Hi All, my fork of Tempo has had a rebrand, which was a requirement to get back into the app stores as the original Tempo still exists in F-Droid/IzzyOnDroid

Tempus v4.0.7

Attention

This release will not update previous installs as it is considered a new app, no longer Tempo, new icon, new app id, and new app name. Hoping it will not be a huge inconvenience but was necessary in order to publish to app stores izzyDroid

Android Auto Support should be the same as before, however, I was not able to test any of the icons/visuals, so please let me know if there are any remnants of the tempo logo/icon as I believe I removed them all and replaced them successfully.

What's Changed

fix: Crash on share no expiration date or field returned from api
fix: Check also underlying transport 
feat: Unhide genre from album details view 
fix: persist album sorting on resume 
chore: Tempus rebrand 
chore: Update Polish translation 

Now available via the IzzyOnDroid Repository -> https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.eddyizm.degoogled.tempus

note:

app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

In particular, any android dev is familiar android auto to help me set up a dev environment

great work i hope you are able to fix some of the issues, inherited from tempo, that keep me on symphonium

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I have fixed a bunch of bugs/crashes but there are more as we peel back the layers as we also start to add new features.

[–] sheinar@feddit.uk 7 points 6 days ago

Massive thanks for this. I've been using non-OSS Symfonium for a while as I could not find a decent OSS client, but this looks really good!

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Downloaded and works really nice! Thanks so much flr taking on this fork 🤟

I have found one bug (can open an issue if you prefer), where when on the Home screen, at the bottom i can 'reorganize' my layout, however im not able to make "Playlists" category appear at all.

Screenshots:

Edit: I downloaded app from Izzy.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hi Sips, The playlists don't show up by default when you select that flag - (this is confusing i know) But you have to go to the playlist -select the option to ADD TO HOME, Then it will show up on your home if that part is enabled.

There are issues with playlists in general and inparticular with the home location, if you see the issues there are some open ones intend to get to soon but there is a playlist revamp that is needed so there is that.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes got it now thanks 🤟

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Feel free to make a PR to add this to the documentation, i am hoping to document more and could use the help -> https://eddyizm.github.io/tempus/USAGE.html

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Will do during this weekend when i get the time ☺️

Thanks! I was the guy that proved Android auto functionality was working 😄 and I was wondering if you could implement the 5 stars scoring system instead of the single "heart". Got a lot of music I want to get rid of. Thanks again!

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm still working on setting up an android auto dev environment. It's been a challenging however I've made progress so I may have it up soon.

That being said, I've been told I need to make sure I pass the safety test/guidance to get into the google play store.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is that needed for the 5 star song points?

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I need a dev environment to even see the changes I make actually make it there. There is a flag to enable the 5 star rating on the main screen, it's off by default. Have you tried that? I am not sure if that transfers to auto (i don't think it does)

As far as the safety thing, I have to read the docs -> I believe there are guidelines and if it fails them, they block the whole app. So I want to keep it simple until I understand the requirements.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah, rightm. no worries. It works great anyway

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not out of the question, there are a lot of requests for android auto in the repo, I just can't get to them yet with any confidence until I can test.

Some ideas are good, but I will use the safety rules as a hard guidance once I do get to it.

I did get to use auto while on holiday and it was sweet. I can see wanting more control but also feel too much can be a bit dangerous, might as well be looking at my phone while driving which is bad lol.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well sucks to be me I guess

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

hi @flightyhobler@lemmy.world the degoogled version does not work with android auto - you need the github version with the google stuff

[–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Nice!! Setting up now.

Edit: I've installed tempus and connected it to my subsonic server. I have a mix of m4a, MP3, flac and opus.

So far, it looks great.

Any features you want tested?

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks, Not particularly. I've already have a bug where something broken between updates I'm tracking down but feel free to open a ticket if you find something that is not already a open issue.

[–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well, I've been running Tempus alongside Tempo for a day and I'm ready to switch over, I'm uninstalling Tempo.

I use an always-on VPN back to my network and try to use my own collection as much as possible.

  • I scrobble to listenbrainz, and this works well.
  • Playlists work well
  • I mostly listen to opus-encoded music, this is great.

Overall, a great experience, thank you.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Glad to hear!

Depending on which version of Tempo you switched it, most things would be the same as I had forked it at 3.9 and started my releases at 3.10 I love listenbrainz! Playlists still need work. the only format I've seen consistent issues is wma (i know i have some old files I had to replace)

Great! Love this app!

Right now I'm using Jellyfin for my music server. If I ever switch back to subsonic / navidrome, then you're my number one pick by a mile. Thank you for making this!

[–] vividspecter@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago

Some subsonic clients also support Jellyfin servers, so that could be a useful addition here (although I'm happy with Navidrome myself).
