Sure, I could stop the media scanner, globally. That's a bit like saying you don't want your gardener to trim one hedge, therefore you'll douse the garden in napalm and set it on fire.

Hardly ideal.

In other news:

- long-touch on the edges of the music view does utterly nothing here. I'm stuck with the default view, which when you have a lot of soundtrack and compilation albums is a bit rubbish.

- if I pause a track and sweep left or right it works once or twice, then it sticks to 'playlist finished' no matter what until I go to the playlist view and tap on a track.

- sometimes it loads the wrong cover image in music view for a while.

- some of my covers will not load. They're all embedded. You are caching them, right?

P.S. I'm determined to give it a full go but I'm finding myself shouting at it a lot. There's simply not enough feedback on what it thinks you're telling it to do, it does too many things without giving you the chance to back out when you realize that you touched the screen wrong just so, and when things fail they just fail silently.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
To deactivate either:

1) do what it asks you to do

2) wait for today's release

When sliding right edge you should see a little two-letter index mark following your finger... Could anyone post a screenshot?

Aaaah, yest. Broken yesterday, fixed in today's releace. "No group" probably doesn't work, though. EDIT - default view is albumartist, so if it shows rubbish right now, it won't help you much, you have to edit your albumartist tags to "Various" or "Compilation" to fix it.

But it does show it only on end of playlist, right? What behaviour would you expect?

And then it shows the right one? Interesting. Anybody else observed this?

Yes, I'm caching them, you can send me example problem file and I'll see what's happening there...
[Android Apps and Games] Taverius:
I shall await today's release :)

No, or I would not have mentioned it. Right in the middle of the playlist, still happens. Its annoying :P

Yup. Sometimes it mixes albums up. Sometimes it seems to load one from TEH INTERNETS and then load my embedded one after. :silly:

I'm scrolling up and down as I take in my daily recommended reddit dosage, some may just be slow loading because they're large. When I've got a definite I'll PM ya the file.

P.S. Wishlist so far:

- 4x1 widget

- Herro, can I set the replaygain mode, possibly separate for continuous and shuffle like I can in foobar2000?

- Slow down the scrolling of text in the main window, I'm not the flash and can't read words that scroll across the screen in less than a second. Also it makes me feel old.

thanks for the hint, it works! volume+ raise the volume up on custom Roms like cyanogenmod, i think it is similar to voodo, but i am not shure, because voodo doesnt work on my fon.

i switched the Rom, thats the reason why you became a new email with the Config ;)

The only explanation that comes to my mind right now is that you have externally created playlist with some file missing? If not - can you send me such playlist + logcat captured while this problem occurs?

And that should absolutely not happen, as internet is tried only when getting embedded cover fails. Internet is the last point of search, if it fails just default cover will be shown...
[Android Apps and Games] Taverius:
Will do. No external playlist - just from double-tapping an album.

Can we get some better feedback on which covers are from embedded and which not when choosing an icon for an album?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Definitely a logcat. I tried to recreate this problem, but it works ok here...

Yeah, I guess so, the view currently doesn't show embedded, though, I'll add it to todo list.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Mine doesn't do anything. It worked previously. I'm still on .200.
[Android Apps and Games] Taverius:
Thanks.

205 working better here, but grouping by album artist ain't working for me.

The tag I'm using is 'ALBUM ARTIST' which is the default tag for that in fb2k.

Frankly I'd prefer by folder name, as my files are already maniacally organized, but just having an album artist sort would go a long way.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You can send me your db, (or check it yourself if you know how), but during first scan Xeno is taking tags separately from "artist" and "ablum artist", and they go to proper fields. So if this is not happening for you, please send me at list one problem file that has different album artist, than xeno is showing. Note that for collections albumartist and artist should differ, most of the time!

If you prefer folder names, then you have the xeno file browser!
[Android Apps and Games] Taverius:
I'll send a file. Btw, how do I force a DB update/rebuild?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Go to credentials prefs, see if you have your media dirs added, select a dir, touch page header, select "sync" or "refresh tags" (if you change them outside xenoamp)
[Android Apps and Games] rubaboo:
:laugh: Wow, it's as if you've been inside my head and summed it up for me.

