Well it is blasphemy in a sense that you are sacrificing end and beginning of the song somewhat, but end of one song starts to fade out, and next one to fade in in that crossfade time, so effect can be very nice, like one big continuous song...

I like it very much...

Am I mising something?

Deleted bunch of music from the phone, but when I go in the Music in xenoamp, it is still there...

How to rescan music folder?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Go to preferences, then "where's my music", select the folder you want to refresh and rescan (circular arrows). If you didn't define any music folder so far and relied only on initial scan, then it's high time you add it! There's really no way to discover you've deleted something outside of XenoAmp. But you can trigger automatic Xeno database refresh on Android media scan finished.
[Android Apps and Games] Hotyson:
I did that, it says synching for a second, and then nothing, deleted albums still show in music view
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Then I would need to see the logcat captured during refresh. Do you know how to generate one?
[Android Apps and Games] Hotyson:
Not yet, no. I'm pretty new to this stuff...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Easiest would be to look for "logcat" in Google play, install it, filter by XenoAmp and send the log to me. Otherwise, look here:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/141073-learn-logcat-like-pro.html
[Android Apps and Games] Hotyson:
I will do that tonight.

Tell me, is it possible to triger initial scaning again?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Nope, initial scan just copies Android media database to XenoAmp as it is the quickest way. After that you're supposed to properly add a directory (in "Where's my music). The only way to trigger it is to uninstall and reinstall.

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
If it is not playing doesn't mean it is idle. I.e - if you've just opened Music view for a first time it will start a download queue for covers in the background (to be sure I would need a logcat, though). But it's very likely it's using lots of memory for caching cover images. Media scan (be it local, google or subsonic) is a resource hog, though. It can kill other apps and slow down your phone.

For comparison: on my Galaxy S2 it rarely gets past 31MB of RAM and has insignificant load on CPU while playing.
[Android Apps and Games] Mchael T.:
Too Much Bloat

I installed it last night, I recharged this morning, then had to recharge again,,,a real battery muncher it is.

"Uninstall"..........

So,,,,How do I shut down all the background stuff and only have it monitor my MUSIC folder on my SD card.

And do this quickly before it locks up and I have to do a hard reset.

The rest of the stuff is nice to have, but

I do have Mp3tag to do what I want to see in my music.

There is a LOT of bloat in your app. I would like to give it another try, BUT, it has to be more resource friendly.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
First - locking up is not a good sign and it would be great if you could capture a logcat of this. It's some unique situation - if it wasn't I'm sure someone would report it until now, but you're the first.

Pausing and pressing back button on main screen or taping "X" in notification widget should kill all, but I am not sure about cover obtainer (I have to check that) which is indeed battery and resource hog. So first question - are all your covers present now? If not - Xeno will continue trying to obtain them in the background...

To monitor only music folder on your SD, go to prefs. then to "Where's my music" and tap "+" which will allow you to select a local dir for sync.

Don't hesitate to post more questions, but logcat would be crucial to find out what's happening on your device. DO you need help with that?
[Android Apps and Games] Mchael T.:
Ummmm,,,,,,yup!

Did Google Play just update as well?
[Android Apps and Games] broprah:
First off I want to say that you are completely awesome. I love this app, I've been using it for months now. The dedication you have to this and the frequency at which you update is staggering, I wish I was half as motivated as you are. That said, I've run into a pretty significant bug with the latest (0.251). No matter how I configure it, music view is only displaying one column at a time. That is, when sorted as artist by album, I can only see the first album. The files are definitely there, I've repopulated the library twice now to no avail. I'd suggest it has something to do with your most recent library view optimizations. Otherwise, everything is as buttery smooth as ever.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Fixed! I've realised that it's broken yesterday. That was one of the experiments to speedup music view. Uploading new verison now!

P.S. Thanks for some nice words, mon!

