Bug: Song timer at minute marks show incorrect time

Hi I'm currently using the pro version of this app (Pulsar+) and noticed a strange bug recently. While listening to The Clash I noticed the song "White Riot", which is exactly 2 minutes long, was listed as being only 1 minute long. When I played the song, the timer flashed 00:00 at the 01:00 mark before reverting back to normal.

I don't usually have the song banner pulled up when listening to songs so I never noticed it before. I tested out other songs in my library and it showed the same thing (00:00 at the 01:00 mark, 01:00 at the 02:00 mark, etc.)

Here are links to screenshots I've taken (this is one of my first posts so it won't let me post a thumbnail apparently):

Also I want to add that while I absolutely love this app, I have a few suggestions for the general appearance of the music library. I'd really like to have an alphabet scroller on the side (similar to the Samsung Music Player app) to quickly navigate the artists and albums in my huge library. It would also be nice to have the track number next to each song in an album, as well as the designation "Disc 1", "Disc 2", etc. for albums with multiple CDs (again, similar to the Samsung player). And for the album description, I would much rather prefer [Album Name - Release Year - Total Album Time] instead of the current [Album Name - Artist - # of Songs].

Hello,

Is there a way to obtain a tutorial on how create my own theme for the app?

I'm on Pulsar+ latest PS version and I'm not capable to locate the convenient option...
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Choose a theme in settings, then you will see an option to customize that theme. You can alter existing themes not create your own.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Quick bug report:

When editing the tags I get an error message on saving whenever the "Track" box is empty.

Message: bki: Value is not a number as required.

Keep up the superb development, happy pro user here.

Suggestion:

Please add a color for the now playing song in the list. Now only the pause button on the left shows which song is playing in the list. Just make it stand out from the other songs in the list with a colourfull bar which moves as the song plays thus also showing how far the song has played.

PS: TY for the awsome music player!!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Could you install the latest version 1.7.1, to see if this problem is fixed or not on your device? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] RDMCz:
This player is really good. But I am having problems with OCTET .m4a files. It loads them with tags, time etc. but with no sound.
[Android Apps and Games] iR3kT:
I'm not sure if this is the place to report a bug but the notification player now automatically disappears when I pause a song. This has recently happened after the latest update and Memory Optimization is off and Whitelisted in Greenify.

I am on a OnePlus 5T by the way.

Thanks for looking into the problem Dev!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
How did you pause the playback? How to reproduce this problem step by step? I want to reproduce this problem on my testing device.

You can also send it to support@rhmsoft.com, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Does this happen on every artwork image, or only specified image? Could you send me the music file in your snapshot for me to have a test? Please send to support@rhmsoft.com, thanks!

A small bug:

I have a band called "Ñu"

The songs are displayed in the songs tab and the albums are displayed into the albums tab but the band isn't listed into the artists tab....
[Android Apps and Games] iR3kT:
Well I had a song playing and I paused from the Swipe Down notification menu and it would disappear automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] lawrenceh:
Same issue as others here every 2/3 track changes on Galaxy S7 with 7.0. Other devices (Xiaomi Redmi 3S and Nvidia Shield Tablet) on Marshmallow 6.0 work fine (same app version and wi-fi).

If the phone isn't touched/woken then playback will resume after 2-3 minutes of silence. If the phone is woken the app seems confused and non-responsive for a while, pressing play/pause or skipping to the next track will eventually restart playback.

Testing just now the app froze 9 seconds before the end of the last track. If there was an option to enable logging I can easily recreate and send.

Other apps (Hi-Fi Cast, PlayerPro) don't suffer this problem at all, with no tweaks to OS settings required.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
If you keep the screen on(set screen timeout to 30min for testing), will this problem happen?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This bug will be fixed in next release, soon.
[Android Apps and Games] lawrenceh:
Can't recreate it with the screen on, even if Pulsar is in the background. Wi-Fi is set to always on during sleep though. Distance between phone and router/Chromecast is 3 meters in same room.

App has the same permissions and battery optimisation settings as Hi-Fi Cast which is fine. Pulsar casts fine on 2 other Marshmallow devices (+1 on KitKat) in same setup.
[Android Apps and Games] iR3kT:
thanks. the latest update fixed the notification problem
[Android Apps and Games] mindenfrak:
It happens with every artwork image and every song..

In another music players this problem is not present

Sorry i think it will do a second post...

Tile was: bug scan library ghost folder

Hi,

When i rescan the library the folders with no more songs are not cleared. It means i got some songs in a folder then move all the files to another folder letting the first one empty i would expect when rescanning that the first folder that is now empty will desappear from the library it is not the case.

