RELEASE 0.69

Note due to huge amount of changes of vital structures this release may be unstable, but take it for a ride, it has some new features

- Huuuge change to XenoPath/XenoTrack/XenoPlaylist

- Plays 8Tracks!

- You can add directory objects (playlists, local directories, samba directories, DJs, meta dirs) to playlist and xeno will play it all.

- Added "Meta" directory to xeno root, it has "All tracks" and "All playlists"

- Similar DJ can now be bookmarked per artist, return tracks in random order

- Embedded cover art extraction moved to cover obtainer, initial scan should be faster

- Holoization

- A few more white skin corrections

Testing info:

- To add whole direcotry AS AN ENTRY to playlist use context menu "Toggle into playlist" from filebrowser ("select all" from header will also select directories now). So assume you add DJ "100 random tracks" entry between "Under Pressure" and "Radio Gaga". Xeno will play:

Under Pressure

<random track 1>

<random track 2>

<random track 3>

...

<random track 100>

Radio Gaga

Same will happen with any addable entry such as a playlist, "Similar DJ", "All tracks" and "All playlists" (the last one will play all playlists in sequence...)

- 8Tracks have a limit of how many times per hour you can skip (next) a track, xenoAmp is obeying this limit (I think...)

- If you add 8Tracks entry to a playlist you may notice long start times and long switching between playlists. This happens because right now 8Tracks entry metadata is initialized straight from network every time.

Take it for a ride, I am sure the amount of bugs is still huge.

Shoutcast dir browsing broken in this release, but searching and top100 work.

Your bookmarked XENO: locations will not work (changed virtual FS tree).

P.S. As a payback - do a 69 with you loved one. For 69 minutes.

Looking forward to test-driving it :)

Will you be posting the updated file to post #1? I've just checked there & on the Store, still both at 0.68
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
In a few minutes, up to hour.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, guys. One thing fixed breaks 10 others. But try it now. Be prepared to face bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] xcal321:
I saw a few when I hooked it up to ddms. I've managed to isolate one when waking up with power button and xeno lock screen enabled. The exception doesn't occur in xeno, but it looks like it is caused by it. Sent to your email.

I'll isolate the others when the battery is recharged again.
[Android Apps and Games] paul c:
A couple of things - when Xenoamp 0.69 starts up, the album art of the song which will be played on touching the screen) does not show on my Desire HD running a stable custom ICS ROM.

Swiping to the next song then back again restores the album art. The next song's album art shows immediately, then when returning to the first song, the album art for the first song is now visible.

Also, I see the album art is now shown in the playlists (nice touch!). However the first song does not have album art, until the list is swiped down then back up. If 2 full albums are added to a playlist, it happens for the first song of both albums - but the "refresh" by scrolling the list restores them both.

@suukk : xenoamp even detects .jpg files when I make playlist from a specific folder. Any fix?

[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
Here a short feedback on 0.69.

I am running AOKP JB on SGH-I777.

I was able to stream 8 tracks. Thanks for that feature! :)

But xenoamp force closed while I had kept 8 tracks paused. Not sure if it was 8 tracks related. I will update when I am able to repeat that FC.

About the album art. I was playing a song that had its album art and then I started 8 tracks. Then the album art should have switched to blank. But instead the previous art stayed frozen. Can the album art be fetched from 8 tracks? Or when 8 tracks is started, you can simply used a blank album art.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Fixed in 0.70

XenoAmp looks for follwing pngs and jpegs @ file directory and file parent directory: cover, folder, album, thumb, albumartsmall. I disabled parent directory lookup in 0.70, but it won't help you unless you delete all your covers.

8Tracks have a playlist icon, which fits the mood of the playlist. If you think you'd rather see album cover, I can make it a preference.

great work and amazing fast. for me the 0.72 works good so far, no fc till now.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Good to hear that! Have fun!
[Android Apps and Games] Px80:
how is it about the battery usage, how is it compared to stock apollo?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I'd assume that when using the UI, xeno uses much more power than apollo, because of lots of movement, bitmap decoding, bitmap caching and running lots of threads. When playing in background, though, it shouldn't use more than any other player...

0.73

Hello,

-I also report FC when no internet connection avaliable.

-When i pause the track and quit xenoamp and start it again the music starts playing automaticly. Might be good to have a option not to start music when xenoamp starts.

