Version 1.5.2 has been released and should be available for download soon. As mentioned in my previous post, it contains the awesomely fun in-app YouTube video viewing feature plus several other enhancements and bug fixes.

The $1.50 sale is going to be ending on Wednesday 4/23. The price will be raised to $3.99, so if you're interested in grabbing the app now is the time!

Here's the complete changelog:

- (New Feature) Select 'Play YouTube video' on the Now Playing screen (or in the '...' menu next to a song) to play the YouTube video within the app. You can also tap on other video results and the next time you choose to 'Play YouTube video', it will play the last selected video. The video will go fullscreen when switching to landscape orientation.

- (Enhancement) On the Help screen, add FAQs for which audio formats are supported and reasons why songs may not be showing up in the app. Also when no music is found on the device, add an option to the popup to display additional info concerning why the songs may not be showing up.

- (Enhancement) While in playlist multi-add mode, if a Fave is tapped do not close the left-side sliding panel. This will allow you to quickly add multiple Faves to the playlist.

- (Enhancement) When downloading album art for a song, do not embed the album art into all songs in the album if the album name is undefined or if the album contains more than 25 songs (which could indicate that the songs in the album are being grouped together because the album name was undefined).

- (Enhancement) Add a Close button to the Song wiki popup. The back button will still close this popup.

- (Bug Fix) If you displayed the mini-player and immediately viewed Faves or Playlists, the background would be overly transparent (too difficult to read).

[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
Version 1.5.3 has been released and should be available soon in the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store.

Here's the changelog:

- (Enhancement) When sharing the currently playing song, if the user previously viewed the song's YouTube video using the inline YouTube player, use that video link in the shared text. Otherwise search YouTube for the song's YouTube video link.

- (Enhancement) On devices that can't support the inline YouTube viewing feature (i.e. devices like the Amazon Kindle that don't have Google's YouTube app), when selecting 'View YouTube video' and an error occurs, ask the user if they have the official YouTube app installed. If they say no, disable inline YouTube viewing and launch the device's default YouTube player. Inline YouTube viewing can be re-enabled in Preferences.

- (Bug Fix) The artist/song info on the standard notification was being cut off on certain tablets. Also improved the display of the album art on the standard notification.

- (Bug Fix) In some other countries outside the USA (like Germany), album art downloading would always fail.

- (Bug Fix) App would sometimes crash while on the Now Playing screen on devices with low memory.

- (Bug Fix) App would sometimes crash randomly.

- (Bug Fix) App would sometimes crash if music tag editing failed and the app was closed immediately afterwards.

- (Bug Fix) The borders around the album art on the Now Playing screen were not uniform on some KitKat devices. Also the Chromecast button was not perfectly aligned with the top of the album art.
[Android Apps and Games] zivonex:
thanks a lot for that player I just love that app, really awesome music player!
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Version 1.5.4 was released to fix a crashing bug introduced in 1.5.3 that manifested when the "basic lockscreen controls" option is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
I've finally got a chance to test out the Android Wear emulator (going to be grabbing a Moto 360 when it gets released "later this summer"). I've got great news...Music Player (Remix) is compatible with Android Wear!

If you enable the "basic lockscreen controls" option in the app's preferences, the app will display music controls on the Android Wear device when music is playing. The first card displays album art and track info. Tap it to pause/play. You can swipe right to get "Next" and "Previous" controls.

Here's a screenshot of the controls on the Android Wear emulator:

[IMG="Music Player (Remix) running with the Android Wear emulator"]https://sites.google.com/site/hedamisoft/remix_android_wear.png[/IMG]

I'm going to be releasing an update to the app to enable the "basic lock screen controls" option by default (which will be renamed "basic lock screen & Android Wear controls"). Also in the update you'll be able to enable the mini-player lock screen controls even when the "basic lock screen & Android Wear controls" option is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
Version 1.5.5 has been released and should be available to download soon.

Here's the changelog:

- (Enhancement) Enable the 'basic lock screen controls' preference by default since this will also enable controls on Android Wear devices (it can be disabled in Preferences if desired). And you can now enable this option along with mini-player lockscreen controls.

- (Enhancement) On the 'Mini-player' Preferences screen, add the ability to adjust the position, width, and height of the mini-player detection area at the bottom of the screen.

[MENTION=4269184]DanPLC[/MENTION] my antivirus found Google AD API in this app (paid version). i suppose we've already paid for this great app. but why did it need to be contained with ADs?? so what's the reason of buying it?? :confused: i will appreciate it very much if u remove the ads network or api from the paid version. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
There are absolutely no ad networks implemented in this app (trial or paid). In fact, I've never implemented an ad network in any of my apps. Every external library I've included in the app are all open-source and listed on the "About" screen in the Help section (available via the "?" icon at the top of the right-side sliding panel).

Your antivirus software is not working properly. I would suggest contacting them and letting them know they're identifying this app erroneously.
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
thanks. seems like the best antivirus app turns into the worst! i've to contact them.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
Version 1.5.6 has been released and should be available to download soon.

