To thanks OTA12, PinePhone and all this amazing community I want to offer a native qml client for spotify. A missing piece in my point of view for ubtouch. Lot of things need to be done before a 1.0 release (and to be add in open-store) but I need some feedback on what is already done.

So if you are adventurous, and have some time to accord to Futify please install it and give some love

Installation :

• Go to https://gitlab.com/frenchutouch/futify
• Search for the latest succefull pipeline, take your job arch and download click file in artifacts (arm64 will be my primary target as soon as my pinephone arrive)
• Direct link to last armhf
• Direct link to last arm64
• Install it with ut-tweak
• And launch it to enjoy

Please, open issues directly in repo (more easy to triage). If en issue or a feature is already added please add a on it like that I can more easily prioritize what should be done in first.

Please 2, open it with dark theme set with UT-Tweak (I love it like that... but some users prefer default theme and an issue already exist).

Some screenshots

Enjoy it!

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!

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

@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!

@ernest I have finally sucessfully compiled an arm64 build \o/ Can you give it a try please? https://gitlab.com/frenchutouch/futify/-/jobs/573883662/artifacts/file/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/futify.frenchutouch_1.0.0_arm64.click If you can confirm it work I will do a PR to be able to build golang apps to arm64 ubtouch ^^

After a quick search changing url should be very easy: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aubports+"start.ubuntu.com"&type=Code and https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aubports+"ntp.ubuntu.com"&type=Code

I agree with @Keneda canonical can't be compared to google or apple
But I agree with @herr-b no need to continue to call these url if something else more appropriate exist.

@herr-b Can you open an issue with better alternative in https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues ? The community will really appreciate your iniciative because we are all here to make ut better

@Fla

A message in the front-end saying that the authentication failed would be useful

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

@Fla Oups sorry missing your ping. Can you retest the app? Because I have same log on my Nexus5 and on my PInePhone but the app is working...

@connochaetes you need to download this click package

For all of you waiting for a new version, I am investigating a new approach... If it's not successful I will encrypt data or full stream data to be sure no one can take song out of Futify.

@kugiigi Hahaha I need to share your post to spotify, if they get users with futify maybe they will accept I do an offline mode

Before store in need to:

• Do a really true home (now the first page display nothing )
• Manage media-hud correctly (for now the image is not displayed)
• Add account/setting and/or about pages
• of course debug...

After that the app will go to the store. It's the plan but it's change every day

During this time trying it with ut-tweak is really simple. Just download click package and install it!

@Fla Hi thanks for your interest! I use librspot it's not officially supported by spotify but community is strong and lot of client has been done with that (I love the raspberry device manageable by official spotify apps)!

Technically all songs are stored locally to be streamed to player... So all songs can be stored to be played offline! I will work on that asap

@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

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

@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!

@AppLee
Ubuntu 20.04 / firefox 81
But the same with UT stable / morph
Maybe related to a parameter on my account!?

@AppLee Yes before this update it was worked like that but now I don't find this option:

Starting from previous update, and not fixed with update, i can not select thread to mark as read in unread section anymore. When i click on avatar i am redirect to this user.
If it's a feature (and not a bug ) how can i select multiple messages to mark them as read?

@kugiigi No only edge channel
