Hi. I like the app a lot. Only a doubt

I can't choose it in android auto as the default music playback app, android auto give me other options, but not omnia.

I've only tested at home, not in the car, I just installed the app today

EDIT.- Today OK, it's solved
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
There is no sync playlists in Omnia since Omnia does not depend on Android media store, its playlists are independent.
[Android Apps and Games] Jolt151:
There still seems to be some problems with the way playlists are being scanned, though. If I add a new m3u file to my playlists folder (which is being scanned), I simply can't get it to be added to the playlists tab, even with rescanning the library. It seems that the only time playlists are scanned is on first-time app startup. Is there something else I should be doing to have my playlist folder scanned?
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
What happens if you go into settings|apps and clear cache for Omnia? (Obviously not meant as a long term solution)
[Android Apps and Games] Jolt151:
Good idea, but I tried it just now and it didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
There is a flag in app that to ensure the playlists migration only occur once. You can clear storage in Omnia app page but your data will be lost.
[Android Apps and Games] Jolt151:
So, what's the flow supposed to be for syncing playlists from my PC? How should someone get those playlists to their phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Sughosha:
You can implement the feature that Poweramp has. It fills the whole screen with the artwork of the song that's been currently playing and blurs it. In case of plain background, the background color that's chosen looks good with some artworks but looks odd with some. If you implement this feature, it would look attractive with every kind of artworks.
[Android Apps and Games] Evropi:
Reading the above, I very much agree with you on the way Android is heading. I wonder if you've had any issues as a developer (or if any other users would like to chip in) with recent versions' aggressive power saving?

I remember coming across "Don't Kill My App" (it's a website, you'll have to Google it since URL filtering is strict on this forum; no, I'm not affiliated, but it's worth a read) on a Play Store page by a dev protesting it, I regret to say I forget the app it was.

I haven't had any issues crop up yet with Pulsar or Omnia, but it definitely broke Pocket Casts and my weather widget, funnily enough, so I always thought it was 18 degrees. The really bad part is that it's on by default on the Pixel 3 for everything. Anyway, it's worth considering putting something in the menu or at least the Play Store description. As for us, would you advise turning off the power saving for Omnia (and by extension Pulsar) specifically?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This is also under consideration. I will try to implement it and see the result. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Currently Chromecast has some issues. You need to keep screen on to avoid system killing the casting, otherwise it will be shut down after 2-3 songs.

I think Android system currently is good and stable, but the Android team is still seeking opportunity to enhance it, even not that necessary, they need to find work to do.

As we all know, "if it is not broken don't fix it". Now fixing may lead to side effects.
[Android Apps and Games] Sughosha:
I listened same song and the same part continuously in Omnia and Poweramp, selecting OpenSL ES Output and switching off equalizer, preamp and reverb in both. In Omnia I feel like the sound is suppressed, while in Poweramp I felt the sound clear. Then I started using equalizer. In Omnia, with Bass Booster preset, the highs sound suppressed when bass were being played in the song, and then normal, sounding like glitches in the song.

As I stick with Omnia, I don't want to switch to any other player. Please fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
You can also try AudioTrack mode.

If you switch off everything and listen to the plain sound, it is the differences of sound engine in two apps.

If you turn on equalizer, Omnia currently is using compressor to reduce distortion, sounds in some bands may be suppressed in this way, it depends on your music. You can increase preamp, which may help in this situation.
[Android Apps and Games] pstein:
some questions about Omnia

1.) Assume I delete an *.mp3 files from my Android device:

Is this song then automatically removed from (all) playlists as well?

2.) Assume I play a song in a playlist. Then I exit Omnia Music player.

How can I achieve that Omnia remembers this last playlist position and jump to it automatically at next start?

How can I tell Omnia at least to automatically jump to "Playlist" tab rather than to "Album" tab?

3.) I want to automatically backup the playlists through USB connection to my DesktopPC.

Unfortunately I cannot access the hidden backup-playlist files in com.rymsoft.omnia folder

Can you make them visible?

4.)Can you allow a different playlist folder (e.g. switch to Androids default "Playlist" folder)

Thank you

Peter
[Android Apps and Games] Sughosha:
At the top left, when pressed the three lines, where the artworks are shown, sometimes when album art has complex design, brighter color or text in itself, the name of the artist and the song looks unclear. Would you please try removing the artist and song name from there as those names are already showed at bottom in now playing section?

