Some new things to play with. Strings attached (for translators)

RELEASE 0.35

- New calibration data: MT11i, WT19i, endeavoru

- Tag editor working (changes go to Xeno databse, not touching your files!), in mass edit mode leave fields blank for no change

- Fixed a bug that prevented downloading covers for manual selection

- Faster cover/artist matching and downloading (so if before Xeno picked you a picture of promiscous ape instead of Simon Green with a baloon - delete your covers and try again)

- New DJ: create a playlist with similar artists' tracks (I must say it's my favourite suggested feature so far!)

- Pref: switch next/prev gesture direction

- Fallback artist tag to composer tag for badly tagged files from pOOTunes
[Android Apps and Games] destinydmm:
Are you going to add the API for Google music?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yes, there will be a test version of google music, when all XenoAmp main features are there, and tha'ts very soon. First I have to check if it is legal, though. That there exists a Google music API doesn't mean I can use it without Google lawyers on my back.
[Android Apps and Games] sUsH667:
did you forget to attach the strings?

greetz,

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Indeed. Will correct that later.

OK: making progress with .35. It's picking composer as artist and album artist. Still not getting cover art correctly.

It took much longer to complete the database scan in this version. Also, as of now, navigation through the music library is very unresponsive; moves in a herky-jerky fashion. Maybe some background processing still going on; e.g. looking for album art?

Question: any reason not to have group by album in the music library?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Means it's not getting cover art completely, or Marilyn Manson gets Beach Boy's cover?

Yes, first run is very thread heavy. I think the process downloading covers runs as long as there are queried searches or XenoService is running. And this thread is doing a lot of db querying, internet acces, disk acces, image rescaling and so on. And even when you think nothings happening, background cover obtainer may be doing a lot, just look at logcat. The only point of improvement I can imagine is the moment when new row is generated and you scroll fast up/down. On my device it's just a blink of an eye, but I imagine it may be much worse on others. When scrolling slowly it's completely unnoticeable. But still possible to improve this new-row jerk.

My default music view is AlbumArtists in rows grouped by album. What's yours?
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
It gets a lot of wrong cover art. My favorite mis-association is a jazz/funk album I have called "A Philadelphia Story' by 'Papa' John DeFranseco. The image it pulls is a movie poster with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn!

I don't know whether it's downloading covers because it can't find the cover in the tags, but all my tracks are tagged with cover art, so if you can get that corrected, this won't be an issue anymore. Also, maybe there should be an option to scan for missing art rather than making it a default.

Scrolling is smoother when there are fewer rows. Because my library is so large and it's picking composer as the artist tag, that view has a really, really lot of rows.

That would be mine if it were finding the right tags. :D Sometimes though, I just want to scroll through my albums to find something to listen to.

EDIT: Never mind - found the grouping by album. Duh!

When I get home from work and can get on my home computer, I'll send you some screen shots to show what AudioTagger is seeing as the tags and what XenoAmp is seeing.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well I can put an off switch. But the idea is that first time user has do do as little as possible.

Scrolling is smoother as soon as you have some rows evaluated/fetched. The music view does a lot of lazy evaluation to preserve memory.

Yes, please. Also send me an mp3 with cover in tag, that doesn't get picked up by Xeno. I suspect your embedded covers may be smaller than 300x300 and thus discarded as low quality, but still it should pick up a right cover from last.fm. But am I right that your files are tagged with "composer" rather than artist? It seems wrong! Just think about The Doors' "Alabama song". The composer isn't The Doors, but Kurt Weill!
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
hi Ssuukk,

i m currently playing with music library - group by genre. because etunes origin i ve got some weird name by genre.. number in fact.

so i edit individual tags and try to correct album genre. let s say Mano Negra... i got the right idtag but each time i correct and tap on "apply" nothing happens.

here is the logcat a got when i tap apply

21:11:34.916 Debug XenoAmp 20385 Updatuje w bazie!King Kong Five

my feelings it s saying updating kingkong five but there s no reaction from apply

(other then that i'vn't got any problem on music lib)

i m running latest 0.35

here is a complete logcat of latest XenoAmp run => http://pastebin.com/V3x6R9PL

thks
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
So you're saying that when updating idividual tags, a change to genre is not applied? When you get back to music view the number genre is still there? (also - do remember that the changes are applied only to xeno database, not to id3 tags!)
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
yep that's it and i would add that "apply" doesn't react (no alighted behaviour) nothing just a choice to press back.

i go back to the tad id and number are still there (as i m using xenaamp to do so i supposed that this is on its own dB, shoul i try to refresh dB??)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Apply button doesn't show anything, it just queues db update request, so it might be that there's already a lot in this queue and it will get executed in some time.

