[Tidal Streams]

@Splungeworthy if you forced Tidal to play on MAX, it will use hi-res output and that is usually does not support equalization (depends on firmware/device though). Change MAX plan to lower plan and it should work.

[Multiple albums with the same name]

@viharm Poweramp combines songs into albums based on album name (case insensitive) + album artist or artist tags (case insensitive). Year does not participate in this process. This is mostly due to the year being not reliable for the tracks in the wild, and applying year to the album splitting will break most existing libraries in user unexpected way.

[Poweramp on galaxy z flip 5 cover screen]

@Maria from your screenshots, it seems you have no enough space for "alternative layout" option - so you may want to disable that. And also you have larger system fonts/scaling which further reduces avail space, as for me the "half" screen layout looks like this (this is ~976 build, older builds may behave differently):

Generally, it's not possible to make all Poweramp skin option combinations to work on any screen size/aspect out of there, so skin options adjustments may be needed.

 

[Poweramp auto start when bluetooth connected]

@eng3 if from the log there is MEDIA_RESUME command, it will be catched and last played audio player will resume. If it doesn't work this way - it's generally a bug (player does not respond to MEDIA commands, which are usually the commands from headset buttons, some lockscreens, or car headunits). I guess some option is possible to ignore some MEDIA_* commands, but this may be hard to tune properly as the affected headunit (which sends MEDIA_RESUME action, usually due to some "Resume" option on connect in it).

[Problem with Youtube Music / Android 14]

@Bernhardo try to disable Direct Volume Control (DVC) in Equalizer settings and check if this works. You may need to reduce preamp if basses overload after that. 

[Poweramp not displaying embedded artwork on certain FLAC and MP3 tracks]

@GouryellaIV thanks for the test files. I've checked and the files contains album art with Type=255. This is not standard type (there are only 20 types) and Poweramp shows only specific types (FrontCover, Other, Media). So, basically, files with that non standard type do not strictly follow FLAC format, nor this is documented, nor can be somehow predicted and supported before the affected file is on hands for the local testing/investigation. I will add support for non-standard FLAC files like this into the next builds. 

[ISSUE -Poweramp EQ cutting out]

@Ronin22 it’s killed by some sort of background task killer/ battery optimizer. Add Poweramp Equalizer to the exceptions list.

[Problem with Youtube Music / Android 14]

@Bernhardo try to disable compressor and equalizer (via equ button) - does it help? If so, it’s either the compressor settings or equ preamp.

Does youtube video player have this problem?

[Bass boost with greater precision]

First, this is Poweramp player forum category, not Equalizer, so I’ll move the topic appropriately.

As for very precise low frequency bands tweaking in Equalizer it may require increasing Block size to increase resolution of the FFT used in Equalizer app. The whole processed spectrum is evenly divided, and while Equalizer tries to approximate parametric/graphic bands/settings to these fixed FFT bands, you may have like 10hz+ or so resolution, which may not be enough for 100% accurate lower bands.

Increasing block size increases resolution, but it also increases cpu load and smearing, so there is a trade off.

 

[Request for UPnP/DLNA support to stream cloud music library to Poweramp]

@Raalnewtes thanks for the request. DNLA/Upnp is a local network protocol, it's not a cloud protocol. If you mean you want to access your home NAS, it's already possible with plugins (CIFS Documents Provider), but it won't work well for larger libraries due to need for scan for tags. Same for cloud storages, they are much slower and only folder based access realistically possible within Poweramp (which runs on your device, it doesn't have any cloud components, may be except chromecast support).

 

 

[add loudness]

@Slimbo preamp changes level of the signal before Poweramp DSP, as well as other Poweramp volume related gains (Replay gain, No DVC Gain, etc.).

[Create a perfect bit system]

@Chrisclonaldo mqa is loseless DRM and licensed format, so perfect bit is not possible with it, and it requires payments from users (for example, subscription or in-app purchase) to enable - that I try to avoid. Also bit perfect playback is only possible on DAPs, and USB DACs, but not via phone 3.5/Bluetooth/Speaker outputs. This is planned though.

[Frequently Requested Features Index and Voting List]

I will open the forum voting area quite soon (for all registered members) so we can prioritize things from this list. Most of the Poweramp features were requested by users, but previously they were randomly picked from the list of the requests.

[Poweramp for iOS]

Actually, I'm keeping the eye on few tools which may help port Poweramp to iOS - Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform. The latter is a cross platform UI framework which can be used for Poweramp, but it still in alpha. Using these frameworks, it's possible to share major part of codebase, and it would be possible to port Poweramp to iOS and Desktop (PC, Mac).

[Add Furigana support]

@Feuerswut thanks, looks like missing symbols for the font and no fallback to the default font is happening. Could you please share that LRC or track (if lyrics is embedded) - gpmaxmpz@gmail.com. Thanks!

[Poweramp not playing through bluetooth if last played through Android Auto?]

@Eckless does the line "19:05:12.102 AppScannerSupport PAUSE pause_on_headset USB disconnection/AA" corresponds to that screen off/pause event? 

If so, this is headset disconnection event which Poweramp has to obey and pause. You can verify by temporarily disabling "Pause On Headset Disconnect". I'll try to reproduce this on 14QPR2 as well.

[Android 14]

@kamaleon this is a planned feature. Thanks for the request.

[Library is slow to load]

Legacy / non-legacy mode is not an issue here - it's only affects scanning time and Poweramp is optimized and quite fast in normal mode scanning on the recent devices. Is Poweramp actually finished with the scan on your device (Settings / Library shows no progress)?

[The Poweramp can't play specific AAC files]

@ufedor not that soon. I updated my post on how make it playable. Thanks!

[The Poweramp can't play specific AAC files]

@ufedor thanks for the file. Large id3v2 image caused adts desync. I added support for raw aac files with id3v2 tag like this to the next build. You can make it playable in the current Poweramp builds by removing album art images or for example, changing it to somewhat else (currently the image takes 5mb of 8.9 mb aac file and is not that high quality anyway, but it's not the most extreme case I've seen).

[Add Furigana support]

@Feuerswut thanks for the request, but if you means lyrics rendering, Poweramp displays text as is, it doesn't process text itself. If text is unicode, it should be properly displayed for all the symbols included into the font.

[Unable to or only partially able to read metadata from Flac files.]

@R.M Lebara thanks for that investigation. If you manage to find the failing folder/song - please share it by sending from the storage directly (of course if it’s readable) - gpmaxmpz@gmail.com

[Current time display?]

@andrewilley there is no such control, we can show or hide it and manipulate background under the status bar.

[Chrome casting not working]

@Arlaor Chromecast is media playback device designed for the Internet content. Local content was never considered for it by Google for obvious reasons, so there is no simple solution for it, but Poweramp casting works fine provided devices can talk to each other in the local network.

[Guide to what compressor settings do?]

@jwrobinson1 Poweramp Equalizer controls 2 bands of multi band compressor, the frequency sets that frequency. If set to 24khz or 20hz it's basically the single band. Otherwise it's like 2 independent compressors with the same parameters - one for the 0 -> frequency, and another one for frequence -> max. freq. bands.
