[Encore Music] Arthur4ik:
Does it support USB DACs with full resolution like Neutron?

It would be nice implementing features from mpdroid or mopidy.

Streaming or remote control for Spotify to raspberry pi with Volumio, Runeaudio etc..

Spotify Connect reverse engineering?

Album sorting by Track Number.

I have tried your program. I like the design and functionality.

One small issue though, all of my music by album is not sorted by track number. I think this an essential feature.

Is this already a feature or perhaps a bug that it does not sort by track number?

Thank You.
[Encore Music] @joemcua:
Promising

This app is great and has huge potential and buggy most of the times.

First few minutes of using;

1. Spotify Plug-In stops working.

2. Audio stops when tinkering with the Sound Effects plug-ins.

3. Got atleast 5 'fcs' during usage.

4. Sound quality using the plug-ins are horrible (IMHO), is there anyway I could use the native sound effects on my Z3c atleast?

5. This is a little nitpicky but is it possible to have a fullscreen 'now playing' in the coming updates?:laugh:

I like this one with its potential. Sticking around for some update.

Good work.

:)

Great app !!

How about Box and dropbox suport ?
[Encore Music] ego42:
"Unfortunately, Encore has stopped" started popping up repeatedly as soon as I first ran the app after installation. It would stop when I quickly pressed the home button and return to launcher. After I cleared its cache and data and rebooted the same error message started popping up immediately after reboot even without running the app with no way to stop. I had to uninstall it (not too easy between all the error messages) to be able to use my phone again. Not good.

[Encore Music] daniel_loft:
Tried it for a few minutes. Sadly, even though it's a promising app, in the short time I managed to find WAY too many bugs to consider it a daily driver.

The most annoying was that when skipping tracks, there's a noticeable click sound.

I'll come back to this in a few weeks or months.

PS to the dev: You could take a look at the features of other notable players around.

When I go to offline mode it is still using data....... Does it only sync my google music library when opened, or in background as well? Also,for the now playing tab is that half screen view the only available view? No full screen now playing screen?
[Encore Music] jeekajoo:
I'm just wondering why this app is not getting more news about it.

I mean.. it is far more usable than the official spotify app, has a lot more features AND something important to me it is open-source.

[MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION] thanks a lot for this app!
[Encore Music] Entropy512:
Logcat?

Providing a logcat to the developer would likely be very useful. :)

I'm guessing plodey might want to work some of the kinks out... A lot of times you encounter weird issues once you deploy to a wide variety of devices that are not seen on any of the devices you personally own. I'm guessing this might be more of a "soft launch"?

BUT [MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION] created one the best music apps of all time!!

I really can't say how happy I am to see an app like this out and for it to be free and open sourced is just amazing! I don't know what the problem is with some people and their issues BUT I've had no issues and I've been using it since yesterday almost non-stop streaming via BT onto my car and in the house :)

Keep up the good work!!
[Encore Music] Reznorek:
Hi. Maybe I'm missing something, can someone tell me: is this app can somehow play offline/downloaded music from Google All Access? Thx.
[Encore Music] bilibug:
I want to like this app, but right now, I don't find it very stable. It constantly locks up or is unresponsive. More importantly, gapless playback does not work correctly. Sometimes there is a noticeable gap between songs when there shouldn't be, sometimes it truncates the transition between songs. All of the songs play correctly in PowerAmp. This is a deal breaker, as I listen to lots of gapless albums - club mixes or live shows. Only tried with locally stored files. Wasn't robust enough for me to spring for the gmusic plug in.

I think it has a lot of potential, but of course the major issues will need to be addressed before subtle features like the one I pointed out. I'll definitely revisit it in the future.
[Encore Music] CrashTestDroid:
I hope there's a happy ending to your story. Sounds good so far.
[Encore Music] AndroidenKalle:
Some of us don't have the Google play store. Is it possible that you offer this app in a F-Droid repo?

[Encore Music] uudruid74:
I'm using this with no plugins since I have limited bandwidth and don't stream music - I have enough space on my phone for everything. I don't need the DSP plugins since I use Viper (and I'm pretty convinced you wont beat Viper's sound quality or configurability).

