Which one is wrong then? The tall black gentelman in white suit is embedded in mp3 file, thus it is the right one, and this is the cover I have on my XenoAmp.

If the right one is the lady, then sorry - can't do. Embedded covers have the priority, it was your idea anyway! :D

EDIT, ok, now I see file names. I have the right one! What we could do to obtain log is removing the bad icon from xeno icon cache dir and then grab a logcat in music view.

Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.170 (08032013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

How do I figure out the specific icon to remove from the cache?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Unfortunately only visually. Browse the directory with picture viewer or any browser that shows thumbnails and remove the bad one.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Easy enough. What triggers it looking for the cover again if it's missing?

I may have to wait a while - I deleted the directory in order to install the market version and get the correct image pulled, then deleted it again before installing .170. It's been about 4 hours and so far, it has only pulled in about 40 covers (out of 400 albums.) Go figure - it pulled in the correct cover for Mabele this time, but I do see a few that have the wrong pic.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Don't bother today, I see obtainer has some strange behaviour, I'll be fixing that tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Confirm asking for media root working; edit tags showing tags correctly; dynamic playlist getting updated. DJ playlist now working - don't think I saw the 'wait, there's more message in .169, but I've slept since then so I could be wrong.

EDIT: Should replaygain be working? Looking at logcat, when I change tracks I see a line that says, "Set vol(followed by a number), gain=0.0. I see the gain vailues in the db.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Hope you figure it out. I did go in and browse the cover directory. Interestingly, I found the correct cover in the directory for some albums that were getting incorrect cover assigned.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaaaawwwwright! I've got that little bug bastard! I guess corrected obtainer on wifi or LTE will be really fast now!

Still to do:

- Don't group broken

- index still not working for AGiLiT
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Girls, here are my flowers for you:

RELEASE 0.171

Fix: cover obtainer going crazy sometimes, became pretty fast, too.

Fix: cover chooser

Fix: The Unbearable Duality of Volume (also - works when no GUI visible)

Note: two preferences removed: sweet 16 and system volume changing by xeno. Volume is pretty smart now, ramping system stream volume as necessary, in a way transparent to user. Althoug internally there are still two volumes, you won't know and ever notice this duality. Volume display will be consistent with absolute volume, so full display=full possible system volume, not full xeno amp volume.

As a bonus - xenoAmp high precission volume scale works even when screen is turned off and no xenoAmp gui is visible, as I was able to capture keypresses from service, which three threads on StackExchange claim is impossible. :D Although you may notice volume bumps when changing volume this way...

Still to do:

- Replace dynamic playlist with engine playlist

- Don't group broken

- select all in music row

- double click in music row

- disable angle listener in lockscreen preventing unlocking

- index still not working for AGiLiT - ANOTHER LOGCAT PLEASE!

Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.171 (08032013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

How do I sync it up to my Google music acct?
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
YESSS!!! Successfully finds cover art! I did the full delete Xenoamp directory and uninstall before installing .171. As soon as database update was complete, cover art started appearing in music view. Only took a short time to populate the whole list.

Index is working! I really don't want to have to go back and see what was happening in earlier versions, where i swear it didn't move the list for me, but now, a scroll motion on the right edge of music view does move the list. There's no visual queue to how far I am moving; it just jumps there when I stop. Some sort of indication that would be helpful?

Max volume in XenoAmp seems to correspond to max media volume in system. When I change the volume outside of XenoAmp (either up or down) after a couple of seconds, it jumps back to where it was. Logcat to follow (need to change devices). Started XenoAmp, adjusted volume with touch up and down from WPS. Adjusted volume with buttons while in WPS. Went to home screen, adjusted volume up, it goes back down after a bit. (Didi this twice.) Did the same thing adjusting volume down.

Still don't see indication of replaygain in effect?

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I'll have to look into replaygain, maybe it's lost somewhere in the chain...

