It's not needed to load json after saving.

I put the "eye" button to check what is last saved/readed json because I was not able to update the string after saving. So once you save it, it's done.

It's not mandatory and probably better to not save after a sort.

Sorting will sort just the current list (presets)but json file will not be updated.

I beleive that you'd like to check your presets before saving/updating the json file, so why you have to open again the Management window to save it.

If you wish to save the list in the json file you can do it anytime.

Your point 1 and 2 are working as you described here and there is no need to reload any json to have things sorted.

I will make a video showing how I thouht it should work.

About the issue creating the Logo I'll try to investigate more but I still beleive that your gallery is not refreshed and when you select a logo actually it is not there.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I will also make a video, to show what I am seeing at my end.

(1) Sort by Frequency NOT working ...

The sort by Frequency is not doing a sort.

The sort by Name does, but here in the USA, the names are so messed up, that a sort by name is virtually a sort to Random order.

Video shows that Sort by Frequency is NOT sorting the Preset Station List

VIDEO: Sort by Freq Not working

(2) Sort by Station name works

VIDEO: Sort by StationName working

(3) If a NEW station is Created, if it has RDS and can match a Logo file, then, when creating the station, the LOGO is populated, and gets saved.

However, if the station does NOT have RDS, (or cannot match Logo filename), then, initially, in the CREATE STATION, there is no logo.

However at this time, a logo can be Manually selected.

It is when the CREATE STATION screen is SAVED (with a manually entered logo displaying), the Logo is not saved.

I do not follow the theory that the Gallery is not refreshed, because the Create Station is finding the logo in Gallery.

1. Correct there is a tiny bug in sort "0-100" that stopped it working as it should.

A version 1.69 is coming with the fix.

Sort by name of course for americans doesn't make sense because of the different naming method

2. Here is my video showing that it work correctly: https://youtu.be/hbYQ5E6CEWs

I can't reproduce your bug, sorry.

Can you tell me if PTY infos are correct now for you?
[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
Your Video clearly shows it working. (On a MTC or Allwinner unit ????????? )

My Video shows it does not work (for me on my Eonon MTC Head Unit)

I have a Allwinner unit -- I will update that and try on that.

Maybe its a MTC - Allwinner issue

yes, PTY information is now correct on my MTC Unit -- Thank you ....

Just waiting on FCC now to be able to display it in the FCC Widgets :)

Then I can just live with it .. must be something Odd at my end ... Nobody else seems to be reporting it not working ..

Its really not a big deal, as manually Creating a Station is not something one does that often, so it's not a big deal to have to go in and edit the Station after creating it.

Tried navradio+ on my Roadlover Allwinner (RL-YZGHC801) (T3-A7 [1024 x 600] MMC Android 6.0) 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM (Not Rooted)

Not too sucessfull.. although RDS was enabled in the head Units setup, No RDS information appeared, in either Navradio+ or the Oem Radio App.

Alos, the unit Navradio+ stopped runnimng a lot on it, so I gave up.

One thing I did notice though.

On The Allwinner T3, in NavRadio+, there is an option to select COUNTRY, (in my case USA)

When running on the Eonon (MTCE) , that option does not appear, but it seems to be defaulting to USA, as I can only select USA states to download.

Latest Beta - Sort by Frequency now working great -- Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
There are Allwinner T3 made by different manufacturers, NavRadio is compatible only with TopWay based units. You can recognize it by mcu type.

If your MCU number start with T5..... It's probably TopWay made.

Anyway if NavRadio can play sound and change station then means it's compatible otherwise it's not

Regarding RDS, I don't know, we first need to know if it's compatible. Better if you send me a picture of the system information screen.

On MTC the radio region can be set in factory settings only.

On Allwinner can be set in the app.

This depend on MCU handling that is totally different between each brand and make difficult porting an all to other devices.

Installs & Runs.

Can Tune Radio Stations.

Can Scan.

Can change Theme

Can Sort

Can Save & Restore json

Stops running (or at least Radio stops playing) when I go HOME

(Launcher is "Car Launcher")

Will not save Logo - NavRadio+ Crashed after one is selected, and tries to return to NavRadio+

NO RDS showing -- although RDS is turned on for Radio.

