DSub for Android

[grumpwagon]

I agree with the comments about the new interface. I am a huge (huge) fan of Dsub, but the new interface eschews functionality for UI sugar (what's with that graphic on the top of the left-side pull-out tray?) and "streamlining".

The graphic on top is part of google's material design.

EDIT: I rescind my comments about the corrupted cache. Seems my SD card is corrupt and the occurrence was just a coincidence (though strange that it could be duplicated time after time). My penultimate sentence still stands.

To be honest that is why I just told you where the previos version was. There was no way that the new update was causing that, and based on what you said I would bet there is was no way it was even DSub's fault. But everyone always think it's the apps fault so it wasn't worth fighting

My authentication works for most things but seeing lists of podcast episodes tells me I have the wrong username or password, and if I change library folders I have to re-select the library from the side panel before it shows library contents.

Odd. Can you make me a temp username password for your server? I need to look directly for what the source of the issue is. It may be a bug in the server but I can't reproduce either issue against my 5.3 server.

In case anyone else has the same issue, it is because Subsonic does not accept the new authentication method for LDAP users and there is no way for me to tell which users are LDAP users. I have let Sindre know about it.

Thanks for rolling back the auth method, I can stay up to date again! Depending on when the fix on the server side goes in, you could add it as a recommended option that you can change in settings or something.

Yeah we shall see if it ever gets fixed. I posted about it in the developer forums and haven't received a response yet. If it never gets fixed o will probably put it back as an option.

Just a quick question. Can anyone explain what "batch mode" is? Tried to find some more info on this but can only find info stating that this option was added. Sorry if its self explanatory but I honestly have no idea what its for. Thanks for the help!

[daneren2005]

If you check it when you long press on items you can do batch operations on them instead of moving songs around in the playlist.

Hi there. A feature I would like to see added is the ability to sort by different fields after each field selection... if that makes sense. For example, I can only browse by artist->album (through the Library section) or by genre->album (through the Album List section). I have a lot of albums and I would love for the ability to view a list of artists in each genre first, before a complete album list. That way I can browse genre->artist->album so I could get a better overview of what I have available, instead of having to scroll through hundreds of albums. Would this be a possible/easy addition? Thanks in advance.

Interesting idea. The API only returns Songs by genre, so I would guess that the app, much like the Web UI, just looks through the song metadata to pull out the albums it lists. It probably wouldn't be much to take that info and filter by artist first, and cache the album info so only the albums from that genre are included when you browse the artist.

It may be slow, though: the album version just shows the albums as it finds them; it just fetches songs until it has enough unique albums to fill a page, then stops. To really get a complete list of all artists with songs in a genre, via the API, an app would need to load *every* song by genre since it can't presume there is any specific order in which the songs are returned.

There isn't an API at the moment to get that sort of information so I won't be adding anything like that.

I love DSub but I have recently run into an annoying issue I'm hoping someone may be able to help with.

I own a UE Roll bluetooth speaker (http://www.ultimateears.com/en-us/ueroll) and can use it w/ the standard Subsonic app with no issue, but whenever I stream to it with DSub it will not skip to the next song unless I manually start and stop the track. I have tried clearing D-Sub data and reinstalling but it doesn't make a difference.

Strangely I don't have this problem w/ DSub + my bluetooth headphones so it just seems that this application does not like the device I'm streaming to. I have the most up to date UE Roll firmware and like I said it works fine w/ the regular Subsonic app so I'm just not sure if there's anything I'll be able to do to fix it.

I have a ue roll as well. No issues for my self or my wife with Dsub.

This app works with Fire TVStick? Or can you customize the app for fire TV?