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yes, but Google Play takes hours to distribute. For logcat, start with downloading a logcat app from Google Play (i.e. aLogcat), filter with XenoAmp and send a capture captured during worst moments. If this doesn't work, try this, but it's more difficult to master:

I would love to help, out but the most important thing for me now is to get a respectable ROM in this phone.

Something broke the charging cycle and % reading, I've done a temp 'Fix', the battery issue is a priority via a new rom.

#1) New ROM, faster is better.

#2) Have the ability to USB tether.

#3) Download torrents via 3g (browsing plan:fingers-crossed:) and tethered.

#4) THEN you software........

Good luck in the meantime.............

OH!,,,,,,,,and BTW, I duel boot Ubuntu an W7
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaah, so XenoAmp migt be not the one to blame.

Ubuntu is a bit bloated, but usable. I build Xeno on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mchael T.:

2) Is STABLE..........
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
XenoAmp might not be the one to blame for bad process scheduling on your device :D
[Android Apps and Games] Mchael T.:
Me again.......

Your app is eating 75% cpu, AGAIN, I keep getting slowdowns and lag. Alerts from the task manager as well.

YES,,,,IT IS your app, not the battery issue.

So I force close,

Then start it up again, there goes the cpu spike as its doing the F###ing file scan AGAIN.

Every time I dismount the internal cards for some file transfers, then restart, I cant use the pone for 1/2 Hr until the file system scan stops.

This setup you have is really bothersome and inconvenient for me as I frequently dismount the cards.

This file system you have developed is so over bloated and cumbersome to navigate, it is bordering on ridiculous.

Why do I have to look at the internal operating files in your app just to get to my music folders?

Seriously,,,,,STOP THE INTERNAL SCANNING!,,,,,just do a simple 'Point me to your music directory(s) to list' system.

I'm deleting your app, going on to the ROM I need to deal with,,,,,

Probably will look at your app in a year or so..........

Hopefully you may have a simpler file system, what you have created is a nightmare.

Best of luck

As I finish this,,its @ 83% cpu............................
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You see - unfortunately without your logcat we will never know what's happening there! You can read through this whole thread and you won't find complaints about 75% or 90% of the CPU, you see... Maybe no one else is using this task manager (whatever it is).

XenoAmp won't scan the filesystem on sd card mount unless you tell it to, if you didn't check a preference to do so then there's another bug. So did you or did you not?

You see the "filesystem" i developed is nothing more than a bunch of string operations, I doubt there's anything faster in Java, besides integer calculus. And what do you mean by "have to look at the internal operating files in your app just to get to my music folders"? Your music folders are where you put them!

If you mean to stop scanning altogether then you don't need a music player, a file browser will be enough for you. Scanning is needed to gather metadata from files. This requires opening each music file and in some cases - reading it from beginning to the end. It is a CPU and IO intensive operation. Without it all you would see is a file name and if it is enough for you then again - stick to file browsers.

And no - it won't change in a year unless I know what's happening on YOUR system!

But as a side note - your nagging prompted me to clean up XenoAmp thread usage. I doubt it was connected to your issues, though, but it will make it easier for other devices which could struggle with too many threads running in the background.

Weeel, there might be more systems like his and I would really want to know what's happening there (besides this mysterious "Task Manager"). Who knows how many people ditch Xeno because they have similar problems but don't care to report them?
[Android Apps and Games] NoSpamDan:
Seeing "respectable", "downloading torrents" and "tethered" in the same post... now that's effing funny. I would definitely get a newer ROM, like CM10.0-10.1 on your phone (if you can find one), and avoid (mostly illegal) torrents. Too bad Motorola announced no ICS for the Atrix 4G... still on GB? :crying:

I couldn't agree more.

Thanks for your great contributions here with this app ssuukk, I think XenoAmp is effing awesome! No CPU or scanning problems here, running Slim 8.0 JB on my Skyrocket. My 2 32GB SD cards take maybe 15-20 sec to initialize if I swap them. You have been too nice entertaining entitled complainers here.

