[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley something to go on. I have seen it but cannot reproduce it at will. I will verify the style definitions 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley yes, I have come across it toobutwould have absolutely no idea where to look to resolve this. 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley no, could not find any reason why it would not show

@maxmp thank you.

[Storage permission issue in Android 12]

@T H in new Jersey no just transfer your sdcard to your new phone, set permissions in Poweramp 

enable

This will launch the file picker, where you now select your music folder and allow access

repeat the process for each storage

You may need to select the different storage first from the menu

end result

 

 

[Storage permission issue in Android 12]

@T H in new Jersey basically, this is Google's new "security" world. Certain folders can no longer be accessed by other apps, all other folders the user gives explicit premissions. There is no way around this

For Poweramp all this needs access to your music folder(s). Other apps will need to adhere to the same rules so they are not going to be any different.

Underneath all this is that google are also quietly trying to get rid of the external sdcard so life gets even harder for programmers

@maxmp

Trying to style the new menu buttons in Library Views

build.gradle:

    aaptOptions {
        def localProps = new Properties()
        localProps.load(rootProject.file("local.properties").newDataInputStream())
        def paResources = localProps['Poweramp-build-935-uni.apk'] ?: "Poweramp-build-918-resources.zip"

        additionalParameters "--emit-ids", "stable-ids.txt",
                "--package-id", "0x80",
                "-I", "${projectDir}/../${paResources}"
        if(rootProject.file("stable-ids.txt").exists()) {
            additionalParameters "--stable-ids", "stable-ids.txt"
        }
    }

Poweramp-build-935-uni.apk exists in the appropriate folder

        <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:ItemTextHeaderSearchButton_scene_bottom_toolbar">
            @style/ItemHeaderSearchButton_scene_bottom_toolbar
        </item>

    <style name="ItemHeaderSearchButton_scene_bottom_toolbar" parent="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:ItemTextHeaderSearchButton_scene_bottom_toolbar">
        <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:drawableTint">?com.maxmpz.audioplayer:colorIconPrimary
        </item>
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/library_stroke_corners_large_bg</item>
    </style>

AAPT: error: style attribute 'com.maxmpz.audioplayer:attr/ItemTextHeaderSearchButton_scene_bottom_toolbar' not found.

Is there another resources .zip to be released, am I missing something or do you have to expose the new artifacts

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley is this a new setting in the latest release?

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley, can you see what happened, I had just responded to this post, clicked submit reply then the site went down. Now I cannot find the post nor the poster

[File Access Component is missing]

@Alex Ne you could try my music playlist manager which uses that very same filepicker for exactly the same purpose, assigning pemissions

This would tell you immediately  if the issue is with powramp or your device. It is a paid for app but i can issue a refund anytime

[What skins do people use.]

@Rabangus @hypomaniac-eric 👍, Eric even has a spectrum with his name !!

[Option to disable "automatic cover art"]

@Tmk100 or you could just hide it alltogether using Yaps where you can hide most ui elements

@Mark89 for app support, please contact me by email.

[Album 5 star rating support / Half star support]

@6b6561 today (24/4/22) i released a new version of mpm which shows the album rating. The principle can of course be applied to other categories such as artists, genres etc. My next release will allow you to rate an album in one go ( effectively rating its tracks with the same value)

By the way, ratings was always a part of the Poweramp database, it is just a matter of applying them in different contexts which i am in the process of developing. Any input from forum members will be appreciated

[Random Sort Order of album, artist and track browser screens.]

Further functionality based upon track ratings,  added in the latest release V3069.

NEW: Album Sort option based on album

ratings added to menu so you can list your most popular albums first.

 

NEW: Ratings can be changed when viewing a Poweramp playlist detail by swiping the stars.

This makes is very easy and quick rather that to access each track individually.

This is instantly reflected in Poweramp.

 

Average Poweramp Playlist rating now show as rating stars

 

NEW: Average Album rating shows as rating stars in Poweramp Library Album View (sum of ratings / album tracks count)

[Album 5 star rating support / Half star support]

@MotleyG yes it would be a calculated value int(sum of ratings/no tracks)

I will endeavour to add this to the library album view

[Album 5 star rating support / Half star support]

@MotleyG oops, i missed the album rating bit. I guess it has to be the average of the ratings recorded for those album tracks. I already provide an average rating for a playlist

Let's not split hairs, as such you are right, a album is just a group of items that shares a common sets of tags but for the majority of users, these are albums. I would guess that there is already a table in the database for these pseudo albums as you are able to sort them by date added so adding a column in the DB for holding a rating is not a big thing.

What requires a lot of work are the changes in the GUI, and enabling album ratings would probably open up another can of worms what comes to requests in this area. A simple first implementation could be as "easy" as:

• Add a column to the DB for the album rating.
• Allow user to rate album by long pressing the rating icon on the album cover.
  • Short press - rate track.
  • Long press - rate album.
• Add rating as sort option to the album categories in the library.

And after this see what comes out of the famous can.

So I see "album" ratings as a realistic and feasible request that I second.

Although more than a year old, a column for rating has always existed,

the only issue is that when the database is first populated, the ratings are not part of that process. Whilst there has been a lot of discussion on this, I have developed this functionality quite a while ago in my app Music Playlist Manager. The routine reads the POPM (aka Popularimeter) tag, down/upscales the value to a value in the range 1-5 and updates the rating in the Poweramp database

 

 

[Browse by Genre...then by Artist....then by Album.]

You can achieve any sort order by using the "smart playlist" functionality of Music Playlist Manager by building your own query.

@6b6561 I may have mentioned this previously, MPM can generate playlists of randomly selecting albums.
