Sorry me again, with a little request, I know you can swipe to skip tracks, but it would be great if it could respond to remote commands ( intent?) from a headset ( e.g next ,back, play pause toggle) volume already does
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Headset, like bluetooth? Currently xeno responds to normal media buttons either on your phone, keyboard or wired headphones.

So if you mean bt, I can add it to my to do.

[Android Apps and Games] mpiekp:
I meant on wired, didn't respond to my LiveWare earphones, but sure bt support would be a bonus.

Testing again with headset:-

Yep tested again and didn't respond, think the issue is that skipping tracks is controlled by a double click of the volume buttons, but play pause didn't respond either.

Ok if the app is closed it opens when I press play, but didn't play remains paused.

I'm really, really impressed with this player and hoping to see it evolve into a no-brainer choice for best music app out there.

I've been trying new versions since .2; pretty much seeing the things that others have posted, which were keeping me from being able to really dive deep into the functionality so haven't commented. I'm on a stock Motorola Photon. All my music is on an external SD card.

The biggest issue I'm having, now that finally the scan is finding my music, is the time it takes to load the library and the less-than-optimal results of the scan. The biggest improvement I can suggest is before doing any scan, allow the user to point to where their music directory(ies) are located. The MoPho has 16g of internal memory and my external card is 32g. The initial scan takes forever and finds a bunch of stuff that I really don't want; like custom ringtones. I haven't figured out how to exclude stuff I don't want.

Keep at it! I keep coming back checking for new versions, looking for the one I can really take for an in-depth test drive.

How to come back of file manager?
[Android Apps and Games] ayysir:
Tried this on two jb ROMs and still doesn't find my music on the SD card...
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
It has. The only thing is you are not able to find how to use it. The player is completely different from others and for me it is awesome :)
[Android Apps and Games] curodot:
Just a suggestion.

When a song is playing and I clicked the playlist, it would be nice if it goes to the current song and not to the first song.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Press hw back or task bar back.

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, selecting scanned folders goes to up of my todo list. Too much complains :)

Press hardware back button, or bottom bar back button.

There's a tight chance that your SD card is not formatted FAT. Do you have android terminal? If yes, could you do:

mount >enter_a_filename_here

and send me the file it creates?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It's funny how whoever designed ID3, thought there are maximum 255 genres of music in the world...

Thanks for the ad in signature.

If you want me to fix your lockscreen problem, wait until today's release and if it still doesn't work, you will have to send me logcat. In todays release, after you touch padlock, you can just touch play/pause/prev/next buttons, as long as they are visible. Let's see if it changes anything.
[Android Apps and Games] mothy1025:
kindly add shuffle and repeat options too
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
No need to, both are there! Shuffle since very beginning, looping tracks and playlist since last week. :D

Shuffle is in sort menu of the playlist, looping is changed when you long touch a track, see release notes on first page, look for track marks.

Also you may prefer 100 random songs DJ to shuffle.
[Android Apps and Games] mats18:
I second that. Love it the way it is, do not put toooo much options and possbilities in it. I personally do not need an universal music managing app (that should be at home on desktop) but a great music player (which xenoamp is).
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well I guess as long as "power" options do not pop in your face, there can be lots of them. Still there's some things regarding the interface, it's got to be easier to shuffle things, as people keep asking for this (existing!) feature...
[Android Apps and Games] n1kolaa:
how about traslating To Srbian?

I can translate it to Srbian
[Android Apps and Games] mats18:
yeah, that's right. As long as they're "in the background" and do not overwhelm the user nor the clean interface or slow down the app. And for sure, everybody has his own favorite options and wishes exactly them implemented (as i did with the rating...).

What's the difference between "update database" and "total mass retain". are the tags only reread with "total mass retain"? these 2 menus could imho be merged.

Keep up the excellent work,

mats
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well - exactly as you wrote.

"Update database" is when you just add new files - it is very fast, it won't check tags of files it knows.

"Total mass retain" is long and slow, it reads through all of tags and reenters them to xeno database.

If you have hundreds of files there's no need for two options, but if you have thousands it makes a difference! And people do complain about database update times.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
The limitations on genre only exist when using a strict interpretation of the tagging standard ID3V1, which was originally created in 1996 and used a total of 128 bytes to contain all of the tagging information for a track. Using 8 bits of that limited range for genre would give you the option for 255 codes.