Also, in the same place, is it possible to make the album art appear in square, as now they appear in a rectangle and are cut from upside?

Thank you.

Edit: And also the default images, especially the night one is really cool man!
[Android Apps and Games] engguh:

[Android Apps and Games] casacristo:
how stable is it at present? Does it play .ogg files?
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Stable enough (really).

Yes it does
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
So am I just dumb? or does google assistant really not want to play anything using Omnia.
[Android Apps and Games] aZureINC:
Help

I love this App. Just one problem:

Bought Premium, then added a new Google account to my phone. Now premium is gone
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Is there any way to avoid blurry image on lock screen on Q?

Maybe any integration of this app with other apps?

For example, does it have a setting to disable showing image on lock screen, and instead pass it to a specific app?

The reason I ask this is that starting from Android Q, the image of the currently playing song becomes very blurry.

I was thinking that maybe I could show it in a live wallpaper app instead, to force it being shown nicely.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
1) It will.

2) It will remember the last playing queue and last playback position, if you exit properly. Killing the app will not work.

3) Can you view it from file management app from Android? Then you can copy them out.

4) I do not want to make app specific folder. There are too many folders created by many apps under the root directory.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
What kind of size do you want?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I think it is stable now.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It is hard for Google Assistant to recognize the word "Omnia"...

[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This seems to be a design change on Android Q.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
So grid with 2 columns? I will consider this in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Not only that, but omnia isn't able to be set as the default music app in assistants settings. Or is that something only Google can add?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I know, but there is a way to have a workaround for it:

Music player app tells a live wallpaper app about the image to show while playing music.

And the live wallpaper app will show it.

The only thing that's missing is the API that the music player app will expose to the live wallpaper app.
[Android Apps and Games] cassierole:
a question: If an album has no album artwork embedded in the tag, but there is a folder.jpg or album.jpg in the folder, will that display as the album art? Or will Omnia attempt to download art for the album?

Additionally, Omina seems to only use the Year tag for dates, while beets tags all my songs with a release date. Is it possible to use the year of the release date as a fallthrough?
[Android Apps and Games] stalingard:
I recently switched to S9 and during the course of usage, I note that the equalizer in the app wouldnt work. The very app works fine on the other two phones. Does the app support Pie?
[Android Apps and Games] stalingard:
If an album has no artwork than the application has been provisioned to download the artwork.

Also, the application allows the user to edit the tag.

Hope this helps, Cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] cassierole:
This does not help. I'm not going to edit tags for over 4000 songs manually on my phone. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Zawadul:
Loving the app. But a small criticism. When dark mode enabled, the option in the now playing remains white.
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Okay so, why is there still no option to sort playlists by folder and track number? Or at least sort by folder and filename?

Currently the only way to do this is to go into an album and select all then add the tracks to a playlist, if however you add an entire artist or use the folder view to add them collectively to a playlist it'll essentially randomise the order.
[Android Apps and Games] Evropi:
Ogg lyrics are broken

I recently encoded all my music in Opus, which is a really great lossy format and saved me a ton of space. I did this using MusicBee media player on PC.

There's a bug in Omnia unfortunately, it seems it can't read lyrics from files tagged in the Vorbis comments format.

I checked the file via TagScanner, the fieldname used is "LYRICS". It seems like it has wide acceptance and it would be nice to see Omnia support it. Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please send a sample music file to support@rhmsoft.com, I would like to reproduce this problem and fix it.

Howdy..

A great evolution to Pulsar which I have used from almost the start - the only issue I find is the same as that on Pulsar. Embedded Cover Art in tracks will not display if its 300x300 or less.. Would be great if this could be fixed as its the only glitch..

Cheers !!
[Android Apps and Games] doodledo:
Installed the app recently with full feature set. Great player!

One feature request: I'm using another app that utilizes the accessibility features of the notification access service to obtain information of music I listen to. It works well with Spotify while Google Music uses a broadcast that the app subscribes to for getting the music info. Is it possible for the player to provide this info, too? This could be done by adding the album, artist and track info into the tickertext field of the notification (which is for accessibility purposes) or using the same broadcast that Google Music used. With this, I can keep track again what I'm listening to.
[Android Apps and Games] sparky0915:
great app. feature request: shortcut for continue play.
[Android Apps and Games] update.freak:
I have the problem that Omnia does not recognize playlists copied to the SD card.

