3.3.0 Beta

By

I posted a new update to the beta channel on google play and it should slowly roll out over the next few days.  3.3.x will mostly just focus on bug fixes.  Once updating the app, you will notice a new prompt on startup asking to grant the "manage external storage" permission.  This is now required for GMMP to run.  I did a full write up on the reasoning behind this permission here.  The plan for 3.3.x is to stay in beta for a while (and only on google play), but there should be more regular updates to it.

Changelog:

3.3.0 (2022/03/15):

New:

  • Updated target sdk to Android 12
  • Updated ffmpeg to 5.0
  • Updated other dependencies
  • Added MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and prompt for android 11+ (required for all of gmmp's functionality to work)
  • Optimized x86 and x86_64 ffmpeg builds
  • Updated translations

Fixes:

  • Tags with ratings > 5 are capped at 5
  • Fixed issue where albums with the same name in diff folders with diff years would get grouped together
  • Fixed issue where notification / mediasession would show the wrong playing info
  • Fixed gapless playback for some files that previously had issues
  • Fixed reading tags in wav files
  • Fixed issue where now playing would not display the playing song if it contained 2 empty genre tags
  • Ignore duplicate empty mp4 tags
  • Prevent music from being added to library with no associated genre (Defaults to 'Unknown' if no tag)
  • Renamed 'Backup Settings' to 'Back Up Settings'
  • Changed 'Backup Stats' to 'Back Up Stats'
  • Format artist/album tags scanner setting now works correctly for multi artist tags
  • Fixed 'Add to playlist' for playlist files
  • Physical volume buttons can now control casting volume (except in android 12 due to android bug)
  • Fixed some tag writing issues on Android 11+
