Now that it looks like you have mastered the player widget, will there be an update to the official version on the play store? I don’t have time to keep checking for beta updates so I just use the official paid for version. Although it is very good it is frustrating as there are a few bugs which is mainly with the player widget.

One other thing, if I downloaded the above attached beta version which is reported to work very well. How would that work with the fact that I have paid for the full version?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I have also paid for the Full Version. When I install any of the Betas (or alphas ), the app knows that I have the Full Version, acknowledges that I do in the "FCC : About" , and all the Full Version features work.

No real difference in effort that I see, in getting the Betas from Play Store, or the released version. ( Just sign up to be a beta tester to get the beta versions )

I want to resolve this issue with the volume. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it on my PX5 test unit :(

Can anyone who has a root and has such issue record a LogCat log with video?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Also cannot reproduce it on my PX5 ( and my rooted Allwinner T3-P3 Volume cannot seem to be controller at all my FFC .. at least until FCC starts to support Allwinner)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Then it's probably a good time to release the current beta.

The Player widget is much improved in current Beta, in particular, the Poweramp issue seems to now be successfully resolved (Till Poweamp changes !!), so these improvement are well worth a new release.

However, I am still seeing issues in switching between certain player, which is now more obvious still exists, now that the overriding Poweamp issues is resolved.

Maybe most just settle with their favorite player, and alternate between that and the Radio. The good thing is that the Radio now seems to be rock stable, and always switches to and runs as expected.

I assume you do a lot of the testing with the emulator ?

If you test with an actual head unit (say a PX5) can you connect that to Android Studio, and debug it with Android Studio ?

I get the impression if you were to run the current Beta on an actual PX5 unit, you might at least see some of these Player Widget issue more readily, even if you cannot actually debug them on the Head Unit.

I'll try to do another Video (with audio commentary) this weekend, to demonstrate the issues I am seeing.

What is strange is that the problems seem less on the ALLWINNER T3_P3 system, that is not officially supported yet ? !

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Seems I spoke too soon about Poweramp. While it is improved, it is still causing me a problem, and making thing unstable when switch between other Players.

If I remove Poweramp, everything works so much better .. so, for the time being, I have UNINSTALLED Poweramp.

I believe that if Poweramp has got a system wide problem with the way it generates and responds to external controls, then the Poweramp Developer should fix their APP, and not FCC.

Speedfire- If you are too busy to contact them, I am more than willing to go "BUG" them to fix it .. I did pay for it and at the moment I have really had to uninstall it.

If you could tell me "TECHNICALLY" what is wrong, in terms that will make sense to the Poweramp Developer, I will pass it on and press them for a fix.

Tried to get CATLOG to run on the Rooted Allwinner, to get log of Amazon Music not showing Artwork in FCC, but did not have a lot of success.. Log said system was too busy doing other things and skipped all the event ?? Maybe it's just too slow ?

Poweramp does have it's own Widget, that works fine with Poweramp, and displays a small Artwork. I don't know if that can be easily decompiled, or if its just quicker and easier to get a Catlog of it not working in FCC.

Somewhat of a disappointing Morning's playing :(

You can try to get an answer on yoyur questions... but I promise that you don´t get any.

Tried it a year ago because of bad mocking behavior (the issue is still in there) but I didn´t get a word.

...but let me ask for a refinement/change request/feature request, how ever you want to call it... ;)

If you open the "other apps" page, all apps are just sorted alphabetical, but not by theme.

It would be good to have a possibility to be able to sort these apps.

I would like to see configurable tabs to sort my apps like it is done in Nova launcher.

I have root and the problem with the sound volume jumping. I can take a video but is there an instruction or tutorial on how to record the log/video properly?

The sound problem seems like if FCC sets the volume in software it sets the volume value that is stored within FCC. When you then later use the hardware button to press the volume, it does pass through the volume change press but it seems like the MCU also remembers a "last value" . So it is like the MCU and FCC are trying to battle for what the last volume was, and also still adding or subtracting 1 for the volume press.

Pandora media controls still do not work, but it seems like this is because Pandora changed the way it's media controls compared to other Android applications?

I am having a bug also where Poweramp displays the song title 3 times in a row, or pressing the next track will jump 3 tracks, but I think this is the Poweramp bug that is already being discussed.

Let me know how to make a video thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes, Poweramp has turned out to be a big disappointment.

I would suggest that you initially try making the video with your Smartphone, and that way you can show what you are doing, and give an audible commentary.

If you can also be displaying the CLOCK on your screen, and set it to show Hour:Minutes:seconds, then that will make it very easy to correlate what you are doing on the screen, with the CatLog timestamps.