-I cannot move within a track the ring is all light blue.

And another suggestion: Is it posiible to have somevhere in settings information about current version? Its because it is in development and sometimes comes two new versions a day and it is annoying always go to my apps and find out what version i have installed.

keep the good work ssuukk
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
1) Autoplay will be a preference in next release.

2) If track is a stream (radio, 8Tracks) or its length has been read as "0" progress bar won't work. Does it happen with all your tracks? Send me the one that doesn't work.

3) Of course, I'll add version info.
[Android Apps and Games] ksmobile:
gonna try this one . seems cool

RELEASE 0.75

- Replaced lame MusicBrainz library with my own (going open source soon)

- A preference to allow XenoAmp change system stream volume when xeno volume at full

- A preference to enable music auto start

- Fixed long-standing bug of covers not appearing until scrolled off-screen (was: flow view doesn't refresh until scrolled out of view)

- Added version info in misc prefs
[Android Apps and Games] paul c:
Nice! Just done a quick test of 0.75 and I can confirm that the album art appears on startup, the first song(s) of a playlist, and scrolls album covers.

On that last point, is it my imagination but swiping down by artist and across by artist-album, the transitions are less smooth? On my Desire HD with ICS, there is a momentary pause between images.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You mean in sheet view? A short jerk when new row is going to be displayed? I'll be correcting that later. Today I began sheet view rework, if it works as I expect, it will be much faster and smoother.
[Android Apps and Games] DallasCZ:
0.75

as far i tested it fits my needs. I almost search music by folders and add them to my playlist.

From 0.75 i can again move within a track. i dunno where was the problem in 0.72 and 0.73.I play only mp3 files stored im my sdcard and this are almost album, so no big files like dj sets.

Thanx a lot for the version number and the option to "play the music when xenoamp starts".

Another sugestion: is possible to play files that i add to my playlist randomly? Just a question, because i always choose 1-5 albums to my playlist and then i would like to hear this playlist in random order.

I will wait to 0.80 and then i make new CZ translation. (no time yet, lot of work).:good:
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Of course you can play them randomly. Just choose "Sort->random" from playlist context menu. But you do know, that there's a DJ that creates 100 random songs for you? You can create a playlist and add this DJ to it, this way you will get new random 100 songs every time XenoAmp starts without doing anything! Or you can do the same with "Random 10 albums" DJ, this one isn't pre-randomised though - songs are in album order. Tell me if I should it explain in more detail!

Release 0.76 - minor bugfixes. Tomorrow's release will probably bring audio profiles and playlist markers (for track/playlist looping and stopping at mark).
[Android Apps and Games] paul c:
Just to clarify, I mean when accessing the music list (hold finger down, swipe to music) which I have organised by artist, artist-album - the default, artists are vertical and their albums are horizontal. I guess it's all tied up with what you're working on.

Actually I spoke too soon on the album art question: if I go to the playlists, just the second and the third songs of each playlist don't have the album art. Swiping left or right to different playlists shows the same issue, but a playlist that has already been accessed does not have that issue.
[Android Apps and Games] mcpdigital:
This the one music player for Android (FANTASTIC)

Xenoamp rocks.

It is working very well, great interface and lots and lots of functions. Love the tag editing with suggestions, it helps a lot when trying to match Artist names that are written differently. Just this would be a major reason to use it, the sound quality is impressive too. My Galaxy S2 sound suxs big time and nothing could help it stop distorting even at lower volumes. Any enhancement usually make it worst than it already is, but in the case of Xenoamp I can use the bass boost an not only feel the difference but use it without artifacts or distortions. Maybe because of the small steps offered in the scale, like the volume one. Tried everything before: Beats, Equalizer, DSP Manager, Nooz stuff and so on, all of them have the same result, distortion and in most cases turning them off make the bass stronger as the volume and clarity. This does not happen with Xenoamp, it is the first one that helps my Galaxy S2, attention to this if your are looking for better audio quality.

The cover art search is very good too, it can find covers that no other player found, really and I'm talking of Poweramp, Zplayer, Apollo, Cover art grabbers and so on.

Other interesting and must have option is the file manager access, most players don't have this.

Well I'm writing this just to exalt some of the great features of this player and to congratulate you for the great initiative of a different player with innovation and lots of features.

