Backing out of a subfolder

I know I'm doing something stupid, but since the latest update, when I go to "Navigate" and "Select Folder", I see the tracks in the folder I'm in but can't find anything that goes "up" a folder.

So if I'm in Music/Beatles/Sgt. Pepper, I'm stuck in Sgt. Pepper and can't get back "up" to all the Beatles albums.

Mortplayer is seeing the albums, because on the player screen, I can use the left and right folder buttons to manually go through albums one at a time, but I can't get them in "Navigate". I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
[Android Apps and Games] Core Creator:
Use 'back' device button and you'll go to folders. Or use swipe to change between folders of same level. Also you must use hierarchical list mode to have ability go 'up'.

Mort, last updates make some wrong changes to the dialogs and their font color. It's almost unreadable on my phone (see pictures).
[Android Apps and Games] rockhpi:
Ok this gets dopier on my part. If the button says "Hierarchical", does that mean I am IN hierarchical mode or that is what I press to GO TO hierarchical mode? I suspect the former but before I was working with the latter...

If it says "Hierarchical" on the screen, then I can press "back" to see all my albums. But I see ALL albums on the memory card. So rather than use my folder structure: [Music/Artist/Album], it's just giving me [Music/Albums]. In the previous version I could back up to all the albums by that artist ("up" a folder to see all Beatle albums, to use the previous example).
[Android Apps and Games] Core Creator:
Your suspicion isn't correct. Pressing the button toggle to the named mode. I'm too found this confusing, IMO Mort must make more obvious method to change view mode.

When button says "Hierarchical" it means that now you see a "simple" list. In this mode all folders shown on one level. Just try to press "Hierarchical" and use 'back' button again. You must get what you want.

Mort

"Confirm folder update" still annoys me. Now it popped up if I do following:

Open Mortplayer

Press "Home"

Open Mortplayer again

I've done this several times in a row and sometimes it's not happen, sometimes it is. Rather weird glitch.
[Android Apps and Games] rockhpi:
Well neither mode worked for me. Either pressing Back got me back to the play screen or it showed me a list of all albums on my card (without regard to the folders they were in).

However, around 11 last night I turned it on and it popped up saying the 1.1.8 update had installed, and now I have "Folder up" buttons. This is in the 1.1.8 changelog so it was apparently a bug of some kind. Thanks all!

I updated yesterday night with the latest version, listened to some music while in bed, phone was off with battery completely drained when I woke up.

Process "Multimedia" was on top off the battery usage list (not the media explorer one, don't know what this "Multimedia" one does exactly).

Galaxy S I9000 on ICS CM9.
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsuya79:
No more drain with the new update.

Thanks for your work. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Player keeps on getting better and better. I agree that the batter life is improved even more in the last build.

Just something about the main screen appearance which I read a few pages back. I think that everything is fine as it is. However if you wanted to make it more holo themed, I bet something similar to the transparent bevels look would work. Just replace the rounded glass effect with a single solid line, and keep the transparency level. I have a red theme on my phone so a neutral colour like white works best unless it was calling on the system image. That's lots more work I bet considering that things look great as they are.

But then I feel that themes are pretty minor when things are as functional as they are. How long do we really stay on the main player window while listening to music.

Play/Pause Headset button not worikng

Hi,

I'm user/donator of Mort for some time. I've been experiencing a problem with my bluetooth stereo headset. Play/Pause button command from the headset is not working properly:

- It NEVER "Plays". When it is paused, it never manages to get the player to play. When I press the button on the headset, the "icon" on the screen switches for a second from the play "arrow" to the the pause sign; you can also hear the sound for a second as well, but then the player goes back to paused.

- Only sometimes, when it is playing, it manages to Pause.

- Skip back, Skip forward buttons work correctly

- Play/Pause from headset works perfectly on the default music player.

- I'm using stock ICS

Hardware: Galaxy S 2 with a Jabra BT3030 dog tag (Jabra street).

I saw this question elsewhere here, but did not manage to find any answer from Mort.

I would be grateful if someone or Mort can advise.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mbernstein:
Concerning the above:

- If I press Play/Pause two times in a row (not two fast click, with a short gap between clicks) I can Pause, but not Play.

- The same behavior occur in Mort Music Player.

- Other Audiobook players have no such issue, so it seems to be in the software itself.

If there is no solution for the problem right now, I ask at least to please acknowledge if it has been taken note and if it is being taken care of. This is really annoying bug in an otherwise great program.

Thanks.

Need Help

When i choose folder & play the list

it does not play back from the song & position I stopped it

Can you please tell me the setting i need to do for it ?

