GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 19

Alpha 19 marks the end of the alpha barring any major bugs.  All future updates will be via the google play store.  I will post when the beta has started with instructions on how to sign up.  I am planning for the beta to start right around the start of the new year.  I want to give this alpha some time to get tested since I will have to remove the main bug reporting tool before posting on google play due to the GDPR.  Google play does have its own bug reporting but its not as good as fabric.

Art Updates

I made some improvements to the art searches and also updated the scanner to run an auto search if no artwork is detected on the device.  To prevent hammering the search providers, I limited the queries to 1 artist/album a second, so large collections will take a long time to fully populate the art.

App Shortcuts

Android 7.1 (i think) added the ability to add app shortcuts to the icon on the homescreen.  GMMP now has 3.  Play, Shuffle All, and Search.  Play and Shuffle all allow control of gmmp without opening the UI, and search will launch gmmp right at the search screen.


Album Shuffle

I also added a new playback mode called Album Shuffle.  Instead of filling up the queue with every single album shuffled up, Album Shuffle works a bit like Auto-DJ.  It will populate the queue with 5 albums and will continue to add albums as albums are finished.  Album Shuffle also overrides Play Next/Prev album (and next/prev album by artist).  If you use those gestures, album shuffle will skip to the next/prev album already in the queue.  Album Shuffle is available only in the library menu and will overwrite whatever is in your queue.  Toggling shuffle when in album shuffle will revert playback to normal mode (where it will cycle between normal/shuffle/auto dj)


Album Shuffle Indicator

Queue now has 5 albums in it after selecting album shuffle

3.4.0

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
