I'm a long time user, even paid for Pro version and I have a feature request:

The auto-play on bluetooth connect feature is really great, but I need it to only be active with my car bluetooth (think of a whitelist of BT devices to choose from). Everytime I'm on a vacation and use bluetooth speakers, this feature kicks in and the music stars with volume through the roof automatically. If the feature is not active at all, the phone only connects to speakers and lets me lower the volume first.

Hi, i m a new user and i really like the player! Just one question, is it possible when i press the back track button to go at the previous song instead of the beginning of the current playing song? Is there an option or can it be implemented? Thanks!

Does using Android's native decoders (as Pulsar does) offer performance advantages over Omnia's custom decoders?

Is there hardware accelerated decoding in either decoder, or are both decoders performing software decoding?
[Android Apps and Games] andreahx:
Hello, after trying several music players for Android, I have decided to keep Omnia, and also to purchase it to reward and support your work.

But if I may, I believe there are a few things (which I have seen in other players and) which could be further improved:

- For less known artists, the artist image is often wrong, while the album art is still correct. Could it be possible to add the option to use the album arts as artist pictures?

- For albums of a same artist, I see there is already the option to order them per year of release. Nice, but... Why is the year of release not being showed up? Could it be possible to add it in the album information?

- I see that the app assumes that two albums with the same name are the same album. In another app I have seen the option to combine albums on the basis of multiple criteria (for example album name and year or album name and artist name), and not just on the basis of the album name. Could it be possible to look at such a feature?

I realize I am asking for a lot. I am excited to have found an almost perfect player, and I would love to help you make it reach perfection.

Feater Request: Please add a progress bar or file count to the Rescan Library feature. I recently move my music to the SD card in my phone, and now it takes hours to rescan the library. It takes 5-10 sec to just access a file, longer if it is a new/changed file that needs to be re-read.
[Android Apps and Games] techguyone:
@rhmsoft I'd love the ability to have my playlists to be able to play in numerical order if specified, even if random play is selected .

Why? well I use random play pretty much for everything, but certain playlists like musicals (lets take War Of The Worlds as an example) don't really work when played out of sequence.

The ability to mark your playlist to play 'only numerically' would be awesome.

Perhaps upon playlist creation, there would be a toggle for numerical by the side of the New playlist title to denote that this playlist is only played in order.
[Android Apps and Games] Stern77:
@rhmsoft I'd love the ability to search for songs and or artists or any other wildcard search like you already have it searching inside all playlists in a way that I'll get a list of the playlists which contain the match and also being able to jump into the playlist to that position.

Is that possible?

DJ Software MAXXX has this feature. It is pretty cool.
[Android Apps and Games] bodomalo:
Hi,

I am using the App on a Tablet, but I usually hold it "horizontal"

Would there be any chance the the design could be adapted better

to that viewport?

Like: Put the album cover to the left, and have all song-titles right

Right now there is a lot of unused space just top-right, and you can only read 1 song title.

Also I would put the "actuall played song" somewhere to the right, and have more room

for the other menus (like album covers under "albums")

Would that be a lot of work?
[Android Apps and Games] ddbert66:
Hello, this is an amazing music player.✨ is there any way to have new songs recognised automatically instead of rescanning the whole library. Thanks if you see this!
[Android Apps and Games] RollincajunOutdoors:
Where are the playlists saved at? Sare they saved to a file? I need to move my playlists to a other device without having to make them all over again.

I was able to backup the playlists to a zip file and I transferred the file to the other device but the player is not allowing me to select the playlist from a file. Every time I hit restore playlist it says it cant find it. It saves the backup into the music folder and even creating a playlist on the new device and backing it up it won't even restore that playlist says no playlists found.

I can't figure out how to get the restore to work.

I have extracted the playlist from the zip file and put it inside the music folder and still nothing. It says it can't find any playlists to restore. I'm dumbfounded on how to get this to restore playlists.

EDIT: I figured out what I was doing wrong. You need to import that playlist not restore it no idea what the restore is even for. I got it working using import in case anyone has issues with it later.
[Android Apps and Games] seanybiker:
Being spending a while now looking for a perfect music app for my liking. I love this so much I bought it straight away then I realized that I can't change album art and a massive amount of my music is missing in the library even after scanning.

