So if I install a 4.1+ custom rom I could run the app ?
[Android Apps and Games] Poizyn:
If I'm not wrong it means it needs a ROM that is android 4.1 and higher.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
:laugh: correct...
[Android Apps and Games] Djay1809:
I don';t know if this is in any other post, but, Is it possible this can be used with Google Music.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hey djay.

Sorry no google play support by now.

But as we received this feature request quite often, we will check if its possible... :good:

This will get connected to my soundsystem and stays plugged in all the time.

Thank you for this awesome app!!! :good:

This option is already implemented :D

In the settings you can choose "Stereo", "left" or "right".

great app btw!!
[Android Apps and Games] saramon:
It would be nice if this used any sound from the device, or did be nice to watch YouTube or something, and have wireless sound...
[Android Apps and Games] duff91:
I tried your app, but the sound that comes out is not like when you listen to a normal song... why?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hey.

On Player side, Speaker side or both?

Which file format did you try?
[Android Apps and Games] MilkyJoePD:
Works with Wi-Fi direct as well.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Great to know! :good:

Thanks Joe!

Hey all!

Is anyone of you interested in supporting me with the localization of SoundSeeder?

I have already received some offerings for Italian, French and Polish, many thanks for that!

Anyone for Spanish, Portuguese would be awesome! :fingers-crossed:

It's not perfect sync ...

HTC sensation 4.1 ViberRom

Edit: After 2 or 3 min :D they are sync corectly :D ... but sometimes Wildfire still laggy
[Android Apps and Games] duff91:
Whit all 2 app sounseeder... On two different phone, for example the solo in the song is very very low

soundseeder on Beagle bone black

Hi , you made a great job, your app is awesame!

I've tryed on my Beagle Bone Black with a 7" cap LCD Touch , but i don't have a wifi on this ARM based device, i have an Ethernet connection.

You think that in the future you can implement the ethernet connection?

Thanks and sorry for my bad English
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
At the moment I have no experience in how the Ethernet connection is handled by Android.

Generally this should be no problem. Does the Player / Speaker on your device claim to be offline?
[Android Apps and Games] foxdog66:
Man I really want to use this but all of my music is on Google music. :( maby there is a way to send all media sound to seeder speakers?
[Android Apps and Games] aguscaba:
Hi friend I can help you with Spanish, just let me know.

In the other hand it would be awesome if the speakers were Samsung group play compatibles :)
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you for your support [MENTION=2992185]aguscaba[/MENTION]!

- The protocol Samsung uses is not open and i guess it is optimized for the Galaxy S4.

It is quiet easy to build a Player which is in sync on one specific device / model, but to support different devices by different manufacturer you need a completely different approach.

Sorry, but SoundSeeder will not become compatible with Group Play... :)
[Android Apps and Games] digidom:
The device have ethernet connected but sounseeder says that is offline.

The traslation in Spanish is on my way in the next day.
[Android Apps and Games] alambers:
I really like this app and want it to work, however, no matter what I do I can't keep multiple speakers connected at the same time.

I'm using various combinations of Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy S devices. It doesn't seem to matter which is Seeder and which are Speakers. Hotspot mode seems to be slightly better, however, I can't even keep two speakers connected reliably. :(

My router is a Linksys E3000.

I'd like to add my vote for a system that allows files to be stored on all devices and have the Seeder only have to send synchronization, and maybe playlist, data.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hello alambers and thanks for your feedback.

Within the next days we will release a new version, which will hopefully improve the connection of player and speakers.

Unfortunately we have not been able to reliably reproduce the problems you (and others) reported, but we keep doing our best to improve the playback on all devices...
[Android Apps and Games] Sabyn:
is there any chance for features, to connect the phone with the pc, to have a client on pc i mean. So i can stay in bed and select with my phone the music in my pc?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hey [MENTION=5235310]Sabyn[/MENTION].

Currently we are very busy with improving the Android App, so i don't think there will be a PC client in the near future, sorry.

But what about getting an "old" gingerbread device on ebay..?! Connect it to your sound system and the ac adapter and then... stay in bed and remote control your music. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
Just tested this after seeing a review on YouTube.

Working fine between Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7.

It was better program if it worked with blue tooth and NOT by wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] SKAm69:
Great idea for an app! Tested between 4.2 and 2.3 Androids and it has a little delay. So it appears like an echo effect.
[Android Apps and Games] ibennani:
Just wanna say I love this app and that it really synchronize the audio playback!

Great job!

As mentioned earlier: An ability to capture the audio stream from other apps (Spotify, Youtube, Netflix and so on) would really extend the usage of this app

And - of course - I have already purchased the full version!!

V0.8 released

Hello everyone.

It has taken a while but we've been busy.

Version 0.8 of SoundSeeder is out now with many improvements and bugfixes.

I've updated the main post and attached the new .apk files. The play store entry should be up to date within the next hour.

There are many changes in the new version, too many to list them all in detail.

The main changes have been made in the streaming engine, which should now be much more stable on low WiFi and older devices.

You should have much less connection- or sync-problems.

As the most devices have only one speaker, we are now per default streaming the music in mono, so the traffic is reduced by 50%. Of course you can switch it to stereo (or left / right) if you want to.