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

Yes, I notice that the Poweramp developer is very unresponsive.

We are really lucky and spoilt with FCC, and with SpeedFire- who is amazing responsive, and open to suggestions. I don't think there is any other App on the Google Play Store that is even closely so well supported.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
When I tested Pandora in FCC about 10 days ago, I also found the Text & Artwork updated correctly, but the Previous/Next & Pause/Play controls did not function in the Player Widget.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
AMAZINGLY, I got an almost immediate response from "maxmp", on the Poweramp forum, asking for details. Maybe they will take this one seriously and do something about it.

Beta 3.149 is uploaded.

AllWinner integration has started:

- FM Radio support (including RDS!)

P.S. You need to change your device type to AllWinner: FCC Settings -> System -> Advanced settings -> Select your device type

beta-3.149
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Great! Yes, see the first post in this thread for instructions how to record LogCat log.

Just record LogCat log and video simultaneously.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
3.149 Allwinner.

GREAT - Now I have a Radio !

Player Widget text populates, but the Player Artwork is very hit & miss.

FCC Notification pops up correct on Station change, and shows correct text & Artwork(if available), but Artwork does not populate the widget.

(Does the 1st time on FCC re-start)

Also, the FCC Animated Notification only pops up for a split second, no matter how long it is set for.... does this for any Player, not just Radio.

The Forward & Reverse controls seem to be forward & Reverse tune, as opposed to Next & Previous Preset, as they were in the RocketShip Radio control. (Far better as Preset selection, as it was in Rocketship, if that is possible)

Pause, and Start controls work correctly and do those functions.

FANTASTIC ... Very good news.

I will keep out of any further communications (or post on this matter on the PowerAmp forum) , and let you two guys sort it out. :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
We identified the cause of it. Animations are disabled on your head unit. Go to Developer Settings (access code for AllWinner devices is 7890) and enable 3 types of animation to x1.
[Android Head-Units] AdekP:
Does RDS information also work on px5 hardware?

PS

I have a paid version of FCC and I would like the FM radio to work after quitting sleep mode. At the moment, the radio application starts (I have it marked in the settings), but there is silence in the speakers. For the radio to work, I have to go to the FCC, press the pause button on the FCC interface and then I have to press the play button. It is very frustrating for me, because I am still dealing with it, unfortunately my wife is not. Please correct this.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
RDS integration is possible on AllWinner platform only currently (and this is the first time of RDS integration).

I will try to reproduce your bug with FM radio.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks !! A lot more hidden options I knew nothing about on this unit, compared with my Px5 unit. Made those settings changes, and now the FCC notifications are back working just like on the px5.

Next thing I want too do is sort out making the LogCats (as the Allwinner unit is defiantly Rooted , I think by it's previous owner)

Also found some Display setting is the Developer section, that potentially make a Screen Capture video easier to see what is being pressed, so I made a quick video, to show the other Radio Issues I am having.

One thing, not mentioned in Video, but you can see it .. if the Radio moves to a Frequency that does not have a defined artwork, the previous artwork keeps displaying. Ie If there is not a Correct Freq Artwork, the artworks does revert to the default.

So, played with the Video a bit .. need to brush up on my Video editing skills.. been a long time. Maybe did not save it in the best resolution, the original was much bigger and a lot clearer.. (need to work on that). - :( also didvery little to no editing of this video

Aiming for a time where I can make a really good FCC Youtube Video, showing the world how wonderful FCC is ... :)

Added: Just notices, Video and sound got out out sync... need to check that next time !!

and yes skipping by .2 is correct - 200Khz spacing in the USA. :)

[MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION]

I have the paid version of Tunein and the problem is that if I have the widgets of the application I can see the covers of the album or the song (if the station has it), but if I have the FCC player widget I can see the station , the title of the song but you can not see the cover of the album. With pcradio the covers of the stations are seen without problems.

Is it possible that the covers of the songs can also be played on the player widget?

Still persistent - Though the GPS itself is working via GPS monitor and maps, but FCC looses track.

This seems to be dependant on the sleep/wake cycle, since after reboot it works, but doesn't after sleep/wake.

1) speed widget stopped working - rebooted twice - 1st was to have FCC setup the new process as you mentioned and 2nd was to overcome maybe a GPS device wakeup error.

# just after the second reboot, the widget was working, but stopped doing so after 1 or 2 minutes

Anyone else noticed a problem with "all applications" icon/widget? Every time I click it on the screen, no matter if it is as an icon or as a widget in left panel, I get information that "application is not installed". Only way to get to the app drawer is by holding finger on the screen until we get settings menu and clicking "all applications" there. I'm using the latest version from google play store (non beta one).

