Shuttle is an open source, local music player for Android.

Shuttle version:

v2.0.7 (Upgraded)

Device, OS:

Nexus 5 , Android 6.0.1

Description of bug:

Can't download missing artist and album images. Old images that have been downloaded before with 2.06 are displaying normally. It's shows the downloading artwork bar after it finishes, no new images are shown.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Transfer a new album
2. Settings-> Artwork-> Download Artwork->Download
3. Wait to finish Downloading

Expected outcome: In v2.0.6 (Upgraded) I would have an image of the Artist

Observations/Actual Result: On the Artist tab there are no images shown

Shuttle version:

v2.0.5-beta6

Device, OS:

Pixel 2, Android P Beta 3

Description of bug:

Music will randomly stop playing. I check my phone and the Shuttle app is not there anymore. I reopen the app and am able to restart the music where it stopped playing. It's as if someone closed the app.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start playing music and just wait. Happens randomly.

Expected outcome:

App will close.

Observations/Actual Result:

It's random, doesn't happen all the time. Unpredictable.

Shuttle version:

2.02 Upgraded

Device, OS: Galaxy S7, Android 7.0

Description of bug:

It takes like 30-60 seconds to fully open the music library

Music is on SD card

Steps to reproduce:

1. Fully close shuttle with no music playing
2. Open up shuttle through the widget or app icon
3. Wait in sadness

Expected outcome:

Music should load instantaneously

Shuttle version:

Shuttle+ v2.0.5 beta2

Device, OS:

Nexus 6P, Android 8.1.0 ABC Rom

Description of bug:

App randomly gets killed while playing music

Steps to reproduce:

1. Play music
2. Use other lightweight apps or do nothing with the screen off
3. Music stops, notification disappears

Expected outcome:

Music should continue playing, especially when not doing any other performance intensive tasks

Observations/Actual Result:

App seems like it's getting killed despite having more than enough RAM. This issue also did not happen prior to the new beta, with all device settings staying the same.

I'm not familiar with development so I'm most likely wrong, but I took a look at the commits and it may have something to do with MusicService?

Shuttle version:

v2.0.10

Device, OS:

Google Pixel 2 XL, Android 9 Pie (May 2019)

Description of bug:

Version 2.0.10, which seems to have been released to fix Last.fm artwork, actually caused this issue for me. I didn't have an issue before the update (I didn't try 2.0.9, so it may have been there). Album artwork refuses to download.

Shuttle version:

Shuttle+ v2.0.4

Device, OS:

Samsung Galaxy Edge S7

Description of bug:

Code will not compile in Android Studio with this error:

Expected outcome: google-services.json should be present

Observations/Actual Result:

google-services.json is not present.

Thanks! -TJB

Currently there is not much information on building this. It would be nice to have some basic information like Java version (7 or 8?) and Android SDK packages required. This would help new would-be contributors get started.

Shuttle version:

v2.0.7 (Upgraded)

Device, OS:

Blackberry KeyONE, Android 8.1.0

Description of bug:

Other music players detect my podcasts directory, but Shuttle does not detect them. They are in OGG format, and play fine with other media players.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download a BBC podcast to a podcasts directory on the phone. (OGG format)
2. Trigger a media scan, or wait for one.
3. Open Shuttle+, try to open the podcast for playback.

Expected outcome:

I'd expect the BBC podcast (or any podcast really, they all seem to fail to appear in Shuttle) to appear in the Shuttle+ library view.

Observations/Actual Result:

No podcasts are seen in Shuttle+, but they have worked before in older versions. In other players, such as Google Play Music, or the stock music player, do not fail to detect the podcasts. I do not believe this is a Media Storage issue, or to do with .nomedia files.

I've implemented this feature according to suggestions by @clockler in the issue thread.

For a small overview:

• ShuffleMode now includes ALBUMS, and ON has been changed to TRACKS.

• Most items referring to shuffle generally now specify track shuffle. Analogues of track shuffling functionality in MusicService, MusicUtils, and elsewhere now exist for album shuffling.

• New UI elements for album shuffle, including ShuffleAlbumsView, uses a layout similar to the list item shuffle element that comes before the list of songs.

Love the F-Droid version of this app!

Is there any way to have more than 30 songs in one playlist? I want to play more songs continuously without making a separate playlist.

Shuttle version:

2.0.6 (Upgraded) Previous versions affected as well.

Device, OS:

Android 8.0, 8.1.0, 9.X reported. Multiple devices reported.

