Large library speed tests

By
I just got finished coding up a new data layer for my player.  It allows you to use either the built in media store or the new database I setup specifically for the player.  It is highly optimized for our needs and also allows me to implement new features such as album/artist/song ratings, tagging album/artist/songs, dynamic "views", playcounts, multiple artists per song, and probably a bunch more.

Anyway one of the issues I saw early on in my testing on my archos 5IT was the default mediastore could barely handle massive libraries.  I have roughly 300 GB worth of music on it and want to be able to easily browse it all using a library.  So I have 2 videos showing the speed comparison between my app using the built in mediastore (version 0.05) and then it using my new database (version 0.07).  Response time for 0.07 is almost immediate, whereas 0.05 takes 5-6 seconds whenever you want to look at the albums for an artist.

This vid is 0.05.. sorry for it being sideways.



This is the much faster 0.07, ignore the crash at the end.. I have not implemented that feature using the new DB yet

Anyway.  This is good for any other archos 5IT users.  You will finally have a music player that can handle all your music.

3.4.0

By
Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
