A modern MPD Client for Android.

I'm using the latest mpd versions 0.18.x and the latest git Version of MPDroid. I experienced two problems:

(1) At the end of each song MPDroid looses the connection to MPD. The "lost connection" dialog appears. When clicking on "try again" it is working again.

(2) Sometimes it is not possible to change the current song by clicking on a different one. Only a restart of MPDroid helps to accepts new commands. Possibly this is caused by a lost connection during song playback (which is not shown by the "lost connection" dialog).

Albums with more than one "Artist" behave very well in MPDroid - they appear under the different artists as they should. But when i use more than one "Album-Artist" the behaviour gets strange when the specific tag for the artists-listing in the menu is chosen: The album with the (for example) 2 album-artists is showed for both of the artists as ist should, but not once but twice. One time for each artist, but under the wrong artist. An example: I have an album with Eric Clapton and B.B. King as 2 "Album Artist". When i now choose Eric Clapton in the library, there are 2 similar albums. When i change the specific tag for the artists-listing in the menu from "Album Artist" to "Artist", the behaviour is the same (I have the same value for "artist" and "album artist"). But when i eliminate the "album artist"-tag in the tracks, the behaviour is normal again.

UPDATE : MPDroid stays, thanks ! Please check my final answer

Hi,

Today, MPDroid got threatened of removal by Google.
I tried to appeal, but it got denied and MPDroid will probably be removed from the Play Store soon(ish).

Since it's still on the store, I pushed 1.07 Final. It's a release that I'm proud of, because it's the first stable release in a year. I want to use this space to say thank you to all contributors. Especially to @avuton , who has been doing a crazy work inside JMPDComm.

Anyway, 1.07 Final contains a small nag (only shown once), to warn Play Store users of what is happening.

I also reached out to F-Droid to try to get 1.07 updated there too. APKs are still downloadable here, and the project will remain open source. It's something I strongly believe in, even more tonight.

I'm still unsure about what the next steps are for us, or where the project will go. We barely released new versions, so after all it does not change much.

If you are curious, I've written a post about this : http://nlss.fr/mpdroid/

Thanks for reading!

When having the albums:

Aphex Twin -- Classics
Ratatat -- Classics

Going to the album listing for Aphex Twin and doing "Add, Replace and Play" for his Classics album will also add titles from Ratatat's album. Similarly, albumart from Ratatat's album is shown on titles from Aphex Twin (using a local webserver for albumart)

Hello, I've got a few artists with more than a hundred albums in my library, mostly kid's stuff. If the settings option to sort by year is NOT activated, it takes only one second to show all of the artist's albums when the artist has been selected. If the option is activated, it merely takes forever for the albums to be shown. Exactly, for 107 albums it took 1:50 minutes to load the album view. Cover art had not even been activated.

Hello,

Using my nightly build for commit (69c7fc1ee6) I was listening to MPD, using MPDroid ~~exclusively (no other clients anywhere on my network)~~ along with mpdscribble, I pause and come back around 5 minutes later to resume play, hit play and nothing happens. I think I hit it again, nothing. Check logs and the dreaded 'Max Connections Reached'. With that said, I have the default connection limits set (10) so I'm afraid we have a connection leak ;). At any rate, here's a subset of my logs. These logs were tac'd and seded (to remove password) and probably includes too much information, but feel free to grep it as necessary.

Well it's possibly a kind of egoistic wish... :-)

When i found the right CD in the library, i have a very small button to get a list of 4 actions. And one of them is "add, replace and play-back". I don't know if i am the only one, but i take always this button. Would it be possible to make this button better reachable, because it is the most important of them, at least to my opinion?

Hi, after last update of app (11 genuary) i can't connect via WiFi. I didn't change any of the default setting neither in the smartphone and in the MPD or Voyage on the computer. When i try to connect with the smartphone i got this error message: "Connection to MPD-Server failed! Ceck if server is running and reachable. (org.a0z.mpd.exception. MPDServerException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.StackOveflowError)"

Anybody understand what happen? Thank you!

Some bugs have appeared with the introduction of the new navigation drawer ui :

• Songs in the play queue are really, really hard to reorder. the hitbox needs to be tweaked
• When going back to the library from another tab, the navigation state will be lost (this is a bug caused by a feature allowing you to go back to the library root easily)

Not a bug but I really think that the swipe left<>right for moving between now playing and the queue will be missed.

Cover Search is not triggered in Albums of Artist list or in AlbumFragment, only when added to playlist and shown in NowPlaying

I have to examine the circumstances ...

Hi

He's a small submit to remove the volume bar when MPD server returns -1 on call to get volume. This indicates that the output device does not have a volume control, for instance optical output. The volume bar in this instances is useless to the user and performs not function and is slightly confusing to the user. Therefore we can detect this condition from the getVolume() and hide and disable the UI volume control.

Note: I've not tested with a MPD server that the output does support control of volume on the output device.

some of the white space got changed in the process, I'm not sure how or why, but have corrected most that I can see

Incremental compilation. Gradle recompile only the classes that were affected by a change. This feature is the default since Gradle 4.10. For an older versions, we can activate it by setting options.incremental = true.

===================== If there are any inappropriate modifications in this PR, please give me a reply and I will change them.

Process forking options. Gradle will run all tests in a single forked VM by default. This can be problematic if there are a lot of tests or some very memory-hungry ones. We can fork a new test VM after a certain number of tests have run by setting forkEvery.

===================== If there are any inappropriate modifications in this PR, please give me a reply and I will change them.

Ability to shuffle the playlist. I believe this is a natively supported command in the mpd protocol.

I'd like to have a shuffled playlist while keeping the ability to move an arbitrary song to play next, which seems unlikely to work with the randomized play order.

Parallel test execution maxParallelForks. Gradle can run multiple test cases in parallel by setting maxParallelForks.

Disable report generation. We can conditionally disable it by setting reports.html.required = false; reports.junitXml.required = false. If you need to generate reports, add -PcreateReports to the end of Gradle's build command line.

Android GUIs are moving back to the bottom navigation buttons like Apple uses. It turns out that function beats style when it comes to functions you use all the time. I've been trying to find an openhome/mpd controller which uses a clear, simple, modern interface because my senior parents can't fathom anything else.

I was thinking of doing a web app on my own, then I thought maybe I could modify an existing native app. Then I found your app and I thought I could just put it to you: do you want to have a discussion about the GUI? What's your interest level for updating the app to the latest android version standards?
