Hey guys!

I wanted to try the latest beta with Spotify: so, i joined the G+ community, opted in for the beta, and then i downloaded the latest version from the market... however, if i go in Files > Music Services > Spotify and i try to log on, it always says that the password is not correct (but it is, i double checked it on my pc and i'm able to log in); Log in with Facebook is also not working for me, it just crashes and return me back to the previous menù :S

Is it a known bug or it is just me? If needed i can also grab some logs...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I would need a logcat for that, but since the login page is provided by spotify and I've tested it many times already, you might be out of luck. Anyway - Spotify is part of newest non-beta, so don't bother with beta anymore.

To test if Spotify authorizes you, go to this page:

https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/get-current-users-profile/

and look for green "Try it" button, then "get oauth token". If you're able to authorize it from there, it shoud work with Xeno. Please tell me if it worked!
[Android Apps and Games] gemj95:
That's really strange... if i follow those steps i'm getting this error

I'll upload a logcat this evening when i come home, but at this point i don't really think the problem is Xenoamp related :S

EDIT: Here it is! Hope it helps :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
All I can see in your logcat about Spotify is that it doesn't connect beceuse... it times out!
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I did as you suggested and now it works! Not at first, but I then wiped my data for XenoAmp before uninstalling with TB and restarted my phone. When i reinstalled it was all working again. I have noticed in the last few builds that the currently playing track is no longer highlighted in the playlist. Also, when I go through my music (in the Music view and file system) the tracks in the current playlist also are not highlighted. Is that on purpose, or is something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Something must be wrong. I'll check that. Note that track existing in currently showed (not played) playlist should be highlighted.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Actually the tracks are highlighted but it's very subtle. It used to be that the text was green. Now I notice that the background is slightly different. It's barely noticeable but there is a difference. However I preferred the more obvious text coloring as it's much easier to see.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, I'll fix that.
[Android Apps and Games] Nour Sherif:
Correct me if I'm wrong, to add a soundcloud account I tap on the ( + ) icon and select 'soundcloud' then an authentication page will be opened, right?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
No, you just go to "Services" with Xeno browser. But I might add SoundCloud there, as it seems confusing for lots of people.
[Android Apps and Games] cauch_y:
Hi ssuukk is it possible to implement search Google with image? Sometimes covers finder can find cover with really low res but maybe there is some decent copy but it lacks good keywords?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Maybe there is, but you see - I would have to pay google to use this service, which is a bit of an overkill... They made sure you can get only low-res images for free search...
[Android Apps and Games] cauch_y:
What a bunch of ************** ! This explains why I can't find any decent cover with custom search. Aaargh! What about some other search engines?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
If you're able to find any than I am able to code it. :D
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
New phone, new problems!

The widgets do not show the album art on my Motorola moto g 3rd generation (like in the screenshot attached). Any chance to fix it?

Thanks ssuukk!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
This is how it looks or how it is supposed to look?

This is the lock screen widget or standard home widget?

What Android version?

I thought I found the way to enter!
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
:)

This is how it looks. Instead of the cover art I see the homescreen.

Standard widget. Marshmallow.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Should be fixed now.
[Android Apps and Games] iRYO400:
Awesome UI

Awesome UI than Android's standart. Wanna make the same :p, but wouldn't
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Yes, it is! Thanks. :)

Now, I would like to point you out two more substantial things.

The first one is a minor problem. When opened, Xeno goes fullscreen. The fact is that Motorola has no physical buttons, but just virtual ones. To make them appear, I have to touch on top and the status bar and buttons show. As you can see from the screenshot, it is not very elegant and handy. Applications usually force status bar and buttons to show. I remember that once there was an option to see the status bar in Xeno, but I can't find it anymore.

The second is a problem with the equalizer. I am a fan of Viper4Android, but I don't want to root the phone from day 1. I am considering some non-root alternatives like Noozxoide or similar apps. However in Marshmallow the equalizer setting is no more global (and located in Settings>Audio etc.), but must be set in Google Play Music. Some other players can recognize it as "system equalizer" and the user can choose between the equalizer of the app and the system equalizer. Is it possible to do that? Moreover, the internal equalizer of Xenoamp does not work, at least on my phone.

Thanks again for your effort.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well the fact is physical buttons is a no-no, they should not exists on any phone... at least according to Google. The status bar thingy was done on purpose, but if you don't like it I might add back the option to show upper and lower mess. Must check what will be the consequences first, though.

There were never global equalizer settings in Android, as far as I know. Unless you mean custom ROMs. What they did was assigning an equalizer (which you might call "system equalizer") to stream 0, which in Google Android docs has the adnotation: ASSIGNING TO GLOBAL STREAM 0 IS DEPRECATED, DONT DO IT. XenoAmp does it, anyway. So if it doesn't work on your phone maybe they finally really did deprecate it? I guess they didn't, as it works on my Marshmallow Samsung...