Here's the changelog:

- (Enhancement) Renamed the 'Lock screen & Wearables' preference screen to 'Lock screen & Remote control'. The previous 'Enable basic lock screen' option has been renamed to 'Enable remote control' since this option really enables all remote control interfaces including the lock screen as well as Bluetooth and Android Wear devices.

- (Bug Fix) Artist name was not being displayed on some bluetooth devices.

- (Bug Fix) App would crash on certain devices after updating album art. Hopefully this is fixed, but not 100% sure since I can't recreate the issue on my devices.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
I've been playing with an app called "Commandr for Google Now" that allows you to issue voice commands via Google Now. It has the ability to integrate with Tasker so you can basically assign a voice command to any Tasker task.

For those of you who don't know, Music Player (Remix) can perform the following commands via Tasker: pause, toggle pause/play, next song, previous song.

To perform these tasks in Tasker, create a new task and go to "System", then choose "Send Intent". In the "Action" field type in one of the following commands:

com.hedami.musicplayerremix.musicservicecommand.pause

com.hedami.musicplayerremix.musicservicecommand.togglepause

com.hedami.musicplayerremix.musicservicecommand.next

com.hedami.musicplayerremix.musicservicecommand.previous

If you're running the trial version, the commands are as follows:

com.hedami.mprtrial.musicservicecommand.pause

com.hedami.mprtrial.musicservicecommand.togglepause

com.hedami.mprtrial.musicservicecommand.next

com.hedami.mprtrial.musicservicecommand.previous

So now with Commandr and Tasker I'm able to control my music via voice which is especially nice while driving. On my steering wheel, I have "next" and "previous" buttons, so it's pretty easy to change tracks when streaming via bluetooth But there's no easy way in my car to toggle pause/play without switching screens on the touchscreen, so having a voice function is really nice.

exasparated

sorry, but this was the single most annoying music player I've ever encountered (so far: 20-ish)

reason:

- NO QUIT BUTTON!!!! or if there is one, its really well hidden.

- no folder play, no playlist based on folders

- the invisible buttons did not create more space for art

- if you insist on invisible buttons, at least have the decency / customer friendliness to issue at least ONE warning about that.

exasparated, i gave up and went with minilyrics, rocket, player pro.

sorry to be harsh dude.

please ignore this if I'm the only one saying this.

you can blame me being dumb, a woman, a noob if that makes you feel better.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
To completely close out the app and its service, tap the "X" button in the notification. This is the same way most music apps work.

You are correct, there is no folder browsing currently. Browsing is based upon tag data (song, album, artist, genre, composer). Folder browsing may be a feature I add in the future.

The main purpose of making the album art into the control buttons is to save vertical space for other functions, such as the configurable preset buttons (above the album art), etc. Another reason is to make the control buttons (play/pause, next, previous) large and finger-friendly.

When you run the app for the first time, a visual tutorial is displayed showing you all the features on the Now Playing screen including the invisible control buttons. You can also access this tutorial on the app's Help screen.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

thanks for your ccc explanation, but im afraid its too late for me, im mentally too tired to add a new player.

i see your thinking with the buttons, oddly, its not appealing. to me.

also, your real estate for art seems small, because, borders?

X-button ...... really??? where??? a link to some pics showing it, would be handy. but i get it, your time is limited.

best of luck, hope others like it better.
[Android Apps and Games] syabab:
which is better, apollo or this one? thanks! :D
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
Here are screenshots of both the standard notification (Android 3.0+) and the expanded notification (Android 4.1+):
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
You can try out the app for yourself. There's a fully-functional, 14-day free trial version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hedami.mprtrial
[Android Apps and Games] Emre Han:
Not compatible with my device. LG E400. I'm sorry :(
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
It's not compatible because your device has a low display resolution of 240x320. I decided not to support this very low resolution because it would result in a Now Playing screen with severely compromised functionality (due to the small amount of vertical display space available).

The app's minimum supported resolution is 320x480.
[Android Apps and Games] GwenKillerby:
First off: OMG, you like Mike Jackson! Somethings alright with you after all ...;)

Secondly: WHAT!? a close button, which is not EVEN inside your own interface??? What kinda app is that??? I am truly flabbergasted. It might be just me, but Afaik, most apps have that as an EXTRA option, a fallback, not the default way to properly close it.

The smartly, user-friendly constructed ones have it at the bottom of their main menu. Really.

I'll have you know that I spent another HOUR looking for it, because I just couldn't believe anyone could design something without a close button.

Exasparation doesn't quite cover it but my command of English is limited.

Anyways, moving on.

More stuff kind of wrong with this app.

How you divided the real estate is ..... annoying ... TO ME. You have lotsa blackspace that seems to be doing nothing, which could have been used for artwork, thats just me.

and it's .... slow ish? Everytime I open a playlist, the app takes the (CPU) time to tell that "no songs were found in this playlist", only to show me the playlist 1.2 seconds later. I have a heart condition, and it's sooooooo not ON, to do that to me everytime ")Each time it happens I think: Goddam, 32GB of music ... gone. Not cool man, not cool at all.

