Shuffle mode keeps turning off and Repeat keeps turning on
andrewilley replied to Byron's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
The easiest thing would be to clear the log, then do the BT connection or whatever action causes the issue. Not so much in the log to wade through that way. Andre -
Shuffle mode keeps turning off and Repeat keeps turning on
andrewilley replied to Byron's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
@mporcas I can't see anything in that log that should be affecting Shuffle/Repeat status. @maxmp might be able to comment further though. I think what is usually the culprit is this sort of thing: Andre -
Shuffle mode keeps turning off and Repeat keeps turning on
andrewilley replied to Byron's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
@Matt Gertz You can get the latest Poweramp beta builds from the Download tab at the top of the page. Currently build 981 is the latest: This may allow you to fix your issue, but a number of users have reported that it is still happening with their Android 14 variants even with the new 'ignore' option enabled. Max is planning to add a better workaround in the next release. Andre -
I don't think you mean the "mini player" (which is the little panel of current playback controls shown at the bottom of Poweramp's Library Category lists). Your screenshots show the Android Player / Media Notification panel, which is seen when you drag down from the top of the screen. Status Bar Notification formatting (just like Lock Screen and the Android Auto display, etc) is controlled by Android rather than the playback app. Poweramp does in fact provide the Album name, should Android wish to display it. For example, on Samsung Android 11, the initial and expanded panels looked like this: And same song playing in Samsung Android 14: If you don't like the default style as defined by the latest Android version on your new phone, you could try forcing one of the older legacy Notification formats, as they used to show the album name rather than just its artwork. See PA Settings=>Look and Feel=>Notifactions=>Notification Type . They don't always look very good with newer ROMs though, as they were not designed for them. e.g. 'Legacy' as displayed on an Android 14 phone: Andre

Add Lyric Download and Show Support
andrewilley replied to Kawoser's topic in Poweramp Feature Requests
@justme2 what has Winamp got to do with this? Poweramp does not generate lyrics at all, it needs to find them from the playing audio file, from a companion LRC file, or from an external online source (see my post about three comments back in this thread). Andre- 21 replies

where the best choice of Poweramp EQ battrey?
andrewilley replied to DavidAstonish's topic in Using the Equalizer App - Q&A
I would suggest turning all battery / power optimisations off for Poweramp and/or Poweramp EQ. Andre -
Fix the selected view (default browsing method)
andrewilley replied to Vache's topic in Poweramp Feature Requests
@Vache Yes, it makes for a handy way to change the playback Category (switching from a Recent song to the Album it came from for example) without interrupting the currently playing song. Andre -
First, avoid trying to grant access permissions to overall root locations. That is specifically forbidden when using Android's Storage Access Framework for the device's internal user storage and SD Cards, but even if it is permitted for USB mounted storage (which it seems to be treating as a folder within its overall file system) it's probably not a good idea. Instead, grant access to one or more specific folders, and store everything else as subfolders within that. In general terms though, if you enable access to a top level folder (or in this case, a master USB location) then everything else within that will be enabled too - i.e. all files and subfolders. However if you later disable even a single subfolder, the overall folder has to be disabled as it is no longer fully selected, and each activated subfolder is enabled instead. Thus any files stored at the top level of the master folder will no longer the picked up as the master folder is not selected for access. I got caught out by that logic myself a while ago when configuring the backup regime on my NAS drive: I could easily backup an entire volume (which caught all files and subfolders on the volume too) but if I disabled even a single folder within the volume, the volume itself was not considered as a backup source, only the selected folders - and crucially not any files stored at the root level of that volume. If you want the root files scanned, the whole volume has to be selected. So in this case, just put your M3U files into a 'Folder 4', and enable that for scanning too. Andre

@flyingdutchman Yes, the required changes in the Luminous skin appear to need the Poweramp SDK to be updated, which won't happen until the 981 versions go from beta into stable release. For now, either rolling back to PA 976 or using a different skin will fix the issue. Andre

Album art keeps disappearing from notification bar.
andrewilley replied to euwns's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Have you tried adjusting the Notification type and settings in PA Settings=>Look and Feel=>Notifications? I would suggest using Auto normally. Also check PA Settings=>Album Art=>Always Send Album Art. When you say the artwork disappears, does the shading remain or does it just have a plain white background? On Android 14, it should normally look like this: Or when in minimised state: Andre -
I think a lot of people just use the forums for Support, to ask a question or report a bug, but they often don't then hang around afterwards to chat further once their issue has been addressed. We have about 95,000 registered users here, but only a small proportion actively post. There is also a Facebook Chat Group , but that seems to mostly consist of, in roughly equal measures, people asking for the best equalizer settings, people showing off their own Player Screens (for some reason), and people asking what skin the second lot are using and can they have a free copy.

Fix the selected view (default browsing method)
andrewilley replied to Vache's topic in Poweramp Feature Requests
You can configure whether the Folders link in that pop-up menu goes to the 'Folders' or 'Folders Hierarchy' views by using PA Settings=>Look and Feel=>Player Screen=>'Navigate to the Folders'. By default it is set to Off, which means the link takes you to 'Folders Hierarchy', but if you enable that setting it will go to 'Folders' view instead. Remember that simply viewing a new category using those four links does not change the existing playback mode though - so even though you are now viewing a Folders Hierarchy songs list, playback will continue using the existing order as defined in (for example) the Recently Added category. If you tap on the currently playing song, playback will continue using the new Category order (to avoid the song being started again from the beginning, disable the option PA Settings=>Library=>Lists=>Click Restarts Track).

