a few bugs

Akshay, firstly i must thank you for bringing us the most awesome light and competely free player! it is my default app for months. i even removed stock cm12 player. and i have some suggestions too

1) it's always been superior at downloading lyrics compared to others. And this feature was what made Jair important. So this brings up the question: why do we always need to press menu button and lyric section in order to see it on every time songs change. could you make a shortcut next to favourite.

2) since its UI is material, why not to design widgets, lock screen (covered with artist picture) and notification widget too

3)"Show artist name instead of album" button should also be applied in the main interface, not just songs list.

Other than, bugs are minor. I hope these will be in your To-Do;)

Regards

Wow, this is nice app with VERY fast, nice, smooth gui.

for some reason visualization crashes app in my case(4.2.2, tablet).
[Android Apps and Games] Housam:
I downloaded it and i am using it, man it's the best music player ever. Thank you so much:thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thank you so much :good:

Excellent question, the reason is sometimes users want or need to change the song data before Fetching the lyrics of a song, so directly fetching would give "No Lyrics Found!" making users feel, Jair couldn't find lyrics of the song. I've couple of ideas for this & I hope to it future updates.

Widgets will be soon Material, it's just taking time. While Notification has Simplicity & I did gave Material Touch to it. And the remaining is Lock-screen and here you need to elaborate me more.

Thank you for reporting, I seriously missed it & the upcoming update should solve it.

Thank you, I'll investigate the issue.

Wow :o

I'm soooo glad
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):

[Android Apps and Games] wdevil12:
Thank you soooo muchhhh for a answer and updateeee!!!

about lock screen i'm attaching scrreshot. first one is apollo (stock cm12 player) and 2nd is our lovely Jair.
[Android Apps and Games] h_onger:
Thank you soooo muchhhh :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] wdevil12:
Loving new Pure Dark theme.

Oh I forgot to say another important thing.

Pressing "back" button shows a " press again to exit" which is totally unnecessary. hope you will fix it too;)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks, what exactly you want to see in Jair ?

I'm soo glad :)

I feel that it's needed, because we usually tend to press back button & "Double press" prevents accidental back key press. Unfortunately I'm going to stick with "Double press" if you don't mind.
[Android Apps and Games] xo.en:
..well, i usually do not do this, but can i ask about, hm, incorporating external basslib, or anything that can play c64 sid's, atari xl sap's, or amiga formats(mod, xm)?
[Android Apps and Games] 5KKKKK:
awesome player!!:thumbup:

and I hope it will support .ape
[Android Apps and Games] fiz:ik:
Awesome! :)

But could you add support to AudioFX? :cowboy: :good:
[Android Apps and Games] amerkiller1995:
Hi,

I commented that the player should exit when pressing back in the default directory. Why would the user want to go back to root? When he sets the default directory in the settings, then he knows what he's doing. He can reset it back to root if he wants to. The point is that people store music typically in a single folder and wouldn't ever need to browse outside of it so auto exiting would be convenient. It's just a suggestion :)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Well I have no idea what your talking about. Except that they seem some music formats.

Give me some information, I'll learn this things & try adding into Jair.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks man.

Thanks, are saying about external equalizer?

The problem is after selecting default music directory & then taking away the ability to go back, would make it impossible to change the music directory ever & also remove the ability to go for other music directories.

I've got an idea for it though, let's make exit with long press of back key. So that why we could have both the features.
[Android Apps and Games] Shuya88:
really hope external equalizer can be supported
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I'll try to add support for it.
[Android Apps and Games] KingUsman:
When I'm on bbm and I play a song from play music it shoes on bbm what I'm playing but with this app it doesn't show anything?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks for feedback. Can you tell me what is bbm ? so that I can test on it.

Yeah grids too are coming.
[Android Apps and Games] KingUsman:
BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is a proprietary Internet-based instant messenger and videotelephony application, In bbm it shows what music you are playing when I'm playing music in most music apps but doesn't work with this music player.

.m4a files won't play

Great music player.

Will become my default player but .m4a files don't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Ohhkay, BTW I just noticed the issue that Jair is not show in the list of Music Players when clicked on any song & maybe that's the issue.

Cool :cool:

As per my knowledge, Jair supports .m4a format.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Jair Player v2.38 manages to improve performance & kill few historic bugs.

Recommended to clear cache, if wrong images are shown

v2.38

-Jair is shown in the List of Music Players

-Fixed hideous bug causing playing of wrong song after moving song in Queue

-Long pressing back key in Folders exits the app

-KitKat only: Now Playing color improved & are applied to Status

-Fixed lags related to Notification when playing next/previous song

-Performance improvements

-Added new colors

P.S : The update would take few hours to come on Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] xo.en:
I'd like you to know, that many of us have ZERO google apps in machine, thus googleplay as ONLY source of app is...an issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
You can use Raccoon to download apks from Play Store. Use a throw-away mail address from Google and there you go.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
That's no a problem. The APK is also available on the main page or first page of this thread. You can grab it from there. But if possible try to rate the app too, because it helps me.