ID3V2 standards removed those limitations. I don't know if the limitation is in Banshee and it's only using ID3V1 or it's sending both and XenoAmp is only looking at ID3V1 tags.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Naaaah, that must be files with old ID3 only, as it is used as last resort when all other tag types fail

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
RELEASE 0.83

- Fixed scrobbling

- ID3 old style (one byte) genre now converted to genre name (do a full db refresh to see it)

- Xeno lockscreen: you can press prev/next/play/pause as long as they stay visible, without sweeping the finger from padlock
[Android Apps and Games] BWolf56:
I've been playing around with it and it will get some getting used to for sure but I love the idea! The only thing I noticed that really annoyed me is that it seems to have trouble playing songs without any skipping. It happens atleast once a song, I'm thinking it's too heavy? but after reading your thread, I somehow doubt it. Perhaps you'll have a better idea.

Great work!

EDIT: Rebooted phone and seems better. Is there a way to make the volume control scroll faster?
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
Thanks for the quick update. I like the way the lockscreen buttons work now. Also that prev track button bug is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Of course! It's in the prefs! Don't remember the name, but look in behaviour prefs, you can change volume sensitivity 1-10 I think. As for skipping - well, it's reported very rarely, really. When playing in background it shouldn't really happen, as in such case xenoAmp is practically non-existing.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
Is that a teaser you have put under Music Services? I haven't seen Google Music over there before :)

You can get in touch with the dev of utter! app. He has found a work-around to access Google Music inspite of the lack of its API.

About Xeno Root/Your DJ

I am not sure if you already had added the star based lists over there, but it is good to see that :)

I, though, saw something unusual with navigating lists in that area:

- When I tap on 5star, I get to see the songs with 5c stars. But now when I swipe on the "5star" title to go back to the previous screen, it jumps back directly to Xeno Root instead of going to the previous screen Your DJ. Nothing serious, but though of just making a note over here.

I might have missed this earlier in this thread, but I couldn't figure out how to quickly access a folder marked as favorite (in Xeno Root/Your device).

Minor bug: Updating of the covert art on main screen.

- Let's say I am playing a song X and I see its cover art on the main screen. I see the same in the notification and lock screen too. I am listening, the screen turns off and the song changes to Y. So the album art changes too. I see the refreshed album art on lock screen and notification. But on the main screen, the album art is still stuck to that of song X.

- Now if I do prev track and come back to the same track, it see the refreshed album art.

- So the main screen album art does not refresh when the screen in off.
[Android Apps and Games] BWolf56:
After rebooting it seemed to have fixed it but then restarted, I'll play around with it and see if I can come up with somehting. It doesnt do it with every song, so though it was the songs themselves but they play just fine on other apps.

And thanks, I shall go check those prefs!
[Android Apps and Games] coolfire92:
@ssuukk

Xeno won't scan my tracks! None of them are showing up.The database update doesn't launch at all(both options).

Also i added files to playlist from file browser and after adding it forcecloses

Sending you a logcat.Check your pm.

The lockscreen works properly now and feels much faster :good:

Also did you check this out

Xeno on portal again :D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Whoa, that makes me feel warm in my heart :D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Don't worry, google API is already in XenoAmp, the problem is, this service is available only in the USA, unless someone gives me an American proxy server I can't really develop or test it!

All: I wonder - what was your favourite XDA app of the year? :D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
As a small update for anyone interested - I am very happy with how xenoAmp works with fragment API. The code is cleaner and a lot (ok about 5) of unresolved FCs will be finally solvable. It will probably take me a few days until xeno will be releasable again :)
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
That's a no-brainer! XENOAMP!!!
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Dude you rock! I installed 0.83 and rescanned my library and all but 3 genres were corrected. Rock, Country, and one other I don't remember still had numbers, but the rest were fixed. Maybe I just need to reimport and rescan from scratch to catch all the tags.

Also, the lock screen is much better now. It's still a little slow to respond but it does at least respond now. thanks so much for your prompt and quality work!
[Android Apps and Games] Puniacz:
Hey there, I made some new observations testing XenoAmp pretty much lately I want to share so maybe you could do something about it.

First of all the lockscreen - when I turn my display on it appears for a second and then all screen goes off again. I always need to unlock my phone twice to get lockscreen to work. Additionally setting how long controls remain visible after pressing the screen isn't connected with lockscreen so changing it doesn't have any effect on lockscreen controls.

As for non-lockscreen related stuff the currently playing track indicator updates only after playlist is scrolled up or down and it disappears from screen.

There also seems to be an issue while navigating some of XenoAmp radio folders cause sometimes returning to previous folder moves me back one level more than it should.

And for the last there is something I would like to see in future releases if it is possible (or maybe it is already here and I just couldn't find it) .

