GoneMAD Music Player 3.1.3

3.1.3 will hopefully be the last update for 3.1.x.  I was able to fix all of the major bugs reported and minor bugs that were fixable with a reasonable amount of effort.  I'll shortly begin to focus on 3.2 which will mostly be a 100% tab based navigation UI option (similar to holo theme of GMMP 2.x).  I also plan on investigating better external/removal storage support.  If its possible to improve support without using the storage access framework, that'll be done for 3.2, otherwise it will have to wait until the next audioengine is ready (most likely). Google is requiring all app updates must target android 11 (which forces support for scoped storage) starting in november, so my goal is to finish up 3.2 sometime in early october.  This should allow enough time for any essential fixes before that november deadline.  Updating GMMP for scoped storage might take a few months so I wanted to get a release in before I was forced to support scoped storage. Changel...

GoneMAD Music Player 3.1.0

3.1 consists mostly of library updates and bugfixes.  The main library used by the audio engine, ffmpeg, was updated from 2.7.3 all the way to 4.4.  2.7.3 was released over 5 years ago, so this is a pretty significant upgrade.  The main reason behind the upgrade was to help with building a new audio engine.   A new engine is a long way off but I have began prototyping one based off of ffmpeg 4.4.  The 2 main drivers behind writing a new engine from scratch is to fully support hi-res audio and to support playback of other sources than just local files.  Being able to play network files (samba/upnp/dlna) has been a desire for a long time and I'd also like to be able to support some of the popular media server software like Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin.  My other app ( QuasiTV ) already interfaces with all 3 for video playback, so leveraging that code for audio playback would be pretty straight forward. When the engine does make its way into GMMP, it'll ...