Maybe corrupted music or torrent fragments are sending the CPU for a loop when running XenoAmp? I've attached a screen shot of Android Tuner CPU usage while playing one of my 2-year-old daughter's favorite songs (and another shot of this song in the player with CPU usage turned on). Somehow that song just seems appropriate. ;)

Hi ssuukk,

Just wanted to let you know I finally had a chance to wipe my Nexus 7 (including the "internal storage") and see if I could get the multiple paths to it straight along with retrying calibrating my speakers. I tried a different ROM, wasn't happy, so went back to PACMan (but now on the latest build). The database structure seems to be the same, but XenoAmp is able to access it correctly now so I do have all my Xeno Root features available again! There must have been some corruption somewhere. Also, I calibrated my car speakers and voila!, it worked! I don't know if you changed anything (I'm on 0.252) but it seems to be all "fused and everything" (see if you can find that quote!) now.

Thanks again for a great, and unique, music app.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Release 0.253

Fix: threading cleanup. XenoAmp will now use not more than 5 threads, all will be cleanly finished on exit

Fix: register in Android as generic music player

Fix: starting media from external browsers

Please read so you know what to hunt:

Note: less threads means less resources and less places to break something. Since there are only three worker threads/queues, some tasks have to wait for others to finish which may cause occassional hiccups and nothing-is-happening situations. For example: a big one I fixed just a moment ago - since resolving shoutcast entry (getting station name, bps and so on) was using the same thread as cover display subsystem, no covers popped up in music view or playlists until shoutcast station data was read from the Internet. So if some function seems to be stuck or doing nothing try to think what you've been doing a moment ago and report!

Bug report

Hi ssuukk,

I just remembered this one that has been happening for the few builds I've tried. If I restart a track (like if I resume play after stopping the app and want to start the last song over from the beginning), when it gets to the end of the track it pauses instead of just continuing to the next track in the playlist. All I have to do is hit play on the lockscreen or tap the screen in WPS to resume, and after that it works fine.

Minor I know, but annoying nonetheless.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Strange. What about logcat?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Google couldn't. How could I?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Haha. It's from As the World Turns, an old soap opera my best friend and I used to watch after the original Dallas was canceled. The character Royce had multiple personality disorder and a doctor had "fused" his personalities, and another character used that phrase when asking him about something. I thought it was funny and it has stuck with me all these years!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] andresrivas:
Atrix now has up to 4.3. CM10.1 is 90% complete, and I've going back and forth between 4.0.4 and CM10.1. I do agree that his priorities might be the problem (Especially torents)

Problem might arise with incomplete torrents. Also, he could just pick the music folder so no other get scanned.

BTW, I'm having an issue with playlists: Randomly, when the next song starts playing, it re-start after 1 or 2 seconds... no big deal, but worth to mention. As soon as I can get a logcat I'll post it here.

GREAT Work, ssuukk
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Hmmm... And I thought I've fixed that. What Android version do you use? It should happen only on Androids that don't support gapless... <4.0.4 I think...
[Android Apps and Games] m4r50:
Where's the equalizer?

Hi ssuukk,

I have configurated the equalizer to my cellphone but, now, when I have saw the Xenoamp functions, I haven't found the awesome equalizer. Better, I have found but the message "Sorry, but your device doesn't support equalization the most fun feature: equalization. It will be available in Xenoamp some time later, though.", appeared. Why? If, before, I equalized to a better experience? Where's the awesome equalizer?!?!?!

Sorry for the english. I taked a help from the Google translate :cyclops:

[EDITED]

I'm sorry, I forgot. My cellphone is a Motorola Milestone 2 and my Android OS is CM10.2 (Android 4.3).
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It would be hard to tell without logcat. Please search this thread for information how to capture one (probably on previous page...)

BUT if xenoAmp says that there's no equalizer it simply means that xenoAmp received unresolvable error while trying to create equalizer instance. It will be dumped very early in the logcat. If you can wait for today's version, I'll add some more debugging info, then you will prepare your logcat, OK?