And also, phone calls through FCC is still not working (using voice control or using widget on screen). I have PX5+ option set in settings, all setup steps completed. When I try to call a contact it just says "calling contact" and then nothing happens. I have no root on my device (Erisin ES7841U).

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Suggestion:

When reporting errors, try to state the actual Beta Version number you are referring to, rather than just "The latest beta".

At the time you post, it may well be "the latest beta", when when others are reading posts on the forum some time later, it may not then be the "Current latest beta" and it gets very confusing trying to associate what issues you are reporting with what Beta version.

Regarding GPS/Speedwidget:

If I restart FCC it is back to normal, so I assume after sleep FCC maybe has too little attemps or delay to check for GPS signal?
[Android Head-Units] jcing:
I'm using FCC now in a new install and I use the widget with Poweramp and radio. The widget shows the images for Poweramp audio files but when I can't assign images for radio stations. I've tried with jpg and png in different sizes but it's impossible. Could I save the images in an specific directory in my unit?

Thans a lot :)
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I believe you need the have Purchased FCC to enable that function

( Custom Radio Names & Artwork)

You will then need to select the Image from whatever place you have it stored, and FCC will put a copy of image into it's Radio Database. (which becomes an item that is backed up & restored).

There is NO SPECIAL directory you are required to put the image files into .. in fact, once you have pointed FCC to the image file you want, and FCC has copied it to it's database, you can delete that image if you want, as FCC now has it's own copy"

That's to be expected .. but good he will make some changes.

Did you get a chance to look at the Allwinner Radio Next/Previous controls, to see if they could be made to act to select the next/previous Presets, rather than just tune up down.

The Px5 controls step through the presets.

It seems that at AllWinner there is no such built-in method as "next saved station". The only way to do this is to make my own fm radio app.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Shame -- I am definitely NOT requesting that you spend a lot of time doing that.. Personally, I only have the AllWinner because I got given it to play with.

I do not intend to put it in a car, and I do not intend to listen to FM radio on it -- local FM radio sucks.

Its just a rooted Android unit for me to safely mess about with, and if I brick it, no big deal.

No I don't at the moment, but that is something I am planning to do soon... now it will be sooner.

Are the Steering wheel codes actually effectively the Resistance switched by the buttons.

In any case, I should be able to connect a couple of buttons to switch two resistances, and define those buttons to FM Radio next/previous station, and see if that works. ( I have the resistance schematic of a typical wheel button unit, and my unit does take the analogue steering wheel inputs.

I just updated to 3.155

Have you recently (in that last 2-3 versions) done any changes to the Backup/Restore.

Seems to have gone crazy .. cannot create file messages while backing up (even after a full re-boot)

Maybe at my end, maybe you changed something ?

I'm also seeing something else that I a reasonably sure did not exit before.

If I am tuned to a FM Radio Station (with the Radio), and run a web link to google to identify the song, the Radio station changes, typically back to Preset #1 .

99% sure that did not happen before, as I often use to call up Google to identify a song on the Radio, and it never changed the Frequency.

I will go back to a previous version and see if the Functionality returns, then back to the latest beta, to confirm something has broken. If it has, will make a Video.

Ref: Radio Stations changing when using Google Music Search.

(1) Went back about 5 version, still does it. So came back to 3.155 and made video.

In the video, I can change radio station with the Widget control, and get the correct FCC Notifications, and all is well.

But when I hit the "Google Music Search Icon) - Top center of screen, it opens the App, and you see that FCC stream a whole lot of Radio Notifications, as the Radio Station is changed.

Repeated this again in the Video, and same thing happens.

I sure there was a time when it did not do this, but could be a long time ago.
[Android Head-Units] jcing:
Of course, I purchased FCC on Play store, but I can't found the backup database in my unit. It would be possible that we can't use the images without this database? Radio names are shown but when I select an image for radio station doesn't work
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
You are making it too complex. You do not have to be concerned about the Radio Database, FCC looks after that. (The only way you can really see it, is if you do a Backup).

In any case.. don't worry about it.

When you go into FCC SOUND settings, there is a place to define what Text YOU want to display for a given FM Radio Frequency, as well as what Graphic you want.

You have to enter data for each Frequency you want custom text you want, and specify Graphic file.

Then FCC take that info, and stores it INTERNALLY in it's RADIO Database,

You do not need to care how or where that Database is -- all you need do is to Tell FCC what you want set up.
