There are many bug reports regarding to search feature, most of them are related to native language encoding problems.

But your problem seems to be another story. I saw that all the text are in English.

Currently the search feature will return songs whose title contains keyword, albums whose name contains keyword and artists whose name contains keyword, it will not return results with songs whose artist name contains keyword. You can firstly find the artist, then you can find albums and songs belong to him/her after the search.

But in your snapshot when you search the artist, the artist is not in the search result. So could you have a check if the artist named "Madcon" exist in your Pulsar artists panel(not in search, in main panel)?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thanks for your feedback. I will consider this in future releases if it is a common requirement.

Currently I do not want to add as many features as user requested because the feature may not be useful to most users, and if I add too many switches in settings page, then it will make the app complex to use. Thanks for understanding.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
If the playlist problem still exists, please let me know. I payed lots effort to maintain playlists by Pulsar, if it did not fix the problem then the effort is useless:eek:

The songs in excluded folders, did you add them to playlists? How do you find and play them?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I think it is reasonable to have a default folder in your scenario. I will consider this in future releases. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Fahd Owdli:
An answer to your question the artist named "Madcon" is not exist on the artists list

Do I understand from this that the search feature results is limited only to what in Pulsar artists panel?

Because there are already random songs do not belong to any artist it needs to edit tags as a solution to my problem, but that will take a lot of time

I have two audio player applications in my device

One is the default app from Samsung, the other is your app, Not to mention that I downloaded several applications before and did not encounter this problem

Another thing I would mention, this app is one of the best apps for audio player

There are some features I have not found in any other app except Pulsar+

Thanks for responding

1. At the moment the songs on the playlist took a few days and have not been lost.

2. I played randomly from the "songs" tab ensuring that there are no songs or files belonging to those excluded folders and still they were played.

Could you make recently added playlist show songs added earlier than 7 days ago? Like an option: this year, 6 months, 3 mo., this month.

Is there a way to have the album's of each artist take up less room on each artist page? Some artists I have 20-30 albums and I have to scroll through them to get to the song list. I've attached a picture of the way Shuttle does it as an example, you can swipe right to view more albums instead of having to scroll down.

First off, thanks for a very nice looking lightweight music player that sounds really good, I was so impressed that I purchased the Pro immediately. I have a small bug report and a feature request, if possible, both related to Android Auto. The bug is minor, and has to do with the peeking feature. Say, if I have Maps on and a new song comes on, the notification peeks briefly down to show me the song that's just started. In that notification, the album art is actually for the song that just finished playing. As I said, a minor thing.

As for the feature, this is simply to be able to browse playlists in Android Auto. At the moment, when I click on a playlist, it starts playing. I wouldn't mind having another panel open up that shows me the list of songs. Thanks again for your work on this!

[Android Apps and Games] DarkTwinge:
Haven't seen anyone else having this issue, but Pulsar is repeatedly cutting off the end of songs (and then moving on to the next song normally).

It seems to specifically be the last 10 seconds of a song that gets cut off. It's currently doing it almost all the time, using headphones and normally playing randomly from all songs on the phone (with some folders excluded).

I believe this first started happening mid January and I believe it was not happening early January. It happens both with and without gapless playback enabled. Current version is 1.6.5, Android version 5.1.1.

The only oddity that comes to mind with my files would be that they are volume normalized via a program called MP3Gain. This has never caused any issues with other media players, but it's the only unusual thing that comes to mind.

From what I've seen I don't think this issue occurs when the phone is active and the program open fully - I think it only happens when it's passively playing with the screen off.

Let me know if you want some example mp3s where it occurs or if there's a more specific test case I can check.

Would it be possible to include a selection, what Audio Output is used as in VLC? There's the option between AudioTrack and OpenSL ES in VLC and the second is so much better in quality. Or what codec gets used by Pulsar by default? Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Following with the artists names again...

In spanish, "La" in "La Unión", is equivalent to the word "The" into "The Rolling Stones",

but you are ordering "La Unión" by the "L" and ordering "The Rolling Stones" by the "R".

In spanish the correct alphabetical order is to use all the name (like you are ordering "La Union").

Due to that, I ask you to add a setting to bypass english sort then sort by all the artist name.

Thanks again!

In some cases the counters has issues.

See the screenshots. App says: "Cómplices: 4 albums and 5 songs.

Really, I have 4 albums from "Cómplices" but the total number of songs is 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 7 !

Also, the songs enumeration has the same issue: Only displays 5 songs, but if I click on the albums the songs are correctly displayed

2) An option to hide only artist images and the placeholder (at least on the list section)

Hopefully you can consider them!

casting isssue with Google Home mini speaker

Hello,

Recently pulsar does not play well when casting local mp3 songs to Google Home mini speaker (worked well before).

When I use chromecast feature to connect to my Google Home mini speakers, the first song starts playing on Google Home mini, but it gets stuck as soon as that song finishes playing and won't continue playing the next song in the playlist. If I tap [Next] Button, the next song starts playing but it also gets stuck at the end, thus I can only play 1 song in the playlist.

Versions I have this issue: 1.6.6 and 1.6.7 from Google Play Store, both Free and Pro versions.