No, refresh db only picks up new files. Maybe it's a small bug with genre tag. Could you see if apply works with any other tag changed?
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
hi Ssuukk, how i can i say..???

I deserve slap in my face, i m an idiot.

all the tag i changed - have been changed! - didn t seen that up the screen tag i could scroll title tracks.

so the field available even genre have been change. i check and has been add to the lib. all the field available in tag

what me confused into this and though that it doesn't do anything was the "apply non reaction"...

so i m really sorry to bothered with this... i m stupid damn!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Will do. Note that my files are .m4a. They started as .mp3, tagged by Mp3tag, then transcoded by iTunes (to get smaller file sizes for my phone and wifey's iPod).
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
No, no, no. That means I deserve a kick in the butt. There should be a visual feedback, At least a toast saying "you've did it!".
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, guys (girls?). Since main features are almost there, please spill your ideas/wishes/complaints.

My priorities for following releases are:

- Musicbrainz updater

- Searching

- SMB streaming and browsing

- Enable presets for equalizer

- Enable sharing

But I can do small things meanwhile just to let my mind rest, so dont' hesitate, share your thoughts!
[Android Apps and Games] BombayBoy:
Can we think of skins ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Have you tried white skin? It's unfinished, but is anyone is interested I can share resources to make different coloured skins..
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, I thought this one is pretty cool (especially when you're 15 and facebookin'), so here you have:

RELEASE 0.36

- New calibration data: R800i

- Social features
[Android Apps and Games] cian hackett:
That would be savage. If you could would love to try my hand at making a skin.

Another feature I'd love to see would be the whole app running as a widget. So rather than having to go into the app I just swipe across to a homescreen and its there. Not sure if this is possible but would be useful.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, I'll clean up the resources and see which files need to be shared. About the widget - I think sweeps are captured as screen change gesture, but I might be wrong...
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
No compatibility for froyo ? :(

I get problem parsing package although thread title says 2.2+
[Android Apps and Games] cian hackett:
Ah yea widget wouldn't work for that reason

Also here is the default cover I made.

Not sure if that image upload worked so here is a link http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma6l60E6fl1qkt4gbo1_100.png
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
The manifest android:minSdkVersion is set to 8 (which is froyo). If it doesn't install then I would have to search if there's any other setting... Or maybe someone reading this thread could tell what else do I have to do to enable it for Froyo?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Good! Don't forget also the white cover version! Or just make it transparent...
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
And yes - new social options are a from of advertising xenoAmp. You can change the message if you want, but if you keep it you'll just make xeno more known.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
The song is 'Under Pressure' by Queen and David Bowie from the Album 'Classic Queen. Here are some screenshots showing how XenoAmp sees the tags and the cover it displays vs, what the app AutoTagger sees.

I believe the cover art in this track is over 300x300. As far as determining whether to display the cover based on the size, I'd rather it would display the cover art I've chosen regardless of the quality rather than go search for something that may be wrong.

PM'ed you with link to the file.

By the way, once I have selected 'edit individual tags' if I don't apply, whatever song I've chosen stays in the display and I can't choose another track to edit. You don't seem to be able to cancel (suppose you make a mistake and don't want to apply the changes).
[Android Apps and Games] withbloodskies:
36 is working pro for me, volume is great - no master reset to high.

Some new features here and there, honestly I'm just waiting for widget and album art support.

Oh I noticed the UI slightly laggy, could be my ROM and processor at a low end max. Either way its working pro.

Maybe a timer on the notification for it to disappear after 5-10 minutes of being inactive?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yeeees, exactly what I thought. Next release will not check size. If you put that cover in your mp3 it means you like it anyway, right?

Sweep the header! The song title left or right! Press back to exit. Don't press "apply" to cancel... ;)

What's wrong with album art? Could you elaborate?

Yes, I see the UI will require some polishing, don't know what slowed it down so much. Maybe too much logcat messages. I'll think about service killer on being inactive, it used to be there, but caused some strange issues.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Next release will pick up your tag-embedded cover regardless of size. Of course you need to remove cached xeno covers for this to work.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Got it. Why didn't I think of that?:o
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Because you still don't feel the way of xeno, young apprentice...
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:

[Android Apps and Games] Fat_boy555:
Ok here is what is needed. The ui needs to be polished. Secondly, has ne1 have problems with music pausing and after that not playing entirely?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OK, PPL, update your xenoamps, 0.36 had a silly bug!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I know the UI has to be polished, but could you give me your issues point by point? :)
[Android Apps and Games] cian hackett:
Way ahead of ya its transparent already. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
RELEASE 0.37

- Faster startup, cleaned lots of code...