(Do not see any RD info in OEM radio App either)

The BIG One:

If I change Interface from Default Vertical Station list, to Horizontal, navradio+ crashes

There after, when it tries to load, it crashes, while on the LOADING screen

Have to Uninstall & RE-Install to get it to load and run.

It is not a BIG DEAL to me thatt there are issues on this Allwinner unit. It's not in my car, I just use it as a Radio in the office.

I can test navradio+ on it, if it helps in the navRadio+ APP development, otherwise, I am happy to just move on.

I'll send you a PM with a link to a Video, showing the above (Video shows some personal Information, so I will not post the link here in the forum)

[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION]: Thanks for implementing the new features in version 1.68 / 1.69, which are very welcome additions! :cool:

Today I tested version 1.69 a bit and found some small bugs and some errors in the German translation:

It's not possible to restore a station list when the file path and/or file name is too long, because then the Cancel and OK buttons are out of reach (please see attached screenshot #1).

It's OK that only alphanumeric file names are allowed, but currently we cannot use "-" as a separator, only "_" (please see attached screenshot #2). Please allow "-" too, because I like to use it when adding a date to the filename, and also I see no reason that " " (Space) shouldn't be allowed, since almost all Androit apps allow it in file names.

In the station list management window, the correct German translation is "ABBRECHEN" and "SORTIERE LISTE" instead of "AUSFAHRT" and "SORTIERLISTE" (please see attached screenshot #3).

In the station edit window, the correct German translation is "OK" instead of "AUFNEHMEN" (please see attached screenshot #4), the same applies in the list saving window (please see attached screenshot #2).

Not a bug, but a missing important security check: When the user clicks on "delete list", the user should be asked: "Are you sure? - Cancel / OK".

In the feature list for version 1.68 you wrote:

Are you in contact with [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] about supporting the ALBUM fild in the FCC player widget and do you know if he's planning to implement it? Lately it has become a bit quiet on his FCC thread and I didn't even get a response from him yet about the remaining NavRadio+ integration issues that I reported on 3th and 4th of June. :(
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok I'll have a look and will try to fix your issues.

I sent a Pm to [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] but i had no reply either. I confirm he's on "quiet mode" :)
[MTCD Software Development] Elzaa:
Loving the app, definitely an upgrade from the stock radio! Thanks for your efforts my dude. Having a few issues though which I was hoping to get help with (using latest paid version from play store).

1. Cannot save channel logos. I can select them in the customise channel menu and they show a preview in the customise channel menu, but hitting save has no effect and the logo is gone when I go back to the customise menu. (Using a custom PNG or JPG)

2. I can select Australia and download the zip of channel logos and extract, but I can't find the logos anywhere, any tips to locate? Using a Dasaita Max6 with stock firmware.

3. The channel text data is tiny in full screen mode (and still quite small in regular mode). I bought the app mostly hoping for bigger and easier to check text - on my usual station it shows the current song. In contrast the station frequency is huge and takes up 1/3 of the screen without conveying any really useful information. Is there any way this can be made more prominent?

Thanks again for what you've made :)
[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
2; The Logos should be in a folder /RadioLogos off the root of your units Ram Drive (Not any addod memory cards, GPS Sdards etc)

There should be a ZIP file there, named "Australia.zip ??? and a folder called Australia, containing all the logo files.

I think they have to be png (not jpeg) and no need to bigger than 250 x 250

I also have a similar problem, I can see the selected logo in the CREATE STATION screen, but it does not save.

It does however save, when selected & saved in the EDIT Station screen.

Sound like you cannot save a Logo on any Screen :(
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Here is a more complete video showing the Australian logos assignement:

video

In the Australia zip files there are a few folders:

Adelaide-RadioLogos

Brisbane_Radio_Logos

Melbourne Radio Logos

Perth Radio Station Logos

SthAus-RadioLogos

Sydney FM Car Radio Logos

Various Australian Logos

If you use the Google Gallery app to browse the images, you mostly just need to refresh o brose the correct folder.

Gallery shows only the files that have been scanned by itslef or added to its database by other apps. NavRadio add the images to the Gallary database while extracting files.

If database is not updated correctly can happen that gallery shows images that are not actually there so i suggest you to try any other file browser to browse for the images.