Fix the selected view (default browsing method)
andrewilley replied to Vache's topic in Poweramp Feature Requests
Tapping on the cover artwork area is intended to always show you the song you are listening to in its "currently playing" category order. So if you had started playing from the 'Recently Added' view, that is the Category which you will be taken back to when you tap on the cover. From there you can see the next and other forthcoming songs in their playback order. If you wish to be taken straight to the Library overview, or to your chosen default Home Library Category (for example, my default is set to 'Folders Hierarchy') just tap on the Library icon instead: Additionally, you can also long-press on the cover art area (or alternatively tap on the three-dots menu icon) to see the currently playing song within a different category, in case you perhaps want to choose a new song from the same Album, Folder, Genre, etc. If you do tap on a new song from the selected list, that will become the currently playing song and the viewed Category will be used to control the upcoming songs sequence.

Fix the selected view (default browsing method)
andrewilley replied to Vache's topic in Poweramp Feature Requests
You can set the default view shown when you tap the Library icon. From the top-level Library view, tap the three-dots menu, select List Options, and long-press on the Category that you wish to use as the default. (This choice can later be overridden by long-pressing on the Library icon rather than just tapping). But from the Player Screen, tapping on the album artwork area will always take you to the current playback category list (e.g. back to Recently Played if that's the category you manually launched playback from). Andre -
There's a lot of cross-dependence between the artwork (Other) settings, the background details and style, and the size and shape of the widget on your homepage. But I agree that one setting often interacts with another in perhaps unpredictable ways. Andre

It sounds as though you have got read access to your music folder (and hence all of its subfolders, such as your playlists in the 'Playlist_Manager' folder) but not write access for editing/deleting/etc. One way to check would be to try to delete a song file (after having made a copy first obviously) and see if that works. Might be worth disabling storage access in the Music Folders menu (so zero songs in Library) and then granting access to your main music folder again. You don't say which Android version your headunit is running (sometimes they are quite out of date) but I'd start with Legacy File Access Mode turned OFF. Andre

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
andrewilley replied to oskado's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Remember that 'Date Added to Library' applies only to individual songs. Any other Category levels - such as folders, albums, etc - will just be interpreted as best guesses based on the Added dates of the contained files (usually that would be the Date of the first contained song encountered in the scanning process, which has nothing to do with alphabetical or any other sorting order, it's low-level raw filesystem ordering). The date that a given file was first Added to the Library is an internal field though, nothing is visible in the regular list views. Modifying the audio or tag contents of a file won't change its Date Added to Library, but changing anything about the filename or its overall path will. Andre -
That is a skin related issue, it shouldn't occur on the default skins. Or revert to the last stable release build of Poweramp, which should also work. Andre

Shuffle mode keeps turning off and Repeat keeps turning on
andrewilley replied to Byron's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
@Donnie1490 Make sure you are running the latest beta build of Poweramp (981) and enable Settings=>Headset/Bluetooth=>Ignore Repeat/Shuffle. That should make Poweramp ignore the Repeat or Shuffle commands that are being sent to it. If this does not work for you, please post your 'Last Processed Commands' log here (from the same menu).

Reset Image Cache seemingly does nothing.
andrewilley replied to Red6785's topic in Using Poweramp - Q&A
Very strange then. Using Settings=>Album Art=>Delete Cache should prompt you first, and then delete any image files found in the Android/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer/files/ subfolders. Try a test of creating a new cached image file by (for example) choosing a new image for an Artist and then check that the new picture file has been saved into the expected selected_artist subfolder. Andre -
Reset Image Cache seemingly does nothing.
andrewilley replied to Red6785's topic in Using Poweramp - Q&A
You can still access the Android/data hierarchy via USB cable from a PC, even after Google's ridiculous locking down, without needing to use Shizuku. But it's a pain to have to do either. However 'Delete Cache' should work to remove the contents of the cache folders, I just tried it on my second device and it worked exactly as expected. Is it possible you updated your system at some point but might have imported settings, as the path for the cache used to be different a few years ago (there used to be an underscore prefix to com.maxmpz.audioplayer). Just clutching at straws really as I can't think of any other reasons why it would be possible to set new cover artwork but not remove the cache. Andre -
List/Sort by filename - Weird behaviour
andrewilley replied to audiofile.flac's topic in Using Poweramp - Q&A
Hmm, should be OK after 3 posts and a few days. Try going via the main voting index (you can place votes directly on that page too): https://forum.powerampapp.com/ideas/?mode=popular Andre -
It's now been properly broken again by some recent Google/Samsung Android 14 update. The workaround of rolling back the system Files app version no longer allows access to the subfolders in Android/Data/ via Solid Explorer. Grrrrr... Anyone else got any other bright ideas, apart from rooting or using USB cable access from a computer (which does still work) ? Andre
