Subsonic For ICS Android 4.0

[zadax]

Great app!

It works well on my Gingerbread Nexus One.

However, I'm unable to open the Menu/Settings button on my ICS Asus Transformer TF101 (non Prime), so for the time being, the only server I can enjoy is the Subsonic Demo server

Thanks for your efforts so far!

I'd also like to mention my support for adding lock screen controls. I think that the default ICS music player's implementation could be a good model. It places the controls above the pin/password/pattern unlock. Just a thought...

Please add this patch to your latest. It fixes BT play/pause handling. I tested it on the latest in svn, but since you haven't posted source, I can't test against your changes. I can't imagine you changed much in this area though.

I'm having troubles downloading videos through Subsonic on Android.

Seemingly the application implementation is to simply run it in a Flash player, something I couldn't access when browsing the site ( download and play links not responding, ICS 4.0.4 Galaxy Nexus , ICS+ Browser ), would it be possible to add download to the long-press of a video file so one can later watch it in their preferred player?

[olofmogren]

I second this request for being able to download videos. The flash player has been a mess on all Android phones that I have tried, and apparently when chrome becomes the default web browser, flash will no longer be supported on Android. Being able to download the files seems like the first approach, and then piping the video data to an external (native) video player would be the final solution, IMHO. I think ES file manager does this.

Could someone rehost the APK somewhere, or post the sources to github etc since haxzmatic's domain seems to be down.

I've mirred the latest version at http://www.ragtop.org/upload/subsonic/Subsonic-02-26-2012.apk

As far as I know, the source has not been posted.

Following on from my original post two above, I've found hosting an FTP server and using ES File Explorer to be a working solution for now, albeit not great.

Can confirm FileZilla's FTP Server w/ ES File Explorer work.

feature requests would be cooler if they were requested on the main application's source tree, not here where haxzamatic is just adding (very much appreciated and well done)tweaks and (much needed) ui improvements.

mirrors are cool also but a peep from haxzamatic would be appreciated, either to post the source so that can be mirrored so someone else can carry on well done improvements or to post something new like the notification controls

even better would be if haxzamatic sent some push requests to the main source tree of the android app

Hi,

The source is available here: https://github.com/haxzamatic/Subsonic-Android

I am planning to incorporate some or all of haxzamatic's changes into the official app, but I'm currently busy making a new server version.

Regards,
Sindre

[disgustipated]

Fantastic! You're the best Sindre!

[jsr]

Awesome. I'm glad to hear that there has been some coordination between Sindre and haxzamatic. I look forward to seeing these updates in the official version.

Tried using the Subsonic-02-26-2012.apk build on Galaxy Nexus (4.0.2) and still have the "host name may not be null" issue... Would be great if devs could solve it asap!

The widget is also broken in this beta version, it's 4x2 instead of 4x1, and you get an ugly stretched widget if you add it...

Thanks ttabbal, i added this to the source i pulled down from the location sindre linked and i'm testing it out, that was frustrating me when i was at the gym and didnt want to have to keep pulling my phone out lol

[ttabbal]

Glad to help. I also sent it to the github project as a pull request, so hopefully it gets merged in for the next "official" release.
