Futify (spotify client) need beta testers

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

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.

Any updates to this project or a build that I can download?

Hi here! I have some good news.

After lot of tests, hacks, implementations, delete, retry... I have find a way to produce a working version which does not compromise spotify data.

In the way to find a good solution, I had rewrite (almost completely) the app

Try it:

If you stop read here, please keep in mind only one thing : You need make futify unsuspendable in UTTT

armhf
arm64

Noticeable changes:

no more download song == only stream: song start immediately but you need make futify unsuspendable in UTTT
update to qt 5.12
update to golang module
use APL (adaptative page layout): no convergence yet but on the way
rework global menu and global navigation
default theme set to dark (can be changed in settings)
when a song can not be played an error song is played (configurable in settings)
display error in login page

Know bug:

media-hub don't display songs infos (hard to fix)
some times playlist stop working (error song was added to be notified of that)

Should be the last version before adding Futify to the open-store! Please stop me if you find a blocking bug!

@manland I definitely like the new layout better (The xx% showing the popularity now has a label). Unfortunately I seem to be able to corrupt the Queue, advancing to the next song eventually leads to the Queue showing 0/0 but the songs that were in the Queue are still listed, and I can't click the circle x (nor any other button) in the Queue.

I went back to one of your previous versions. - Can't say which one since these both show version 1.0.0

Thanks for your hard work.

@manland
Hello,
I'm a new user of UT for a few weeks (OTA-16 stable on xperia X), i'm happy to see you still work on Futify !
I still have the same bug than the previous version :
I'm unable to use Futify over mobile data : the application remains stuck on the splash scree with the blue circle.
While connected on wifi, i don't have this problem.

Thanks again for your work !

@rodnoq
What mobile data network? 2G, 3G or 4G?
It might be a bandwich rate issue.

Rodnoq · 24 Apr 2021, 19:30

@keneda I'm using 4G. Do you have any idea on how to debug this ?

Keneda · 24 Apr 2021, 20:30

@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.

Rodnoq · 25 Apr 2021, 12:49

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 :

danfro · 25 Apr 2021, 13:12

@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.

Lakotaubp · 26 Apr 2021, 05:51

@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!

a8ksh4 · 9 Sept 2021, 17:40

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?

danfro · 18 Sept 2021, 14:31

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

thousandtopics · 19 Sept 2021, 14:55

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