I am not sure if this was problematic from the Google Home mini side.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

I also had this problem before.

I found that I had to go to Android's system settings, in managing all apps, find "Media Storage" (a system app), use "Force Stop" and "Clear Data", then wait several minutes for Media Storage to rescan media files.

Needless to say, I hate the fact that Pulsar decided to use Media Storage's cache instead of scanning some directories by itself. I found myself using Musicollet more and more (no network permission thus no ads) if I am not casting music over the network and just use Bluetooth connection.

Not being able to post a URL link, so search "Musicollet" on Google Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] mtbRev:
I second this

I agree that the album artist should be displayed alongside the album name and not the artist of the first track.

Great product, I bought the Pro App, I like it because it is simple and direct and just works without clutter! Keep up the good work.

I'm still having a rather rare bug, where the player has a notification that stays forever, as if it's playing.

It doesn't really play anything, but I can't stop it and can't remove the notification.

The song it allegedly plays doesn't even last this long.

Attached video to show what I mean.

A workaround is to make it play the next song, and then be able to close it.

Chromecast & Chromcast Audio - Music Hangs.

Having a similar issue...

I've owned my Chromecast Audio for over a year and have been able to cast Google Play Music, Amazon Music and Spotify to it without issue.

But when I cast from Pulsar (Have both Free and Pro) after playing 1 or several songs, the casting seems to stop and the music player indicates that it is playing but the song isn't progressing in the progress bar.

When I play the songs on my phone directly, there are no issue. I've tried this with the MP3s and the FLAC audio files on my phone. One's I've ripped myself and one's I've purchased.

This happens with both my Chromecast Audio and my Chromecast Video.

On version 1.6.7.

I'm on a 5ghz WiFi network.

I'm hoping this can be fixed.

Does this problem happen on previous Pulsar release, or only on latest version 1.6.7? Latest version includes latest Cast SDK v3.
[Android Apps and Games] cameos:
I saw this issue on several android devices, they are 2 amazon fire tablets running KitKat 4.4.4, Lollipop 5.1.1, and an android phone running Nougat 7.0.

I normally just play 1 album (10-12 songs), so the playlist is rather small.

Note that I didn't have this issue before 1.6.6, this started happening recently.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Occurred before. Just that it's very rare to see it.
[Android Apps and Games] wayloncovil:
Casting Hanging

I'm running a Moto G4 Plus.

When casting hangs, Pulsar is still showing that it's playing but the progress bar for the song is stopped at about 3 seconds before the song ends. The cast icon (the one you press in Pulsar to start casting) is filled in (meaning it's solid rather than just an outline) which indicates that it thinks it's connected to the Chromecast. When I click on the cast icon, the menu will still come up to stop casting.

I can also click on the next button and it reconnects.

Not sure if this matters but the ChromeCast icon in the status bar is not showing when this problem occurs.

I'm also not sure if this is a Pulsar only problem. I posted about this issue on Reddit and another person came back and said they were using neutron and had this issue. I had this issue with a few other apps as well.

Others who are having this problem, can you try a different app and see if that app shows the same behavior? Might help with troubleshooting.

Also, I've been using Pulsar for about 2 months and this has been a problem even before the most recent upgrade. Running Android 7.0.
[Android Apps and Games] mtpx7:
And I've got a Galaxy S7 running android 7.0. Excluded from every optimizing apps.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
From my testing, the WIFI is turned off for Pulsar even it has foreground services running, some time after screen off.

The current workaround solution is just keep the screen on, then the Chromecast should behave well. If this workaround does not work for you, please let me know.

I will study how to prevent system from shutting off wifi of my app. This behavior is related to battery usage.

[Android Apps and Games] wayloncovil:
Chromecast Issue Continued...

It seems weird to me that it would be a WiFi issue because it looks to me like the songs stop playing at exactly 3 seconds before the song is over regardless of the length of the song.

It also happens after 1 song or several. I would think that it would happen at a specific length of time each time the error occurred if WiFi is being disabled on Pulsar.

It seems to me that the more likely culprit would be some sort of handshake that occurs between the server and the Chromecast just before a song ends so it knows it's supposed to expect a new song and cover art, etc.

But I'm not a programmer and have never worked with the Chromecast SDK so take the above with a grain of salt.

As a side note, the reason I purchased the Pro application is because I could tell that you support your program and having an application supported by a good developer who brings enhancements to the app deserves financial support. I love the app. Thanks for all you do!
[Android Apps and Games] mtpx7:
The non-dissappearing notification bug occurs when stopping a song via notification, pressing recents button and closing the app.

It doesn't happen when I swipe away the notification after pausing and then closing the app via recents.

Hi there,

Here is a custom colour scheme:

- Accent: #B93854

- Background & Panel: #FFFFFF

- Image: #CFCFCF

- Primary: #303641

- Card: #222222

Attached is a screenshot with said configuration.

As a suggestion: it would be nice to be able to add your own colour schemes and to rename those instead of editing the existing ones. And maybe even include the option to import and export various colour schemes?

Have a nice day!

Currently different theme has different text colors. You can choose one as a basis to start your theme customization. There are many more places which can be customized in Pulsar, but I do not want to make the customization too complex and too professional.