This gave me an idea about a different way to present a tutorial. Say, there is a "learning curve" mode that you can shoose in the setting. When enabled, it asks for a confirmation of your every gesture and highlights the "hotspot" area that triggered it. Examples:

You swiped left here <hotspot highlighted>. This means <explanation here>. Proceed?

[Yes][No] (buttons)

[ ] Show this again (checkbox)

You swirled your finger just so <circle highlighed>. This means Volume up. Proceed?

[Yes][No]

[ ] Show this again

You tapped here <title highlighted>. This means "Rate the track". See "Judging is..." preference to change how you rate. Proceed?

[Yes][No]

[ ] Show this again

XenoAmp 0.204 on cm10 is awesome :good::good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yes, but this is a function of your ROM/kernel. If your ROM supports it and it is enabled, it works. Unfortunately Android apps can't detect volume presses while their GUI is not visible.

Of course, should it be a separate preference?

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Ha! I didn't realise XenoAmp is soooo complicated. Might be a good idea, but I really hate doing these tutorials, it's so boring.

Oh, but resize isn't a supported feature! :D yet.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Hmmm... I didn't notice anything wrong, what should I look for?

Not sure if I can help with that... I may try creating the index asynchronously, which may really change things in your case + disable cover loading at some scroll speed, but the ones that take a moment to pop art the ones that weren't cached, next time you go there they should pop much faster.

Ah, yes. That one's weird. Does it change to wrong cover? and if yes - is the first one good? Does the changed stay as it is, or changes back?

Nod bad, especially if you say your phone isn't newest.

OK, that one's a bit too fast for my old brain. Could you tell me what were you doing?

Investigation so far:

And this means xeno was unable to find embedded cover, as it went to Last FM after "Searching for cover on filesystem:/storage/sdcard0/EasyDownloaderPro/Music/01~concerto_for_violin_and_strings_in_e,_op.8,_no.1,_r.269_'la_primavera'_-_1._allegro.mp3" (btw. finally I know what does the pizza name mean!)

Edit: Vivaldi contains an embedded cover, indeed. Unfortunately, for some reason, android BitmapFactory is unable to decode it, and I can't really help in that case, sorry! If other covers get decoded properly, maybe you can tell me what's the difference between them? Regarding Xeno behaviour towards classical music - I'd say she prefers Steve Reich, who at this time of the world should already be a classic. And a trivia: Polish music students nicknamed "Cztery pory roku" (quattro stagioni) to "Cztery zmory zmroku" ("The four specters of the dusk"), supposedly because this piece became almost pop music.

As for album artist tag:

04-18 08:58:26.436: D/XenoAmp(26442): pole:TXXX==Description="ALBUM ARTIST"; Text="Iboga Records";

I've made a change to jaudiotagger library to support that. But why the hell don't you keep album artist in standard ID3 tag? And do you know more such wrongly assigned tags that I might encounter?

[Android Apps and Games] Taverius:
There isn't really a standard for album artist tags, only conventions. That's the case for everything except the very basic tags, id3 is a loose standard, and v2 has (currently) 4 sub versions which are inconsistently and incompletely supported by major software.

The unfortunate reality of id3 tags is that you'll be putting in a lot more fixes to deal with different software writing tags for the same thing in different ways :)

I will take a look at the embedded covers, and see if I can determine a cause.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
if I didn't point out an issue there wasn't anything wrong. As for the slow scrolling/index lag. a switch in the prefs that offers the old school design of just text an no images. when the user presses the text (ie Artist name) a new view opens with images (albums art is now shown). Xeno Mini

Cover art originally correct, then displays the wrong one. As I scroll around it corrects itself.

playlist shuffle doesn't alwsys shuffle when pressed or pause. I'll try to explain that one later.

Here's another oddity, Xeno doesn't always keep tracks added to the playlist when you add new ones. here's a log, if it shows tracks being removed, it's not me doing it manually (if it happens more than once,the last one I did remove intentionally,i forget if I did it after recording or not.

