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+

3.4.17 and 3.5 Beta 1 Released

By
I was not planning on putting out any more 3.4.x updates, however google refused to approve the 3.5 beta due to some policy updates that caused the existing 3.4.x version already released to no longer be compliant.  Therefore 3.4.15-3.4.17 are basically the work I've been doing on 3.5 for the last 16 months, but with all the new features disabled.  I would like to put them through more testing before enabling to the public, hence the beta. 3.4.17 (2024-10-25): Fixed crash on android 14+ trying to verify the unlocker 3.4.16 (2024-10-24): Fixed multi select in album details highlighting the wrong item 3.4.15 (2024-10-23): Update target api level to 34 Updated dependencies Manual scans are no longer ran in a foreground service due to google's new policies Last played time added to song info pop up Fixed issue where extra space was added in artists with numbers in name Increased full search limit from 100 to 10000 results Fixed issue with files missing tags showing up in the unkno...

3.4.14

By
Google really messed with alarms and timers for android 14, so 3.4.14 should fix the sleep timer.  You will notice an alarm will show up in your alarms menu when the sleep timer is turned on.  This is the only way to actually get the sleep timer to reliably stop playback on time when your screen is off / phone locked. 3.4.14 (2024-05-17): Sleep timer should now be more reliable on android 14+ 3.4.13 (2024-04-29) Fixed metadata view incorrect sizing in now playing layout 1 3.4.12 (2024-04-23) Updated translations Fixed issues with left and right metadata alignment when no album art Multi artist/genre/composers should now be separated by a comma and space throughout GMMP 3.4.11 (2024-04-16) Added ability to choose whether to crop album art to 1:1 aspect ratio in now playing layout 2 (customize -> album art -> crop to fit) Fixed now playing tab 1:1 aspect ratio album art getting cropped Album art preview pop up should no longer crop art 3.4.10 (2024-03-31) Fixed auto bookma...
