Futify (spotify client) need beta testers
-
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.
-
@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.
-
@kugiigi Yes I know about that and I know it's not compliant with spotify rules. A way is to encrypt the song... Another is to really stream song but in this case I loose meta info of song and the media-hub is empty. I don't push this binary on the open-store because of that!
The lib I use behind the scene is also a violation of spotify rules... But they don't kill it! Because with it lot of applications are build to use spotify where the compagny can't (don't want). Like raspberry, terminal, iot devices and I hope UbTouch
Today the last build remove cache on start and when the app finish... Don't know what to do, please help me

@manland I can play a little bit designing some logos, if you want! Where do I find the UT guideline regarding logo design? Thanks!
-
@kugiigi Here you go:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/teams/ux-des/ubuntu-touch-human-interface-guidelines---hib/-/wikis/home
The design guidelines by ubports are somewhat bare bones and need to be substituted by the old ones by canonical at a lot of places. But the two pages on logo design are pretty complete and helpful. They are what I used when designing the current logo. -
@kugiigi Alright, does the music player need to pointed towards the folder with files or will it just "pick them up"? Also if I close Futify do the song files persist?
-
@tnywatkns music player need to be pointed (and it's an hidden folder in .cache) and yes if you close futify songs will be deleted. Next step is to encrypt songs like that other app can't play song... I don't have better idea today
-
@manland Cool, I wish I could contribute something more meaningful other than bug reports/complaints. I would be efficient as a toddler with coding assistance. I've just somewhat learned HTML/CSS this year (if you consider that coding) and I can do some bash scripting as well.
EDIT: Forgot to add, keep up the great work! Don't feel too discouraged. You're doing something a lot of other people (like me) wouldn't know the first thing about doing.
-
Yeah, I noticed that in Cloud Music, meta data are not displayed in media hub/sound indicator during playback. I have no experience with media hub yet but maybe I can help with this project once I'm with the current project I'm working on.
Anyway, I wonder how the library was made if Spotify doesn't of it. Right now, I'm just worried you put a lot of effort in this then Spotify will suddenly put it down. At least, maybe we should find a way to hide the downloaded songs because in its current state, I can basically download all songs I want and cancel my account LOL

I just installed the app but can't log in. When I press the login button the app freezes.

@Fla you need a premium account not a free one
-
@manland i do have a premium account.
-
@Fla Can you provide some logs? log viewer can help you if you don't know how to get them!
-
@manland http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tGv7dBx9th/ there you go
-
@Fla Thank you! Your apparmor refuse futify make a request... I don't know why!? What is your phone, os version? Are you on devel or stable release? How have you installed futify?
-
@manland I'm running a one month old devel build on a Fairphone 2 with the Halium 7.1 beta build using the Suru dark theme.
Those apparmor messages are common and shouldn't be a problem I think. I would be more concerned by

@Fla Music app works n your setup? I use the same system to add user metrics.
-
@manland the music app has the same apparmor messages but works correctly.
-
@Fla Ok I find it
Thank you, I have open a bug https://gitlab.com/frenchutouch/futify/-/issues/17 I fix it in the next build! -
Is the app still available to download? I admit I am not the most familiar with GitLab but I can't find the click files.
