I forgot that Pandora is only available in the US, Australia, & New Zealand. Boo! Oh well, Google Music support is cool. I subscribed to it specifically for the purposes of this app.

I currently have a Niles amp that is auto sensing so when I turn on whatever I have connected to it; it automagically turns on and plays music through my speaker selector. I have outdoor speakers so I'm sometimes outside with my phone (the player) and it disconnects. Having a dedicated player(s) and using my phone as a remote control unit would be awesome. The music would not be interrupted when the controller drops out. This would be very much like Sonos where there could be multiple dedicated players that are dedicated to various locations throughout a home and selectable from the controller. Okay, okay, basically I'm asking for the ability to turn an old phone into a sonos-like connect so it can be controlled remotely from another device which I don't know if it can even be done. I can barely code a "Hello World" app lol. Anyway, I really enjoy this app as is and look forward to using it everyday. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
The player requires at least Android 4.1. If your "old phones" are running Jelly Bean, its technically possible. But it requires some larger redesigns of the soundseeder app. Its definitely a nice idea, but something for version 2.

I think I'll have to buy some Sonos speakers to check their solution in detail... ;)

I'm new to Soundseeder, and I am trying to sync my Google all access account. The app freezes every time. Tried on GS6 Edge, HTCOne m7 and Galaxy Note 8.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Can you please describe when exactly the app freezes?

Have you been asked to choose a google account?

Does the import start?
[Android Apps and Games] danfill:
Great idea.
[Android Apps and Games] Chris11ferret:
Google Music Sync Freeze

I have had this happen to me as well on both my Note 3 and Moto X 2014. I open Soundseeder and go to Google Music section. Tapping on the three dot menu icon, I tap Update Tracks, where the Importing data notification pops up. Once I hit OK, another pop up appears for 1-3 seconds saying Importing music and once it disappears the app becomes unresponsive and no music has been downloaded.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hey Chris. Thanks for your feedback!

Are you interested in beta-testing my latest changes? As I can't reproduce your issue, it would be very helpful for me...

SoundSeeder v1.6.0 released

Hello again!

I've just uploaded SoundSeeder v1.6.0 to google play and xda. It brings many bugfixes and improvements and adds support for the internal microphone and USB soundcards.

[IMG="SoundSeeder android usb audio"]http://soundseeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/soundseeder1.6-700x446.jpg[/IMG]

Microphone support

Soundseeder is now able to record the input of the internal microphone, to stream it to all your connected speakers.

(To avoid audio feedbacks, you should turn off the speaker of the SoundSeeder Player device, while using the microphone.)

USB-Audio support

SoundSeeder now also supports the Android host mode for audio on compatible Android devices*.

If your device supports USB-Audio accessory, you can use soundseeder to stream external audio sources via the line-in (AUX) port of a connected USB soundcard.

*USB host mode needs to be supported by your hardware. USB-Audio is officially supported since Android 5.0 and proprietary supported by some vendors since Android 4.1. We have successfully tested soundseeder with soundcards based on the “C-Media” audio chipset.

Especially users of Nexus devices should see the article Record and play back audio using USB host mode for more information.

Full release notes:

- Microphone & line in (AUX) support

- USB soundcard support (“USB host for audio” required)

- Android M support

- Improved connection handling

- Google Music import fixed

- UI and usability improved

- Bugfixes

As always: please let me know what you think about the new features and report all issues you notice.

This issue is fixed in v.1.6.0. Thanks for testing Chris :good:
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Hi jekatt, thanks for the nice release!

Do you have a recommendation which USB soundcard to choose?

I'd like to connect my a chromecast audio to my soundseeder player to stream spotify to multiple speakers in my house. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
supported usb devices

The implementation is based on the native usb audio support of android.

Googles statement about supported audio devices is: "Android host mode for audio supports most USB audio class compliant or "driverless" accessories."

In detail:

Host mode

Android 5.0 (API level 21) and above supports a subset of USB audio class 1 (UAC1) features:

The Android device must act as host
The audio format must be PCM (interface type I)
The bit depth must be 16-bits, 24-bits, or 32-bits where 24 bits of useful audio
data are left-justified within the most significant bits of the 32-bit word
The sample rate must be either 48, 44.1, 32, 24, 22.05, 16, 12, 11.025, or 8 kHz
The channel count must be 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo)
Perusal of the Android framework source code may show additional code
beyond the minimum needed to support these features. But this code has
not been validated, so more advanced features are not yet claimed.

Accessory mode

Android 4.1 (API level 16) added limited support for audio playback to the
host. While in accessory mode, Android automatically routes its audio
output to USB. That is, the Android device serves as a data source to the
host, for example a dock.

Source: http://source.android.com/devices/audio/usb.html
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Great, thank you. There are lots of "driverless" usb soundcards available with good ratings for less than 10$.

