yes is realted to MediaStore for sure, it tend to see only the first album art in the same folder, probably because this way is more battery friendly when scanning.

I am happy to announce that the new 1.2.1 version is released today! It has two main improvements:

1. It added the support to Chromecast. If you have a Chromecast, connect to it and have a try! If there is any problem or suggestion, please let me know.

2. It fixed an equalizer bug in pro version. Any user who has the problem that the equalizer will stop working after song change, this version should fix it.

Widget album art problem

Hey, first of alI must say this is an awesome player. Finally, a player with good material and minimalist UI and Chromecast support. There's one slight problem though. Though the album art displays correctly in the player, on the widget, it displays for some tracks and doesn't display for others. Seems totally random, and annoying. Any ideas why is that? Image file extension issues? Again, it displays correctly in the player; the problem occurs only with the widget.

For now I can say "play some music with Pulsar", but I would prefer to make it shorter.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Which kind of bluetooth device are you using? I would like to reproduce this problem in my testing environment.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It may displays the album image embedded in the song file instead of the one registered in Android system.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Currently Pulsar is using Android system media database to manage these information. These "bugs" are from there.

Pulsar will exclude the unwanted media files from the database, but will not set the include folder currently.

[Android Apps and Games] Cartoonhead1978:
I love this player on my phone but I am having problems in car (Android 4.1), I use a portable HDD 80GB

1. the app starts scanning which takes forever, and usually stops halfway through scanning and then all it has scanned has dissapeared and it wont scan again or occasionally starts again, If i have started a song the song will continue to play even tho it sees it no more

2. on my harddrive i have all artists starting with A in a folder marked A, so the filesystem on my drive is A,B,C, D etc, because it takes to long to scan all of the contained files (10,000+) I exclude all but the letter I want to listen to (each letter has appoximately 1000 tracks, but, when I choose to exclude all letters appart from folder 'A' it will not scan the one folder (you see the progress scan stop on that folder for longer but It shows no results!)

3. I would like to see the year of the track on the track info display.

I really like this and its a shame that this cant scann quicker, or scan once and remember all of the contents until next manual scan so files can be accessed imediately.

Compared to the built in player of the car which scans and lists all 10,000 songs and will play any chosen in under 10 seconds, this app seems to only scan 6 files a second when it wants to scan that is!!!

I saw a mail sent to support@rhmsoft.com including a bug report file from zenfone2. Is that you?

I did not find any useful information in that bug report, but I found that you are using 3rd party rom, this maybe the cause of the problem.

What do you mean by crash? There are two kinds of crashes, one is error, the other is freeze and no response, which is your crash?

How many songs do you have? It may take too long to refresh the content.

I used this music player around 2-3 days

And I don't know what happened it's taking long time to start and sometimes it slows down everything

I think custom rom is not a problem because it was working fine I really like this music player

So I don't know what's the problem but I will be very thankful if someone figures out what's the problem

I really want to to use this music player

I can send you full log again

You can also enable playlists tab from settings page, then from the tab there is a playlist named recent added.

With me, Pulsar is the best music player in Android because of its UI and features.

But one feature I like to add to the soft is Volume adjustment sliding in the Player because my volume buttons isn't good. Hope it will be added in future update :D
[Android Apps and Games] Romagnolo1973:
@ rhmsoft: thanks for crossfade ( in free version too). I notice an issue with this new feature, I have set it to 4 second and at the beginning of the new song between second 2 and 4° I can ear a fade out, volume goes down than rapidly return to normal. So I try to put crossfade set 10 second and is the same, new song start but when is at 8° untill 10° second I can hear a volume decrease, than It goes to normal volume after 10° second of the song, same if I set it to 15 seconds. It seems that there is something wrong if crossfade is set more than 2 seconds. I use Cm 14.1 with Audio FX as EQ.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thanks for reporting this issue to me. Could you have a look:

If you change crossfade to 15 seconds, when current playing song reaches the last 15 seconds, will it switch to next song? Or it just switch song at last 2 seconds?
[Android Apps and Games] Romagnolo1973:
The way Pulsar goes in crossfade is ok, If set at 15 seconds correctly the trasiction between the 2 songs start at last 15 second (and now playng page show the new song starting), the issue is the way Pulsar set the volume during this transiction. It seems to me that when start the corssfade mix between the 2 songs there is something wrong in volume set.

Example Song 1 and Song 2 corssfade set at 15 seconds: during the transiction Song 1 has 2 seconds with volume down than it goes volume up faster and start decrease until vanishing at second 15 of the new song. Meanwhile Song 2 starts sounding ok (its volume level is almost zero at the beginning) increasing its volume in the right way till reach second 8 but between 8 and 15 seconds of playng its volume goes decreasing till zero or almost zero then un just a second (between second 14 an 15) it goes to normal volume. All this goes up and down is not pleasant for the ears, seams a rollercoastering. But IMHO is only a matter of volume levels, must be more smooth: Song 1 must decrease sweet and song 2 start increasing sweet.

Hope you understand my poor english and what is the matter.

New user

I purchased the pro version last week & have some issues /requests:

1) I'd like to navigate to album covers in my local files / music directory to assign the artwork. I don't see the files in my galleries, and really don't want them there

2) related, I'd like to be able to exclude the music directory from gallery scanning, i.e. put a ".nomedia" file in the music root to keep it from popping up in my gallery. This works great for my ebook library (I have thousands of book covers I don't want 5o swap my gallery), but seems to interfere with pulsar+.

