1.1.11 - quick fix

By
The update I made to the file browser ends up causing a crash if a file has the artist or trackname tag blank.  Also if for some reason playlist are not loading properly for you, I added an option to change the character encoding when loading a playlist file.  Most people will never have to touch this, but if you have filenames that are unicode, this might need to be used.  Preferences -> Playlist -> Character Set 1.1.11 (01/30/2012): -Fixed crash in file browser -Added option to set character encoding used to read playlist files (ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16, etc) -Handle exception that can be thrown when populating the playlist

1.1.10 - Stability fixes

By
There are 2 new features in this patch.  You can now customize the actions for single button remote controls and there is a new gesture action for deleting the current file/folder. The rest of the patch tries to address some of the stability issues that have been reported, and I rewrote much of the active playlist code, so it should be much more forgiving with larger playlists. 1.1.10 (01/29/2012): -Improved playlist file compatibility -Renamed Multi-Press enabled to Single Button Mode for headset remote controls -In single button mode, actions can now be assigned to single, double, and triple clicks and single, double, and triple 'click and hold'. (Preferences->General->Single Button Actions) -Added delete action to gesture action list -Rewrote the active playlist for better performance and hopefully less issues -Made scanner changes to lock the database for less time to reduce ANRs -Moved processing to find the next/prev folder and file to the backgro...

1.1.9 - Widgets updated + Audiofocus requests

By
Another minor update.   GMMP will now respond to audiofocus requests by pausing or lowering the volume.  Audio focus requests were something google added in 2.2, that lets other apps "request focus" to temporarily play audio.  An example of this would be GPS software telling you when to make a turn. I also went through and slightly improved all the widgets.  Text should now fade out if it is too long and on the larger sized widgets, the text will wrap to another line. Changelog 1.1.9 (01/22/2012): -Added filename to the search categories -Added option to obey audiofocus requests.  GMMP pauses on AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS_TRANSIENT and lowers volume on AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT_MAY_DUCK. (Preferences->Audio->Obey AudioFocus Requests) -Fixed album art position in 4x1 widget -Made slight visual improvements to all the widgets -Fixed some situations where song transitions would not crossfade -Album artist tags stored in the 'TXXX' id3 tag ar...

Roadmap updated

By
I updated the roadmap a bit to give everyone a better idea on when certain features are going to be worked on (or what order I should say, estimating time is very hard in software development) Barring any major issues that pop up, there should be 2 more updates in the 1.1.x line and then I will start development on 1.2, which will mostly be cosmetic changes.

4x1 Widget Added (1.1.8)

By
Another update.. now playing can now also show the file and folder of the currently playing file.  I also added a 4x1 widget.  As I was taking the screenshots below I noticed the album art is slightly off center.  The update is already pushed so I'll fix that in the next version. Changelog 1.1.8 (01/17/2012): -Added file and folder as displayable metadata in now playing -Search categories can now be turned on/off individually -Added 4x1 widget -Widgets should now update quicker after manual track changes -Fixed itunes match support (the fix was accidentally reverted in 1.1.6) -Fixed tags not stretching out across the whole screen in landscape mode when album art is off