Mine is already ordered. I'll write a short review when its working. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] MrBorneo:
Amazing app guys.

I've been looking for these features for a long time.

You deserve much more attention... :)

Bluetooth support

Tried this nice app and its working good, some issues i had when devices are connected to deferent accesspoints a delay starts and i couldnt select a delay value less than 10 or 20, also bluetooth connected devices cant play sound from sound seed, hope a future plan is considered.
[Android Apps and Games] Chris11ferret:
Not an issue, let me know if you need anymore help.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hi wsramahi.

The range to adjust the offset (delay) of the playback is -400ms to 400ms. Can you explain what exactly doesn't work when you try to set the offset?

And bluetooth speakers should work, but they add an additional variable delay to the playback. So its quite hard to get them in sync...
[Android Apps and Games] MrBorneo:
Hello.

I noticed an issue. When saving my song queue as playlist, it misses some titles after loading the playlist again.

The affected titles contain some special characters like: é

greets bruno
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you. I fixed it, please wait for the next release... :good:
[Android Apps and Games] wsramahi:
The delay offset slider is incremented with +-10, my case i had was something between 0 & 10 for an accurate sound timing which i couldn't have.

I have samsung tab s2 8inch, and when im using soundseeder without bluetooth its working until i connect a Bluetooth device, the player keeps playing but no sound is transferred to the connected device on the streamer device (tab s2)

[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
I just found this yesterday and I like what I have seen so far...

however, As I do not have google play on any of my devices I am unable to use the in-app purchase...

is there a way to purchase the full app directly from you?

thank you
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hey, thanks for your feedback.

Do you have any other app store installed on your devices?

Soundseeder is also available on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/JekApps-SoundSeeder-Music-Player/dp/B00UDI1ADA
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
sorry...no

I tried to install amazon on my phone but when I went to download ANY app it just goes to a white screen.

the download from here also tries to use Google play to purchase...

oh well...thanks anyway...seemed really cool. not really useful with the restrictions though.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
For those of you, who use soundseeder with their Windows/Linux computer or with an old android device:

I've just uploaded the latest version of the soundseeder speaker apps for Java and for Android 2.x.

This update improves the stability and the support for media files with variable bitrates.
[Android Apps and Games] wheeliemonster:
Hi jekatt,

Thank you for an awesome product! I purchased the full version straight away as it is brilliant!

I have a question for you. Is there any intention to provide some kind of API to the program?

I'll explain - I use an old android phone as the central "control" station, which then streams to itself (speakers plugged in) and a PC in the other room via the Java app, oh and an Android TV box in another room.

It would be great if I could remotely manage the "control" phone, e.g. adjust volumes, turn on/off speakers and maybe even browse playlists/internet radio, etc.

Anyway, thanks again for a great app and sorry if you've been asked this before.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hi.

I've already started designing a "REST" api to remotecontrol the player.

With such an api it will be possible to send http requests to control the main settings of the player.

This api will not be available in the next release, but its part of my roadmap.
[Android Apps and Games] arvindpxda:

[Android Apps and Games] Zaph0D6075:
Amazing app

Hello, very nice app.

I'm currently using free version, and wondering did that version has any difference from paid one except number of speaker connected at same time, time limits and ads?
[Android Apps and Games] peterhugelberg:
I just stumbled upon this app while doing some research into a planned diy project.

I want to convert two passive speakers into wireless active ones and then be able to stream music to them from Android Devices as well as Linux/Windows Machines.

Now the Android Part is straightforward with your app. Just integrate a raspberry pi or old android phone into both speakers and run the app or java receiver on them, start the app on the streaming Phone and stream away.

Now to the Linux/Windows Part:

Is there any way to directly stream from a Linux/Windows machine to an android phone or raspberry? The Java Application seems to be a receiver only, and the only way i found on your website is running a separate HTTP/DLNA Stream on the Windows/Linux Machine and start playback of this stream on an Android Device. If at all possible i would like to be able to cut the Android Device completely out of the mix if desired.

Would running your app via an Android Emulator be possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Wuby986:
i've found this app very nice and a good project! only issue i've encountered is the firewall setup but was quickly solved once i've found the port used from the jar.

i've used this comand to see all port used and service name related:

sudo netstat -lptu

View attachment 4147303

then i could configure the firewall adding rule to allow incoming

View attachment 4147311

that's it.. now i can connect without any problem.

thanks again nice project

Hey. I'm using soundseeder with my girlfriend when we go jogging in the park, to listen to the same playlist.

Is there any chance to make my google music playlist available for offline playback with soundseeder?
[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:
Hey guys, just stumbled uppon that article about your app and instantly had to give it a try, however, i instantly had to give up for now, because i. Could not access my music located on external sd card behind a .nomedia. file which is there to keep the album art out of my gallery. Atm i use mortplayer, which despite being outdated, still is the best folderbased musicplayer out there.