TotalCommander have always worked flawlessy.

EDIT: I see now that names of folders contain spaces that could be a problem.

I'd like to know if these folders are ok for you or if it will be better to have all the logos in just one folder.

I also would like to ask you if you can see the Sid number when you edit any station.

If Sid number is received then I have to rearrange the folders.

For last: what radio region do you use in Australia? What is set in factory settings as region?

EDIT2: I made a new zip file with all logos in just 1 folder. Please download again the Australia.zip and let's see it can assign the logos automatically by name.

If it doesn't then try assigning them in the same way i showed in the video.

Pleasse let me know how it goes ;)

Thanks -- Using Total Commander solved my problem with the LOGO Image not being saved from the Create Station screen.

But every time I go to select a Logo, it seems to take me to the same old( Hidden, built in ? ) File manager, and then each time I have to select Total Commander.

Is there a way to get navRadio+ when getting logo, to always use Total Commander , or a way to make Total Commander the default File Manager for ALL Apps ?

Tried to Google this, and got totally lost !!!
[MTCD Software Development] Elzaa:
Hey thanks for the advice! I was just using the default file browser so could only access "Downloads" and "Recent files" so I couldn't see the logo folder, my bad. Can access the files just fine now using Root Browser.

When I rescanned the stations, about half of the stations auto-select the image correctly, the others ask me to select from a huge list. Seems to be showing the entire list of station images, quite tedious to scroll through so many to find the right one. One station let me select from just two images which seemed more like the intended behaviour. The images stayed correctly set via this function.

Selecting a custom image (even from the new AUSTRALIA folder of icons downloaded) for a station still doesn't save properly though when editing a channel. I can select the image and see a preview of it in the channel edit window, but it gets deleted when I hit save.

To answer your other questions:

It would be better to have the icons separated into area-based sub folders for easier browsing if this is possible :)

I can see the SID just fine.

My radio region is set to Australia in factory settings.

Edit: I saw your advice to use total commander - that's working great now for selecting station images - thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok then, the next step will be to find a site that have a list of the radio stations picodes (Sid) so the assignment of the logos can be fully automatic and other functions that actually work in Europe can work in Australia too.

I'll really appreciate if you can help me finding that site with pi codes.

Just Updated (and then when there were issues) Re-installed lastest beta as of June 20-2020 (all excited to try Find Logo by freq !!!)

Problem is that in Full Screen, any attempt to Change Station by SHORT press on Station, or a LONG PRESS to edit, results in NavRadio+ Closing.

It also tends to close at other seemingly random times, but have not been able to identify exactly when.

However, it ALWAYS now closes, on a Preset Selection, either SHORT or LONG Press.

Hopefully, this can be easily fixed, as at the Moment, it renders NavRadio+ almost unusable :(

[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please when you test NavRadio be sure you don't have the original radio running too.

Then please test it with default launcher too.

We know that there are still issues with FCC so it's not a good way to test the new NavRadio functions.

Just to let you know, I didn't make any big changes to justify all the crashes you are experiencing.

I just added a command to make the buttons play a beep when pressed...

EDIT: ...and I can confirm that FCC close NavRadio when receiving that command.:(
[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
OK, so I went back and tested it with the default launcher, and all the issues I reported went away.

Went back to FCC, and they all came back.

But I only updated navradio+

Before I did todays update, navRadio+ was NOT having these issues with FCC

But yes, I will now mainly test navRadio+ without FCC, until such time, that it is expected that the two will play together better.

A temporary compromise is to do all the navradio+ setting up in OEM launcher, and then I can "RUN" navRadio+ as a Player in FCC (as long as I now do not try to edit stations when running under FCC)

Maybe its the "Beeping" BEEP !!!!!

So, when run with OEM launcher, should it be doing Frequency scrapping yet, if no SID ?? or is that still work in progress ?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I confirm that the command to beep cause FCC to close NavRadio.

Don't ask me why...
[MTCD Software Development] okij:
Maybe the beep command is being recognized as a separate music player app and [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] implemented it in a way that FCC kills the other app (NavRadio+ in this case) to avoid double sound?

See:

P.S.: Maybe you should add an option to disable the beep command as a temporary workaround?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Yes, infact after killing NavRadio it open the original radio automatically too.