Not sure what's going on but I'll see can I figure it out , be a shame to get a refund off such a nice looking app. 😞
[Android Apps and Games] Crocchettone:
Hi and congratulations on the app. I would like to ask if it's possible to not download album and artist images by default, implementing the function to automatically display those available, using the first or the last one from the discography to represent the artist. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Kamigouki:
When I am in Artist view, the songs are sorted by Album -> Alphabetical, but if I am in Album view, the songs are sorted by track number. In Artist view, there is no option to sort by Album -> track number. This makes no sense. Alphabetical sorting is only useful in Artist view.
[Android Apps and Games] feeeeel:
Great music app for my off-line music collection. One feature I would love to have is a flag for favourites - especially albums. How hard would this be to add to the interface?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Could you send me a bug report? Here is how:

Once you can reproduce the problem, go to "settings" -> "misc" -> "report bug" to send me a bug report including logcat files. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] MystaMagoo:
Hey

Sent 1 report.

After some testing I think it may be related to gapless playback?

When on it seems to play ok but when off stops playing after a short while.

Turn back on and music plays.

Will turn off,wait for it to stop then send another bug rep.

Rep sent and it is related to gapless playback for sure.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Sorry for the problem, the root cause is gapless playback. It will be fixed in next release 1.0.5. Please upgrade your app to 1.0.5 then, before that, please enable gapless playback.
[Android Apps and Games] irie27:
The gapless playback is the culprit for me. Once I enable it, the files play locally just fine. If I have gapless playback disabled, the files don't play. I upgraded to 1.0.5 and everything works. I'm enjoying the app.
[Android Apps and Games] montajd:
A lot of the simplicity you cite is derived from the Material theme, which is the whole point of the player
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thank you for tons of requirements/bug reports. Here is a good place to track these issues.

I also received your mail about these issues. I will respond by email.
[Android Apps and Games] mtpx7:
I got a problem with the notification whether the track contains artwork or not (screenshot)

The controls are put to the left/right so if I want to press previous / next I go to the app instead. View attachment 4738686View attachment 4738687
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Which device type and android version are you using? Are you using any 3rd party ROM? How about press play/pause button?
[Android Apps and Games] mtpx7:
I'm using Samsung Galaxy S7 on Android 8.0.

I mean that when I go to a song that doesn't have embedded artwork, click |< or >|, to a song that does NOT have embedded artwork (or vice versa) then the |< | | >| buttons get moved to the right/left depending on the song having/not having the artwork, and because of this, I get into the app by clicking the notification instead of the control buttons ( |< or >| )

I fixed the problem by disabling artwork altogether, but that's not a fix. (Pulsar doesn't have this problem) I'll try to modify the screenshot so you can see the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I understand what you means, but I can still click the buttons even there is no embedded artwork.

I am trying to fix this problem, could you contact me using support@rhmsoft.com? Then I can share with you some temp build for you to have a test if the problem is solved.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
If you are using Android 7.0 above, this is the default media style of notification, it depends on your Android version and ROM. Omnia decided not to handle the UI part of the notification since there are so many types.
[Android Apps and Games] mtpx7:
I think it's fixed. Thanks [MENTION=6073508]rhmsoft[/MENTION].
[Android Apps and Games] hotcakes_shinku:
Does this app use resampling? On phones capable of higher than 192Khz sample rate, it plays back at the maximum, in my case 384Khz on Automatic Sample Rate. Setting Sample Rate to 192Khz also plays back at 384Khz, it doesn't force the sample rate as selected. But as long as there's resampling its okay.
[Android Apps and Games] volt26:
Does it display lyrics (from .lrc file) on the tv while it casts? That's a very important feature for me and no app anywhere does it except Musixmatch. I will gladly buy this app for this feature alone. I swear! :)
[Android Apps and Games] volt26:
I can't find the chromecast button and there is a nearby chromecast... :(
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please contact support@rhmsoft.com for this question, I need more information, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Sorry, this is not supported on Omnia.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please make sure you turned on WIFI instead of 3G/4G, and get into the same WIFI as chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] oguido:
Nice app! It'd be great if you could add the option to remember the playing time position for long tracks ;)

And the crossfading feature would even be better if it would also be applied when the user taps on to next (or previous) track manually.

Thanks for developing it, great work!

Cheers ^^
[Android Apps and Games] Eserim:
Looks good, however it took a few rescans to get the full library showing.