From now on I will use this player only, cannot think about the others I bought and was simply adapting myself to their serious limitations.

Great great job. Count with me for tests and future purchase.

[Android Apps and Games] DallasCZ:
Thanx for the explanation i read here a lot about hte DJ, but was lazy to try..nice function. Today I have along ride to one of our customers so i will make a stretch test to xenoamp :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well, there are other glitches too, i.e. when you look at 8Tracks search results, but I hope these are fixable.

The sound will be better with rockbox codecs. But meanwhile - have you tried headphone equalizer? It would make the sound even better, if you have proper headphones!

Oh, my! I guess people use less than 50% of the features... Maybe it's time to create a website.
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
Can you remove double tap on song to add album to playlist and just have double click album cover to add. Keep by mistake double tapping songs when adding loads of songs next to each other
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I'll make it a preference.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
The XenoAmp lock screen keeps coming up, even though I have plain Android selected. It comes up after getting through my Android lock screen. I think behavior previously was if selected, it would appear before Android lock screen (which I can't turn off - it's a group policy setting enforced by my company when corporate email is set up).

I'm on .76, but it was happening on .75 also.

EDIT - Acutally, seems to come up at random - sometimes before Android lock screen, sometimes after, sometimes just leaving the app for the home screen, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Puniacz:
First of all I would like to say that I think XenoAmp is really great and it has potential to become a major success once it's finished. I used it since very first builds and now I registered here so I could point out some problems that I find a bit irritating. Here are my thoughts/suggestions:

Maybe I'm weird but for me randomizing playlist and then playing it is something quite different than playing it randomly. I dislike seeing in what order my songs will be played after randomizing cause I often start to wonder whether this new order suits me or should I change it. Besides I always feel some little bit of excitement not knowing what the next song would be. So for me it would be great if you could make it as preference.

Secondly, I'm missing any kind of currently playing song indicator on playlist screen that would clearly point which song from my playlist I'm listening to.

Additionally I would love to change the songs by long-pressing the volume rocker so I don't have to take my phone out of my pocket and turn the screen on.

There also seems to be some kind of bug in newer releases about star ratings but I need to investigate it a bit more.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaaah, OK. Strange thing. I thought you have 2.x Android. And these... DON'T have android lockscreens! I assumed that I should enable Xeno lockscreen in such case. I am correcting it right now.

Ha! So using "Random 100" DJ is prefect for you! Try it:

1) create new playlist and make it active

2) go to Xeno Root

3) go to DJs

4) long touch "100 random tracks" and select "toggle into playlist" from context menu.

5) was it added? Touch it... 100 random tracks begin playing. Each time XenoAmp starts these will be other 100 random teacks!

6) because "100 random tracks" is a playlist entry, you can put "20 Century Fox" fanfare before it and this way your playlist will start with Fox fanfare, and the play 100 random tracks!

Currently playing track is first on top! :) (unless it's one of the last tracks and the list won't scroll anymore). But you're right - I'll add some color later.

This is out of XenoAmp jurisdiction, I am afraid (background services can't capture keypresses!). If your ROM suports it, XenoAmp will skip exactly as you wrote (it works on my phone!), if your ROM doesn't or you didn't enable it in system settings - I can't help.

Didn't notice that, please tell me more.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
I am on Android 2.3.5 and it has a lockscreen (as has every Android phone I've owned), so I'm not sure what you mean when you say it doesn't have an Android lockscreen. It can set to be opened with a pattern, a PIN or a password.
[Android Apps and Games] Puniacz:
It would be nice if I could select only specific albums/folders cause I have music that I would definitelly not want on my random 100 songs playlist :D

Unfortunatelly I don't think that stock android 4.1 on my SIII supports it so I'll just have to manage without it.

First of all I can't assign stars to a song by touching it's name anymore. Additionally selecting songs by star rating in flow screen doesn't work properly since it doesn't display any stars so I don't know what star filter I chose.

And one more thing I thought about is buggy xeno lockscreen that sometimes requires to go through android default lock screen first so that I can go through xeno lock screen next.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Mental shortcut. Your android is not suposed to have lockscreen aduio controls. That's what I mean by "native lockscreen". On newer Androids there's this display interface that works like lockscreen audio widget.