Basically I often make folders that contain totally mixed music of different genres, artists and albums. Adding it to XenoAmp causes total mayhem in my Music Library and makes it pretty much useless since there are so many artists it's almost impossible to find anything. So me idea is that if a folder with different tags inside is added to library it's name should be displayed in music list and music inside not divided to albums and artists (or alternatively there should be an option to mark such folder in file explorer so it will be added to music library by it's name)

That's all for now. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
Isn't that the whole point of file browsing? Browse to the folder under files and then click top right corner to select and add all to playlist. Hope I helped.
[Android Apps and Games] SirRastusBear:
What release are you on? I too had the lockscreen issue you describe. But on latest release, it goes right to xenoamp lockscreen right off. I love how this app keeps getting better & better!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Could you send me the problem tracks? There must be something else wrong with them. It might also be fixable.

OK, fade out time will be now dependant on the same prefs that WPS screen. "Double" locking was indeed fixed, but still, as I wrote on first pages of this thread - it's unsupported API used for a taks that it wasn't designed for. There will be devices with issues, so if you could describe exactly what happens during unlocking it might be helpful.

Playing track will be probably fixed with new release. I know about radio folders.

Well - yes. As someone noticed - that's why you have a filebrowser. You do know, that you can add entire directories to playlist as single entry, not as individual tracks? Music view is just an interface to database, it shows everything, it's just a GUI for SQL query and I really don't know how to write in SQL:

if (tune is inside directory with many different tunes that have very different tags) then disregard everything you know about sql.

So unfortunately - this won't be possible. But you do know how to change music view criteria and/or search in xenoAmp?
[Android Apps and Games] norbarb:
I don't think app is doing anything in my case. I can't see music in even if i search whole device, sound is as it was before... So wht for is this app ?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Have you choosen your media root properly? Have you run a full scan of media? What do you mean by "sound is as it was before"? What do you mean by "search whole device"?
[Android Apps and Games] norbarb:
Yes to all of your questions. By search whole device I meant I did full scan of media. Did sound should be better with this app?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
The sound will be better if:

1) You calibrate your headphones with this application

2) Use calibrated profile to listen to music with headphones with this application

The sound WILL NOT be better in all other applications. (I am actually surprised how better it is...)

If you could send me a logcat I can probably fix your problem. I want to help as many users as possible, so please stay in contact.
[Android Apps and Games] norbarb:
I did calibrate my headphones, I don't want to use this app as my default player( that explain sound quality)

After I choose root of media I can't see my pictures in gallery or my ringtones in system etc. I had to reset my phone to defaults after I uninstall app so I can see pictures in gallery and get my ringtones etc. So I don't think logcat will help you now. I want to use this app but is not gonna work for me if I have to use as my default player. With PlayerPro I get same sound quality then with this app. How can you prove me wrong. Don't be offended but this is my opinion about this app. From 1 to 10 for me is 2 top.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You can get the same sound quality with PlayerPro ONLY if you set PlayerPro equalizer to values found by XenoAmp. :D But just tell me - why do you want to use PlayerPro?

You mean you can't see PICTURES in default gallery and ringtones in system ringtone selector? That has nothing to do with xenoAmp!
[Android Apps and Games] norbarb:
ProPlayer with DPSpack have exelent sound . About pictures yes it have something to do with xenoAmp. I could see before I install app and before I choose folders with media ( in this case I want to use only folders with music) . After restart all pictures wore gone from my gallery . I did try to recheck media folders and farest i get was I could see pictures only from interior card. All which wore store on exterior card can't be visible from default gallery. Same as ringtones and other media.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaaah... Indeed.

Or, no. Let me rephrase that. DSP is for sound distortion. No DSP will make your sond better. The sound was already made best by audio engineer. All you want is sound that is as close to what audio engineer who recorded and produced it heard. That's what equalizer doeas. Using DSP for music is like having sex in a condom.

[Android Apps and Games] norbarb:
So you telling me is safe...just joking. Sound is just one of reason. Read my posts, and on top lock of interface.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
2/10 still seems harsh. If I would give an app a 2/10, I'd write a ridiculously long post explaining why it's that bad.

Just saying.

@ssuukk

Updating from version ~0.3x. It's gone a long way. It's way smoother now, that I can tell from the first few seconds of use. You might want to update the Play Store's screenshot & video, and make the warning about how Xenoamp is different a bit more obvious, both in the Play Store's description and once you open the app (this comment made me laugh: "UI was apparently done by somebody on an LSD trip. Sorry, I don't want to spend weeks to learn how to play music.Get real! PS it force closed in the menu"; XenoAmp is great, keep it up :)).

More reports later :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
When I'm done with fragments, I'll probably start working on fluidity.