Thanks man for this technique.
[Android Apps and Games] xo.en:
Yup, i am aware about possibilites, i.e.:

http://download.freeapk.ru/en.php

but thats not the point - google is taking every single way for controlling FREE software, thats the point.
[Android Apps and Games] ALooNeBoy87:
Turkish Localication

Turkish localication is done. But a string translated wrong wrong "Primary Color" must be "Birincil Renk". You can use this translation. Thanks. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Ah, okay. Good point :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks man.
[Android Apps and Games] wdevil12:
see attachment. Isnt it too much, Bro? (latest 2.38)
[Android Apps and Games] gicoypm:
Fine Thanks....
[Android Apps and Games] fatihsm:
I dont know if other users have the same problem too but for the seamless/gapless playback does not work. When I activate the feature in the options nothing changes.

I come from Rocket Player, which has this feature and it works perfect. But your player just looks better overall. I would love to see if you could manage to correct that. :)
[Android Apps and Games] marrecar:
I apologize if it was already asked, it's almost 2am here and I just want to ask before going to sleep. Does V4A work with Jair? I tried and it doesn't work, even though V4A is set to compatible mode and EQ in Jair is disabled. I really, really like this player and I find it very beautiful and clean, but V4A not working with it made me uninstall it. Is there any fix to it?
[Android Apps and Games] brute-coder:
UI

Nice UI !
[Android Apps and Games] Sami Kabir:
Good Work! :D

I've been using Jair Music Player for a while now, and I must say.. Its really good. Good work mate!

So far the only 2 issues I'm having are:

1. While playing music, the music controls doesn't always appear on lock screen. For majority of times I tested, it only comes once or twice. After that it only shows up after rebooting my phone (and the "cycle" continues this way)

2. In order to play music, I always have to open the app. It doesn't (always) start playing music when I press on the "Play/Pause" button on my earphones.. And also the widget starts working only after the app was opened. Otherwise, none of the buttons on the widget respond.

For example, if I press on the Play button it doesn't do anything.. It only becomes functional after I open the app and start playing a song.

Additional Info:

Its installed as a system app. I'm using a Galaxy S Advance running Android 4.1.2.
[Android Apps and Games] ANKIT RAWAT:
Nice App. Thanks

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
It is too much, but it rarely goes that much high.

Well I'm not a Music professional & that might be the reason I didn't catch that. I'll have a investigation over it & fix it soon.

I never tried V4A, honestly I'm hearing that term for the 1st time. Give me some more information about V4A. I'll try to fix it.

Thank you.

1. I too have started to face this issue recently. I'll be resolving it shortly.

2. For directly starting to play or pause from headphones before opening Jair, needs one more background service which in turn should increase the battery consumption. That's why this feature is not in Jair.

As for widgets, they are in my To-do list, I hope to fix them very soon.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] marrecar:
V4A, aka Viper4Android is a sound driver for android devices. I think. The deal is that it replaces stock android driver and gives you ability to enhance the audio output. It can be considered as a Equalizer, but it's far better than that. You can find more infi about it on official site or xda thread, ViPer4Android
[Android Apps and Games] ANKIT RAWAT:
Check my PM :)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks, I'll have my look into it.

Got it!
[Android Apps and Games] wdevil12:
can you add an option to show artist picture instead of album picture.
[Android Apps and Games] Moribus:
Well, this is best music player i ever used on android, simple, fast, just keep it updated.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks man, I'm working hard to make it better & better.
[Android Apps and Games] funnybaba:

I am new here, but i got some mail on my about this, how do i go about it?
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):

[Android Apps and Games] funnybaba:

I have developed strong love love for this site
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):

[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Yeah, update will be coming soon.

Could you kindly remove that picture from the left panel. It is kindda questionable. Why is that in there.. what does it really mean to the app.. was it needed.. just makes us to scroll down..
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
That's part of material design everyone loves so much. I despise everything that has to do with material design. Tinting images, fab buttons, and those horrible header pics everywhere. Can't wait for material design to disappear, it is just awful.

[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Yeah it's all part of Material Design, I too don't like few things about Material Design but most of things are beautiful
[Android Apps and Games] darkjedi:
Sounds like you need an iPhone.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Why? Because I dislike material design? I have an iPhone and lollipop is an almost exact copy of ios 7. Lollipop and material design is the worst build of Android I have seen. And I don't understand when someone disagrees with the majority of Android users, the 1st response is something about iPhones and Apple? Truthfully I have always been an android user, and I would give up all my devices to keep my iPhone. Android is habitually 2 steps back of Apple.

everything went good until I saw the widget... Sorry, your app is pretty cool looking, but this Android 4.0ish widget... I can't stand it. But I'll leave a 4 stars review on the Play Store for the amazing work you did here. Make us a Material light and dark themed widgets and you're the best ! Also can't change the cover on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact with stock Sony 5.0.2 firmware. It keeps putting the old one. Even deleting does nothing. Any idea ?
[Android Apps and Games] wdevil12:
We talked about those widgets a long time ago.. but no one can force him.. just wait

Material Design is the best thing to happen to Android. iOS is boring. Granted, you're entitled to your opinion, but based on that screenshot you may like Android 2.3 the best. *shrug*
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Honestly widgets are my weak point, yet I'm trying to work on them. It's just taking time nothing else
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I'm no developer but since you already have 4 widget choices, can't you make 4 more that are inverted from what you have now? Just have a 2nd app widget png that is white instead of black and have the text colors call for black instead of white. Just a suggestion as I don't know how much other detail is needed. Not sure if using a call to colors instead of a png would be easier....