All i need is, to play the song from the same place i stopped it at

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] mbernstein:
All the same happens in Galaxy S 3, my new phone. It is a pity that Mort is not answering about this issue...

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

I believe you should disable "Update Folder Structure": Configuration>settings>intialization>update folder structure

Put never, or only after SD insertion etc.

That's what I did, and it worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] ilordvader:
thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] TheRec:
Hi,

Thanks for this application, it is awesome!

When I select a folder it will play only the files that are inside it (or its subdirectories) which is exactly what I'm looking for, but is it possible to preserve this selection after the application has been closed? Currently when I close MortPlayer (and there is no playback running) and start it again I have to make this selection again as it is not saved. I know I could use playlists, but unfortunately the folder I select has more than 1000 files in it (it is a podcasts collection which I go through randomly thanks to the shuffle and repeat options Mortplayer has) and loading a playlist that large seems to make MortPlayer lag and sometimes crash so it is not really an option. I've tried using the "Save and restore "repeat track" but this only works for the repeat mode and not for the folder selection.

A workaround I found is to change the "Folder to read" to only look through this directory but I don't really want to have to update the whole directory structure each time I want to select this, it seems more logical to have a way to save the current selection.

So my question is: Is there a way to save the folder selection and restore it the next time MortPlayer starts?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Mort:
So far, there isn't. IMHO, the risk is too high the selection is restored quite a while after last usage, and the user complains why the player doesn't play all the folders.
[Android Apps and Games] TheRec:
Yeah this is true. Well I suppose I will just redo the selection each time as it really isn't possible to handle such a large playlist with a m3u in MortPlayer.

Maybe it would be possible to add it as an opt-in solution, like the "Save and restore "repeat track"" feature? But I suppose it would be more complicated than just saving a setting in terms of development. Oh well if you have a suggestion/idea list, I hope you consider adding this one to it, it could be useful :)

Thanks again for the great player!

BT Headset Fix -

Well, I didn't get an answer from Mort about my BT Headset not doing Play/Pause correctly, but I got a fix! Version 1.2 of Music Player solved my problems. Now:

Please do the same BT Fix for the Audio Book!

Thanks!!!

nevermind - the ROM was just bad.
[Android Apps and Games] the_r_sole:
is there a limit to the amount of music you can add, everytime i add my music folder it get a wee bit down the list and then crashes, if you wait for it to respond it just gives the same error two seconds later, so force close, re-open, same thing every time - only way to stop the loop is to uninstall but happened 4 times when trying to add the music folder
[Android Apps and Games] paja_slovany:
there is some possibility-use older version,few months ago mort player remembered playlist and position in mp3 even across reboots,it was very usefull(if you can find it somewhere)

given the player is folder based,it assumes user knows something about his/her device,so he knows he added and should rescan,so,+1 from me to add it back as option:)

actually it is remembering position just before folder selection windows jumps in front of player(i can definitely see position of slider on the right song and time,but it jumps right at start after pressing back)

now how to force this window not to appear... :)

on the other side...

thanks for nice player,in the times of gingerbread,could not find anything better and i believe it is still one of the best!

Audio Book

Sorry to repeat my issue, but I don't understand this lack of support for Audio Book player. If Music Player is fixed, this should be a very fast fix for Book Player, but nothing, not even a response...
[Android Apps and Games] shinyford:
MortPlayer AudioBook player and m4b

Hi - I have a question about file handling of m4b audiobooks.

Mortplayer plays these great, but I'd like to be able to navigate between individual tracks within the book (just as I can when a book is downloaded as multiple mp3 files in a folder) using the |<< and >>| controls; also, to see progress through a track rather than through the entire book (again, just as I can with a folder of mp3s).

Is this available as an option? If not, could it be?

Apologies if this is a repeat of a query elsewhere - I have searched, but been unable to find any mention.

Cheers

Nic Ford

I just noticed the holo themes. It looks great!

Just a minor thing (not even an issue). In the holo theme, the divider bars are always blue, so if I use a different coloured theme, the upper bar no longer matches. Certainly a very minor aesthetic thing.

Hi everyone .

Excuse me for my bad english, but i hope someone to help me :)

I'm new in this site and this is my first post and likely to allow a lot of mistakes ..

So one more time excuse me ..

The MortPlayer is the best choice for me for music player :)

it's simple , look great , and powerful functionality :)

But there is one thing I want to change and i don't know how...