I personally have no use for albums, since I create playlists based on folders. Also, genres, composers (really?), karaoke (REALLY?!!) are pretty useless. or rather, why in Gawdsname would you choose to put THOSE prominently in your main menu, on the right handed side, but NOT playlists?!?! Keep in mind that most people are righthanded, naturally prefer the righ menu as the go-to, so that's where they want their playlists.

Are you like ..... a lefthanded Japanese dude? don't mean anything by that.

I did find your lyrics button, which is GOOD. Sadly the app

- doesn't show ALL the embedded lyrics, some yes, some no

- annoyingly wants to download lyrics, that are already embbed

- doesn't even see external lyrics, as in .LRC files

Rocketplayer still rocks your world, but I guess they are a million dollar company, while you work alone. So, kudos.

Finally, your showing of the artwork is inconsistent, but not very. And I haven't found a player that does this 100% correctly, so that might not be you. most likely not you.

Please don't get the impression that your app sucks or whatever. It just sucks for me, in a big (but diminishing) way. And I don't know how smart you are, or rather how easy this stuff is for you, but it seems like a lot of hard work which I appreciate. I can watch that shid for hours ....;)

You seem to have lotsa nice extras, like auto lists, but I am not in the mood for htat now.

cheers, mate.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
That's probably a good idea. The app doesn't seem to be your cup of tea. But that's the great thing about Android...lots of options for you to choose from so you can find the right app to fit your needs.

I'm grateful that most people don't agree with your assessment of the app. Based upon feedback I've received in the Play Store and personal communications (email & Twitter), most people have really liked it and find its unique features very appealing.
[Android Apps and Games] simonkain:
not bad~
[Android Apps and Games] GwenKillerby:
ss

lol, that was moving on to MORE and OTHER problems your app has, but it's good to see you make lemonade. I should learn to do that.

ah, the STORE!! Didn't they teach you about cognitive dissonance resolution in B-school? Or whatever school? ;)

:?) ;) :?) ;) :?)

Btw, were you going for an Waaaay Back type of GUI feel? Cos somehow, it reminded me of the 90s...

;) :?) ;) :?)

PM me when you've added folder play and utilize a tat more of the screen. btw, BORDERS???? ... eeer, INTERESTING ....?
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
GwenKillerby, I'm not sure why you keep coming back here since you obviously don't like the app. I already get that point.

I've received plenty of critiques, feedback, and suggestions on the app from people over the years, and I appreciate all of them (good or bad), but most of them have been very polite. You, on the other hand, are rude and bordering on troll-like behavior. So I think it's time you just move on.
[Android Apps and Games] GwenKillerby:
Oh, im sorry you feel like that, not my intention.

and it's a sort of inexplicalbe fascination with the incongruences in your app: why would you combine the most creative stuff with the most convoluted stuff, like that?

That's it, basically.
[Android Apps and Games] androidaholic11:
This one by far imo

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Then why don't you just move on out of this thread. If you don't like the app, fine. Like the man said, there are tons of other music apps out there, use one of them. The way I see it is you are just the type of poster that wants to put someone down no matter what they say or do. The dev has been WAY more gracious than I would've been after being attacked like this. And lastly, if you know so much about it, MAKE YOUR OWN MUSIC PLAYER that has options to suit you. Unbelievable. XDA is such a wonderful community and literally the only time it's not is when someone like you just continually criticizes a dev for not tailor-making an app to their specific needs.

Version 1.6.2 has been released and should be available for download soon. It fixes a bug introduced in version 1.6.0 that resulted in the "View/Edit tags" function not working. Also reading/writing of embedded album art was not working.

[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
Version 1.6.4 has been published and should appear soon. I improved the appearance of the 4x1 widget. I just bought a Galaxy S6 and the look of the 4x1 widget was driving me nuts. It's much better now.
[Android Apps and Games] catchjeff:
Just found this thread and will give it a go. I am a PowerAmp Pro Player user and really like the features. If I like this better I'll spend the loot on it. A very good music player is important to me. I really like the voice control.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
Let me know what you think after trying it.
[Android Apps and Games] catchjeff:
I like everything except that my device does not support the equalizer function. I have a T Mobile Samsung Note 3 running a custom ROM, DomPop, Android 5.0.2 with the custom lean Kernal running. The ROM has viper for Android installed already. Is that the issue, viper4android is installed? I did not download the driver and complete installation. I need the equalizer to make the bass where I like it.

It is a pretty cool music player. Def worth the money but I would have to play with it more to make that determination. Like I said the equalizer is the only issue I see. I like the invisible buttons but to appease the nay sayers maybe you can add a very transparent button there. I wouldn't but it's not my music player.

Great job A+ app.
[Android Apps and Games] DanPLC:
Thanks for checking out the app. It uses the built-in Android equalizer library which I've found to be unreliable on certain devices. For example, on my S4 it had issues. However on my S6 it works fine.

I wouldn't want to add semi-transparent buttons on top of the album art. The hidden (and large) music controls on the Now Playing screen are one of the things that sets this app apart from others. But some people have to get used to not seeing their controls at the bottom of the screen. But once you get used to using the controls embedded on top of the album art, it works well.