- Visual feedback of tag update

- Corrected silly calibration bug (btw. dupa means "arse" in Polish)

- Embedded cover art is always used, even if bad quality (needs xeno cover cache clearing to work)
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Uninstalled .35; installed .37. No scan takes place. Music Library is empty. Tried recursing db, see message that it is purging database, then get FC.

Deinstalled, reinstalled - same behavior.

Not easy for me to get a logcat now.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Don't worry! I'll save ya! (hotfix on the way)
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
hi Ssuuk,

what do you mean by 'the gear of albion" ?? i googlin this, all leads to a game! is that right?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Albion = UK.

They drive on the wrong side, remember? This pref reverses prev/next gesture.

Anyway, I have a new idea. Prefs names (the silly ones) shold be verses from known song. I.e. - the pref that disables sleeping on WPS will be now "I can get no sleep" (from Faithless "Insomnia"). If you have a French song that is about sleeplesness, put a verse from it as this translation. If nothing comes to your mind - translate it any way you like.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
0.38 database scanning fixed!
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Scanning now... :o
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
If it was my app I would change 'change icon' to 'change album artwork' or 'change artwork'
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well yes... but... the default icon is not only for album artwork. If you switch your music view to any other row/grouping the icon will be default artist icon, default year icon, default genre icon and so on... So any other suggestion? :laugh:

Actually it came right now into my mind... Maybe I'll have a default icon for each tag...
[Android Apps and Games] markk1995:
Ok suggestions:

Different pictures are shown for artist, album, genre etc.

Could you make it say different things when held to make it change album artwork, change artist artwork, genre artwork. Don't know if that is possible or if you can only display one thing for all

Also some of the genre pictures are a bit weird because they are randomly selected. You could do what apple did on itunes and include pictures for popular genres like pop rock indie electronic and the app pairs those pictures with them so they are relevant and only collects pictures from the web if t doesn't recognise the genre

Since most lists are top to bottom and left to right, I would make the default swipe left for prev and right for next song and also what n screen off hold volume up for prev song and volume down for next song

Great updates, is my default player even though it isn't finished. Shows the potential! Keep going
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Yep some suggestion.

About equ preset... We can make calibration within the app dependind the output... Earphone - car and home.

Could be that profil.can be saved upon the calibration and with the profil be able to save some equ preset.

About playlist... Actually playlist are available through a sweep on the up screen. What about if we get a ton of playlist... Sweepp...sweeppp... What about add an entry on context menu playlist to reah a list of playlist?

About folder... What about the amigaish fav folder?

M2c
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Yeah, thought about it too. But I don't have such pictures yet.

Hmm... I'm not getting it. Can you explain?

Well yes, the problem is there's hundreds of genres (not to mention - genring is stupid, a few pages ago I mentioned Doors being "Classic Hard Rock" in iTunes!) so it doesn't matter how many genre pictures I will gather - it will never be enough! What genre is Tom Waits?

Since the next word you read is to the right, if I wanted to pull the next word, I would pull it from the right to the center... So it's default. But... If you don't .ike it, you can change it in prefs! Have you tried it?

At your service!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
On todo list already! I miss that too, believe me!

You're reding my mind. I thought about it too and my solution is exactly as you proposed. Will be iplemented.

Also on todo list!
[Android Apps and Games] coolfire92:
Nice update :)

Feels faster,should be better after all covers are downloaded.

But long press doesn't work on songs in the playlist.Probably a ldpi issue.

Another i'd like to see is the artwork to take the whole screen.

Eg.When i click a album on the music sheet the artwork will zoom in to fill the screen.Think wp7's music player.

Another question.Would it be possible to mirror the equalizer from dsp manager?
[Android Apps and Games] cian hackett:
If you have a list of needed icons I'd be happy to give a go at making them won't have my computer until the weekend so I couldn't do it until then would love to contribute to this great app.

Another feature that would be interesting could be guitar chords or musical notation for the playing song.

This could be implemented by opening multiple web pages when lyric searching. What pages open would be preconfigued in the settings ie, open chordie for guitar tabs open tunes wiki for lyrics. Other information on the playing track such as reviews or upcoming concerts could also be included in this.

