DSub for Android

[daneren2005]

I hope you don't mind, but I edited your app making the cyan red instead. I am much happier now! Don't worry, I won't be sharing it since it is your app, but now it matches everything else on my phone much better... Really liking the ability to exit the app from the now playing list too!

Mind sharing what you did? If it doesn't conflict with everything else too much I might just add it as an option. Though that will probably be the last theme I add since that would make a total of 8 themes (4 base + 4 full screen) after the other one I'm adding for this next update. Don't want theme overkill.

I just got the DSub Android app and it is great! One thing I would really like is the option to make the widget transparent (with subtle shading around the text and controls so it is still visible against a light background). Other than that, I like everything else!

Still have some things to change / fix, it's a work in progress... I like it though...

Widget and icon are themed too, but my background pic isn't work friendly...

NICE work, Otis!

Thanks. daneren2005 deserves the credit though! I just recently started playing with theming for my own devices...

I'd appreciate if this forum could be kept safe for work?

In the mean time I will suggest what I do to get around this problem. I just use different "root" folders (set up via the server's admin page) for music, movies, and podcasts so I can just view music at one time.

Guess we both do not talk about the same feature . Of course I am using different media filders for Music, Movies, Podcasts and Audio Books which I configured within the Subsonic Server Settings. This will allow me to browse only the desired content within the library. But preselecting a media folder on the library page will not have any effect on the "global" random play feature. It still grabs content from any available folder. As far as i got into the Subsonic API description, it is just one more argument added to the GET routine. But don't get me wrong, I do not want to say it's as easy to implement . Also, there are different ways to do it, some good and others quick and dirty.

If you go to the media tab, select your music folder, then do shuffle does that correctly only do a shuffle from music or is that grabbing the wrong things there too? And if I understand what you are asking you are asking that if I select shuffle from the main tab and I have the music folder selected already on the media tab then it should only grab stuff from that one folder? That shouldn't be too hard to do if that is all you are asking. I thought you guys were asking for the ability to get dirty with labels and select only certain sub-folders for shuffle.

This would play titles from EVERY music folder set up on Subsonic web page. Changing the Media folder on Media tab does only have effect on the contents shown on media tab, unfortunately not on the shuffle play action.

I think this would be the easiest way to look for a solution. The selected music folder on media tab could be part of the request method when the shuffle button is pressed. So it could be also empty when "all" media folders are selected.

And if I understand what you are asking you are asking that if I select shuffle from the main tab and I have the music folder selected already on the media tab then it should only grab stuff from that one folder?

Absolutely correct. I wouldn't care to use either the shuffle button on media or main tab, but that's exactly what I was asking for.

That shouldn't be too hard to do if that is all you are asking. I thought you guys were asking for the ability to get dirty with labels and select only certain sub-folders for shuffle.

As i said, there would be different approaches to provide more flexibility. But as a quick fix, i'd be totally satisfied with the suggested method.

Well good news is the shuffle based off of actively selected folder was fairly easy to do. And I don't know if it was just changed in 4.7 or what, but to those who were asking for this specifically to not have movies and such in your shuffle list, at least for me movies don't seem to ever be included in my shuffles anyways. I even tried doing shuffles specifically on a folder which had nothing but movies and it just didn't return anything at all.

It must have been changed as I had motion picture stuff in my playlist earlier but have to agree it does not deliver such content on 4.7. But it definitely grabs items from any other audio folder, in my case General Music, Seasonal Music, Soundtracks, Compilations and Audio Books, every item organized within a seperate media folder.

Thank You for taking care of this issue.

Tested the sleep timer five nights in a row and it worked every time so looking good!

I know you mentioned looking at gapless playback and I would certainly be interested in that (I'm aware that it would be ICS+ only). Just wondering if you've thought about adding replaygain support. I'm guessing that would be a pretty big undertaking and again, no idea if anyone else cares about that feature but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks.

I'm glad to hear it is working well for you! Gapless playback is coming up pretty soon (would say next couple of weeks). And I have never heard of replaygain...what is it supposed to do/why would you want it?