So - what happens exactly on your device? There's no eq in Xeno, or there is, but it just doesn't work, audio doesn't change when you play with it?
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Sorry for the late reply!

Do as you wish. If no one has a problem with that, don't waste your time on a personal issue. It was strange to me, probably because I've always had phones with physical buttons...

Sorry, I gave you a bad description. I always used custom ROMs and Viper4Android, so it seemed to me that there was a global equalizer. The fact is that on my device Xeno eq exists but doesn't work: as you say, audio doesn't change when I change the settings. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Your wish is granted In next release. Just change in prefs.

I would need a logcat for that!
[Android Apps and Games] Fladder72:
Is is possible to rework the touch behaviour? Because the feature to bring up the current playlist "collides" with the hidden Nav Bar. Everytime I wants to bring up the Nav Bar, the Playlist comes up.

On the other side it is not possible for me to chose "select" for new music sources, it is overlayed by the Nav Bar...

Next, are the any limitations for Spotify Playlists? There are only shown some, but not all... Btw, why is spotify be added to the sources automaticly and can`t be deleted?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You can either disable immersive mode (hidden nav bar) or tap three playlist dots instead of pulling them.

No limitations, I just forgot to implement paging, so at the moment there are probably only 20 lists shown. It's fixed now and you will get the fix in next release.

Deleting spotify source is also fixed in next release, AFAIR.
[Android Apps and Games] cauch_y:
I think I have gone through all xeno options and I couldn't find immersive mode switch. Can you enlighten me where can I find it?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It's "I like it ugly" or "Lubie brzydkie rzeczy", isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] cauch_y:
I don't like ugly things ;) (" He treats objects like women" ;D)

Description says something about notifications when I'm looking for permanent view of buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Ah, indeed. They are connected, though.
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Hi ssuukk, I wrote you a month ago about a problem concerning the equalizer. On my device (Motorola moto g 3rd gen - Marshmallow) Xeno eq doesn't work: audio doesn't change when I change the settings. You ask me a logcat and I owe you one. The problem is that I always used Catlog, but it only works on rooted devices. How can I give you one?

Another small thing. How do I start a playlist with a single track? I mean, I used to tap on a track, then the whole album (starting from that song) started playing, then long tap on the track, I move it to the end of the playlist, and I could add other single tracks to the playlist. Now, the long tap on a track of a playlist doesn't allow anymore to change its position inside the playlist. I think it was useful. Anyway, is it possible to start a playlist with a single track in a easier way? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
See here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378491

Capture it during start of Xeno and then try changing something in EQ. I'll check if anyone had problem with euqalizer on your device.

To drag tracks around grab them by icon! To add any track to current playlist - tap it anywhere BUT the icon. Taping icon starts playback.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Swiping WPS doesn't work any more

Hi ssuukk,

I can't move back and forth between tracks like I'm supposed to. At first I thought it was just the swiping on the screen that wasn't working, but if I hit the "<<" on the notification or the lock screen, nothing happens there either. Sometimes if I move to the next track by either swiping left or using the ">>" button on the notification or lock screen (which works most of the time), if I then try to go back it will work about 1/3 of the time. I don't know if it's my phone, or Marshmallow, or just something broken in Xeno but this is frustrating. I recently got a new phone (Motorola Moto X Pure) which has Android Marshmallow (my last phone had Lollipop) so this could be part of the issue. I don't know if a logcat would help - it's not like it's doing something wrong. It's not doing something it's supposed to do.

The only way I can move between tracks consistently is to open the playlist and select a track directly.
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
First of all, thanks for the link ssuukk. Always good to learn something new. I hope the logcat is of some help. I see some juicy warnings you'll like to disentangle :)

As for the other issues: I knew the "grab-by-the-icon thing" and now that I'm putting some attention it's working fine. Probably I was grabbing it wrong in some way.

And yes, you're right, I can start a playlist with a single song. The fact that it doesn't start playing as I tap it made me think that nothing happened. I have to go to the playlist and press play.

P.S.: I have Marshmallow, but I haven't experienced yet the problem pointed out by BillyD325

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Sorry, my bug introduced due to some optimizations. Fixed in coming release (already pushed to gplay)
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Thanks ssuukk! Yet another reason I love this app. You're awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Regarding not working EQ. Have you tried uninstalling this?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devdnua.equalizer.free
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
I installed that because xeno eq wasn't working. I uninistalled it now and still the eq isn't working.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
And does this equalizer work?
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Yes, it works with players that support external equalizers.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Interesting, that means there's no reason it shouldn't work with Xeno! When XenoAmp eq is zeroed it is physically turned off, so your external equalizer should work. Can you check that?
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
It doesn't work. It was my problem in the first place.