To get it to play anything I had to wipe its data. It was DOA. It crashes regularly, but not 100% like before I wiped it. Driving mode looks usefull, but not working very smoothly. AutoMix doesn't seem to do anything. Its been refusing to play certain songs and it just now decided it would play it after having it paused for 10 mins. I don't know why it would just show a 'spinning' pause button and not play. Or why playing it works now and now before. Hmm... and now I cant play anything again, just a spinning circle.

A widget would be nice. I often just want to 'play anything'. Is there a way to make a 'virtual' playlist that just shuffles the whole library?

Will post logcats when I get a chance.

Have you ever seen how difficult it is to get something into Fdroid? I wanted to share a couple simple apps I wrote and the submission process is harder than writing the app! Just ask for the APK to be posted, or compile it yourself from GIT. Fdroid is insane.
[Encore Music] rogier666:
Some suggestions for improvement:

Bugs:

The app force-closes a lot, the "my music" screen often fails to show my (locally stored) music, and playback is not gapless. I guess that will change once all the bug reports come flooding in.

Custom colors and night mode:

Not everyone likes loud screaming red.

The interface is way to bright with all the white and light grey, especially at night. Low light conditions and battery-powered amoled screens don't agree with Google's material design guidelines.

Last.fm scrobbling?

User interface:

The "my songs" section is useless if you have lots of songs from many different artists and albums. It needs a genre tab and a folder tab. Of course the sort order of the tabs should be user-configurable.

All tabs in "my songs" should have a list view option (like the "all songs" tab) to show large music collections in the most space-efficient way possible, not as giant tiles.

Apps like PlayerPro let you choose the sort order of the songs in the library any way you like. Encore needs this option too.

Why can't I access the left-side menu from each and every screen in the app? And why can't I change the sort order of the entries in that menu?

Widgets? (of many different types and sizes, because user preferences vary wildly - maybe add a "design your own widget" plugin?)

Paid beta testing?!?

Nobody likes to pay to beta-test a plugin, especially when it crashes the entire app. This way the number of testers for the Google music plugin will stay really low, and after a crash and refund the chance of downloading it again are about zero. If you want to sell a plugin, iron out the bugs first.
[Encore Music] RushNY:
So is not being able to view any of my albums without using All songs/a playlist in offline mode an intended function?

I love this app solely because of the easy drive mode bt action but I also have horrible data speeds and streaming is a no go for me. If I can't use it like a normal music app in album or artist view without being online then I can't use it sadly.
[Encore Music] pec0ra:
I have one too and find it would be very interesting to have support for it. I will probably start making a plugin for it in a few week (I first have to see first how complicated it is).
[Encore Music] painscough:
That would great! I would be willing test it for you if you need.
[Encore Music] Fat_boy555:

[Encore Music] ChriZer:
I bought the Play Music plugin and I'm not able to use all access. It only shows the songs from my library and the local ones :/

[Encore Music] Xerco:
Looking forward to trying this out when I get home, any thoughts on Amazon Prime music? As the system works differently to Google Play (I think?) I like using their playlists when I dont have time to go through my music/too lazy :).
[Encore Music] DarkWolf747:
I'm also not seeing anything from Google play music. The automix also doesn't work even on a basic level. I either get an endless spinning circle, or an error saying that nothing could be found for the bucket (For example, even on my local storage I have a bunch of music from the 80's... creating an automix with just that caused the nothing found error). I really like the idea, but I just paid a dollar to beta test your plugin... not cool.

Also, for local stuff, could an option be added to pick which folders to grab music from? it's currently including all the sound files on my phone, which includes a folder full of ringtones, and other odd random files.
[Encore Music] Akoolive:
The culprit is Google play plugin. I sent an email with logcat!
[Encore Music] CrashTestDroid:
So far Encore is working well except for the constant crackling sounds like old vinyl record noises, low in volume and fairly regular. Playing Vorbis files from local storage. Thanks [MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION] for a slick app.
[Encore Music] greyhamism:
Is there any support for lossless audio ie FLAC, ALAC, APE?
[Encore Music] hasselol:
Looks promising so far especially since when connecting to car when having two or more music apps installed it never seems to use last played, this app solves that by having one app for music with instead of two+.

Some Suggestions:

The box in the bottom which shows current track, and which expands in to a 3 list que when pressing (the one below play/pause button) - This box should include the Now Playing UI aswell as those 3 ques. This saves the user from tapping 2 buttons to press next, toggle repeat, etc.

Ability to include/exclude folders on local storage as well as folder browser mode. - Since i don't want my ringtones to be in the list of songs this would be great.

