@realzoulou

1. "hr Radio" ensemble is working again, without stuttering. Thanks!

2. I am not sure whether it has worked before, and i haven't tested it with several tools, but now i see following fault:

In launcher i use (CarLauncher) there is a possibility to get current player and try to control it. So i can press 3 buttons: "prev", "next" and "play/pause". it works for music players (tested on AIMP and JetAudio). But for DAB-Z the "play/pause" button does the same as "prev" button ("prev" and "next" buttons work with DAB-Z as intended).

I can pause/play DAB from its notification bar, and after pausing it the first press of "play/payse" button from launcher works (DAB starts playing). But after that this "play/pause" launcher button behaves as "prev".

Can you, pls, check it in DAB-Z side?

If you want, i can test it also with other tools (macrodroid/tasker/whatever else allowing me to send intents or media events).

Will the Dension dbu-8501-4 DAB adapter work with this app? I installed a Eonon head unit with Android 10 in my 2010 VW Touran but I am struggling to connect my Dension adapter. Anyone got any ideas? When I connect the USB it says the drive is corrupt and wants to format the drive..
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
No.
[Android Head-Units] Munz84:
Good answer, thanks!

@ibaxx Did you try DAB-Z 1.8.101 and did it fix the issue for you?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Done :)
[Android Head-Units] SaabAero23:
Im getting "Unfortunately, Bluetooth has stopped." upon launch when connected to cars bluetooth. Any fix/version i can try?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Try connecting your phone only for telephony (HFP) and not also for Audiostreaming (A2DP).

Can not be fixed in DAB-Z. Bluetooth crashes, so it has to be fixed there.

Updated to latest beta 1.8.101 and OMRI doesn't work anymore. OMRI off, working as it should.

I don't know what beta version i was on when i updated because i don't update regularly. :rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] IG_Vasilich:
pls specify what exactly doesn't work - no sound, or no channels, or anything else?

Have you tried to rescan channels?

Really, try to be helpful to developer. Simple "doesn't work" won't help, and you haven't even said on what version it has worked before update ...
[Android Head-Units] Max-Rockatansky:
Hi, I've updated to latest version from the play store today.

I'm UK based and previously had issues with no audio. This seems to be working OK now, I can switch back and forth between channels without losing audio.

I do have a new issue though...

All my local/regional stations are no longer picked up. They were there in my previously saved station list, but there was no audio when I selected the station. I replaced /retuned the channel list and all such local stations are now gone.

My household dab radio & the other supplied dab app still receive ok, so it's not down to a transmission fault.

Hope that makes sense.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
@Max-Rockatansky Are you by any chance Mark H. ?

Can you tell a few of these local/regional station names that you are missing now?
[Android Head-Units] Max-Rockatansky:
No, not Mark H.

If it helps, I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Off the top of my head - Forth1, Forth2, Heart Scotland, BBC Radio Scotland, Clyde1, Kingdom FM.

I'm sure there are more, but I hope that helps.

Let me know if I can give you any more info.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
@Max-Rockatansky Ok, then it was coincidence that a Mark left a very similar comment on Play Store.

Forth1, Forth2, Heart Scotland are on 12D "Edinburgh" ensemble

BBC Radio Scotland is on 11B "Tayside"

Clyde 1 is on 11C "Glasgow" (also Heart Scotland again),

Kingdom FM is on 11D "Central Scotland"

This is really weired... I expected that a whole ensemble is missing, but you miss only certain stations on various ensembles.

Can you please activate OMRI verbose logging (for instructions see post #1) and create a logcat after you finished a station scan? This would help me to see why you are missing certain stations.
[Android Head-Units] Max-Rockatansky:
Thanks for looking into this.

I'll read up on how to create a logcat and try to do this tomorrow 👍
[Android Head-Units] kajboj:
With OMRI on and a fresh scan i get all the channels but no audio. I cleared app cache to no avail. With omri off, audio works perfectly. VID/PID 16c0/05dc

I'll try to clear data and eventually downgrade to pervious versions to check at which version omri broke.
[Android Head-Units] Max-Rockatansky:
Hi

I've just emailed a logcat zip file to you, hopefully it worked OK.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks 👍
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
With clearing cache the app only looses the RadioDNS logos downloaded via Internet. It will not help here.

To start narrowing down the issue, you could tell

a) city/region were you are from

b) name the stations that have no audio

c) I assume you are using version 1.8.101, right?
[Android Head-Units] kajboj:
Sry saw your reply late. So in the meantime i installed 1.8.96 after uninstalling 1.8.101 and with omri on, i get audio on all stations.

I uninstalled 1.8.96 and installed 1.8.101 again. I started scan with omri on and it found no stations. I turned off omri and scanned again. Now it found all the stations with audio.

Basically that's what i found out that last version that omri worked was 1.8.96.

On 1.8.101 with omri on, station scan finds no stations. Omri off works just fine (scan and audio)

Region is Malta
[Android Head-Units] BigManni:
Hi. On Android 10 with a px5 unit i have a problem.

DAB-z works perfect, start playing after sleep , stearingweel swtitch channels.. .......