Thanks again for what has to be the most innovative UI I have seen in recent times.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
You mean just a vanity-eyecandy mirror of the widget?

Well yes - it's: ARTIST, ALBUMARTIST, GENRE, YEAR, ALBUM

Yeah, chords would be nice. I think there's not much sheet music online, though. But still a good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] BombayBoy:
ssuukk,

I still remember the early days & good to see your work get the appreciation it deserves :)

On a funny note, any offers for a buyout of this wonderful idea ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Fat_boy555:
Ssuukk,

The issue I was telling u abt was actually a bug on on ROM. However, the ui needs to be polished.. And translation on Chinese is ½ done. However things will slow down as I am preparing 4 exams
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
That reminds me Winnie-The-Pooh. "A long, long time ago, about last friday..."

Zuckerberg came over weekend offered 1 billion. Jobs' ghost visited yesterday, threatened to sue. Microsoft wants a port for WP7, will pay 1 million. Denied all, I don't have time. I'm coding.

OK, if you find some some time, I'd be glad to know which parts needs polishing.
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Hehehe this made my day :)

well, as this player is minimalistic... The only polish thing raising in my mind is... 25% background tranparency?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
No prob. But you won't see your phone internals through this 25% transparent background! So what do you want to see? I'm coding a cove on WPS right now (a preference is there already).
[Android Apps and Games] Fat_boy555:
I dun know why the ui is laggy... After an update, there is lag. Maybe I will do a logcat and see. What did u add after 0.35?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Nothing that would influence gui. Anyway - it will be sped up, be glad you didn't see it before I made all the optimisations...
[Android Apps and Games] Fat_boy555:
Its 0.35 after installing 0.35, everything changed.....
[Android Apps and Games] cian hackett:
Thought I'd upload a screenshot of my default cover in action.

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8k11U4HT1qkt4gbo1_400.png the resolution is a little low so its kinda blurry around the edges. What resolution is optimal for default cover/icons
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Pretty cool!
[Android Apps and Games] withbloodskies:
Mine is about 26.1-4k.

Edit: I didn't mean mean album art as in broken, I meant to ask will we see an option to turn it on/off on the UI? That's what I meant to ask weather than sound like something was missing.

Edit: I'm not sure how I do this, I do it every time I reinstall the app. It has the music playing after it does the searching, but this time my music wasnt in the 3 dots, so I couldn't shuffle.

I did what I always do which was redue the search and it continued to ignore the 3 dots.

Can you put a shuffle all on the music library shown below or in the music directory? This music player is the opposite for me of what I normally use. I just enter the entire library and click shuffle and let it do its thing, I have the most issues trying to play all my files in xeno, no offense if that sounded snotty. This is my favorite music player now, its just missing the most important feature.

No one I know just clicks an album and plays it.. that I know of.
[Android Apps and Games] coolfire92:
I meant the settings from dsp manager ie the equalizer.Don't bother if its troublesome :p

What about full screen artwork?The images downloaded from lastfm look high res enough for that?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
If you mean you want cover on the main screen - I am coding it right now.

Why do you uninstall? Anyway - the music that starts after db scan is th "10 random albums" DJ. It's there for the idiots who don't know how to navigate.

Well - yes. You have the "All my music" DJ, just create a new playlist, call it "All my tracks" or whatever, go to DJs, "All my tracks" and add them all to this list. Voila - a list with all the files. Use it whenever you want. Shuffle it whenever you want.

It's not troublesome, but it will be probably slow. I can check it though.

Don't know bout full screen, right now I am using 90% of screen artwork on WPS screen, you will see it in next release.

[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Hi,

This was not the idea to see totally internal phone... Still need to see what is going on XA WPS. My feelings is based on black this would smoother the background. I made a pic with a dummy widget 4X1 with 25% transparency. To get a seeghtseen what about. Just a suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Oh, guys! Guys! I am always looking for cult / genre-defining / must-hear / muost important / BIG albums. You know what I mean. These kind of albums, that even if you hate (or just don't dig) the kind of music of this album, after hearing it you'd say - "a timeless masterpiece".

So what would be your entries?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Aaaah, you mean widget, not "now playing" screen! I can make current widgets transparent anytime, it's no prob.
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
Nonono... Widget was just an example... I meant WPS. The widget is only to get an example on how 25% ttanparency looks like. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
But WPS is... Well... Black. How can I make it transperant? Unless you mean cover image on WPS, which is 50 percent, 25 would be invisible. You'll see with next release.
