[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
DAB-Z release 1.7.77

DAB-Z release 1.7.77 is available

Reason for beta release (EDIT 2020-02-08: 1.7.77 is no more beta, it is now officially releasd

For the new feature "Station list import/export" and for fixing "audio stops when screen orientation changes",

I changed a whole bunch of code and although I tested insensively with 3 different head units (and a phone), I hesitate to give this out to >23K users.

I see that ~360 users have registered for receiving beta versions (which I never used so far).

Thus, only the registered beta test users will receive 1.7.77 for now.

If you are no beta user yet, subscribe in Google Play as described in here or from the device open this list: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.zoulou.dab

Change log:

New

* Scan button removed from the button bar. With no stations, a big scan button appears instead of the station list.

* New Settings>Station list with 3 options:

1. Station scan (exactly the same as before, but the button has moved into Settings)

2. Station list import allows to choose from a list of labelled exports. Contains a delete button to delete no longer needed exports.

Please note the known issue below!

3. Station list export with option to give a label to an export.

* New Settings>Audio>Android audio channel (Android >=6 only) allows to change the audio attribute used by DAB-Z to send the audio stream to Android Audio Management.

* At first launch after installation, a message about the possibility to deactivate OMRI is shown.

Bugfixes

* After having moved favorite stations, at next start the wrong station is played.

* Settings>Station logos>RadioDNS: Screen is locked while logos are counted in background

* Settings>Layout>'Logo and Station list swap' has no immediate effect, only after restarting the app

* Fixed for OMRI mode only: Audio stops when screen orientation changes or split screen is activated

* Fixed broken layout of Settings>Station logos>Logo import. Completely removed the expandable list (was showing lists of stations with no or ambigous logo)

* Reduced the size of built-in logo assets by using a better compression. App is now 9 MB when downloaded, was 12 MB before.

Known issues

* OMRI: Importing a station list shows "import failed" or does not pick up the station list. Workaround: kill + restart DAB-Z (kill it by using the Recents menu) or reboot the device.

* OMRI: Random crashes, often after selecting a new station

* OMRI: Sometimes no audio, especially with stations using old DAB standard (MPEG), but also randomly with DAB+ (AAC) stations

* OMRI: May crash after performing a station scan, which found certain stations, e.g. BBC R5LiveSportX

FYI: This happens during the RadioDNS logo download running in the background if connected to Internet

* OMRI: Some stations stutter and show a different bitrate than in non-OMRI mode. Seems that mainly Intel Sofia devices are impacted.

* OMRI: After station scan, stations may be missing, which appear properly in non-OMRI mode.

* OMRI: RadioDNS logo download no (or not enough) logos, although country should be covered.

* Non-OMRI: Randomly crashes while parsing data from DAB USB adapter