I'm not android developer and do not understand the programming :)

so my idea is only to make some icon invisible :)

I searched on google how to do it and realized that maybe with APK Manager can be..

so i'm trying but nothing is changed, therefore I decided to share the idea here :)

I uploaded two sample picture to show you what i actually want :)

I use the version that is MortPlayer Music Version 1.2.3

Thank you in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mort:
Nothing changed there. However, that feature's only in the audio books version, it'd be too confusing if music would start in the middle of a track.

What I've been talking about was restoring a selection of folders the playback's been limited to.

I'm aware the audio book version needs an update. It's just that the music version had lots of changes, which often I can't just move to the audio book version without having to move others as well, which I don't want to move right now. Some, because I'm not too happy with how they worked out (or too many users aren't), some, because it'd need a lot of additional work to get it working fine with the audio book player (esp. the new device based data storage and bookmarks).

However, I'll check again what can be ported without too many side effects...
[Android Apps and Games] mbernstein:
I appreciate. Thanks

Hi,

I have some basic requests for the main screen of MortPlayer Music. They would be very useful for me and hopefully for other users as well. :)

1. Display the "album year" after the album name. For example: Essential Collection (2005)

2. Display the "track number" (from song's tags) before the track title. For example: 5. In Your Eyes

3. Display somewhere the total number of tracks in the current folder/playlist being played. Perhaps this could be merged with #2 above. For example: 2/11. In Your Eyes

All of the above could be optional settings - user could select them in the "main screen appearance" settings if they want them.

Great player. Thanks for making it free. :thumbup:

sort by modified date

Ekhem, Hello Mort! :laugh:

I have a question, if it is possible to add the new option to MortPlayer for android: "sort by modified date"? I know there is "sort by created date" already, but unfortunately, windows after copying files changes the creation date to the present time, and the date when we got this file for the first time stays only in "modified date".

Now after copying my files to windows and back to my smartphone, I can't have my tracks in the order i had for a long time, by the date i got every file.

So, I wish there was "sort by modified time" option, and I think it would help other people too :)

(the other great thing would be, if we could choose what kind of sorting we want in every simple folder, so i could choose "sort by numbers" in the folder with CD music, and "sort by modified date" in the folder with random songs - but it's not that important :angel: )

Why does Mortplayer constantly needs to read the folder data

hi, i have a little annoying problems:

1) When I stop Mortplayer to do something else and then come back to it, it displays Reading Folder Data and it takes awhile to complete like 30 seconds or so. What's annoying is it does this most of the time when you exit the program and then come back to it.

2) sometimes when i want to change the track using media button on headphones, player just stops and resume playing after ~1min
[Android Apps and Games] mythenmetz:
Hey, i really like the MortPlayer. The only thing i would like to have is the possibility to add more then 1 song to queue, and that after the queue list is finished, it jumps to the song before queue list started...

My Mort Player doesn't scrobble. :(

Installed Last FM App, Simple Last FM and ScrobbleDroid. In neither of these Apps the player is recognized.

Any suggestions? Am using AOKP Milestone 1 as ROM.

I really enjoy Mort, I even think about making a small donation.
[Android Apps and Games] Evo_Shift:
I am running CM10 (jelly bean) and when I press the play button Mortplayer Audiobook will not play the track. If I tap on the timeline it will start playing though. It's not a huge problem except that it means I cannot use the lockscreen controls to start and stop the tracks because there is no timeline to tap on to get them started again. I would leave feedback in the actual play store but I refuse to sign up for google + and this is maybe a better place to leave this kind of feedback anyway?. I love this app and use it all the time so hopefully it can get sorted.

Mortplayer Audiobook and Bluetooth

Hi guys,

I currently have a problem that should be obvious to solve, but I haven't figured it out yet.

I rooted a Nexus 7 (WiFi, 16GB), forcing Android to stay on 4.1.2 (because in 4.2.1, Bluetooth hitches constantly when using WiFi).

I have the Motorola BH-503 and Sennheiser MM100 (Both Bluetooth 2.0 headsets with A2DP and headset functionality; you'll see why I state this is a second). Both headsets act similarly.

I'm talking about MortPlayer Audio Books. It's the latest version from the Play Store.

Right out of the box, this is what happens; I cannot fix it:

On the main screen, if I press Bluetooth play button, the audiobook starts playing then immediately pauses. This happens every time.

When the player runs in background, Bluetooth remote acts normally (play/pause button work as expected).

If I go to the headset settings in the player and make the play/headset button do nothing (where, originally, it was set to play/pause):

On the main screen, Bluetooth remote acts normally (play/pause button work as expected).