I won't name names, but players that have an external eq option support the eq app, some others, that don't have the option, do not.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
There's no magic in "external eq". All they do is attach to deprecated stream 0 which is global audio output, which knowing Google's paranoia will be some day disabled. XenoAmp also uses stream 0, that's why it won't work with any other app that tries to access it. It should however behave when other app is trying to use stream 0. I'll check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] eventcom:
I'm currently running V1.33 Sativa on Android 4.4.2 as that's the only one (of my backups) which doesn't FC on start. Looks like I'm missing some versions in between - however V1.70 - 1.74 FC on start and I have no idea why. Any ideas/suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Sorry, yes. That's Kotlin bug. Kotlin is the language Xeno is written in. The bug is filed and I hope they will solve it in some predictable future... Could you post the version somewherE?
[Android Apps and Games] eventcom:
Um? The XenoAmp version? I've tried 1.70, 1.73 and 1.74 with no success. I'll doublecheck if I have some newer versions than 1.33 archived somewhere (I usually do a backup before any update but I possibly didn't do more updates in between - not sure).
[Android Apps and Games] Robbie_G:
I'm having difficulty getting XenoAmp to connect to my subsonic server. Any advice on the settings I need to use?
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Hi ssuukk

Since this morning xeno isn't working. It immediately crashes after start. I attach a logcat.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yes, can you contact me via email?

Fixed!
[Android Apps and Games] rubaboo:
I have a folder for music and a folder for audiobooks next to it. On first start, XA shows everything. So 2 questions: (1) How to ignore everything except what I explicitly add to music sources? (2) How to refresh/rescan the library so the stuff that's already there is gone after I set #1. (3) It doesn't see an m4a file, why?
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Hi ssuukk, I have an issue with my bluetooth devices (a speaker and a pair of headphones) using xenoamp. The devices have three buttons: + (Vol Up/Next track), - (Vol down/Previous track) and the central one (Play/Pause). The Play/Pause function doesn't work. The same function works with other players, so I guess that this problem may be solved in xeno.

Thanks a lot as usual.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Crashing issues

Hi ssuukk,

I've sent a couple of crash reports from my phone after the app crashed, but want to let you know specifically what I'm seeing. I've installed the most recent version from the Play Store (the one with the "calibrator crash" fix.)

1. Opening the calibrator (Sound?) still causes the app to crash.

2. Today I can't open Files or Music - both cause it to crash.

I'm also having issues related to Bluetooth. If I'm in my car listening to Xeno via bluetooth (my most common time to use it) and the bluetooth connection goes away (I turn off the car, etc.) when I reactivate the connection (return to the car after going into a store for example) XenoAmp doesn't resume play. It just stays stuck in "Paused" mode. I have to close and reopen it to resume play. This is annoying more than anything, but I would like to see this fixed. This has been the case for several builds now. I've just been to busy to write about it.

Thanks!

Hi ssuukk,

I decided to post this separately. I have never been able to get the Spotify integration to work consistently. I have added the account and can see my Spotify tracks in Music view and add them to playlists. However, more often than not, when the playlist reaches a Spotify track it just stops playing. I can usually skip it and it will continue with the next track (assuming it is local and not Spotify) but I don't really see much point to having Spotify tracks in my playlist if they won't play. They do occasionally play, but even when they do often it will pause after and I have to manually skip or sometimes restart the app to proceed. I have tried purging and refreshing the account, deleting it and re-adding it, etc. but nothing seems to help.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Xeno will normally add highest common folder containing media when there's no media source. So all you have to do is remove this folder and add just your music folder to xeno. Purge should help with (2). I'll check what's wrong with m4a, maybe I've just forgot the extension. EDIT - checked! m4a is definitely an extension supported by Xeno. Now I have to check it on actual device!

I would have to get some device with bluetooth buttons, but I'd assume it should work exactly like keyboard... I have to check that. EDIT: Do you think you could give me a logcat of button actions?

I've seen such crash due to buggy animations in ROM. Can you enter prefs, disable animations and check if that solves the crash?

I'll look into the bluetooth issues.

Did you try with latest version? Spotify SDK library (by Spotify developers...) is... a piece of crap. It crashes badly. I've tried a lot of acrobatics to make it work with different levels of success... Last release actually works pretty well for me! EDIT: of course it works only for PAID Spotify.
[Android Apps and Games] rubaboo:
And where is purge?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I'll try it again on the current release - haven't had time yet. However, I'll be letting my Spotify subscription expire this month anyway, so it won't be an issue. I may try it with SoundCloud.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Whoa! Just experienced a 2cm hail storm! It was AMAZING! I feel a bit sorry for the cars, though.

