Futify (spotify client) need beta testers

@manland Thanks & It's working just nice. I hope to find a version of this app that you approve stable in the OpenStore, soon.

@manland Fantastic work! I have been looking for a good way to utilize spotify on UT and had been relying on running it in anbox. I'm happy to see this work is going on.

I was able to download and install Futify on my OPO. I've started using and testing it. I've been keeping a list of issues I come across. Some of them might be true issues (i.e. not all my playlists are loaded). Others might be more feature-request-like (ability to shuffle songs in playlist, repeat a single song in a playlist, continuous loop of songs in a playlist).

Would you prefer I submit these in a single issue on gitlab or open them up separately?

Thanks again for your hard work. I am really excited about this app!

@aclifton314 thank you for your motivating post! I prefer 1 issue by 1. Because i will close quickly some of them... and keep other for long time... and gitlab will help you to find duplicate one!

Have fun!

@manland I just flashed my Fairphone 2 back on the Halium 5.1 port instead of the beta 7.1 port and can't reproduce the bug anymore, I'm now able to log in successfully. As the port I was using was beta, let's say this bug isn't an issue anymore at the moment, I'll bring it back if it is still there when the 7.1 port will become official. Thank you for your time.

I did open the app for a long time but tried it and now the problem is here again. Entering my username and my password, pressing login and nothing happens.

@Fla can you send some logs with the help of logviewer (available in openstore) please?

Fla · 2 Nov 2020, 21:34

@manland and now it worked again... Maybe I was just wrongly entering the password. A message in the front-end saying that the authentication failed would be useful (if there is one, then it is not visible with the dark theme).

Also, why using it, I had a crash:

I think it will clear 90% of bugs The first hink in my todo list when I finish vpn things... ASAP

@manland I just submitted several issues gained from my experience using the app. In no way am I implying these things are missing and the app is bad. Quite the opposite. I wanted to give you as much feedback as I could so that the app succeeds! Thank you again for all your hardwork. I'll keep testing on my end.

Hello, people. I am new to UT and I would like to try this application out. The problem is, I don't know what file to download and install via the UT-Tweak tool.
I'm on the latest UT update on a Nexus 6P.

Thx in advance

The .click file only.
But i don't know if it's the armhf or arm64 you need for your device.

manland · 17 Nov 2020, 12:40

@branja6 Hi welcome!

Download the click file arm64 or armhf (I don't know what arch is on the nexus 6P but someone else will help )
Install UT-Tweak tool (from the open store)
Install the click package with it (menu top left, system-settings, install click package)

Enjoy

Edit: Following this tuto you need arm64 click package

@manland Does it work with non-premium accounts? Because I can't seem to log in...

@Keneda I hope it will be supported in the future. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

kugiigi · 18 Nov 2020, 07:38

@branja6 Honestly, I won't hold my breath for that. I don't think there's any official spotify API so implementing ads would be hard.

danfro · 4 Dec 2020, 12:01

I am not a Spotify/Futify user, so I am not sure about its current state.

But quite often people ask for a spotify client. So if it is working with a basic functionality, how about releasing it to OpenStore (marked as beta if applicable)?

kugiigi · 4 Dec 2020, 12:12

I think the main issue is that songs are downloaded in playable format and that might have legal issues or something.

manland · 4 Dec 2020, 12:30

Yes user can grab song from spotify through futify... I have implemented a workaround and will put a version on open-store ASAP, but this year is so particular, you know... I mean, I make all I can today. And progress at my own rhythm.

And community have a version in gitlab ready to use (I use it everyday), yes there are some bugs but app works great.

Be patient futify will come

danfro · 4 Dec 2020, 12:40

Sure. Take your time, even more in those special times. I did not want to rush you or put pressure on you. It was merely supposed to be a suggestion.

Thanks for the work anyway. The demand proofes that you are working on something important.