BUT Android 4.3 might be the problem... Maybe they forgot to implement equalizer? Maybe it has bugs? Maybe it crashed and will work after restart?
[Android Apps and Games] m4r50:
Really. I guess the new Android 4.3 was the problem. Already, that version was under development by Engle_Mars on XDA. This is the first revision/version. Maybe has a limitation. Ok. I'll talk with Engle_Mars and I'll see if its possible has a problem. Thanks. I'll return... :D
[Android Apps and Games] andresrivas:
I'm on ICS, 4.0.4.

For now, I'll try to switch to a different rom (to cm10.1), since this is a leaked (unfinished) rom, it might be its fault and not yours :)

Problem is, on atrix 4g latest oficially supported, problems-free rom is CM7, which, as you said, doesn't support gapless
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Right. I can simulate that by forcibly disabling gapless in Xeno, I'll try to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
[MENTION=767982]ssuukk[/MENTION]: just to let you know... I recently put 4.3 on my device (very early build)... And I had the equalizer error as well... After a restart I was able to use the equalizer, although it was still a bit buggy due to the new android version.
[Android Apps and Games] m4r50:
Unfortunally, I rebooted the device, wiped cache and dalvik cache and nothing. But, how I said before: It's the first version from the custom ROM and has more stuffs to fix. Now, It's just wait.

But, thanks for the idea.

[Android Apps and Games] amey_gangal:
How do I create a new playlist or rename the existing one..that's a really stupid question to ask but can't help it
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
When you unfold the playlist drawer (three dots), the third icon in action bar looks like a page with lines. That's playlist menu. You can create new, delete, rename, clear and so on.

Just tell me so I can make it more obvious in the future - have you seen this icon, but never touched it? Or...?
[Android Apps and Games] amey_gangal:
There's no such icon
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
So what happens when you unfold the playlist? What do you see then? Can you post a screenshot or something?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Whoa! That's interesting! What device/rom/android version is this? Does anything change in landscape mode?
[Android Apps and Games] amey_gangal:
Device is Sony Xperia S(Lt26i)

Rom-stock Sony jellybean

Android version-4.1.2

No..nothing changes in landscape mode..
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, for me it looks like a bug in ROM. I'll create a build for you without an option that forces action bar icons on the bottom, if they show up then we will be sure... Just wait a few moments.

EDIT: do you have problems with action bar in any other program?

EDIT: Download link: http://d-h.st/4T9
[Android Apps and Games] amey_gangal:

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Heh, seriously - I don't think it's my fault, but could you check if you also don't have icons in:

1) browser - right of current directory name

2) album view (in music view click album cover and you will be transported to a view with tracks) left of album title

I'll try to create a config similar to yours on emulator, but I don't think I will be able to replicate it... Last thing we can try is getting a logcat from your device. Maybe it will have hints on what's happening. You see - the "Now playing" name is a part of the action bar, so we know the action bar IS displayed, but for some reason it doesn't show icons... Oh wait. Does your device have a hardware menu key? If yes - can you check what happens when you press/tap it when playlist opened / in browser / in album view?
[Android Apps and Games] amey_gangal:
Yes I do have a hw menu key in my device..and nothing happens when I press it in all the three cases

This issue happened to me a few times with the previous version. I can't reproduce it with the new one, but since I didn't see anything related to it in the changelog, I thought I'd still report it.

Playing one particular song will make the time hang around the 24th second. Reentering XenoAmp would show that the current song time is 00:00. Logcat here.

Also, the 'paused' shadow is always there, even when unpaused. I can post a screenshot if needed.

I'm sorry, what issue with non existing icons? I was talking about XenoAmp freezing its time output at the ~24th second, then displaying 00:00 after reentering it (even tho the song is playing perfectly fine). I'll send you the song by PM ASAP.