When connecting to car and selecting play que and opening car mode, playing does not start automaticly - Either due to bug, to function not being there or due to play que empties itself when closing the app, which comes to next suggestion:

Play que should not reset when exiting the app, other music players do not do this, but instead saves the que and song position.

The auto grabbing of artist art seems to not work properly, because i've seen atleast 1 artist getting the wrong artist art (for artist, don't know for album) It seems it uses most relevant result rather than Exact artist name (The artist name for the correct and wrong one is slightly diffrent as one has "Artist name" where as other just has "Artist") Unless it's the service provider that is the faulty link here.

General bugfixes, but bugs are expected in such a new app of course.

Otherwise, excellent app!

EDIT: One more,

If possible, ability to add widgets to the car mode screen, lots of unused space there now that could be used. Maybe support by plugins?

[Encore Music] zhuoyang:
It will be great if you can improve the album art quality shown in lock screen.

Buttons in lock screen are also too cramped .

Also there's a lot mismatch of artist name , there should be an option to manually rematch artist.
[Encore Music] DorkyDev:
[MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION] What are the chances of getting Google Drive Cloud support too?

If this were available I'd see no need in another music app, as this would stream from Spotify, Locally or in my own personal Cloud.
[Encore Music] GR0S:
Ahh, I've been buiding similar app lately.

Do you want online streaming from VK included in your app?

I got it, but plugin API is messed up. Player should manage playback, not plugin. Plugin should only provide media and some meta data
[Encore Music] mrmidnight:
One thing I noticed that I would like, is for songs in my Spotify playlist that were synced from my PC (Songs not on Spotify, i.e. most Bob Seger songs) to be able to play, also when playing a Spotify playlist on shuffle, it not repeating songs

Thanks! And great app!
[Encore Music] XpLoDWilD:
When we get time to make new plugins, sure :)

We'd love to have a VK streaming plugin :)

Player manages playback, but doesn't manage decoding. Spotify for example returns PCM stream as their protocol is custom-made and the data is encrypted, thus we need to feed the main app with PCM audio. We followed the same scheme for regular streams, as using MediaCodec is fairly easy for decoding MP3/AAC/FLAC/....

Unfortunately the LibSpotify SDK doesn't work with user-uploaded songs. I hope their new SDK will allow that.

What do you mean by when on shuffle, it's not repeating songs? Shuffle should keep on playing random songs.
[Encore Music] XpLoDWilD:
As our usage is against YouTube ToS, we can't put the plug-in on the Play Store as Google would kick it out in mere minutes. We're looking at alternative stores to distribute it.

Good ideas in your post, thanks.

Could you elaborate a bit more on your Car widgets?
[Encore Music] Lifu':
Can't you put it in the OP here on XDA?

I would like to test it, can you send it to my mail or something?

That would be awesome.
[Encore Music] GR0S:
Is it okay to return null for methods which are not implemented?

VK only allows user to have playlists and I'm not sure how they gonna work with other music providers
[Encore Music] mrmidnight:
[MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION]

OK I understand on the SDK thing. What I am talking about shuffle, is if I skip a song it will go and remake the entire up coming playlist, so sometimes I hear the same song over and over again sometimes. i.e. I have about 3-4 hours of music in a workout playlist so that I can skip songs if I need to, in that playlist I have Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (don't judge, excellent for lifting), after I hear that song, if I skip the next one, "Born This Way" may end up playing again not long later.
[Encore Music] AssToast:
First of all, really amazing app and promising features even though bugs are present but it is expected for such a new app.

For me, changing tracks seem to take a long time and the transition isn't smooth, same goes to seeking in a track. A feature to select your music directory would be greatly appreciated. Currently Encore picks up my WhatsApp voice messages and some other audio clips I have received over WhatsApp.

Album arts are a little low quality, not sure if you can do anything about it. The identifying music feature is very nice, I really liked it, don't need another app for that any more. But its currently not very convenient to access it as you need to go through a couple of screens to get to the button. I would suggest maybe adding a button to the main screen? Just a small one that would start scanning and bring you to the recognition screen after completing.

Lastly, the equaliser plugins doesn't seem to work for me. I think that is mostly what I want to say about the app. Keep up the good work, hope to see this app flourish.

