First of all: monkeyproof, this is great work!
Installed on my iPhone 6s, looks very promising. (version 1.0(5) )
It is connected to a wired raspberry 2b with a hifiberry dac.
The response is great, starting and stopping a song does it instantly.
And i like the design as well.
Shutdown and reboot is working fine.
There are some things to be worked on:
I am not able to browse through any library.
In the queue i am not able to see the titles of a song, only the artist and the album
When i play an album, which in the moment i have to do via the web UI from Volumio, the shuffle function is not working.
This can also be a flaw in Volumio itself, because when i try this in the webUI it is working neither.
Thanks for the feedback Mark!
The library browsing except Spotify ones is one of the biggest task missing, i’m still waiting for my nas coming back from assistance, i hope today will be ready. I have to check which title tag is used on the track.
About the shuffle and repeat functions…i’m still trying to understand how it works, it seems to be bugged in the webUI as you said. I’ll take some time now to make it work
In the “Playback” section there are no differences with previous versions, so the “shuffle” function still does not work properly.
In the “Browse” section i am able to browse, great improvement.
Also the loading is very fast, much faster than the WebUI!
However, i am not able to start to play a chosen file or folder.
The “Queu” section does show the titles of the songs now, great.
In the “Settings” i am able to start and stop the Spotify plugin and shutdown or restart my Volumio
All by all i can say that you almost nailed it, if you manage to make the files and folders start playing from the “Browse” section i can stop using the WebUI and will switch to this great app.
Thankyou so far!
I noticed that the “shuffle” function is working, except not as i am expecting.
When i turn “shuffle” on before choosing to play an album, it shuffles.
When i turn it on, after choosing playing an album, it does not start shuffling that particular album.
The behaviour of shuffle and repeat is so tricky that it took me a little to make it work.
On the API the value for them is “nil” at the boot, but an Int after the first toggle.
But now since it’s working I think it should come as in the web UI.
I’ll finish the search and i’ll look for a cause.
Very good, Monkeyproof, love this version, especially the tutorial page
First impression:
Search function is great, works exactly as Volumio WebUI
I am experiencing a small bug, but i will put it in the Volumio bugs, but since your app shows the exact same outcome i blame the Volumio itself.
Will report the bug.
Queue action bar is an improvement, love it.
I noticed a small glitch: when i choose “Clear and Play” the album is placed in the queue, but i need to start it manually.
But your app is already this good that i use it all the time and ditched the WebUI.
Only for a library update i use the WebUI.
i just build a new Volumio2 player with IQaudio DAC and browsed through the forums to get some ideas. I found this topic here and I’, very interested, but sadly I can’t PM @monkeyproof when clicking his avatar. The contact options are empty for me, maybe because I’m a new user?
This post is a try to get a post and maybe workaround the PM “issue”, otherwise maybe @monkeyproof can send me a PM and I can answer his one?
I got it, but still can’t answer even that one. I get the message that I can’t compose PMs because I’m new. (which I fully understand for newly registered users, because of spam)
But the question is, how many posts do I need to unlock this “feature”?
