Downloaded the 0.98.1 update through the playstore, great work with the latest changes and updates!
Noticed one minor UI issue - in portrait mode on big screens (tablet) if you go in to an artist overview on My top artists (Spotify) or My artists (Qobuz) (Don’t have Tidal) it cuts of the artist name in the top overview.
Another small UI thing, in the new favourites section it says songs also for artists, albums and streams in the text for how many liked you have in that segment.
And probably the “listen to your favourite music for xxx time” should be removed for those?
Hi Joni, I don’t know if you’ve already noticed the problem or not, since it concerns a plugin.
With the Bandcamp Discover plugin created by @patrickkfkan there are some graphical problems as you can see from the attached images.
The same plugin works well on the official app.
This is not really the fault of the app, because Volumio UI is only meant to display plain text without decorations. I just added HTML markups to the item / list titles as a way of circumventing this.
Okay, so there seems to be some crashes happening again due to the new stuff(who would have guessed) which i need to take a look and fix, hopefully got time today at some point later.
meanwhile i redesigned the widget, it takes advantage of extracting the color from art now, with rounder corners →
Need to take a look at that, seems to happen on my OnePlus as well if i use the default launcher, instead of nova.
I guess it’s the outer most layout which i haven’t explicitly set as transparent, but just set it’s shape. Nova launcher seems to handle it correctly, but not the default ones.
It seems that the rounded corners are “officially” supported only on Android 12 sadly, and on some of the 3rd party launchers, its a shame, but i will delete the rounded for now.
Okey, is someone here using phone with Android 12?
I can see frequent native code crash happening, sad part is these does not contain any reasonable stack trace, since the crash happens on lower level than the application. I really need your help to know when it happens to be able to try reproduce and then hopefully figure a fix to it.
Also, what features are were still missing, besides the settings pages?
Sorry, no Android 12 devices in my possession – only Android 11 until Samsung gets around to release that update for the S10.
Most features I would like to have is dependant on Volumio implementing them, like the option to sort stuff both for local files and in Qobuz/Spotify – like sort artist alphabetically.
One thing that could be nice is the possibility to change font type and colour on the text in the app,
and maybe if in the now now playing view could use a background colour tint from the related album cover – but now we are talking more UI design and not features, and the app maybe shouldn’t mimic the official app to much design-wise.
Can’t help, having 11.*
About features: is it somehow possible in Tidal sort the playlists like the albums? Would be very helpful.
One quirk. I choose disc, then track from my USB disk library. If I go to disc from track and try to go back to track list result is somehow arbitrary. Sometimes first two of the track list or first two two times. Sometimes like it should be. Sometimes “Looks empty to me…” Maybe problems with ripped metadata. Anyway track list is ok when you open disc folder.
You could test if the same happens with browser(then it’s metadata issue most likely)
The app parses the URI’s with same algorithm always no matter from where you navigate within the local library, so in theory it should always point to same place if the metadata is correct.
Anyway i will take a look at it, since i cannot guarantee that my implementation is flawless.
E: the sorting could be implement within the app, it’s just not too memory efficient that way.(and depending on where you are navigating the backend might only return barebones of information, so the only sorting that could be done is alphabetical by the titles of the items which is quite limited)
Hi Joni,
i am owning an Android 12 device (Google Pixel 5). Maybe i can help you around with testing of the app. But i am not familiar with tracing android devices. I will need a short tutorial how to do this. I guess the next three days i am very busy but after the holidays i will try to support you
