Great to hear, any progress on the color changes I mentioned in the now playing screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Not yet, I've got quite a few more things left before I get back to working on themes again.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisrj28:
Cool, look forward to it. Thanks again for the hard work. Especially with the headset button
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
tnx for update im glad its going forward, couple of suggestions - can you make those changes: time interval in seconds with a dot is easier then milliseconds, and make the following bigger - fade duration up to 3sec, manual crossfade to 10sec, auto crossfade to 30sec.

its my dream come true to have good player with such crossfades and will give us super lite dj spin to it ?

[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
What happens when you try to play music?
[Android Apps and Games] kojak1989:
cannot open the file and music folder doesnt exist.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
make sure you are browsing to the storage directory to access your files, you also may need to scan them by pressing the 3 dot menu and then scan to mediasotre before they can be played.
[Android Apps and Games] blacmack:
Feature requests:

Black theme for AMOLED Devices

Change shuffling implementation to shuffle entire list/playlist/album. (It's counterintuitive to want to start with track 5, and only shuffle every song after track 5).

Change artist name text in notification to white to improve readability.

Bugs:

Shows local photos as album art rather than actual album art in songs view, but plays songs with proper album art.
[Android Apps and Games] garcial17:
Just started using it. I enjoy it and it looks very good, but from the screenshots it looks like the shuffle button and repeat buttons are super big in the now playing area for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
A black theme is coming soon.

At the moment you can shuffle the now playing queue, the entire songs tab,playlists, shuffle by artists and shuffle by albums. I'll add a shuffle button to the album activity and artist activity soon.

Shuffle works by shuffling the songs before and after the current playing item separately to prevent songs that have already been played from playing again once shuffle has been pressed.

Changing the text colour to white won't improve readability, what happens when you have a white background?

I've added a shade over the album art and given the text views shadows so they remain readable no matter what the background colour is.

I'm going to be adding options for different notification styles so you'll be able to change it soon if you don't like it.

Can you show me a screenshot I don't have this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Can you show me a screen shot. Have you modified the DPI of your device? I'm aware this can cause some issues.
[Android Apps and Games] garcial17:
Yes of course. I have not touched anything with my phone so no DPI setting. Also scrolling in albums is a bit wonky.

[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
tnx for update!
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
there is one more update, what has been changed

also id like to report some bugs that iv found and hadn't been fixed yet:

*while playing, sometimes the notification is unseen (becomes fully transparent) and we cant interact with it

*while scrolling in albums, artwork covers takes time to be seen, you need to stop the scrolling then we can see it. its not convenient like it is (optimized scrolling doesn't do much)

*when entering album/playlist/etc the 1st track 3dot menu is always hard to access (too close to a shuffle/play button.

*very often the player will play twice at same time (example - some track is played, the play button is not displaying pause button but play. to interact im pressing play button and now the track is double played

*often the player does not crossfade at all (non of the albums is set as gapless so it has to crossfade (happens in both auto and manual)

*player is always in ram even when there is service time out

*alot of file types often cannot display track info when clicking nfo button

*audio focus is working with calls but not with other players/video players

*pretty often the player is FC when exiting from the x button or when service timeout. and keep FC until i force stop it

I pushed 2 updates to fix the issues below the version number was kept the same so I added these changes to the current version change log.

Fixed issue with scrobbler switch not enabling on post kitkat devices

Fixed issue with colour covering filled image notification

Does anything else that is weird happen when this happens? Like album art not appearing inside the player? What version of Android are you using?

Optimised scrolling stops images from loading whilst scrolling and loads them once scrolling has stopped this should improve scrolling performance on weaker devices. Sounds like you have it switched on if you don't like images loading after the scrolling has stopped turn it off.

Does the shuffle button not dissappear when you scroll down?

I'm aware of this issue, I'm working on a fix but it seems to be a very rare issue for me.

Is this a recent issue? I was working on crossfade and gapless in the last update but I've never experienced this one.

The service runs as long as the application is in the foreground or background because the service is bound to the application. If the application has been killed but the service is still running playing music and then you pause it and after a while it times out or you press the cross then the service will be killed. If the application is still running in the background or foreground when the service times out it will not be killed because it is needed by the application activities. However the music playing resources will be cleared and the notification removed.

What file types?

Is this an occasional issue or repetitive? because it works flawlessly for me.

Thanks for pointing out some of these

Hey bruv I found you on reddit, sweet work. I've been using it over poweramp since you released it which is a big compliment. I just put you on app hunt so hopefully that will help with some free advertising. I already had some feature requests but here are some more comments and requests for you to consider

(I'll include the ones I posted on reddit)

1. Perhaps if you can cache the album art somehow so it doesn't have to load the album art every time I scroll. I've messed around with the settings and it loads quickly, but just a small thing.

2. Audio bookmarking

3. More in depth themeing would be awesome. I'm just big on customisation.

4. You likely already know this but I don't think the widget is working (it only opens the app)

5. You said you were on to this but widget themeing would be great too.

Keep it up! Thanks for the good work

I'll find your donation button on pay day
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
1. I am using a caching system for album art although I have restricted the size of the pool. I think what you're seeing is the fade animation it lasts 750ms... I can add a setting to decrease or disable it.

2. I'll get around to taking a look at adding this feature, when I'm done with working on some other bugs and features

3. What kind of theming?

4. The widget seems to be working, I do see one issue where if the application and service is not running then pressing the buttons seems to require more than one press. I'm looking into this issue.

5. Will be working on this soon

I don't have a donate button so don't worry about that

Thanks for the feedback.

[Android Apps and Games] Evaunitone:
Hey man good on you for being involved.

>what kind of theming?

Yaata sms has probably my favourite amount of theming.

Diytheme for cyanogenmod is also a favourite.

I am not a developer so I don't know the difficulty level of adding the level of theming I'm thinking of.

Poweramp allows for themes made from users, but Yaata has in app theming for most app elements which I far prefer as I turn my phone into different design styles regularly, for example right now I'm using retro futurism colours with neons colours.

Ideally I'd love to see:

Background colours

Text colours and organised by elements

fonts from own sd card

Rgb box for colour choices

Seek bar colours

Play, stop, etc, colours

Perhaps even some more animations like an album art viewer display similar to iTunes maybe?

If you're feeling daring add milkdrop as a visualiser. There's an app called project m which does it.

I know I'm asking a lot, and I use an ad blocker so I don't know if your app uses ads so I'd like to support your development as you seem to be great at implementing feedback. That's why I keep asking about donation button.

Lastly, I use a media player called potplayer on pc and it saves all of your track/video locations if you switch to another media so you can pick up where you left off. This could be included into the bookmarking system if it's not something impossible.

Great work man ill try and plug your app whenever I can.

My Android One device is also listed as non compatible. I tried the web version, but then can not download

Is it necessary to introduce rocket science to simply download and install an app?
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
joshafc tnx for update il test it. can you by any chance support JB roms? i have a device that have just 4.1.2 and cant install pulse there
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
It should be simple, just follow the link then click 'become a beta tester' and then click the download on google play link. It may take a few minutes to become available but that is all that is required.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
That was initially the plan but I was having some issues with 4.1 devices so I ended up not supporting them. I no longer have a 4.1 device either so I can't test effectively with just an emulator. I don't think I'll work backwards to support it. Sorry.