Do you guys think you could once implement an "ignore .nomedia", or a "default music path" option?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you [MENTION=852100]kroewe[/MENTION]! For your support and your ideas! :o

The widget for the speaker is planed but will take some time.

A configurable transparency for the widgets would require a slightly different design and a dedicated settings dialog for the widgets. We will keep it in mind, but this has low priority for now. But what we will do, is increasing the current default transparency of the widgets. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Sorry, i know this sounds like a very supid question, but how can i add the new widgets to my homescreen?

I can't see them under widgets? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
When you have updated the player to v0.6 there should be two widgets selectable "SoundSeeder small" and "SoundSeeder large". :confused:

Have you tried to reboot or completly uninstall and reinstall the Player?
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
:thumbup: The rebooting helped, now I can select the widgets. Great job!
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Good to know. Which phone and android Version do you use? I didn't have this issue when i updated my test devices...
[Android Apps and Games] kroewe:
since going pro, i cannot keep a speaker connected, have tried with three different phones set up as speakers. get several random disconnects per minute. if i connect more than one speaker, they all randomly disconnect and sometimes reconnect on their own. very seldomly will all three stay connected.

i am running the player on a note 2 with slimbean, the speakers i have tried connecting are a samsung infuse running PAC 4.1.2, an old htc hero running cm7 and on old optimus s stock 2.3.6.

cant tell if the problem is player side or speaker side as the player continues to play but when looking at the list of speakers you can see the speakers disconnecting and sometimes reconnecting, sometimes staying disconnected until reconnecting them through the player side.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Good morning kroewe.

"random disconnects" sound like a Wi-Fi issue (speed, signal strength) or like a problem with the device performance.

Can you please try the workarounds for the known issues, i posted above:
[Android Apps and Games] v_plou:
I'm a litte bit sad today, since I the Player and the Speaker can't see eatch other, from hotspot to wifi. :(

I tried on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 before purchased and I work flawlessly. Then I purchased I can't use it on my phone (XPERIA ray, CM10, Android 4.1.2, ROM SUPER JELLY BEAN 5.5).

Now I temporarily can't test it on the Tab, so I'm working on firgure out what is the problems here: purchased version, or my ROM, or what's else. I will report the result soon. :)

Anyway, I love this app so much and hope you keep developing it. And I have a idea of many Players, like wifi routers, a main one and others are repeaters. Maybe with that, we can connect more :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hey v_plou,

I'm not sure if you are using the hotspot the right way.

What do you mean by "Player and the Speaker can't see eatch other, from hotspot to wifi"

When you create a hotspot with one device (i.e the player), you have to connect your speakers to the hotspots Wi-Fi network.

Have you done it this way?

As far as i know, androids portable hotspot feature cant be used as Wi-Fi repeater. :confused:

But nevertheless you can connect multiple players to the same network and choose to which one you want to connect your speaker..

Why would you prefer blutooth over wi-fi?

You can create a portable hotspot to connect devices, if you don't have a wi-fi available.

If you are not connected to Wi-Fi when you start SoundSeeder, you see a pop-up where you can choose to create a portable hotspot.

Click on "HotSpot" to jump to your settings and activate it.

On your second device all you have to do is to connect to the new Wi-Fi. :)

very nice app! is there any way to stream the android audio from other apps like playmusic and spotify?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Streaming the output of 3rd party apps is unfortunately not possible on Android without rooting.

But it would be possible to add some cloud based streaming plattforms like playmusic to SoundSeeder.

Spotify has quite rigorous terms of use. That might become a problem when sharing their music with others.
[Android Apps and Games] lilfo:
It would be nice to have this feature for rooted phones :)

Update v0.7

Update v0.7 for SoundSeeder is out now. :)

I've updated the main post and attached the apk files of the newest version.

Changes in v0.7:

- New option to keep device awake. Use this setting if SoundSeeder looses the connection, when the device goes in standby.

- New option to set priority to gapless playback instead of synchronicity. If you don't need perfect synchronicity, this setting can help you to avoid pauses in playback.

- Bugfixes and connection improvements

I have also linked a short youtube video demonstrating SoundSeeder... :)

[Android Apps and Games] jackso84:
looking for something else

sorry for such a question. I am a teacher, and I have looking for an app like this one, but instead of sharing or replying music; is there an app for replaying or sharing images or videos instantly just like this app does? it is like streaming my cellphone screen to others. is it possible or is there already an app like the one I am asking for? thanks for your your support.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hey, thanks for reporting!

The crash will be fixed in the next release, its related with the slash at the end of the link.

To listen to your station enter this link:

https://live.scpr.org

(But it is also already available in the Radio database. Look for 893 KPCC)

And one more note: You can not enter the website url directly.

You always need to search for a stream url or the link to pls file (playlist), like ins linked on the website of this station.
