Lock screen controls seem quite broken. Skipping tracks on lockscreen doesn't seem to change the track title which stays the exact same. Seems only the first track played will show on the lockscreen for some reason 

It works well on me...  Only the PA lock screen dont

Max, write on http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=194117 about your presence. Without you, the topic will not be open.

[Rocketval]

@andrewilley I think Max or you should create a google sheets file to list bugs, version of android, how to replicate the issue and maybe a log. Otherwise it's gonna be really hard to read every post about issues.

@maxmp, Small request. If there is time. Give it to the moderators of the 4da, for the branch of the player is closed before your arrival on the forum. (https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=194117)

Yeah, having the same issue on my BlackBerry KEYone running Nougat. :/

Working here on my Black BB KeyOne.

Did you give acces permission?

Did you install fresh or updated the 704 build?

Soon as I lock my screen, the music stops.

I installed on the top of 704, should we do a complete uninstall and reinstall?

Same!

Thanks again @maxmp awsome Ui, have you considered to to add Album Artist grid view to display Artist Images?

[dragolds]

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, but list option doesn't work on my zte axon 7 2017G. By click on it nothing happens 

[timwelter99]

Report:

Not sure if this was mentioned yet but single file FLAC + cue file albums are not showing up in the player. This worked on 704.

[Roy Austine]

Wow! Thanks man

[Raein]

I love new feel overall, but Max, the progress bar is absolutely awful! Impossible to see the track progress, please make at least an option to use the old progress linear bar

[manjot97]

Ok so on the lockscreen of my S8. If you skip tracks that are in the same album/folder, the name doesn't change at all and even my last fm fails to recognise the track change.

Cannot assign equalizer to different media device modes such as aux / Bluetooth in the newly released beta build 790

Play Store beta releases will probably not be issued while the version is so feature-incomplete, please download new beta updates manually from here in the meantime.

Thanks a lot for the help! Are there any features in the latest build which need to be unlocked with the unlocker? Sorry for so many questions..?

You would need to use 'Hierarchical' folders view to do that, rather than 'List' mode. Unfortunately the List Options screen which provides that mode (along with sorting options) is not yet implemented in the preview release. I'm sure it'll be back soon though.

Andre

Thnx for clarifying this Andre. As @otama I'm a folderplayer as well. One of the reasons I've never switched to another player is the flexibility Poweramp offers. Not only for database users, but for users who prefer folder view as well. No other app offers this amount of flexibility. I sure hope all the list options and hierarchical folder view will return in the next beta. Since these functions were available in the previous beta's I have good hope that hierarchical folder view is one of the features that are only left out in this beta and will return in following updates.

After years of following this board, this is my first post. I always appreciated Poweramp as it was, so no need to post on this board, but I was always curious about how the app could be made even better. I was hoping for chromecast/DLNA support since Poweramp has always been my main music app since I switched to Android and this would help making it my daily driver in house as well. I'm sure Max will ad this feature somewhere along the way. This being my first post I would like to thnx @maxmp for the years of joy you gave us with the previous versions of Poweramp and now the joy this beta brings. Thnx for your hard work and keeping up with the compaints in this communicty. At the end of the day Poweramp is and will be the best music player for android available. @andrewilley thnx for the excellent job you're doing in moderating this board. It isn' the easiest community to manage.    

Looking forward to how the app developes from here on.

Human beings mainly.

Gestures are good in moderation, but when you start having to swipe a bit for one thing, a bit more for something else, or start at the edge or middle to get different results, then they start to get clumsy, counter-intuitive and easy to trigger by accident. And I still can't find out how to change to another folder/album directly from the player screen (Next List, Prev List) - has anyone worked this out yet?

A simple set of buttons, with a single function on each (OK, plus maybe a long-press function) is the perfect way to control most single-action operations IMHO. Swipe is fine for analogue operations though, such as volume controls, playback scrubbing, etc. I don't hate gestures as an option (and I'll agree that swipe to change tracks is fairly sensible) but I have them turned off in Settings for all my current PA installations.

I am loving the overall look, animations, and excellent fluidity of the interface though, it's really pretty.

Andre

To change album/list is swiping up or down the answer you're looking for?

Without the unlocker you will only be able to use PA (any version) for the trial period, it will become blocked after that.

Thanks! A lot less clipping now. Guess that changes sampling from 32bits to 24bits, maybe??

Why less clipping? There should be NO clipping at all. Clipping is intolerable.

I am actually not sure what exactly this option does in the first place but apparently we are better without it.

[dhamara]

I had some problem

Poweramp can't open Artists, genres, playlist, top rated, and recently added. The others works smoothly.

I'm on Redmi 5 Plus, CrDroid 8.1.0

I had the same issue too. Maybe these features are not yet completed? I am using the LG V20, everything else works fine for now and it's a damn awesome music player! Guess I can live with the player for daily use without those features yet.

[Bluehacks]

@maxmp  im using  Redmi note 4x stock miui 9 android 7.0

When I activate the hi res output...at higher volume sound gets cranky when on higher bass..is this a bug? Or anyone facing it?

Can anyone share the ideal setting or help me out with this issue?

Cc @andrewilley

[Filip777]

It's working great on my HTC 10 (Oreo 8.0 android), there's no audio delay (massive latency) like before when using Hi-Res (OpenSL ES HD output), also no clipping when pausing/resuming a song or elsewhere (Float32 Sample Format enabled). No crashes so far.

 

- I assume that Hi-Res is working (not just showing that it works) on the HTC 10 judging by the screenshot below, since it has a dedicated audio DAC, but hell what do I know.

 

To get this "Audio info" below, you need to hold down that little info bubble above the Poweramp navigation bar in the Player section.

Using wired headset (headphones), also HTC BoomSound with Dolby audio works with Hi-Res output for the first time.

Thats too much work i feel when max himself knows about the bugs .. why should he provide us with the bug logs if he is the only one developing it .. as of now we can wait for the stable release or temporarily go back to the stable alpha .. in my case im gonna continue with this version itself as it does not hinder me from listening to my songs