Structure on the SD card:

e.g.

Music/Songs/Lied_xy.mp3

Music/playlists/Test.m3u

Content of the test.m3u

../Songs/Lied_xy.mp3

However, Omni does not display a single playlist after loading the files.

Any solutions?
[Android Apps and Games] dreamofelectricsheep:
bookmarks don't work - so I can't use this app

Terrible bookmark design. Only One single bookmark For the entire application. Unbelievable. could not work out why bookmarks would always, always disappear. It was because . . . I was using the application.

there are only bookmarks when

- One bookmark per playlist

- one bookmark per directory

- bookmarks hold Both which mp3/ opus / 0gg AND position within that file.

If you want to do bookmarks well, then each will also hold..

- playback speed

- equalizer pre-set name

- position history

- and have a large, clear Visual maker
[Android Apps and Games] winte1:
When the equalizer is enabled, the volume output is changed by the rhythm of the music, which is a big problem!
[Android Apps and Games] Rootbox_Fan:
[MENTION=6073508]rhmsoft[/MENTION] First off - this player is just awesome!

There is only one little thing I would love to see added:

Please enhance broadcasted info and implement actual track number as well as total track count of the current played album :angel:

Background:

I am using a self build widget that process this info for display. And it works with some other players like Google play music or shuttle.

Please consider and many thanks for this great app :)

PS: just wondering what api/method is used for getting artist art? It works out much better than in other players :good:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Is there a way to select a file from the folders tab and *not* have it add the entire folder to the play queue? I use it to listen to long radio drama and usually only want to hear the single track. I realize I can manually clear the queue and then use the menu to add a track to the queue and then play the queue, but could we make adding an entire folder an option instead of the rule when I choose a single track? Thanks!

In last update it said :

Remember location in folder hierarchy mode

But when i play track in one folder then go to play track in other folders then return to the previous folder it didn't remember which track was played last time in this folder

How to activate this action.
[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
I love this app, could you add an option to keep the screen on?, I like to see the screen as songs come on, Android only allows 30 minutes till the screen shuts off, so it would be very useful to have an option to keep screen alive, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Install Tiles. Use the caffeine tile to keep the screen awake

[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
2. You can work around by adding genres to playlists and hitting the play button (with shuffle enabled) in playlist view.

3. Can't be done player side afaik. That's something that's gotta be implemented rom side.
[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
it would be nice of the app itself had this option, I prefer.
[Android Apps and Games] CorePrideX8:
Just got premium. Amazing player. Loudness options are beautiful
[Android Apps and Games] matteo.maff:
This is really a great player!

Would it be possible to control the chromecast volume with the volume rockers by default?

On Pulsar it is already like this, even though it only works when the notification is on, i.e. when the app is closed (maybe this can be fixed on Pulsar as well?)

Thank you and keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
when browsing folders I'd love to see full titles of the songs

[Android Apps and Games] barth2:
Great app. Pretty much the best I've tried.

Just one small comment: I have status bar turned off with adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

Other apps react to this by displaying over the status bar area, but Omni just leaves it blank. I think a music app is particularly suited for immersive mode, so it'd be great if you can fix that.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
hi, there's a bug I just noticed with Omnia, as you can see on the attached video, when I enter the folder titled Merry Christmas, it shows another folder inside of it titled "II You", I don't know why this shows, its its annoying because when I want to play just Merry Christmas, it plays Merry Christmas II You which is another album, please can you fix that?

I love Omnia Music, one question:

It's possible create playlists from M3U files who is within folders of music?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Dklktn_Dklktn:
Agreed.

This is what prevent me to use Omnia as my music player instead of... Pulsar+
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This is a feature in Omnia that ignore small images, but want to get high resolution images from internet.

According to your requirement, I may think to remove this feature, but when your 300*300 image displays in now playing page as full screen image, the resolution will be poor.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
There is intent broadcast for last.fm scrobble. Could you use this intent?

The intent action is "fm.last.android.metachanged" and it contains the media metadata.

m3u or wpl file? I plan to support these playlists file in future releases.

That sounds great.

I am mainly interested in support for M3U files.
[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] gonzo1963:
Good evening,

First of all, thank you very much for the app, it's great!