I already communicated this behaviour to SpeedFire, let's see what he reply.
[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
Thanks for testing and confirming .. I thought my whole head unit was breaking down !!!

Since it seems we cannot go back to a previous version, even if we export that previous version, (Play Store playing games ? ) could you update a beta, without that beep, for the time being.

How are you doing the Beep ???

and

tonegenerator-crash-android
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
The beep is made using an internal function of MTC MCU that play the beep. It's not a media player thing and it's not a crash of my app.

It's FCC that send a command to close NavRadio when it receive that beep broadcast and start the original radio app.

I'll wait for a reply from [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] before doing anything about it.

If you want to go back to previous (official) version you can abandon the beta testers group, uninstall the beta and get the previous one.

You can get back in the betas at anytime

Edit: FCC new 3.370v5 version have fixed the beep problem
[MTCD Software Development] liamstears:
You have added an intentional beep? Why why why would you do this to me? Lol

I hate beeps and I intentionally turn them off

Please add an option to turn off beeps...
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Beeps were already there in all clickable things except the stations buttons.

Bottom bar buttons, setinngs whatever thing was beeping expect those buttons.

For uniformity I just added the beeps where they were missing.

Because I cannot remove "the other" beeps (I beleive they are controlled by MTC devices) I don't see the point of adding such setting option.

[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION]: As you know I'm using the FCC player widget to control NavRadio+. Besides the remaining integration issues which still need to be fixed and which I summarized in post #6392 on [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]'s FCC thread yesterday, I now saw a small issue about how the station name and RDS info are displayed.

I have set up the FCC player widget to display the artist in the first line and the title in the second line, with a smaller font size. While DAB-Z sends the station name as artist and the RDS info as title via metadata broadcasts (please see 1st attached screenshot), NavRadio+ is doing it the other way around (plase see 2nd attached screenshot).

Therefore I would like to ask you to either switch these broadcasts (i.e. station name = artist and RDS info = title) or to (preferably) add an option so that the user can decide for himself.

Also I would like you to add an option for how long the NavRadio+ menus are shown. Currently they time out after ~5 seconds, but I would like to have them shown for a bit longer.

P.S. Thanks a lot for fixing the issues that I listed in post #608 in version 1.70! There's still one typo left, it must be "SORTIERE LISTE" instead of SORTIERE LIST" (so the last "E" currently is missing).

In the navradio settings you can set what information is to be displayed in each of the 3 lines;)

Because I'm not making long trips with my car lately and because I cannot reproduce it well on the units on my desk, I need to know if this is really happening to everybody or it's just a matter of MCU or any other special set up a user can have.

I do not think that AF is used very much, if at all, in the USA.

Would a given station with AFs,, have all it;s AF station have the same PI ?

If so, I cannot really see any Station in the USA that seem to have AFs, ( but quite a few that seem to have registered duplicate Pi !!)

I believe here in the USA, we tend to have Low Power SATELLITE stations, on the same frequency as the Main Station, to act a a Fill in weak reception areas, that are meant to be covered by the main transmitter.

ie

Station PID Freq F.ID City State
KSQN 4135 103.1 88483	COALVILLE	UT
KSQN-FM2	4135	103.1	161878	OGDEN	UT
KSQN-FM4	4135	103.1	161875	SALT LAKE CITY	UT
KSQN-FM6	4135	103.1	161874	PROVO	UT
KSQN-FM7	4135	103.1	165021	SALTLAKE	UT
KSQN-FM8	4135	103.1	161876	PARK CITY	UT
KSQN-FM9	4135	103.1	161877	BOUNTIFUL UT

Here is a Excel Spreadsheet, with ALL USA FM stations (including low power satellite stations), but AF does not seem to be present..

=============

Added: From Wikipedia

So in the USA, we do not have Alternative Frequencies, but rather , satellite station as fill in station on the SAME frequency.

I assume that must work, and that two Same Frequency stations to do NOT suffer from varying Constructive and Destructive interference, as one moves relative to the two stations.

ie USA does not seem to have a "National Broadcasting Stations setup" , with stations spread out across the USA, transmitting the identical programming, on different frequencies. (Unlike say BBC Radio 1 or BBC Radio 2 might have in the UK)
