Android App Bugs + Requests

[Luterin]

one thing i'm have trouble with is, when my phone (HTC Incredible) is connected to my WIFI i can't connect to my Subsonic server through the Android App or through a browser to my URL. However, once i disconnect from my WIFI and use the 3G network both work fine, and if i leave the app open, then reconnect to my WIFI it will still function. Not too big of a deal, I have yet to try it on WIFI away from home so i don't know if it's a problem with me being on the same LAN network when trying to connect or if it's a connecting with WIFI problem.

Depending on your ISP and Gateway, you might have to use your internal IP when you are on your local Wifi. Using an external IP does not work in all cases depending on the ISP and/or the Gateway you use.

I have 4 suggestions, one of which was sort of mentioned above:

1. Cache-ing Files after an error. I noticed that if my data connection was lost, the app sometimes just continuosly tries to connect draining my battery. I have even tried killing the Subsonic app, and still I note the 3G icon on my phone continues to show data downloading (When nothing else is going on). I usually have to reboot my phone to get it to stop. What I am looking for, and I wish every Android developer would consider is an "Exit" button that lets you unload the the app and cancel anything that is in process.

2. Can you cache the currently playing song in RAM, so that I can connect my phone to my PC at the same time that I am listening to my music?

3. Can you locally cache the directories so that it returns to where you were last up to, rather than starting from the top directory. Many times I have listened to an album from an artist, and I want to then go back and choose another album from the same artist. It is much faster to just go up one directory than to have to start over - especially since I have to wait while my collection is retrieved again.

4. Can you retain the last X searches, so that the entire collection does not need to be searched again when you are looking to replay a previous set of songs?

Thanks and keep up the great work.
