selecting a file (to add it to a playlist), Xeno refreshes the thumbnails for the whole file list, resulting in a very long select time.

Longer the list, longer the select time.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Qthink:
Yes. I tried with 2 different headphone the xz headphone and my old bb headphone but the result are the same.

The result always like this...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I'd say it looks like it works, because:

1) last frequency is highly boosted, because you didn't hear it, which is obvois as probably no headphone can reproduce it (and if its box claims otherwise it's a lie!)

2) First frequency is boosted a bit, which is usual for bass (not as strong as other freq usually)

Of course this makes me think that unhearable frequencies shouldn't be just mindlessly boosted (you should bring it back to level of other freqs) Maybe I will fix it, leaving the boost for unhearable lows and zeroing for highs.

Anyway - I'm using a few pairs of pretty good headphones and differences between the curves are pretty subtle, not more than +- 2 dB, only in bass or highs regions. Don't know what kind of equipment you're using, but the curve you've showed (apart from last freq) looks right to me. (so it should be really +1 dB and then 0s to the end)

On 4.4.2 ! Xeno AMP + V4A , sometimes it works but not lasts long , sometimes xeno amp force close when i open V4A to do the setting and then it doesn't work !

How to make a logcat sir ?
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
I'm on 4.4.2. I can tell if v4a is working or not because the volume gain doesn't work. To get it to work I force close v4a and it auto reopens and works. Then to get the eq to work with xenoamp. I uncheck and recheck the box in xeno prefs which seems to turn off v4a and then uncheck and recheck the box which turns v4a back on and the eq works

Hey I love this. But as long as I use it I cant find one function. Also cant fing in any other player.

I want to enter my sd card, choose for example 3 songs from A folder, 5 songs from B folder and create playlist with chosen songs. How to do that as I cant find this??
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
On the What's Playing Screen, press and hold to bring up the circle and select "Files." From there you can navigate to any folder you like and tap songs to add them to the current playlist just as you would form the "Music" view.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
... or create a new playlist from playlist drawer actionbar and add them there. Basicly if a track is highlighted in file browser, sheet view or query view then it's in currently selected playlist.

Finally have player which works on cyonegen and almost as good as sony walkman player. Thanks a lot, it really helped me. Not so hard as it looks like.

For my full happiness still need few things:

1. I disabled all animations. But for example small tiles with covers in file manager are still animated. Is there any way to disable this animations? Or other way. I have older phone and it takes a lot of time to load all small covers in file manager. I want to disable this, and want to be showed only text. I there any option like that, as cant find?

2. Sometimes it is force closing. Most when listening music and open playlist from downside of main screen and select another song. Nothing wrong for me, I can handle this. But after starting this there is again full volume. It is coming back all the time after restarting app. Is there any option to make app remember last volume level and after running app again to have this level??

Sorry that so much :) but these are last to things for my fully happiness. I have unofficial cm10.2 installed.
[Android Apps and Games] qqwen10:
thank you

thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

you made it perfect, now all the controls are acessable and volume change is soft. no trial and error method. super responsive. once again thankyou for this wonderful application.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
What's the problem with orher players on Cyanogen? And I am happy to be a Sony owner, so tell me what's better about Walkman so I can shamelsssly copy it to Xeno...

I've overlooked that animation, of course it will be fixed to work with "no anim" preference. And yes - I can remove icons from track entries, I'll add another preference.

Wrong for me. It can't force close :D I hope I can spot this error in bugsense, so be sure to make it FCs a few more times! :) And yes - Xeno does remember the last used volume (or rather - it resets system volume to the one that was set before you start xeno), but this obvoiusly can work only when it closes normally. This is because Xeno sets full volume for media playback when it starts, as it gives best audio quality. If you don't like this behaviour you may choose to stick to normal 16-step volume, you loose replaygain and volume guard, though.