More testing later........
[Android Apps and Games] TheXorg:
It would be nice if you could add support resuming playback in Android Auto. If you quit Android Auto and start it again later, you cannot resume playback so you start to get the same songs again, would be nice if that could be changed :)

Two feature requests

Hi --

Omnia seems really nice so far, so thanks!

I've got a couple of feature requests, though...

1) Currently, the app does not remember the tab that I have selected between sessions. Each time I open Omnia, it opens to the Albums tab, which I never use. Could you make the user's tab choice persistent?

2) in both Omnia and Pulsar, selecting Album art from the internet almost always fails and returns the error, java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Album could not be found. This seems to happen if the album or artist title is not EXACTLY what the app is expecting to find. Is there a different way that the app could search for art so that a user can change the search term so that the search will work and not simply return an error?
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFox:
Omnia

* Updated to v1.0.8.

1) Now it shows details of mpc/wv/tta/opus files. (However, When you play these formats there will be a typo: 'bps' instead of 'kbps')

2) Still doesn't show Metadata (Tags) of mpc/wv/tta/opus files.

3) it doesn't scan and show midi files anymore.

4- More important than others, The Covers won't show in Thumbnails of lists!

s8*picofile*com/file/8357595892/Cov2.png

(Replace the stars with dots.)
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
1) kbps means more than 1000 bps, for instance, 14000bps=14kbps, but 400bps is 0.4kbps.

2) 3) I will have a check.

4) This is a new bug in this release, it will be fixed today.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFox:
Omnia

I've converted a FLAC file to an Opus [MENTION=4803112]64kb[/MENTION]ps file. That means 64 Kilo bits per second.

But in Omnia, it says: bps... bits per second! It isn't correct.

64bps will be a SUPER HORRIBLE Quality. I think it will sound like a Microbe's voice! LOL

Anyway, it only shows in Opus/tta/wv/mpc files.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I will have a check, too.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Request:

Please add option that upon pressing the Play button, it will check if the volume is set to be silent, and act accordingly. Options: do nothing, set to max/specific volume, show volume dialog.

I ask this because many times I set the media volume to be 0 , and forget about it, and when I want to hear music and press the Play button, I need to re-set the volume...

Also, BTW, there is still the bug that the list of music files don't show the album cover, yet when I play one, it shows it on its own screen (which means the music files do indeed have album covers images)...
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please send a sample music file to support@rhmsoft.com, for the album cover problem. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] picturepatil:
Hi, I have been using Poweramp Music Player. It also has Hi-Res Audio support but the audio output goes upto 384 khz, while in Omnia its max 192 khz. So can you please try upgrading it to 384 khz or more ? Also can you please work on adding Bass Boost & Virtualizer option like its in Pulsar Music Player. Else Omnia is a fab player.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please contact support@rhmsoft.com, together with your device type and android version, thanks.

Omnia

Found a bug:

1- Play a song from 'Songs' tab. Don't stop it. Let it play.

2- Go to 'Folders' or 'Albums' tab and Open a Folder/Album that includes at least 2 songs.

3- Play the Folder/Album's FIRST song.

4- Open 'Now Playing' Screen.

5- The Cover gets plain!

However, if you play the next song, Everything will be OK again and Every song's cover will be shown. including the first song's cover.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I already have sent it a few weeks ago.

Have you checked it?

It's quite a weird bug. The image is shown on playback screen (and on other places such as the notification and lock screen), but not on the list of songs.
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFox:
I think you're talking about this, right?

http://s9.picofile.com/file/8358158384/Screenshot_2019_04_22_01_39_39.png

Some songs' cover won't show in the list, but it shows in the bottom or Now Playing screen.

Faced this bug since v1.0.9.
[Android Apps and Games] mrhamed:
to prevent to use the physical volume buttons, please add an slider as volume controler.

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Exactly. Only on my cases I never saw an album cover in the list. Only everywhere else.
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFox:
Omnia

Had the same problem in v1.0.8 which got fixed quickly. it could Not show ANY cover in the songs list.

And since v1.0.9, it happened again, But this time, Only some of the covers won't show in the list.

I wish someday Omnia get as stable and bugless as Pulsar... From that day and onward, Omnia would be ready to get Major improvements and Completely ditch itself from Pulsar.
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFox:
I think the slider should appear when i tap on Cover art, And disappear when i tap on it again.