SoundSeeder is now available in the following languages:

English, German, Spanish, Italian, Czech and Polish.

Many thanks to ILCAMPIONE, Josep, skaram and Jan for supporting us with translations!

Here is a (still incomplete) list of the most important changes in v0.8

v0.8:

- Huge improvements in stability, performance and usability

- Improved connection handling and synchronicity

- New default streaming in mono. Network traffic reduction by 50% without any loss of quality on most devices.

- Play songs from external file browsers and mail attachments.

- New localisations: italian, spanish, czech, polish

- New menu item to shutdown SoundSeeder, use back button to hide the app

- Many many minor bugs fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Thank you, works great.

I like the new menus to add songs in the media library! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you. :)

They were already in the previous version, you can open them also by long-clicking on a library entry.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hello everyone.

Many users are asking us for Bluetooth support, but i can't really see a benefit of Bluetooth over WiFi...?!

Why would you prefer bluetooth?

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
I've connected my two SoundSeeder Speakers to bluetooth speakers.

So my bluetooth connection is already in use. I'm happy with SoundSeeder using WiFi! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
v0.82

Hello everyone.

We have released a new update to version 0.82. :o

Some users reported sync-problems, which seem to be hardware related.

Especially Nexus 10 users reported, that the playback of the SoundSeeder Speaker was out of sync.

Please report us, if you have similar issues when using SoundSeeder.

We have now implemented a new setting, to adjust the offset of each speaker manually, if the automatic synchronization does not work properly for your device.
[Android Apps and Games] Sabyn:
how many devices can we connect in the free version? because i tried with more than mine and a friend, and fail, not more than 2 devices on free version?
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Yes, you are right. You can connect 2 devices for free...

You should see an info dialog when you try to connect more devices!?
[Android Apps and Games] Sabyn:
i don`t knoe, but from i what i remind, i think in free version were 4 maximum or 8, not 2...

[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:

[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Sorry, ICS is not supported by the SoundSeeder Player.

API Level 16 is required for some base features of SoundSeeder.

Using app on non android thing

Hi

I am making a DIY wifi speaker with a TP-link router, how can I make my router appear in your app?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hey there.

Thats a cool idea!

The router is a component of your wifi speaker? How do you connect your speaker to it?

The SoundSeeder Music Player shows all available SoundSeeder Speakers in the same network.

Your router is not shown in the app, you just have to be connected to it.
[Android Apps and Games] lujo_zgb:
I am thinking of buying this app as it is the only one that suits my needs. Been searching for this the whole day, and you've done a great job!

The only two problems I am experiencing is that the player app doesn't have a landscape orientation (bad for my docked tablet) and that I am experiencing problems with playing song one after another. Is this music queue problem due to the app not being full or has it something to do with my tablet?

Also, great job on letting older devices act as speakers, very good for my old Samsung Galaxy Mini 1 S5570.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you!

Landscape mode... Yes, I understand that this is quite important if you are using a docking station... It's on the todo list, I will raise it's priority.

And can you please give me some more details on your song queue issue?

Do you mean the disconnection of Player and Speaker every 4 minutes?

The player itself should play all songs in your queue one after another...
[Android Apps and Games] lujo_zgb:
Landscape mode is no biggie, but it is important :)

I can live with undocking my device every once in a while.

First case - I tried to change a song playing, selecting it from the library, but it did not play. It just stopped playing, displaying the song that was originally playing.

Second case - I tried making a playlist, selecting one song, then adding another into the queue and then pressed next. The app crashed.

Third case -I tried selecting one short song (about 2:40 mins) and a longer one after, but it just played the first song, not playing the second.

Fourth case - Added a whole album to the queue, pressed next, app crashed.

I am using a Asus TF101 running Katkiss 4.2.2, build/nightly/version 286 for the player and a Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 running stock, unrooted 2.3.6. for the speaker. Latency is fabulously low, lower than when I used a Xperia Tablet Z and a Xperia Z using it for the same thing via the built in Walkman app.

If you need any logs, or if I can contribute somehow else (other than coding), please feel free to contact me, as I am very interested in this project.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Phew... That sounds like lots of work... ;)

First of all, can you please send me the crash report?

If you installed the App via the Play Store there should be a dialog where you can choose to send a report when the app crashes...

What you describe sounds a little bit like an inconsistent media library...

router speaker

I am trying to do something like http i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee153/natecmiel/front.jpg

The speakers are connected to the router using USB, and the router is running openwrt. I will put a few of these

in different rooms and I want them to show up in the app. Is there some standard protocol you follow to detect/stream to speakers?
[Android Apps and Games] lujo_zgb:
I installed via Play Store, but the weird thing is, there is no crash report... The app just closes, as I pressed the home key and swiped it away in the multitasking window.

I'll try copying over some music to my internal memory instead of the SD card later today and tell you the results.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
I guess this one is yours, too?!

edit: <link removed>
[Android Apps and Games] lujo_zgb:
Nah, I am sharing my account with my friend there. Didn't see that he posted it there. Gonna remove it :) nhf

P.S.