Is it possible, that in the "Folders" tab, at the first view, only the folders selected in the "Library" section were seen?

So it would be easier to choose from there, the file to play?

Display issue with multi-disc albums

Hi, so far I really like Omnia, especially the multi-genre support, Very Much appreciated!

I'm having an issue with many (but not all) multi-disc albums, where each disc is displayed as a separate album in "Album" view. For all of my multi-disc albums, I use identical "album title", "artist" and "year" for all discs/tracks, with different "disc number" depending on the disc. What's strange is it only splits up the discs in some, maybe half, of my multi-disc albums. Other media players do not split these albums up. I cannot figure out why Omnia is doing this sometimes.

Any suggestion on what to look for? Thanks.

Side note, I find Omnia loads more slowly on my phone than other media players (hi-fi cast, blackplayer, poweramp, gonemad). It's not terrible, but it seems odd that it's noticeably slower to load.
[Android Apps and Games] update.freak:
Put all the tracks in one folder "album xy" and rename the tracks in that way [CD] - [Number], e.g.:

01-03 artist- title

02-05 artist- title

That solved the problem for me
[Android Apps and Games] JazzinAZ:
Hey thanks, while I didn't do what you did, you pointed me to the right place. My tracks are generally separated into individual subfolders, however I found that what those subfolders are called makes all the difference in the world. In order for Omnia to categorize all the tracks under a single album, the subfolders have to be named exactly "CD1", "CD2", and so forth. There can be no space between letters C, D, and the number. Anything other than this, and each subfolder will be listed as a separate album, even if the "album title" and other album metadata are identical. Additionally, there can only be a single digit in the subfolder name, so "CD10" will not work, those tracks will be listed as a separate album. So you can have a maximum of 9 subfolders together under one album ("CD0" will not work either).

Thanks for pointing me to the right place!

Ratings

Hi

I've just purchased Omnia and even after just a few days, I'm really happy with it, best player I've ever used! It has every feature I need without the clutter other players come with. However, there must of course be one thing that's sort of missing. I'm probably not the first to ask...

Do you have any plans to implement "Ratings" as Scope/tab (similar to "Genres" or "Songs")?

The corresponding tags are not standardized across formats, but it wouldn't be very difficult to implement the most important ones with a format dependent wrapper:

(Sorry, I can't post clickable URLs yet.)

ID3v3 tags define the POPM frame, see en

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3#ID3v2_rating_tag_issue

Vorbis Comment de facto uses RATING, see

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis_comment#Format

Being able to create playlists based on ratings made in other applications and written to tags would be a killer, even more so if it were possible to also set the rating when/after a song is played.

Unknown album or artist

In library songs with unknown album or artist don't show up after scan. Make them show up as unknown albums or artist because i'm missing a lot of my songs. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Alypratt:
I like the fact that I can organize my albums by artists. I think that's very unique and fits into how I like to organize my music. Could it be possible to have an option to also have them displayed in release order? For example, I have both of Lorde's albums, but they are displayed "Melodrama" (2017) then "Pure Heroine" (2013). It would be great if the app could read when the albums were released so that they are organized by artist and from oldest to newest (first "Pure Heroine", then "Melodrama"), instead of alphabetically as it does right now.
[Android Apps and Games] Evropi:
I concur with the others. My most wanted feature would be to have a heading for discs. I've started listening to a lot of game soundtracks recently. The Ace Attorney soundtrack is the biggest culprit because Disc 1 is game 1, Disc 2 is Game 2, etc. MusicBee, which I use on Windows, has a subtle heading for discs by default (and in virtually all skins for this reason). Would be nice if Pulsar/Omnia at least offered it as an option if not as the default.
[Android Apps and Games] brewsbro:
I am having the same issue with Omnia that I had with Pulsar. On a few songs it just pauses, or skips to next tract, mid song. I think its only happening on ACC files. Not sure. Exact same file plays fine in other players.
[Android Apps and Games] brewsbro:
Are ACC and .M4A audio files the same? Omnia shows them as ACC, a file explorer shows extension as M4A. Anyhow, everyone makes Omnia to stop working. It either pauses, or freezes. At least for me. Most the time I can hit next song to here the next song as long as its a mp3. Just like Pulsar did. I converted one of the M4A files to MP3 and it plays fine in Omnia.