In credentials preferences, click a source and tap purge. Tell me if it doesn't work, it has undergone a lot of changes and might not do the thing it was designed to :D

OK, SoundCloud also works for me without problems...
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I think the first part of my reply got lost - it was inside the quote. Anyway, I did disable animations and I am no longer seeing the crashes. However, this is new. I have had this phone since May and am running stock Motorola Moto X Pure firmware (phone is not rooted) and have not had this problem until recently. Has something in XenoAmp changed?
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Here is the logcat. I used buttons Up and Down for the volume (they work), then the Play/Pause button several times.

Perhaps the problem is here (just a wild guess, I don't know anything about codes):

[ 09-05 18:49:44.400 23823:23823 D/<XenoAmp> ]

[main] Tutorial event:PAUSED

[ 09-05 18:49:44.400 24212:24294 V/Avrcp ]

updatePlayPauseState, old=2, state=2

[ 09-05 18:49:44.400 24212:24294 V/Avrcp ]

position=0]

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Veeery interesting. So you're saying volume works? It's strange, as there's no media button registered by this log. BUT that gives me an idea what might be happening! If you're lucky, new debug mesage will be available in pending release, so another logcat will be required.
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Yes, volume works (short press of the buttons) and even skipping tracks (long press).

So I wait next release and then I'll give you a new logcat.

Thanks!

Even clicking the drop down menu on the upper left does not show Default equaliser setting

Running stock Android 7.0 on Nexus 6P
[Android Apps and Games] cauch_y:
Got the same issue with equaliser on stock LG G2 5.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Does it happen with all profiles or just default?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Can you send me this m4a file? I've tried it today and can see my m4as.
[Android Apps and Games] cauch_y:
I can't edit default or add any new profile. I have no additional profile to check if I can delete it
[Android Apps and Games] Nour Sherif:
I only had Default profile
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
What happens if you add another profile?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I'm experiencing the same thing. I opened the Sound menu and got the blank screen except for the buttons at the top. There is no "default" or any other profile. I went ahead and tried to create one anyway, using the headphone setting since, as usual, XenoAmp can't find any information for my phone for the regular audio setting. Anyway, I went through the whole set of sounds, etc. and got to the end where it told me to name my profile. I did. But when I got back to the main screen it wasn't there. The dropdown menu doesn't do anything. It's simply not working.

I think I have a clue. While typing this I decided to see if there was a file in my xenoamp folder for the profile and XenoAmp just wasn't picking it up. Well, there is no xenoamp folder. I tried saving a playlist and it seems to work ok, but when i try to select the new playlist it's empty. I don't know where XenoAmp has been storing my Now Playing playlist since I have rebooted the phone since I last installed, but there is no folder named xenoamp on my phone anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Might be a hint, but shouldn't happen anyway. If you have some time, I might try some debugging on you, by giving you exclusively baked release to test.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, I was able to replicate the error with uninstall/reinstall. A fix is coming.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Awesome! I just saw the update in the Play Store. I am uninstalling and will install the new version fresh.

Hey [MENTION=767982]ssuukk[/MENTION]

Recently I had a weird bug again. Music was playing just fine. So I stopped playing music unplugged the cable and left the phone alone(deepsleep). Afterwards I picked it up again, did some messaging.

Then I wanted to play music again with xeno but I couldn’t get it to start playing music again. I had to FC xeno to make music properly playing again.

Another thing I noticed. Sometimes xeno does not want to play some of my flac files...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Could you catch another logcat?

Yep. That must have something to do with newest Android aggresive battery saving. I've experienced it after having phone idle for a very long time, not lately though. I wonder if it happens only when there's Xeno GUI visible.

Could you send me exaples of such flacs?
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Sorry, I've been busy lately. Here's the logcat. Thanks for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Was this caught while pressing non-working buttons on bluetooth receiver?
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Yes, I pressed the vol + button (it works), then five times the play/pause button, the only one that doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I've just tried a few Bluetooth speakers from local shop and play/pause prev/next do work with Xeno... I think I've exhausted my ways to debug it here...
[Android Apps and Games] snaporaz:
Are you sure you didn't do anything? After installing the latest release the button works! Thanks anyway!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Nothing that I am AWARE of! :D

Can you increase your Dropbox API limit, as I am trying to sync up to my DropBox and it is denying access
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Heh, I didn't know there was a limit. But as far as I know APIs that would probably COST ME. I will check that, though.

Edit: check this out: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/210271906-Dropbox-API-rate-limits

So that might mean XenoAmp is trying to access dropbox too often, I will check that, too. Could you explain exactly what were you doing when this limit manifested itself?
