DSub for Android

Alright, thanks for the input. I added a few of your suggestions to the todo list.

4.4 says... "Browse by ID3 Tags instead of folder structure (off by default)"

How do you turn it on? Does it allow you to browse from Genre -> Artist? Are Tags properly sorted?

Thanks,
Warren.

It is under each individual servers settings. No it doesn't allow browsing artists by genre. I don't know what you mean by tags being sorted.

Thanks, so it browses the ID3 Artist. Is there any way to keep it from sorting the albums by date? I'd rather all albums were then sorted by album name only.

Not right now but I can add a option to sort by year or name. That shouldn't be unique to browsing by tags though.

Is it working with Kitkat and an external sdcard?

Thanks

I ended up going back to version 4.3.6 from the latest version (as of today) which fixed my "next track" issue that I've been having for the past week or so (since the 4.4 update). What happened was that whenever I skipped ahead multiple songs (within a few seconds of each other), the song that was displayed as currently playing was not the actual one that was playing. This happened with bluetooth and aux in. To get it to play the correct song, I had to go to the playlist and manually select the song (it would then restart and play the correct song). The subsonic server version I was on was initially 4.8, but upgrading to 4.9 didn't help with the issue. The only other thing to mention was that the entire playlist I had playing was cached.

Although I can't reproduce the issue myself, I think I see the source of the problem. It should be fixed in the next update.

Is there any way to change the behavior of DSub playback for only podcasts?

I've started trying out using podcasts through Subsonic, however, the biggest thing that I miss from more conventional podcast players is their ability to skip forward or backward by a number of seconds instead of skipping to the next or previous track. Specifically, I use my car's media buttons quite a bit while listening to podcasts. So it would be a huge improvement to me, if the media next and media previous buttons were remapped to skip forward a number of seconds or skip backwards a number of seconds inside DSub only when listening to podcasts. Obviously, while listening to music, I would want the functionality to revert back to next/previous track.

On my wishlist would also be the ability to control the number of seconds skipped by an item in the settings panel.

Yeah I can add it to the todo list. I will definitely only be adding it as a option though since some would find that annoying.

Actually I think I have a better solution. I'm guessing 99.9% of the time people are listening to one podcast at a time. What do people think of me just making skipping within the doing the default action when you only have one song in the list? They aren't good for anything else at that point anyways.

I think that could work for me if it was the way you really wanted to implement it. However, then people couldn't queue podcasts.

Do you really queue up podcasts often? I was just thinking that that would also make it so that if people were playing one really long audio file (like a book) they could do the same thing. I'm not decided just brain storming.

Is there anything that can be done to better the eq? I always browse and cache with dsub but listen with Gone Mad Media Player, since it offers a much better sound quality and more fine tuning options. Other than that top notch app. Would just be nice to use this as an all in one file manager and media player.

Honestly probably not. I know nothing about EQ or really how to improve it without going low level, which is far beyond my abilities without making a full time job of it. What is it that you find better about other apps EQs?