[Android Apps and Games] cees1969:
I noticed that as well. Seems as if it only remembers tracks that are added to the dynamic playlist while the first track in the dynamic playlist is playing. Once the second track in the dynamic playlist starts, any additions or changes of tracks made during the secondor any other song in the playlist are forgotten as soon as the second track finishes playing. Lets say that you choose track A as your first song in the playlist and commence playing, tracks B and C are then added while track A is still playing, then tracks A, B and C will play as selected. However when track B or track C are playing amd you then decide to add track D, track E etc, as soon as track B or track C ends, the remaining tracks D, E etc dissapear from the dynamic playlist and the playlist ends at track C. I trust that makes sense.
[Android Apps and Games] dynamic503:
How can I play all music file on my phone? Or add all of them to 1 playlist?
[Android Apps and Games] cees1969:
I would suggest using the "File" option from the main music view. You can then navigate to the root level in which all your songs are saved and select "toggle into a playlist" from the small triangle in the bottom right of the root folder name. Alternatively, you can navigate into the root folder to display all your songs and then touch the folder icon on the left of the first song/folder in that directory to commence playing all songs from that point. Each song will be displayed in the dynamic playlist as it is being played. Trust that helps.

Complicated might not be a right word for it. It's just too... "fuzzy"? And to some that presents more challenge than to others. If it was just complicated, I'd throw it away. But the same quality that makes it difficult, also makes it so attractive. It's like a living thing that you communicate with using a sort of a sign language. It's very hard to understand each other at first. But once I grok it, I'll feel like it groks me back, I'm sure.:o

In xeno: root you have meta playlists, and there "Everything" playlist. You can either toggle this entry into playlist or enter it and select all.
[Android Apps and Games] KicknGuitar:
Break down:

2:36

Playing song A. I eventually go to the context menu on the main view and select shuffle.

2:45

Swipe left to go to next track. Xeno registers this ("Playlist finished") but music still plays.

3:02

tap to pause: Xeno says Paused. Song still plays.

3:08

This tap finally pauses the track

Note:

• Selecting shuffle does shuffle the playlist order but does not register which track is currently playing (or for that matter restart the playlist from the newly shuffled order)

I really love your work, it's amazing.

unfortunately in parts of asia personal donation(either way) is stopped by paypal.

can you add something like oasis feng of "

" did.

add an paid/pro version (with no function), and price it in local currency.

pls don't price it in USD alone and ask play store to do currency conversion, pls price it based on local economy

in India play store

typically 7 usd apps are priced at 100-150 Indian rupees. (which follow principle of pricing based on local economy)

My personal suggestion would be to hit sweet spot at 100 Indian rupees.

Why don't you do it yourself?

1) open "playlist drawer" from three dots

2) touch header with playlist name

3) select "new playlist' from context menu

4) name it "all song"

5) go xeno file browser, then xeno:meta playlists

6) open context menu for "Everything" entry

7) select "toggle into playlist"

From now on you have a playlist with all your files, whenever you want to listen to them, just switch to this playlist and... play.

Oh wait! You can just tell xeno "shuffle everything"- quick and easy!

Hey, glad to find this thread. I think your music player is great and has real potential to be one of the best on the Play Store.

It is a bit complicated and not very user friendly at the moment but, the new look for the tutorial is a definite step in the right direction. Another thing I think you could do, is give it more straightforward titles in the Settings/Preferences screen, and go holo there too.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You mean the tutorial is a bit complicated or the player? If the player - could you elaborate a bit more? You know, it's pretty hard to realise what is the problem for someone who created it and knows each bit and piece.

Could you also post a screenshot of holo prefs? I thought mine are pretty standard, not to mention, I have to keep 2 instances of prefs for old and new androids...

As for straightforward titles - the big title header doesn't allow much text + so usual preferences look like:

Enable xsksfdsde

Enable fsoiejfiwji

Enable fjeiwrjig

Enable fiwejfiwejf

Enable fiejfierjfi

Enable ierfjrijgir

(and so on)

Not exactly easy to navigate, nor visually appealing. My prefs, although stupid look different, and have understandable explanation, at least most of them...

Also first boot of fresh install doesn't ask for media file location

Update this way takes ages too
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
As for first scan after install - it scans only the files indexed by Android. It doesn't have to walk directory structure, so it is surely faster than full xenoamp scan.

As for first problem - do you have your media folder added to credentials? If yes - can you start the scan and see in logcat if it visits the location of new files?