For example, when I start navradio, DAB-z pauses, so far ok. but as soon as I change the radio station with the steering wheel button, a small message appears with a station change in DAB-z (remains in the background) and navradadio stops playing. so i must press on the touchscreen a station to continue playing.

it looks like the audiofucus goes to dab-z when changing channels.

Is there a way to prevent dab-z from receiving the button intent in the background?

thx

thanks to realzoulou for this great program!
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Please see post #1 for instructions to create OMRI raw recordings.

When it says "reproduce issue", please perform a station scan. Then send me all raw recordings from DAB/rec folder. Greetings to Malta from Bavaria!
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
This seems to be an error in your Android ROM.

Are you not using Hal9k 4.x ROM? Everyone should use this on a PX5 ;-)
[Android Head-Units] BigManni:
I am on stock Rom.

I know the point in the Dab-Z setup that ends when it pauses.

this works but on next start it takes long time to start dab-z.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
@BigManni is your PX5 rooted? Then you could take a system-wide logcat (DAB-Z Settings -> Info) after:

1. Navradio+ plays

2. Steering wheel "next" causes DAB-Z to start playing again

3. Logcat button
[Android Head-Units] BigManni:
@realzoulou

its not on Root

DAB-Z does not start playing, only change channel (keeps paused staying in Backround).

is a log without root also useful?
[Android Head-Units] kajboj:
Sent you the raw recordings via email (the one listed on google play).

Cheers from Malta to Bavaria 🍺🍺
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Unfortunately not. I would only see the logs of DAB-Z, but not from Android or NavRadio+
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
With the help of @Max-Rockatansky and @kajboj I was able to identify the issue. A fix is on the way already...

Root cause is that certain stations don't send some information that I thought was mandatory, FIG 0/13 for the experts here. In the beginning I presumed that only the old DAB standard stations (like in UK) are affected, but also Malta is affected, which has only DAB+ standard stations.

I think Malta violates ETSI EN 300 401 V2.1.1, 6.3.0 Service organization, which states

whereas in the old DAB standard V1.4.1, the sentence was
[Android Head-Units] kajboj:
heh I won't be surprised that Malta violates standards :cowboy:

Will try the 1.8.102 as soon as it arrives on Google Store.

Cheers! 🍻

[Android Head-Units] Max-Rockatansky:
I'll download this tomorrow and give you feedback. Thanks for your support 👍
[Android Head-Units] Zabzd:
Good day.

Thank you for your perfect application.

I would like to propose two changes.

1. Button "turn off the application" in the menu "Settings" (it happens to me that when switching between frequencies the application gets stuck and I have to complicate the android settings and exit the application)

2. More "favorite list" - for example three, as is the case with FM radios.
[Android Head-Units] IG_Vasilich:
1. Wouldn't it be better to clear why

? pls post your hardware specs, android version, OMRI or not, etc.

Moreover, pressing Android's "back" button (while DAB-Z is in front) exits the app.

2. What are the use cases for having several favorite lists? in FM radios there are several because most of those have only 6 preset stasion buttons, and people wanted to have more than 6 favorites. DAB-Z has unlimited number of items in favorite list.
[Android Head-Units] Zabzd:
I am sending the specifications, see the attachment. DAB-Z with OMRI. The mistake is accidental, I didn't figure out why. When switching between stations on one frequency, everything is fine, after switching the station to another frequency, the DAB-Z gets stuck. No sound and on-screen information remains from the previous station. Then the hard application must be shut down and restarted.

The BACK button does not close the application, it only switches it to the background. I will try to do LOG when this error occurs.

To more "Favorite list": In the Czech Republic we do not have coverage of all frequencies throughout the country, so I would save my "Favorite list" for each part of the Czech Republic. I also don't drive in the car alone, so everyone could save their "Favorite list"
[Android Head-Units] Max-Rockatansky:
OK, updated version now installed and I've got all my stations back 😁👍

I did encounter some weirdness after I'd updated it and was checking it was OK...

When switching back and forward between favourite stations, all of a sudden the audio started to play at a really slow speed 🤷🏻‍♂️

It did this more than once as well as after a restart, but it all appears to be fine now. Bit of a mystery there, but the bottom line is it seems OK now.

I'll report back with any other issues, but thanks again for the ongoing support 👍
[Android Head-Units] IG_Vasilich:
then adding the dedicated "Exit" button won't help either, because the DAB-Z app is already in weird state, if it doesn't close itself on "back".

So please post logs (if possible - system-wide).
[Android Head-Units] kajboj:
I got all the stations with OMRI ON with the 1.8.102 (y)

Audio played as well although at one point when i switched to a station it told me No Audio but then i switched to another station and back and audio came. It was a one off because i couldn't reproduce it.

If I'll encounter any reproducible issues will let you know.

Thanks a lot from Malta 😎

Hi zoulou could you make sure that dab-z does not ask for permission to access the DAB-USb doungle persistently? It's very annoying, I don't think you need to manually authorize every time, it might be automatic thank you very much

Regarding the Erisin head unit and the annoying popup prompt to allow access, I have an Erisin unit and had this for a long time until I happened to go through the Android settings one day looking for something else and found an option set which was something like "Always mount USB drives", I disabled this and it doesn't do that any more.

