Futify (spotify client) need beta testers

@rodnoq
I'm not a dev, so no idea how to debug anything here :grinning_face_with_sweat:

What you described sounds to me like not enough bandwich to load content, but in 4g that should be good.

However i can tell you to download Logviewer from open store and try to launch Futify while logviewer is running and once futify launched to open the futify log that will prompt in logviewer, then you can share log content here to help more skilled people than me to investigate your issue.

These are the logs I obtained at startup when I use either 4G or wifi :

With 4G, app does't go futher than splash screen with blue circle turning :

With wifi, app runs normaly :

@rodnoq Looks like the step where it fails on mobile data is the login/authentication.

So question (for dev's) is: Does Spotify/Futify somehow restrict IP's or so for logging in? Just guessing on that since I don't use it myself.

@rodnoq Just incase your using a free account i don't think this app works. You need the paid version

Rodnoq · 26 Apr 2021, 19:41

@lakotaubp Yes, that's the case, i have a premium account.

@manland

Thanks so much for the great work! Been using the old version for a few months and was struggling with the download issue: Had to wait forever to get to songs at the bottom of long playlists. Switched to new one and will report back ... Thanks again!

New beta tester here. It works great! Thanks for this great app!

manland · 18 Sept 2021, 13:29

@a8ksh4 welcome onboard! Let me know if something don't work

I have a little regression with new mediahub: when futify is closed song continu to play. Depending on the amount of downloaded songs, could be long. Workaround is: clear queue before stopping app. Not ideal but a reall fix will come.

About the dropped stream the reall fix should be https://github.com/ubports/media-hub/issues/16 but I can also implement a workaround in futify even if with new mediahub i can't reproduce the issue. Anyone can reproduce the bug with latest futify and latest ubtouch?

@manland Just for reference, this sounds like https://github.com/ubports/media-hub/issues/48. This does not affect futify only it seems.

To try it, it is needed to be compiled, right?
It has to be compiled in the desktop?

manland · 19 Sept 2021, 19:22

@thousandtopics no you can download it from gitlab:

Just download click file and open it with openstore to install it

Enjoy!

@manland wow, very much appreciated

@manland Just installed it today 10-07-21 and works like a charm. Thank you for your efforts.

Just installed this and had a play..
It seems a tad laggy on the UBports Pixel 3aXL but im sure that will mature with time.
It also weirdly took a while before it would actually play anything. i had to exit out and go back in for it to work. same thing happened when I tried to log in for the first time.
i see that some of my playlists are not showing in the top bar as well so i had to search for it to play.
Apart from those, it seems to be running quite well. thanks for the app!

Hi, I have started using the app recently and I think that is great, however I have noticed that the app if is left on the background it will stop after a few seconds of playing, the same when the screen goes to sleep, before submiting a ticket I just want to make sure that is a bug and not a setting or something that I am missing I am currently missing version 1.0.0.

Talking about features, I am not sure how feasible a sleep function is, but as someone that enjoys playing music while falling sleep, I think it would be a great addition, it would also be a good idea to display the app version on the about section of the app just to make easy to find this info for debug or inputs coming from testers.

Amazing work regards.

manland · 14 Oct 2021, 10:44

@migue5862 Hi, it's not a bug but a feature :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

You need to make futify unsuspendable in UTTT. Because in UT all apps are "stopped" when phone is sleeping (to economize battery). Download "UT tweak tool" in the store. Search futify in apps and select "unsuspendable"

About the sleep feature, can you explain a bit more what you have in mind please? Or better open a ticket in https://gitlab.com/frenchutouch/futify/-/issues if you can/want

migue5862 · 18 Oct 2021, 21:32

@manland Great, I figured I was missing something, currently is working as it should thanks!!

anonymoustly · 2 Nov 2021, 11:57

but can i also playing offline (Download) Spotify songs?

And the playing song, is that in buffer to save mobile data?

Thierry83 · 22 Nov 2021, 09:23

Hi, I just installed it on a pixel 3a, it works very well so far.
thanks a lot for your great work!

just one annoying point, when you click to play a playlist, it takes minutes before starting and you think it doesn't work. Maybe it download everthing before playing?

manland · 22 Nov 2021, 09:52

@anonymoustly "playing offline" is not implemented today, but I have a way to do it... Just need time! The data is not cached but it should be easy to add an in memory buffer, please open an issue in gitlab to follow this topic

@thierry83 "minutes" seems really to big. No song are pre-downloaded so the app does nothing when you click on play. Maybe the first song is really long to download. When you click on "play", futify create a playlist in media-hub and media-hub start to download first song, when there are some bytes of song, it play it.