Sorry if its poorly composed, its was pretty laggy to type this out on my phone and I didn't want to retype sentences again.:p
[Encore Music] XpLoDWilD:
It's a plugin we'd like to put for $1 as well, so we won't be distributing it freely for now at least.

Yes, most methods allow null responses, especially getArtists/getAlbums/... if the provider can't return such list. I think it's mentioned in the AIDL javadoc if I remember correctly.

Got it, I'll add some logic for this later.

You can use the ".nomedia" trick to exclude folders from your media library.

What device are you using? On low-memory devices, album arts are lower quality to reduce the app's memory footprint. It could also just be one particular album art that was downloaded in low quality.

Have you tried the DSP Suite plug-in? Did you add it to your chain in Settings > Sound effects?
[Encore Music] AssToast:
Thanks for the reply, I know about the .nomedia trick but just wanted to mention it for the people who don't know about it or the ones who don't visit this thread.

I'm currently on the first generation Moto G, not all the album art are low quality, only a few, probably due the download like you mentioned, any way to download higher resolution pictures? Probably as an option in settings like in PowerAMP.

I'm using the DSPSuite Effects, I might give it another try later and see how it goes with some settings turned up to make it more prominent.

Edit: My songs disappeared all of a sudden, a reboot seem to fixed it. Regarding the WhatsApp problem, partly my fault, sorry about that, during restoring some files to my phone, the folder with WhatsApp audio got transferred to my music folder.
[Encore Music] Fat_boy555:
When playing music if I swipe the app out of the recent app it stops playing. Doesn't happen on other players. Is this a bug? Anyway I can help?
[Encore Music] aHcVolle:
thats exactly what i am looking for... Or just an ability to create a playlist from the whole library (it doesnt have to be 'virtual')

I only have music on my phone which i like so i dont want to have to create some kind of mood/style setting for each song ....

Great to see a new music app with a nice design but I have to say the Google Music plugin couldn't sync playlists so I have to refund it first.

Also, I want to know whether a 'download'-like feature for Google Play Music is available to ease my burden on mobile data
[Encore Music] XpLoDWilD:
We're currently looking at why playlists aren't synced for some people. Playlists can be offlined then.
[Encore Music] YogiBerra8:
Is it possible to stream music from play music through encore?
[Encore Music] mrmidnight:
[MENTION=6413034]YogiBerra8[/MENTION]

Yes it is, as a matter of fact that is what the last couple of posts were about, there is a $1 plug in for that feature
[Encore Music] aHcVolle:
yes you are right. But even if we would have to recreate the playlist every time we add some new song to the lib it would be better than what we have now ...

Its kind of unusable for me now, i'm not going to add every album to a playlist by hand ...
[Encore Music] YogiBerra8:
Really? I have bought the plugin and I can't get any music besides the stuff ive downloaded from Google Play Music. I cant find a way to stream, say, the top 50 radio playlist.
[Encore Music] zhuoyang:
There's problem with 24bit audio playback can someone confirm?
[Encore Music] mrmidnight:
[MENTION=6413034]YogiBerra8[/MENTION]

The plug in only allows you to play your music, doesn't say anything about playing from the generated playlists. I'm sure that is something the OP is looking into, especially since just to have a 3rd party player play Google Music is quite a feat

A couple of issues I am facing:

Applying Sleep timer then clicking on menu/Sleep Timer show static time remaining, (always seem to be 23 hour(s) and 31 minute(s) )

​

I applied a timer for 1 minute, but the popup shows wrong time remaining,

​

But playback stops after one minute, it seems that pop-up is not updated only

Embedded Cover Art not detected when displaying Album Art

​

Album Art cropped in full queue, it would be visually more appealing to have a smaller cover art on the side like in notification rather than chopping it in half

​

Somehow fitting i in , maybe as a background and centered, too. And, Waveform? (I have seen it done before a while back, but can not seem to find that particular player)

​

EDIT: Found it - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiboweb.android.niceplayer.beta

​

The interface was interesting but the developer stopped, and left it with a lot of bugs.

Encore crashes when you select: Playlists/Most played then click three dot menu and select add to another playlist

Some suggestions,

Preference to choose background colour and replace the red to something else, maybe using colour picker

ID3 tag editor, with Cover Art selector (from gallery) and ability to add Lyrics manually

Create playlist by selecting songs

Also, what does the Thumbs down do? (thumbs up adds to favourite to create favourit playlist, but thumbs down?)