Thanks in advance for your time fixing this

Only thing I wish it had a Crossfade option between ending and next track and also on zap with manual Crossfade time

Would it be possible to integrate this in future ?

Disappearing Album Art

ZTE Axon 7 mini

Android 6.0.1

Pulsar Pro 1.7.2

Several people have reported disappearing album art.

I experienced this problem when I powered off phone, removed SD card, reinserted SD card and powered up phone (all album art was gone).

I closed Pulsar, opened stock music app (album art was there), closed stock music app, opened Pulsar and album art was back.

This doesn't fix the bug, but it is a workaround.

Limitation of android media scan. Pulsar may take a bit longer to scan than system music app as system apps take priority over data apps...

Wish List

I really like this app, particularly the simple ability to sort artist's songs into album order so you can listen chronologically. Chromecast is very nice as well. If it could also connect to Airplay or DLNA devices, that'd be super. I know a few others have mentioned it so I just wanted to add my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] SFCurley:
Folders exclusion doesn't work if you try to exclude from within Settings, but it DOES work if you go to the folder list and long press on the folder name, and then select the Exclude Folder option from the pop up menu. The Settings Page exclude looks like a bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Dan33185:
Bump
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This sounds promising. I will consider to add an option to switch between these two modes in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thanks for reporting this problem to me. This is a bug of my app. I have published an urgent fix for this problem. Now if you upgrade to latest version from Google Play, this problem should not happen.
[Android Apps and Games] Dan33185:
Thanks for the response, and for considering it!
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
I noticed when casting to the CC the artist name is wrong. The title is correct.
[Android Apps and Games] skaveelicious:
Really nice work made me switch from Poweramp ;) Only issue I'm having is the equalizer not working. I can live without for now but would be nice to have. Don't know if it's an Android O specific bug
[Android Apps and Games] kingbenzima:
Been using this app for about a week now and I'm liking pulsar a lot, what it needs now is some slight UI tweaks to make it perfect for me.

For example the now playing view is a bit cluttered, when playing your songs, the UI controls get in the way of the cover art, my advice is you could bring the playlist button down and give us a way to disable the favourite, share and hamburger menu or better yet you could make it autohide automatically and then if you want to get it to appear you could tap once on the cover art or swipe on either the cover or the edge to make it appear. This makes it appear much cleaner IMO :)

Also a way to add music folders would be nice, I have two folders called "ADM" one is on my phone other is on my sdcard and for some reason Pulsar only shows the one on the SDcard and not the one in internal storage so I'm not able to add those song's to my library (could this be a bug?:confused: )
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Which device are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] skaveelicious:
OnePlus 3t, also I did not find anything strange in the logcat.

Edit: it's related to the stock equalizer, as I'm running lineage os 15.1 which ships with AudioFx. Solution is to disable the lineagos AudioFx package. Turning AudioFx off alone is not enough.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It is strange that I am also using OnePlus 3t with OxygenOS 5.0.1, my equalizer works. Are you using third party roms?
[Android Apps and Games] shaul20:
The application is ignoring the "the" in song names and sorting them based on the first letter of the second word.

There should at least be an option to turn it off. This destroys the alphabetical order.
[Android Apps and Games] Rico.Edg:
I really like the player, had it over a year already however there's 2 thing I have some issues with.

1 - it doesn't find album areas it should

2 - I can't listen to music while on a call
[Android Apps and Games] Kanageshwaran:
Best music player ever

But I'm looking for the specific option to play the audio in

2×playback speed.....

Which will be useful for to hear audio podcasts at less time.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Playback speed is not supported yet. I will consider this in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Search using Korean keywords should works now. Please upgrade to latest version 1.7.3 and have a try!
[Android Apps and Games] LiteBlu:
I had some suggestions for Android Auto updates.

There is no all songs button, a shuffle songs button, or a repeat button.

It's not super urgent because you can make a playlist and that shuffles songs, but it'd be a nice feature to add.

[Feature Request] Song rating system

[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

I'm reporting again...

Not answer to my previous post...

Why are the mp3 tags not consistent?
[Android Apps and Games] HeyMrRager:
I was wondering if there is a way of having both artists (from a collab album, for example 'Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho' by Travis Scott & Quavo) show up under both artists name in Pulsar Music Player (or any local music player for that matter).

Currently what the app will do is create an entirely new artist titled "Travis Scott & Quavo" (I've linked a screenshot below) instead of the album being logged under the respective artists. Does anyone know of a way to possibly edit the tags of the mp3 to have the album list under both? I've tried separating the artists with a semi colon but bit doesn't seem to work unfortunately.

Thanks for any help!