Heh, selecting for randomization would be an overkill, unless I find a neat way to do this. I'll check rating today, lockscreen is a known bug.
[Android Apps and Games] mats18:
Hi

i tried xenoamp, and i really like it. But i have some problems (Version 0.76, on galaxy s2 with stock rom ics 4.0.4):

- ratings do not work at all, i can't rate songs, and existing ratings are not showed.

Where are the ratings stored, are they in the id3 tags? Id would be great, if in future versions syncing with mediamonkey would work.

- in xenoamp-lockscreen, i often can't switch back to already played songs, i just can go back to the start of the actually playing song, or switch forward to the next

- the xenoamp-lockscreen has no consistent behaviour. sometimes after unlocking it goes directly to the player, without the original android lockscreen and without pin

- lyrics do not work, i just get a white screen with artist and title on top of it

keep up the good work, this is gona be my favourite player
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Hello,

1) Ratings are fixed in 0.77. They are (as all tag data) kept in xeno database, unless you request syncing to tags (in database preferences). If I know what mediamonkey is I can probably synchronize with it :)

2) pressing back in 2 (I think) first seconds of the song goes back one track, pressing later - to the beginning of current, but I'll check it.

3) some mp3s instead of not having lyrics tag, have empty lyrics tag, this makes XenoAmp think that there are lyrics and it doesn't search for them online in such case. If you could send me a song with failing lyrics I could investigate.
[Android Apps and Games] Puniacz:
I tought about one more feature I would like to see. When switching songs on lockscreen I have to press the center of the circle and move my finger to next song button each time I want to switch song. Instead I would like to unlock the ring for some specific time (5-10sec) so I could switch songs several times in a row without having to unlock controls after each switched song.
[Android Apps and Games] mats18:
Thanks for the quick answers.

to 1) Mediamonkey is the Windows Desktop Musicplayer i use. Synced ratings is a must-have for me, play count is also interesting. Or any tips for a software for windows (and linux), which syncs these?

3) i'll try some more albums..

Mats
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Does it provide any syncing api?

Please do send me a track that has problem with lyrics, you can do it from xenoAmp, you know?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, that should be here yesterday, but there was just not enough time. So today:

RELEASE 0.77

- Added multiple DSP (audio) profiles. See them in EQ view.

- Fixed rating

- Centralized calibrator outputs

- Some equalizer code cleanup

Note - automatic profile switching for car / dock implemented, but currently there's no way for user to choose which profile should be used for each situation, will be correcting that.
[Android Apps and Games] mats18:
im so sorry....i've forgotten that i temporarly unabled internet access... now it does what it should. :angel:

i don't know much about how syncinc works, nor if there's an api. Just know that it should work between player pro and mediamonkey with the plugin from here mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=59888 while using the device in mass storage mode instead of media player (mtp). i'll have to try 0.77, perhaps it works already and i just didn't find out because the ratings didn't work at all in 0.76 (first time user)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Please do remember that ratings and tag edits are not commited to tags by XenoAmp! You have to request it from preferences, as this is experimental feature! So even if mediamonkey can sync without additional code from my side, you have to commit xenoAmp changes to tags first!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
RELEASE 0.78

- Fixed equalizer display: bands are now at proper places on logarythmic scale

- Experimental feature: track marks. Long touch playlist entry to set mark: "Loop track", "Loop playlist", "Stop here" (these don't get refreshed, you have to scroll list out of view to see the mark!)

Some explanation:

This feature was requested and is a neat one.

When you have your favourite playlist of 1000 tunes and going to sleep, you can mark 20th track as "Stop here" and xenoAmp will stop playing at the mark.

"Loop track" will loop single marked track.

"Loop playlist" will play playlist until marked track and then start from beginning of the playlist

These marks are not preserved, their lifetime equals to xenoAmp lifetime.

Running XenoAmp on HTC Amaze

I just found this player and installed build .76 which had some problems with closing while doing the smart tag update thing. I just downloaded build .78 and plan to try it at work today. Have you found any issues specific to the Amaze? I am running the latest (August 6) Energy ROM.

I know the Amaze has become T-Mobile and HTC's redheaded stepchild since they introduced the One (X, S, whatever your flavor) which in my opinion is an inferior phone mainly because of no expandable storage. Anyway, I plan to keep my Amaze for a long time, I like to be different, and this player along with the Amaze certainly fit into the different category!