I am going to buy your app within a few days, so I will send you a PM with the receipt, so that we are on clear terms.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
No standard protocol, sorry. Its proprietary.

Didn't find one that fitted my needs.

Is it possible to run java applications on the router?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] tavishn:
Nope, there's only 8MB of space in total, and much of it would be already used.

SoundSeeder Google Music support

Hello everyone.

We are about to release a new version of SoundSeeder and are looking for some beta testers.

If you are interested in joining our beta team for testing new versions of SoundSeeder, please leave a message.

The main improvement of the next version of SoundSeeder will be support for Google Play Music.

It would be great to have some testers for this, especially with "All Access" accounts. As it is not available for me here in Germany, I've not been able to test it by now.

greets

jekatt :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Yeah, get me on the list! :good:

Unfortunately I can't support you with All Access but I've uploaded my whole Music to Google Music.

I think many users have been waiting for this! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] wideasleep1:
Count me definitely in! Repurposing "old" phones into media renderers and hubs is a goal of mine...ala Sonos. PM me please. Edit for AllAccesd beta..
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you to both of you! :)

You are right, there is much potential. We have already more feature ideas than time to realize them.

For home entertainment and multi room speaker systems a tablet version with a user friendly control panel would be great.

But before this the media player needs some more features, like an equalizer and a playlist management...

If you have more ideas or feature requests, just let me know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] wideasleep1:
The ultimate is music/audio ubiquity... Music collection residing at home and/or a personal cloud (eg. Dropbox, Pogoplug)and the public cloud ( eg. All Access) accessable from any device LAN or WAN, whereby any given device can serve as control point to deliver to any other device over LAN and WAN. The most desirable would be to accomplish this entirely using Android (low power and inexpensive yet powerful) and also proven tech like WiFi and WAN home connections..although shorter range Bluetooth is cool too. Bubble UPnP is gone a long way towards achieving this but lacks Android only for server and synchronized playback, which you have BRILLIANTLY accomplished. I'm impressed. If you have not done so already please visit bubble UPnP server and play around with it and dig into the code . This combination could be absolutely devastating. :D
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you! Glad to hear you like SoundSeeder... :)

The transparent access to media files, no matter where they are located, is getting much easier with Android 4.4.. It includes the new storage access framework. I can't wait to get my hands on it... :)

If you are interessted: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/31/kitkat-feature-spotlight-new-storage-access-framework-makes-opening-files-a-more-consistent-and-attractive-experience/

I'll also have a look at the bubbleUpnp server, but I'm not very familiar with all the UPNP/DLNA stuff yet. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
I've now tested SoundSeeder with Google Music and it works really great!

An awesome feature!

But: Sometimes I receive a Playback error, saying "Can't play a side-loaded song remotely." from the Google Play Music App.

What is meant with a "side-loaded song"? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] ILCAMPIONE:
Hi jekatt ,

i'm one of your beta-tester.

I have an idea, but i don't remember if anyone said that before; anyway will be very usefull if soundSeeder can be share the audio of video player (the stock one, or other one). So when i watch a video my audio will be play from more "spot" that my smartphone or tablet .

Can you think that it will be possibile in the future? According to me it will be very great feature, and what do you think about?

Thanks for your work! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] wideasleep1:
This error occurs when you have a song on your SD card at the same time as the cloud.
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Yeah, thank you. I seem to get this error for all files located on my phone, it doesn't matter if they are in the cloud, too.

And it makes sense, as they can't be streamed. But "side-loaded" is not very self-explanatory...
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Yes I agree, it would be really cool, to play the audio of video files with multiple speakers too.

But to be able to synchronize the audio and video playback, i would have to implement the video playback in my own app.

Of course, this is possible, but would take a lot of time.

I've put it on the list. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ILCAMPIONE:
lol i didn't think to this option.

it will be more more cool, if you will do!!!

Or may be 2 different app (this will be better for you, and a little more expansive for us ;) )
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hehe, yes that sounds good.

I guess I should look for some developers to get all these great ideas implemented. :o

Or at least look for some support in designing the UI and Icons. Then I could concentrate my self on implementing...

Hey jekatt.

Thanks for this great update :good:

Google Music works great.

I've one little issue: Every now and then I have some very short interruptions in my speakers playback (HTC Desire with Android 2.3).

The music doesn't stop, but it sounds strange for a very short moment.

I don't think this is an issue of my WiFi, the signal strength is quite good.

Any idea?

[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
:D Yeah. Samsungs marketing budget is hard to beat by a small app...
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Is this issue related to the Google Music mode of SoundSeeder?

I already received similar descriptions by some users. It seems to be related to the Java garbage collection, which interrupts the playback on older android devices. We already managed it to reduce the effect, but it still happens on some devices from time to time. We will keep trying to remove it completely...
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:

Can anyone recommend a good and cheap Android device to be used as SoundSeeder Speaker?

I would like to connect the device to my soundsystem.

Do android devices differ in audio quality? I mean the quality of the line out port, not the internal speaker...
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Beginning with JB 4.1 some Android devices support Digital Audio via USB.

You should find some tutorials here at xda, of how to connect a DAC (digital to analog converter) via usb.