Playlist and / or queue sorting

Hi there. Great app.

Enhancement request: would it be possible to add the ability to sort songs in a playlist? This world be very helpful for playlist management. Alternatively, if we could sort the queued songs, we could save those in that order to a playlist, which would get the same thing.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Aynekko:
Why did you change the order of artist which use A or The as the starting word? Now they are all in some weird order which I really dislike and that's why I stayedcon your player in the first place. Please make an option to disable such sorting.

Also please consider an option to disable sliding-up panel. I want it to stay and don't move any time I scroll.

Thank you!

Player keeps shutting down randomly while playing music.

Hi I've been using pulsar music player for over a year and. It is my favorite player of all. Sadly the past two months it keeps shutting down while I am playing music. I first thought it was a problem with mobile settings and contacted my mobile maker to troubleshoot. They suggested I turn off all power saving toggles in the app and restart my phone. I did that and then when I listened to music, it again stopped playing and the app closed down after only a few minutes of playing.

Please tell me how to fix this.

Thanknyou for that great app.

Question: there is an option to EXCLUDE folders from scan. It would be easier if you could set a folder as library. Guess most of the people do have there music in one folder. What do you think about it?

Make sleep countdown more discrete

Hi,

Using Pulsar+ 1.7.4 on Android 7.12. Thank you for adding a count down display for the sleep timer. Can you please make it better:

1. When setting the sleep timer, the play screen look as normal (we don't know if the sleep timer is on or not). Need to go back to setting, tep on Sleep timer again, and this time the count down timer is displayed. In my opinion, the count down display should display immediately as soon as the user set the timer. It just common sense, this is the clue to indicate that the time is on.

2. The count down timer is too big. There is no need for it to take half of the screen. You can display it on a small area in a corner. You can see an example in Voice Audiobook Player or Listen Audiobook Player

Hope to see these improvements in next version.

Hey... Been using the player for quite some time.. kudos.. but im here to report an issue that the mechanism to display album art is very buggy. It frequently displays wrong one for the song and if i go back and play the song again, it displays the right one
[Android Apps and Games] SFCurley:
Bluetooth Disconnect

I periodically have a bluetooth disconnect when using Pulsar, which of course, I would normally chalk up to the non-uncommon android-bluetooth connect issues. However, the thing that makes me think this particular issue is Pulsar-specific is that it always--always--seems to happen between songs and often after the first song in the queue has played, and before the second one starts.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] takhama:
Very nice player,

It would be great to have an "include mode" for scanning and not only exclude.

I have différent directories containing music and I'd Like to add only one in this player.

Second thing seems to be a bug: When There is no album in the tags, Pulsar takes the musical style and set it as album name... It is quite annoying and should at least be switch-off un the settings.

More or that this kind or "album" is not well managed: there are several albums and not just one. i have tracks without album and with "Acid Jazz" style, and in the album list I have many "Acid Jazz" albums.

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
You requirement scenarios are very professional. I am sorry that most of them may not be able to support in near future.

ID3 tag editing and change playback speed may be supported in future releases.

Put the jpg file under each folder should work for album cover. But there is an Android bug tracking this problem, you may rename the cover file name to make it work. Here is the story: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62131
[Android Apps and Games] Gazorbeam:
Thank you very much for your quick answer, even though it does not satisfy me.

I can understand that searching for comment contend of ID3 tags is a curious request.

I would be satisfied if the comments were shown in an albums track listings. Maybe this is worth a 2nd thought.

In the track listing of an album I get:

Artist, Track-Name, Album-Name.

Where "Album-Name" is the same for every single track. So it does not give any additional information.

Wouldn't it be possible to show the comment instead?

This would really help a lot.

On my windows pc I used WinAmp for that purpose. In WinAmp I could define exactly what is shown in the listing.

I am sorry for bothering you again.

Best regards,

Gazorbeam
[Android Apps and Games] Romagnolo1973:
album art are not recognized, if your song use is own album art cover pulse only use a random cover it find on the same album. Example: Various Artist album every song with is proper cover, Pulsar only show the first cover it match from the album, and use it for every song inside it. Probably beacause Android MediaStore in bugged and it use only the first artwork it encounter on the folder thinking is an entire album of the same artist. It's ironic listen a Gun's&Roses song and see Adele face in the lockscreeen :).

Can you add an option to force use the embedded artwork in settings? Would be nice and others players cand do it without issue because they force the embedded artwork instead of Android media database .

Is a great player, easy, light and with nice look and it works perfectly with Viper4Android even if sometimes I need to reopen Viper to get it working.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I think this error may be related to MediaStore. I will consider to add a setting to avoid MediaStore cover in future releases.