3) I get an error whenever I internet search for an album cover "operation failed. Description - Java.lang.illeagalargumentexception: album could not be found"

4) it would be a huge help if you could Google search for a cover & then assign it. I get that this is somehow excluded, but I use Moon+ Reader, and it lets you assign book covers via Google search, not sure why this is different.

5) I tried loading some compilation albums and soundtracks, and found I had 100's of one song artists. And the albums were all assigned to the artist of the first track. It would be nice to have compilations and soundtracks assignable to "various", and leave the artists on the compilation cd's out of the album-	artist folder. It seems that when I assign the album to "various" it rewrites all the Metadata for all the tracks.

6) my favorite feature is chromecast. It seems I can't adjust the audio over chromecast with the equalizer. This would be a nice feature

7) I'd like to choose my music directory, rather than having to exclude everything BUT my music directory

8) no problem here with the library on my external SD card.

Thanks,

Joe

[Android Apps and Games] coolhof:
Thanks for the player.
[Android Apps and Games] Bharat.91:
There are always songs which have multiple artists, and similarly one song can have elements of multiple genre. So please add support for multiple artist/genre in tags. Something like multiple tags by separating the tags by a semicolon.

It says it's found 4 albums by Unknown Artists(s) but they have 0 songs in them :confused:

These albums actually all do have songs in them, and they do show up under their respective artists.

Might be I've tagged it wrong, but I can't understand how I'd fix it. :silly:

There is volume control button in equalizer page, toolbar. But yes, it is harder to reach.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Pulsar will adjust volume every 100ms, which is 0.1 second. So there should be no smooth problem.

I guess that this may caused by my app bug, or your third party rom. I need more users' feedback to see if it is an app bug. If possible, could you try crossfade on other devices.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Are they under the same album? How do you know that you can not have two same named song?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Hi, Joe,

Artwork files:

I will add ".nomedia" under the folder.

operation failed. Description - Java.lang.illeagalargumentexception: album could not be found

This is because that the album with the name and artist name, does not find any matched result.

Google search for a cover & then assign it

This need Google API integration, and Google Search API is a paid service, and it is expensive relatively.

Chromecast

Chromecast does not support equalizer.
[Android Apps and Games] drjoe1:
Thanks for the reply. Allowing ". Nomedia" would be great.

I've been playing some more with Pulsar and have some additional observations:

1) I changed out my external SD card upgrading from 128gb to 400gb so I could fit my music library on the tablet - triggered in large part by how well Pulsar works. So I had to go into the folder exclusions and delete all the exclusions on the old card and add all the same directories on the new card. Much easier to be able to say "look for music here" than to have to exclude everywhere it isn't.

2) I've been updating the album and artist images. In many cases, the artwork is already in the album subdirectory (I'm ordered by folders Music/Artist/Album/Song - or for multi Disc albums, Music/Artist/Album/Disc/Song), but it doesn't always catch the jpg in Pulsar. I don' t know if this is due to the image having an unexpected file name or what. It is almost unworkable to find them in the gallery because there are so many images associated with my music library. This would all be easier if I could "select from local files" and navigate to the specific album subdirectory to assign the image.

3) For some albums, while casting, if I click on the first track, it jumps to the second track. It does this three or four times before I can get it to actually start at track one. Very confusing.

Thanks again, I appreciate your attention,

Joe
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Hi, Joe,

Please rescan the media files after switching SD card. Normally you can reboot your device, Android system will automatically rescan media files on your new SD card, also remove non-exist file records.

The song will automatically go to next if there is any error when playing current song.

bandcamp mp3s not playing in pulsar+

I'm trying to play a couple mp3 albums I got from Bandcamp in Pulsar+ and getting the following error:

I've tried downloading as V0 and 320 mp3s, and I'm getting this error on both formats. I've verified that I can play the files in Google Play Music, so the files aren't corrupt and Android apparently knows what to do with them.

Wow ! good looking music player!
[Android Apps and Games] 000001a:
does it have linear (sub)folder play?
[Android Apps and Games] xbmstudio:
Now this is a best music player for me. Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
What do you mean by linear folder play?
[Android Apps and Games] 000001a:
i have a folder:

\sd1\music\puplic\1.pop\artist\amusic.mp3

\sd1\music\puplic\1.pop\artist\bmusic.mp3

\sd1\music\puplic\1.pop\amusic.mp3

\sd1\music\puplic\2.rock\artist\blubb\amusic.mp3

\sd1\music\puplic\2.rock\artist\bmusic.mp3

\sd1\music\puplic\2.rock\amusic.mp3

\sd1\music\private\...

...

i say play \sd1\puplic\*

your app should not try to recognize and present the folders individually.

just start --> stop playing like a very oldschool mp3 player.

i also randomly delete folders and files, just fast skip, if file/folder not found.

or insert some at random.

finding new files should work like a file manager.

don't waste time to index all files.

("windows explorer" does not index all subdirectories when opening C:\Windows.)

and should a file really not be found, just add a "refresh" button/function.

working apps i had used before:

- Meridian (outdated)

- Music Folder Player (bad logic switching root music directory, full screen ad >.<)
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I just checked my project, the artworks which Pulsar downloaded/assigned are the files without extensions, for instance, "151268572162". It should not appear in any Gallery apps.

For the existing artwork files which already under your music folders, I do not suggest to add ".nomedia" file since if you do that, android will not discover the music, either.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Understood. Thanks for explanation. I will consider this in future releases if it is a common requirement.

You probably know the song "Lean On"

In the tags, I've marked it like this :