PS : As usual it's going to take couple of hours for update to come on Play Store while the first page of this thread has APK for eager users.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Bug: when selecting some brighter primary colors, some of the actionbar's strings/elements don't get tinted correctly (see screenshot).

Those should be white instead of black.
[Android Apps and Games] darkjedi:
I wish you could add circular buttons to the play controls. Square buttons just don't really vibe. That's my only "complaint", which isn't really a complaint. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do with them.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Heck yeah, new update.

v2.47

-Visual improvements to Lyrics Fetch Dialog

-Improvement to Now Playing

-Killed more incoming bugs!
[Android Apps and Games] Alanon:
[MENTION=4732074]Akshay (Aky)[/MENTION]: I have just discovered this app, and I must say, it is very nice! It has a lot of cool features and a natural looking interface. Could you implement a better album art option? Like reading embedded album art from tags and not Android's Media Storage thumbnails? For me those thumbnails are of a very low quality, it spoils the beautiful interface. :(
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Really needs transparent status/notification bar.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I'm working on creating an option for selecting from where to load the artwork, but I'm difficulties in but meanwhile I could like to tell you that Jair shows embedded artwork in Now Playing if it doens't find artwork in Media Store, this is handy sometimes ;)

The current colored notification bar seems cool & many users like it as compared to transparent. Moreover it is programmatically difficult to achieve transparent notification bar in Now Playing & colored status bar in normal UI.

I hope you don't mind.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Colorful update to Jair Player

Finally the Colorful Albums & more Materialistic Feel with some usability improvements

This one rocks! Love the interface, the simplicity of the app. Sound output is superb too! I replaced my default music player with this one keep it up!

Crash Problem

Hi, I really like this app, so ( even if I followed XDA forums for months ) I decided to subscribe in order to report a crash of your application!

When I press the menu (physical) button it crashed(screen) :

[IMG="Crash screenshot"]https://i.imgur.com/s4un4Xk.jpg[/IMG]

Is there anything that I could do or I just have to wait the next update?

Info :

Smartphone : LG Optimus L9 P760

Android : 4.1.2

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thank you so much. I'm so happy :)

I'm sorry, I didn't catch what you meant to say

Thank you for your feedback. I'll check that issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Unfortunately you need to wait till next update or if previous version was working you can switch back to old. Sorry

With lan I was referring to smb or relate local lan shares.

Currently such feature is not present in Jair but it can be, I'm quite sure though

Hi Aky,

Great player indeed and with great potential!

I am wondering is it in plannes to apply volume slide such in MXplayer?

It is great feature i think :)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Yeah I have did it. And I'm pretty sure it will be coming in upcoming update.

I have fixed, you'll be getting fix in the upcoming update.

Thanks :good:

Thank you so much. Can you elaborate the feature you want ?
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thank you. It's my pleasure
[Android Apps and Games] friendfriend:
Sliding up with finger on play screen for volume up, and sliding down on play screen for volume down.

You can check it in MX Player or SuperTube player, it is great feature indeed. A lot of developers dont realise this as important but they are very wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I can understand this feature. And no doubt that it seems cool but if I add swipe up/down to volume up or down that would prevent swipe down on album art to minimise the now playing.

I hope you get what I mean
[Android Apps and Games] friendfriend:
Yes, ofcourse, i get it.

Hmmm... Maybe you can allocate just one small vertical part of screen for volume slide? On the far right side of screen i assume it is ok with most users.

For example, MXPlayer has right half (of screen) for volume and left half for brightness slide.

Bug report :

1. Creating a playlist with non-English (Hebrew) characters crashes Jair. After starting it again, the playlist exists.

2. Adding a song to this playlist crashes Jair. Song also has non-English (Hebrew) characters. After starting it again, the song is not in the playlist.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Well okay, this feature seems to be good. I'll add to my To-do list for now. Let's see where it goes.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh, thanks for the bug report. I actually never tried with other languages. I'll fix it soon. Sorry for the inconvience caused.

[Android Apps and Games] Freddy1X:
Really nice man.. A complete package for me, except for one thing.. I'm sticking with Neutron/Sony Music player not because they have better UI.. No their not.. But simply because the players were created for audiophiles, like me.. Here is what I am going to suggest.. I hope that you can try Neutron player, and later implement its features that the users loved the most, like 32/64-bit audio processing, high quality real-time resampling, normalization, a lot of DSPs, and more.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thank you so much.

Thanks for the feedback. I get that Jair do lags for audio lovers.

And since beginning of Jair, it was already in my mind to also focus on audio experts. Currently as Jair is up to the expectations of normal users, I'll soon start with adding those DSP features.