Description of bug:

From reddit (2 individual posts/comments, 7 total upvotes):

Pausing playback and switching to another app (or another app starting its own playback) will often cause the play queue to become empty on Android 8.1.

https://imgur.com/a/UtZHPw6

This started happening after a relatively recent major Android version update that added new power management features.

I have not observed any clear correlation between this behavior and the duration of the pause, memory use during the pause, or activities and apps launched during the pause.

I have the paid upgrade for Shuttle. The smooth UI is great, the automatic UI colour selection has been pretty cool since the algorithm started accounting for saturation and probable aesthetic appropriateness, and the little enhancements like the faded album art in the notification are great, but being unable to reliably listen to a queue you've set up is very nearly a deal-breaker for me.

Same problem tested on 9.0 and 8.0 devices. It got slightly better when I turned off battery optimization for Shuttle, but that's not a viable long term solution.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shuttle/comments/9pnm1f/pausing_playback_and_switching_to_another_app_or/

On my own, I've found that the play queue will sometimes still be loaded back in if I wait a minute or so after reopening the app. This is pretty inconsistent though, it normally doesn't work if I touch the UI's navigation controls at all before it's loaded, and even when it does work I still need to wait for upwards of 30 seconds with an empty play queue, and then it still loses track of the position in the song.

Also, interestingly enough, even when the app is in the background, the control notification is gone, and the play queue is (would be) empty when I re-open the app, the playback controls on my Bluetooth headset can often get the song to pick back up where I paused it (after a brief delay).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Shuttle.
2. Start a new play queue.
3. Pause playback and exit Shuttle (in any order).
4. Return to Shuttle.

Expected outcome:

Play queue is restored as before exiting the app, and position in current song is preserved and ready to resume.

Observations/Actual Result:

Play queue is empty.

Play queue will occasionally be restored after several dozen seconds of waiting if touch interface is not interacted with in that time, but play position in current song will likely have reverted to a previous state even in this case.

Shuttle version:

v2.0.17

Device, OS:

Galaxy Fold3 Android 12 OneUI 4.1.1

Description of bug:

Simply clicking "Folders" on the left sidebar crashes the app.

Steps to reproduce:

This reproduces every time. My only actions that might be special here is that upon the fresh installation I went to settings and

1. Turned on "Remember shuffling mode"
2. Went to Excluded, and clicked "Clear" + confirmed

After doing this I tried to click "Folders" in order to set which folders I need music from.

Observations/Actual Result:

App crashes shortly after clicking on Folders. This is what I see in Logcat:

Shuttle version:

v2.0.17

Device, OS:

• Google Pixel, Android 10
• Samsung S6, Android 7

Description of bug:

If I play a looping test file continuously, after 16-19 hours the audio stops and the app no longer works correctly.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Shuttle
2. Set to loop single track
3. Play for a very long time

The track is 15 seconds long, 48 kHz, 24-bit PCM WAV file, I can send it if necessary.

Expected outcome:

It should just play continuously forever.

Observations/Actual Result:

After the app locks up, pressing pause/play has no effect, the progress dot stays at the beginning of the track and nothing plays.

Another time, the gapless looping stopped being gapless, there was a pause after each loop.

Another time, it started playing a different track? Despite being set to loop 1 track and doing so correctly for many hours. Not sure how that happened.

After phone reboot, it works normally again.

Shuttle version:

v2.0.17

Description of FR:

As my most important and daily used feature, folder view is really frustrating when it always jumps back to where Shuttle thinks my music is, but isn't, so I have to go to my music folder each time. (It did find all songs in it though, seen from other views.) So, a setting for where to start folder view or just the following last-browsed would be enough to fix this. Last-browsed: Would also be nice to start at the last subfolder chosen.

Hi Team

In the recent Play Store policy, it will become mandatory for you to fill out the Data Safety Section. Since this is an OSS Android app, it will make sense to have it as a part of the repository as well.

I have run the scan using my tool here on your repo, attached are the scan results. I found the following:

• 2 data types
• 0 SDK

If this is helpful, do use our free tool to generate Play Store Data Safety report: https://github.com/Privado-Inc/privado

Also, do share your feedback & thanks for the OSS app 😄

v2.0.15

Xcover 5 Android 11

Description of bug: genres list shows an empty genre called "Alert Tone", for which there are no music files in the selected library folder, and never will be

Steps to reproduce:

1. fresh install on devide with music folder on sd card
2. open app
3. look at genres tab

Expected outcome: only genres with music files in them should show up

Observations/Actual Result: all other genres shown are the ones with music in them, as expected, but Alert Tone shows up without anything in it