When the player runs in background, I cannot use the play/pause button at all (no response).

I think the problem is that the player is hooking into two controls at the same time: in main screen, it has it's own controls, plus it's hooking into some headset controls from Android; in background, it just has it's own controls.

May anyone please help?
[Android Apps and Games] gildof:
Screenshots?
[Android Apps and Games] Ostratego:
My apologies for being rude, but screenshots of what?

It's not a problem with any visuals. The only thing that could be considered visual is that on the main screen, the play button turns into a pause button then quickly into a play button; it needs a video, it's obvious what's happening visually, and I've just explained all the visual anomalies.

So again, I ask you, screenshots of what?
[Android Apps and Games] mbernstein:
I have the exact same problem. I reported a few months back (much less detailed). Mort knows about it and the behavior is fixed on the Music Player. He is still to port the solution to the Audiobook player, though. He said he was looking into it, but no news since.

Anyway, thanks for your thorough description. Now I have a work around at least. I've never noticed that putting the Audiobook in the background made the Bluetooth regain control of play/pause. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bedge:
I have the exact same problem with CM10.

In november sometime, the cyanogenmod ROMs for the Sprint (US) Samsung S3 started having a problem with the mort AB player (the music one has no problem), When you tap play the play icon changes to a pause icon, no there's no audio. You have to hit 'skip back' to get the audio to start playing.

I know this sounds very minor, but it renders the headset controls useless because if you ever pause it, hitting play from the headset button does what I mentioned above, it looks like it should be playing, but there's no audio.

I've been testing each new nightly build for the last month and they all have this problem, The last ROM that does not have this issue with the Mort AB player is 20121118-experimental one.

I hope this can be fixed on the mort player side as I'd hate to have to go find a new player, but the lack of headset play/pause is a big deal.

Music playback lagging

Mort,

I'm experiencing lags during music playback since a few builds of CM10 for Motorola Defy (Quarx' ROM). This is mainly happening when I try to unlock my screen, previously I also experienced it when I did some processing power intensive task (e.g. when clicked in a text field to display the Swiftkey keyboard). There's no problem with the stock music player (Apollo). I assume both are using the stock API for playback, is there anything that can be done about this (rise the priority of the playback process, use a longer buffer)?
[Android Apps and Games] bedge:
Update, the CM10 12-24-23 SIII build no longer has this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] karay2:
Rolled back to previous version of CM which resolved the problem for now.

Side buttons not changing the volume in standby

On my (borrowed/new) Samsung S2 when i am using Mort and the screen goes into standby, the volume buttons default to next track/pause/previous track.

Yet, on my previous phone (Desire) when the screen was off, the volume buttons would control.... the volume :laugh:

This setting is much better for me.

My question: How would I change it so the volume buttons change the volume when the screen is off.
[Android Apps and Games] Sine.:
You can change this in Preferences > Configuration > Headphone.
[Android Apps and Games] kuztardd:
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have sorted it.

under Menu > Configuration > Preferences > Headset :

there are plenty of submenus there (under button actions):, which include:

Play/Headset button

2x play headset

3x play headset

4x play headset

5x play headset

Play/Headset Long

skip forward

skip forward long

skip back

skip back long

And under these menus none of the choices include VOLUME. They only have stop/pause/ffwd/nxt track etc etc

(although i have found that The "skip back "button related to the galaxy's volume up and down button)

Is there somewhere else I should be looking for the volume option
[Android Apps and Games] maxisma:
Looking nice! But please make it look good too ;-) Contact one of the themers or so..
[Android Apps and Games] Mort:
Works fine for me, as long as it's somewhat "standard" compliant.

That is, so far:

- JPG and PNG format, even with "image/jpg" type which isn't officially allowed

- Image types 0 ("other") and 3 ("front cover")

- ID3 header size "synchsafe" (only 7 bits of a byte are used), tag sizes not "synchsafe". This is ridiculous and non-standard, but what most taggers do...

You could try "Reload folders" in menu. There's been a buggy version which saved "there's no cover" flags for files which contained covers, and tag data (including this flag) isn't updated until the file's removed or a manual reload is started. This version was only available for a few minutes, but you might've got it...
[Android Apps and Games] Branwen:
Working well.

But...

I seem to be having the same trouble with album art/ID3 tags - but this might be due to wrong implementation at my end (album.jpg in the folder works fine, so ill assume its my fault :).

It also only seems to load 5 folders when I was skipping forward (just looped between 4 & 5) but if I go backwards, it goes through them fine.

And just loaded it again, and its doing the same thing. Works for a couple and then just loops 2