OK, but which one was fixed? Notification playback controls or lock screen controls?
[Android Apps and Games] lsander:
Just my preferences. All players I tested were not enough for me. I wrote on cm but meant that there is none ported walkman for cm10.2 for my xperia so nees to use other player. Every player i was using was too heavy or overpacked or not enough functions.

Sony walkman is better for me as it is so simple with that high quality. It just more comfortable. Nothing more I think. Just my preferences. About functions walkman has even less then xeno.

Thanks for fast response anyway
[Android Apps and Games] GoaLitiuM:
I can't get Samba shares to work at all. There seems to be no failure messages regarding authentication failure when adding the path from settings. After restarting XenoAmp, I get authorization failure messages. I can browse my SMB share with ES FileManager just fine using same credentials.

XenoAmp wizard doesn't seem to do work at all, pressing the green done button on summary page does nothing, and no settings are changed after pressing the button.

Disabling animations also disables every icon and album art icons too.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I would need a logcat for that. Did you add user/password to credentials?

Yes, it doesn't do anything, it's a GUI demo :D

Fixed next release.

Just for your information, I've found out that Bubble UPnP can actually access all the Songs which have been added to the Library in Google Music.

They don't have had to be uploaded by the user.
[Android Apps and Games] lsander:
Hey I found when exactly have force close. When I change tracks to fast, or choose too fast option by option. Probably problem because of my older phone but if this is possible to somehow make log of this problem then will send.

Just tell me if "report problem" from popup window after force close is working?? Is it sending data to with log?

Or maybe another way as I have no idea how make log of this problem. Just dont misunderstand, I know how o logcat. I just dont know how make log of this crash
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.305

Google Play users - please check update log for two past releases that weren't published to Play

New preference: don't show icon for each track (hides loop and playback marks, though)

Fix: headphone calibrator will not boost unhearable highs

Fix: animation still showing despite noanim pref

Fix: various cover obtainer fixes

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I've got error reports automatically, just generate some errors. Search this thread for logcat, it was described a hundred times :D

Slow, slow... Bubble UPnP is an app for playing DLNA/UPnP. Does it also support Google Music? And what does exactly mean "added to the library, they don't have had to be uploaded by the user.". Google Music is unavailable in my country so I have no idea how it works :D
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
How does replaygain work? I thought that the iTunes sound check would add metadata so that it could be read but it seems that only supports ipods. Does xenoamp handle all this itself and detect the volume change needed?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Nope, the metadata for gain has to be embedded in tag while encoding or with some software after encoding. Xeno takes this value (albumgain if playing just a single album and trackgain when playing a mixed playlist)
[Android Apps and Games] derasd:
Yes Bubble UPnP also supports Google Music.

You can either upload your own songs to Google Music and then play them from anywhere, I think that's what your app can do, or you pay around 10$ per month to listen to all the songs from Google, which is called all access. With all access you can then add the songs you want to your library in the Google music player. I thought your player is able to play the songs from the all access library but it didn't work. I then found out that Bubble UPnP actually can access those songs.
[Android Apps and Games] skysword:
Excellent, now the directory scrolling is very fluid and the memory usage is now half

As a small suggestion, maybe the directory name should be with a larger font when the thumbnails are hidden, to make it a bit visible. (I know that "Folder" is written below folder name), Is not so important, just a thought.

Also, I noticed that there are 2 services loaded (streaming and upnp) that some users might not use them. I killed them and the app is running normal. Can an option be added to avoid loading those?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, I'll check that but are you referring to Bubble UPnP Android or Linux/Windows? As Linux/Windows has a better Google Music implementation wirtten in Python that CAN do do All Access, for sure. Java/Android API didn't have it so far, so if you're referring to Android Bubble, that would be interesting!

Sure there can be an option for that. The servives are running only on Wifi connected, you know?

Streaming is for playing SMB shares music and remote client (go with a browser to http://your_xenoamp_device_ip:41075 and see it :D)

UPnP is... for UPnP
[Android Apps and Games] derasd:
Yes, I'm refering to BubbleUPnP for Android.