As for volume - when XenoAmp has no gui, or phone screen is off, volume will behave like this, until a real solution to capturing buttons is found (it seems there is one, but Voodoo LOUDER author is not eager to share it). Currently it's almost a hack. Since for each system volume level there's 4 fine-grain levels, you can observe that Android system volume will go (AND STAY) up or down one notch after not more than 4 volume rocker presses (and between the change spot it will go back). If it doesn't happen that way on your system, that means my hack behaves differently there.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
It looks like it's device (or Android version) dependent. No matter the number of clicks; less than 4, exactly four, more than four - the volume reverts back. Another weirdness: When connected to my Bluetooth speaker and outside of XenoAmp gui, pressing the volume down button reduces the volume settings on the speaker. Pressing volume up doesn't bring it up (the media volume popup window always shows volume at max.)

Tried this with another app (Pandora) and volume button works as expected - volume settings on speaker go up and down. Within XenoAmp gui, volume button or touch volume controls don't affect speaker volume settings; they just change the playing volume level. Hope that all makes sense.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Makes perfect sense, as this is a hack. I might end up disabling fine grain steps on screen off and stick to changing it by 4 on each keypress.

The thing with bluetooth - does it happen with xenoAmp gui visible? As the hack is used only when there's no xeno window in the foreground.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
No; as I said, when I'm in the gui, the volume buttons or touch control buttons don't change speaker volume settings; they just change playing volume level.

Could you make it so when you remove a label for example album, the artist label moves down to take its place. Looks kinda rubbish with a big gap between artist and song title but I don't want album to show as I find it too cluttered.

All m3u or m3u8 playlists get imported during media scan phase if they lie inside scanned path and not inside nomedia marked dir. Do they?

You should see them in the drawer like playlist widget that you pull from below, either by sweeping header left or right or taping for list of playlists.

You can drag your old playlists anywhere, only if they have absolute entries inside, if they are relative playlists they just won't work outside their locations.

There is a playlist with everything if you go with internal file browser to xeno root, then meta playlists.

But it might be just easier to say:

"Shuffle everything!"

Getting more tracks into the library - I tried something different and it worked; at least the first time. Not sure if the two are related, but the difference was this:

My music library is organized in a folder structure like this (with a bunch of root directories in front of it) .../music/albumartist/album. Formerly, when setting the media folder at the time of install, I would navigate into /music, so all the albumartist folders were visible. Now I just navigate to the /music directory and stop. When I do a refresh database now, it syncs perfectly; new tracks are added and deleted tracks are removed.

clearly? Shouldn't be that hard!

But anyway - XenoAmp is probably not for them! It was never thought of as a player that plays your everything tossed to a single bag! :D It is for music collectors and anal retentive audiophiles!

Don't worry though, I'll be creating playlistless XenoAmp later, that won't have all bells and whistles just the strange feature of playing all... No database scanning, no playlist picking and so on.

Besides - they need to go to meta playlists only once. But could you just explain why would anyone want to have a playlist with all their tracks?

I installed 0.176 today and have to say it is working much better. My album art loaded quickly and correctly (as far as I have see without a close inspection) and I learned that I can place my playlists in my Music folder and they get added instead of me having to copy them into the xenoamp folder and rescan.

Question and this may or may not be a bug: Say I have a playlist selected and use the menu button on the WPS screen (triangle at lower right) to open the menu and I select "Shuffle." What exactly is supposed to get shuffled? I am thinking it is the current playlist, but nothing happens to it when I select that option.

Also, on same menu if I select "Voice Command" and say "shuffle," which is supposed to shuffle the current playlist, I get a FC every time (and of course the playlist doesn't shuffle.) I will attach a logcat later from home. Just wanted to mention that in case anyone else is getting the same issue. Also, I know the voice commands are listed in the post where that functionality was implemented, but it would help if they were documented in the OP and in the tutorial at some point.

So; I was thinking about this. Wouldn't the logic to sync your music database with your music library in storage be about the same as whatever logic you are using to sync with google music? That seems to work pretty well. If so, is that what the refresh database is doing? If yes again, then maybe change the description to 'synchronize with Media Folder'. If not, then maybe create an option to synchronize with the media folder (title could be 'With One Breath... ;) ). I think it would be a great feature to call out.

When Xeno has the mechanics down pat then I'll pepper you with my UI and aesthetic critiques. I realize I jumped the gun with some of them early on so I'm sitting tight with hopes it'll be soon.