With last 2 updates I lost all DAB stations from Croatia even though the signal in my area should be strong. I tried to rescan, but only Slovenian and Austrian stations were found. My other stock DAB app on device is showing Croatian's stations, I rescan on that app and it found all stations. Should I uninstall DAB-Z competely from device or try to install version that worked?
[Android Head-Units] Yess250:
Well, with version 1.8.96 all stations are found, so I'll stick to this version. Without OMRI mode all stations are found too in latest app version but then metadata (album art) is missing.

I would need your support to find the root cause in 1.8.102

Good day.

I tested when the application hangs when switching to another frequency (from 12D to 12C).

I've found that it only happens when my radio hasn't been on for a long time and has the wrong time to turn it on. So the DAB-Z starts at the wrong time of 4:58 pm, but after synchronizing with the GPS the correct time is set at 2:08 p.m. Then, after switching to another frequency, the sound is cut off and the application must be restarted. After the restart, everything works fine. In the attachment I send the LOG after the jam.

Hi realzoulou,

I realized, only after purchasing the usb stick, that the integrated tuner is perfectly compatible with dab-z. Amazing app!

If I want to use the stick instead of the built-in receiver what can I do?Could there be a conflict between the two tuners?

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] SkyBeam2048:
Maybe you should just try. I guess it should work with multiple tuners connected. Perhaps you should think about connecting both tuners to the antenna as @realzoulou mentioned a while ago that multi-tuner support for OMRI is being worked on. So in the future you might be able to use one tuner for background scanning while listening to channels. Or record a channel while listening to another etc.
[Android Head-Units] syk02jcb@hotmail.com:
Mine gives 4,7 volt. I think the demand of the antenna is the answer to that question. I have tried with a phantom adapter, but this did not give difference in my case

Release ZOU-DAB+170909

Release of my next major version of the DAB+ App mod.

ZOU-DAB+170909

This is

not

the "master piece" release yet.

Download: REMOVED

There are (again) two versions of the App:

a) the "normal" one

b) one with no usb_device_filter.xml included, which makes Android remember already granted access of DAB+ App to the USB DAB device.

However, Android then also starts the DAB+ App whenever it finds the USB DAB device as newly connected, which is the case when you power on the

head unit.

Some people don't want that the DAB+ app starts automatically when the DAB USB device is detected at startup. This is the reason why this version exists.

Note: When running on Android >= 6, this version will most likely ask for permission to access the USB device at *every* start of the app.

Credits for translation to Norwegian goes to XDA member [MENTION=8230396]syk02jcb@hotmail.com[/MENTION]

Changes (see also the Changes.txt from the download):

New:

- Most (not all) of the texts are now available in: English, Deutsch and Norsk bokmål

Credits for translation to Norwegian goes to XDA member [B [MENTION=8230396]syk02jcb@hotmail.com[/MENTION][/B]

- Swipe to right in station list shows a delete button. On swipe left again, delete button disappears. On click on delete button an alert dialog appears to allow the user to confirm. Deletion of stations cannot be un-done. A new scan is needed to get the station back.

- Additional info (channel and ensemble name) in station list can be deactivated via Settings->Layout

- "Service Following" feature can be activated in Settings->General. NOTE: This is treated as "Experimental". This activates the original app functionality, which was always in the app, but was not connected to the UI. Do not blame me if you find it not working.

- Audio recording button can be activated via Settings->General

- The borders around the slide show picture and around the station list can be deactivated via Settings->Layout

- A click on the slide show picture creates a large version of the picture. I call this "Large SLS".

- Swipe left or right on "Large SLS" switches between the picture and some detailled info about the current station.

- When starting a re-scan one can choose now between "Replace all stations" and "Add new stations"

- The app sends out broadcast intents containing all information that you can also find on the screen.

The definition of the intent is in file "BroadcastIntent-definition.txt"

Changes:

- Fixed: no audio after standby when using NoKill mods.

- Fixed: when USB connection suddenly drops, the App remains active but with no audio. My fix is to close the app.

- Settings layout improved

- Notification now contains station name instead of "Make DAB+ great again ..."

- A second way to enter the settings screen is via the "Large SLS" screen

- Optimization of memory allocations. Results in less Garbage Collector runs, which is good for overall performance.

Seems to work ok for me. Would still like the option of station logos for the UK. I would even create a logos folder if I knew what format is required & the filenames.

Some questions:

1) How is audio recording started when enabled in settings ?

2) Where are the recordings stored ?

3) Where are the broadcast intents saved to ?

End Product

Hi, Im a novice and no doubt will attract scorn from proper developers. I just wanted to ask if and when the finished product is developed will it appear on play store? If not, where can I find instructions for installing on the head unit.

I have a wifi connection and previously downloaded the zip file. I wasnt confident enough to go any further.

Thanks for working to refine this app. :fingers-crossed:

I love DAB but the faults in the original app were so annoying.