Also, I like to have some options inside the Cover art, So when i tap on it, They appear.

One of the options should be the Volume slider, Plus some other options like: Speed Adjust, Reverse Playback, A-B Repeat, Saving Cover art in Gallery, etc...
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I found your mail for this issue.

In songs list in front of each song it shows song album artwork instead of the artwork embedded in song files, for performance consideration(cannot parse every song file while scrolling).

The song you sent me does not have an album, so it's album cover is empty.

I am thinking the solution for this, this problem should be fixed in next coming release 1.1.1.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please upgrade to latest version, this problem should be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
The songs have album cover. That's why when playing them it's shown.

And you aren't supposed to load them on the UI thread. Do it in the background instead, like on other music players (example : Pulsar ).

I've found another 2 issues today:

1. I have the app set to auto-play when connected to BT. Today when I drove the car, I had to also call someone (stopped the car before doing it, of course). When the call ended, the music didn't resume, ever.

2. Maybe a bug on the app, maybe on Pixel 2, maybe on Android P, maybe on the headset : When I connected the device to BT headset, it auto-played, but every now and then the player stopped playing, even though it was still connected to BT. I need to further check it out. The only extra check I did is to play music using the app via a different device (Note 8 with Android 8.0), and it worked fine. Thing is, when I got back to checking on my Pixel 2, it also worked fine, so no idea what is the cause for it (could be the headset thinking I'm not listening).
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I will look into other issues.

"you aren't supposed to load them on the UI thread"

Sure it is not loaded in UI thread. But even in background thread it cost a lot of time, that while it is scrolling to 10th song, it is still loading the 2nd song artwork, especially when you scroll fast.
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFox:
Updated to v1.1.1:

[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
If possible, could you help to record a video how to reproduce this problem and send it to support@rhmsoft.com? I still can not reproduce this problem by following steps:

1- Play a song from 'Songs' tab. Don't stop it. Let it play.

2- Go to 'Folders' or 'Albums' tab and Open a Folder/Album that includes at least 2 songs.

3- Play the Folder/Album's FIRST song.

4- Open 'Now Playing' Screen.

5- The Cover gets plain!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I do not want to make things complex. I prefer to add this audio extension in my code in future release. Thanks.

May I ask which music still uses *.au as audio file? If possible, could you send me one sample au file for me to have a test? My app may not work with it. Please send it to support@rhmsoft.com.

Here is what I found from wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_file_format

The Au file format is a simple audio file format introduced by Sun Microsystems. The format was common on NeXT systems and on early Web pages....
[Android Apps and Games] afridi.shahriar:
I said ".au" as an example, I didn't tell u to add support for any other audio_decoders.

Rather I simply requested u to add support to add any extensioned files to be shown in library as audio files.

Actually, I have many off formats of videos, but, I want only audio to be played. So, I can do this!

A simple box, where we can add desired formats as to be consider as audio files .

Ex: (.abcd, .m4v, .flv, xyz) anything we can add there ,to, show them as audio files!

(In reality, this player can play these files as audio, if I change formats to mp3/m4a, so, decoding isn't an issue).

So, kindly add this option.

I hope, you will do that.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
This is very weird. Look at other music players then, such as Pulsar.

It is very quick there.

EDIT: Seems they've changed the UI. Now it's not shown on the list at all :(

However, when playing a single one, you can see how quickly the image gets shown, so it shouldn't be an issue to load them all in the background and show each.

Maybe there is a way to load as a thumbnail instead of a full image, which will make it faster? Or maybe something in the Android framework?

In order to get those problematic music files, you can convert YouTube videos (like I did) that have music in them. Search for "NCS music" (free music) there. You will have a lot of results. One way to convert is using "YouTube to MP3 Converter" on the PC :

[Android Apps and Games] Eserim:
Hi - I sent logs yesterday, but more details.

I go into "Edit Tags", long press on Art, select "Download From Internet" A newer, better image is displayed. I hit save and get "Operation Failed Description java.ioexception Permission Denied" I have checked and the app is listed as having relevant rights for the SD card.

Also, I have followed this route for a less known artist/CD and get a different error about not finding CD - but a similar error popup.

After I have had these two errors the entire app locks - music still plays, but unrespomsive.
