So I am still using this player after years. And its still the best for my needs.

But now, Google has released play music here in Ireland and I am wondering if at some point if week be possible to add the "downloaded to Google music" folder added to the list of searched folders. I know the location of the music (its in /data/data/com.Google.Music/ or somewhere). They are also stored as normal mp3s. However, considering its location, I am going to guess it will be very difficult to access that folder in a normal way...

Oh one other minor thing that doesn't affect me most of the time. Opening a music files from a file manager like root explorer will add that file to a play list. It would be nice to have an option where if the music file is played instantly and once completed, the now playing list goes back to the previous list. For example, if I have 3 folders playing on random and I open a mp3 from a different folder by root explorer, I would like it to play once then return to playing the 3 folders on random again, rather than adding to a play list.

OK long paragraph for just one minor details. ;)

Thanks for making this player!

GmusicFS exactly does this for you.

See my latest posts for more on this.

Oh that really seems to work well! Thanks!

Right, playing around with GmusicFS and I found a way to get the music to play from the Google music cloud, but it breaks upon system reboot.

In the "folder to read" page, it lists (on a nexus device anyway) each of the paths to the same place. What I mean is that in a nexus, the storage is read to these paths:

/storage/emulated/0

/storage/emulated/legacy

They are the same location, but different ways to the same location. I think it is done this way to support legacy apps.

Really it doesn't matter which of these paths is selected for music stored locally. Under each path you can add /gmusicfs/ and /music/ so read just those folders.

However, the GmusicFS folder will only work correctly if there is only one if those storage locations listed in the "folders to read" page. It will cause Mort to do things such as hang or not show the folder if both paths are in "folders to read". So either one of the two can be removed.

However, on system reboot, both locations are again in the "folders to read" page and the sync doesn't work because of that.

I am just sharing this as a work around, not as a suggestion to fix something.

Whether GmusicFS works or not is not an issue with this player - that is just a result of Google's implementation of the storage which most will agree is very minor. I think this issue is only on nexus devices.

Mort correctly reads the storage locations on launch, and while it would be nice if GmusicFS worked instantly after each reboot, I would not expect great effort in changing how things work right now.

Thinking about it. Any change that could fix that, would likely cause difficulties on other devices that have sdcard slots etc. Unless it would simply be a case of blacklisting the legacy folder from being added by default on nexus devices. Could be more trouble than its worth considering how well things work as it is.

I'm trying to track down a problem I'm having with newer builds of CM 10.1 - I think something was changed in the kernel that's preventing Mort Audio Books from working, even though other media programs work just fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the calls it uses to play audio. The new builds (see 4-16 logcat.txt) play a loud click when the app starts but there's no other sound. The old builds (see 4-8 logcat.txt) - well it just plays fine.

One of the devs tested it out, he's leaning towards a problem in the app:

Mort, It seems, gmusicfs uses the android media library to store the playlists, while mortplayer uses standard m3u playlist format, which results in though synced gmusicfs playlists are not being available for use in mortplayer. As far as I understand this, there are two possibilities to get this running...

1. Gmusicfs app will be able to convert android media library playlists to m3u playlists which then can be imported to mortplayer.

2. Mortplayer app will get access to the android media library to use system stored playlist format.

Mort?

I'm having the same issue. I just installed CM10.1 RC1, and now all my audio through Mort Player is in mono, left channel. I checked my MP3's to make sure they were encoded in stereo. Sure enough, it's only Mort Player.
[Android Apps and Games] mbc663:
This is reported over and over and over. It's not just mort, try Google music, same thing. It's a Rom issue that will be fixed
[Android Apps and Games] fnordmotorco:
Bizarre. Google music is the only one I didn't try. I have stereo in amazon mp3 player, spotify, and apollo, just not mort and google music. Thanks for the heads up!

Odd question, let's see if someone here can answer it? I'm using an app called "automagic" that lets me use flow charts to do tasks based on conditions.

the question is : what is the main process of the app that is killed if, as if i drag mortplayer to "app info" and hit "force stop" ?

I'm trying to make the app get killed in the same way, but all i've found so far that affects it is this : kill app process : TERM(15) to de.stohelit.folderplayer

which makes the music stop, then "control audio player : media button play/pause" resumes whatever track was playing, from the start (not where it was)

and i'm not sure if it's kicking it enough to stop the android auto-pause of 30 minutes, or not. it seems like killing the app with force stop does, so i want to simulate that.

Unless someone knows a better way to get around that auto-pause. I use my player at work all day, and the pause every 30 minutes tends to happen in the middle of a great song, and annoy the crap out of me.

For reference here is my auto magic flow chart..

Turns out then issue was moodagent player. I kept looking at the logs using catalog and noticed moodagent had a ''focus helper'' that was asking for audio focus every 30 minutes, and killing the audio focus process because it wasn't actually playing any audio. So I uninstalled moodagent and voila, music all afternoon with no breaks.

Love the app. Been using it daily for years now. One request though, can there be an option to hide the continuous icon that sits in the status bar while the player is active? Searched all through the options and couldn't find a way. Thanks for the hard work!

The website sto-helit.de has been down for a while now. Anyone know what's going on there? Is this dead? I noticed that the audiobook version of the player hasn't received an update on ages :(

After having used MortPlayer for several years now as my one and only favorite music player (since WM6.1 times) i now switched over to the commercial player poweramp pro and i didn't regret it so far. I have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed that Mort seems having abandoned the development of MortPlayer or at least this thread. He doesn't respond to suggestions or questions for months now. I have by choice donated several times to Mort for his products in the past few years. They were cool, innovative and full featured. Mort improved them actively. But now it seems that competitors have catched up with quality and support. So it's time for a change for me. Bye and thanks for a great universal music player which i used with pleasure for such a long time.

I have the same issue with the volume going up to full blast at random times which is really annoying. I was just using it and it happened 3 times in 10 minutes. I did not have the bass boost on, but I did have the equalizer on. Since reading this comment, I turned off the equalizer and the high volume bug seems to be gone now.

That is my only minor complaint about this app. It is great in every other way. :)

Hi Mort - Firstly, I have to say I absolutely LOVE this app.

Just updated to 1.2.5, and was coming here to ask about a feature I couldn't find... then I realized I installed your music app instead of the audiobook one which I had before :silly:

One question I do have though: Was there ever a setting that would change the volume level when the app started?

I can't seem to find it anymore, and now I wonder if it was ever there in the first place...
[Android Apps and Games] kengohan:
Hello Mort ! Thank you for make the best app for listen my music !

I have a question for you

I use your app in my car, I scratch my Archos It 70 on my car and I love to see the giant cover.

but my Archos is dead and I buy a galaxy tab 2. When I selected drawer (giant cover) I don't have a giant cover.

For information I tested with my phone galaxy note 2 and I don't have the problem, my cover is giant.

Do you have a solution for that?

Thank you very much for all!

I have been using mortplayer ( audiobook ) for years. I just got a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and since then mortplayer has been acting weird. Sometimes the play/pause button fails to actually play. The image changes like the press was registered but the file fails to actually play. No amount of toggling makes is play but if I click on the position slider it will then play.

Could it be something related to the screen size causing this? I have rooted the note 3 and removed almost every piece of samsung crapware and turned off all the other samsung "features". Has anyone else experienced this?

Either way, thanks Mort for the app. I have bought donation app, I appreciate the clean focused functionality of mortplayer.

Is there a way to enable tap cover to play/pause on the main screen too (like in the lock screen)?