I've read about an interesting experiment the other day. It seems that the brain of conservatives differs from normal brain by reluctancy to assimilate knowledge that differs from "well known facts" and assume a behaviour that is not up to "the ways of our grandfathers".
[Android Apps and Games] xcal321:
Logcat output sent via e-mail. Yes, I installed .82 (uninstalled a much older version), set the path to my NAS using network neighbourhood browsing. I use secrets.xml to provide credentials for the path I set.

Luckily NetworkOnMainThreadException is well known, and Stack Overflow has lots of discussions about it.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaaaaah! So happy network neighbourhood works for you! There's two of us now :D Don't worry, I know what thie exception means.

On the side note. It seems migration to fragments will take me much less than I expected. I still have terrible problems with FragmentDialogs, as they are buggy (by design?), but probably I'll be able to kick their asses anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] xcal321:
Browsing on itself, yes. But the files were not added to the database and somewhere caused XenoAmp to crash. I'll do a reinstall and some more poking around with .83 later tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Naaah, no sense in trying. This code was created for older version of xenoamp api, it requires tuningg to current play engine. It has less than 50% chance of working.

ummmmmmmmmm...?

v0.84 from Play Store

so I happened upon this app yesterday by happy coincidence & although I won't profess to see where the development is going to end up, kind of like a cool mystery tour I can really appreciate the scenic views from the window.. there are some really neat features here.. :good:

annyhoo.. I have a 1TB NAS box, (hacked) &, among other things, run Twonky Media Server on it & wondered whether XenoAmp could offer a better experience than Twonky Mobile or HTC Music. I've already read back on the NAS/secrets.xml stuff ssuukk & xcal321 discussed previously, but as yet have had no success in playing anything from network & had FCs that require Uninstall & SDcard xenoamp directory deletion before Reinstall or else it won't start again (guess I'd better get a logcat)

I can initially navigate to & view Network Devices & Directories but can only view Files in NAS PUBLIC folder, although I have granted User permissions for the others but when I place secrets.xml in SDcard xenoamp directory, all Network access seems lost & Other Devices is empty so I never get to see Access Denied or Access Granted.

ES File Explorer & X-plore both ask for credentials when accessing LAN locations & as there is no Domain used in those apps, I have also tried amended secrets.xml with just User & Pass in SDcard xenoamp directory as follows:

<SambaEntries>

<SambaEntry Url="smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/" >

<Cred

User="xxx"

Pass="xxx"/>

</SambaEntry>

</SambaEntries>

Although quite techie, I'm a little curious about this recently used phrase 'network neighbourhood browsing', which I understand in its Windows context but don't really follow in Android context, unless it does simply refer to Network Explorer type navigation.. if so, I can navigate to my NAS directories very easily, using both ES File Explorer & X-plore.

Other than that, I find the Touch Volume a little difficult to 'circle scroll' (even after adjusting sensitivity) - slow to change up/down & keeps mistaking for L/R swipes & swapping screens, selecting option where finger is, etc.. so I prefer to use use Vol Button. might try screen calibration - & one time today it played track #1 but scrolled track #2 title.

Love the layout & navigation. Awesome app. Tidy!

Diolch.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well - you re lucky with your network neighbourhood, by which I mean "Samba root". For me it doesn't work, I don't see my devices. It worked once, I don't know why. But as I said some posts ago - this functionality is currently broken. It is very close to working state, together with SMB streaming, but just not yet.

I'll try to tune gestures a bit! Probably other people have these problems too.

All - is anyone interested to test newest version with fragments, knowing that there might be actualy much more things broken, than usually? Missing menus, not working menus, such things. Feedback would be valuable.
[Android Apps and Games] artyfarty:
i've a small problem:

i've all my music in ext-sd in a Music folder

i've selected "I want only this folder" but i can't see all the music (all mp3) inside subfolders, just some discs.

tried with "rescan folders" but nothing changed.

what i've missed?

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, this preference is for ROOT of you media files. So select highest common folder that contains your media. Do a rescan, if you don't see it showing number of files during database scan, then something is wrong, send me logcat. After scan your tracks should be visible i.e. in "Music" view or "Query" view as just added.

Samba Root

Ahh, sorry that I didn't catch on that it was broken right now.. assumed that WIP meant it did more than it does in current state.. well, good luck with fixing this then.As for Network Neighbourhood (aka Samba Root).. I got it now. Thx :)

Re: Samba Root : I mentioned in last post that I can get it to read Network devices by removing secrets.xml from xenoamp directory on SDcard.. maybe this is of help to you. I don't recall whether I had to remove xenoamp directory & (un)reinstall app but I can definitely see all Network Devices & Folders when this file is not present.

PS.. Thnx again for reply/assistance & please feel free to sign me on for Fragmented Beta test :D
