@chrisse can you test with last version here please?

I will try tomorrow or next week with the latest version.

manland

@chrisse and @pixelated yes should be fixed in last build if not the case please open an issue with exact scenario and playlist name

manland

@pixelated home page blank is my next Todo task I think I have found what to put in it

@Lakotaubp Why is that a problem actually?

Lakotaubp

@Flohack Sorry not sure what you mean. It's just that @manland has set it up using librspot which will not work with the free account that's all.

Ok interesting, here is the explanation: This will remain the case for the foreseeable future, as we are unlikely to work on implementing the features such as limited skips and adverts that would be required to make librespot compliant with free accounts.

@Flohack Thanks for the answer. Now I know why.

Thanks for this effort! Could you configure the CI to keep its artefacts a little longer? I am on the road and latest build already has its artefacts removed.

manland

@jonius Yes of course I will! I have relaunch the last build if you are here https://gitlab.com/frenchutouch/futify/-/pipelines/156270318

Thank you for this new build! Huge improvements on my Nexus 5.
Now I can click on songs to play them and I can easily navigate through the songs in the queue.
Another improvement: when I search for songs while listening to a playlist or an album, if I click on a song from my search results, it plays directly, it is not added last in the queue.
The only problem so far: when charging a long playlist, the queue is kind of blocked until all the songs are loaded. In this case, if I click on another song from my search results, it doesn't play and is added last in the queue instead. I tried several times and I think that it happens only when the queue is not fully loaded. If I have a queue fully loaded (I have only tried with albums or short playlists, I haven't had the time to wait until a long playlist is fully loaded), then I can play another song from my search results without problems.

I haven't had the time to play around much more, but just one small thing that could be improved in my opinion: when you make a search and find an album, if you click on it, it displays the album first, and then the songs. You can click on the songs, but if you want to play the whole album, you have to click on the small play icon (top right). It could be easier to click on the album on the top of the list, like you do with songs.

Kudos for the good work! I look forward to making more testing!

I am trying to log in using my wife premium account but nothing happens. Maybe that's because she uses her Facebook account to do it?
Thanks a lot for your great work!

Spotify offered me 3 months of free premium subscription so I was able to test this
It's awesome that a very mainstream app can have a native app. However, I do have a concern about its legality though. It looks like it downloads songs in OGG format before playback and I can even copy those OGG and play them with the music app. Is that even possible on Android and iOS for offline playback? Also, perhaps you can check how Cloud Music does the streaming. It seems to me that it does actual streaming and not downloads the whole songs first. Well I'm not exactly sure but I tried looking for its downloaded files but I did no see anything.

In any case, great job and good luck!

There is an option in cloud music to enable download.

Hopefully I’m not contributing to some type of an echo chamber. But I am having issues with any kind of playback. I’ll pick a playlist/album and attempt to play it seems most of songs on the playlist don’t completely download so I am unable to play them. All the tracks have a percentage of 50% next to them.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I’m on a Pinephone.

kugiigi

@tnywatkns It's not working on my pinephone as well. The songs are downloaded fine but the playback isn't working. Playing the downloaded song in the music app works though.
