Tempus v4.6.0 android subsonic client

Submitted ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨eddyizm@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

Tempus is an open-source and lightweight music client for Subsonic, designed and built natively for Android.

This app works with any service that implements the Subsonic API, including:

LMS - Lightweight Music Server - personal fave and my backend
Navidrome
Gonic
Ampache
NextCloud Music
Airsonic Advanced

My last release post was for v4.2.4 so I’ve included whats changed since that post.

Highlighting these 4 really lovely features that people have wanted for some time and were well received. Added screenshots for each below

What’s Changed

feat: added regular playlist to home view

Image

feat: add heart to artist/album pages, fixed artist cover art failing

Image

feat: playerqueue fab allowing actions on full play queue Download

Image

feat: add play functionality to library folder/index items

Image

fix: player queue soft-lock
feat: Add Catalan language
performance: Refactor MediaService
chore: Update Spanish translation
chore: Update Italian translation
chore: Add clickable Obtainium badge to README
fix: refactor start queue to put the db writing in the background all , save to playlist, shuffle, clean and if enabled, load queue.
chore: Update Polish translation
fix: updates to starred syncing to user defined directory which was saving the tracks to internal storage and not a shared location
fix: handle empty albums and null mappings
feat: integrate sort recent searches chronologically
chore: Update description_empty_title in English, Italian, Polish French and Spanish
fix: checks preference and writes files externally, updates the ui for playerqueue downloads

note app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

Big thanks to all the folks who have been contributing. We have a new icon designed but I could use some help if anyone wants to do a PR to implement it.

Thanks! Just started using this recently (been having problems with Substreamer), and so far, so good :)

  Glad to hear! It seems like it has (and many other apps) have not had many updates recently.

I love it but for some reason on grapheneos it doesnt work with android auto

  the github version has android auto/chromecast support. I don’t think it works with grapheneos - people use the degoogled version for that os and it doesn’t generally support the google libraries.

    I don’t know much about android google libraries but I have Android Auto enabled and some apps works (maps, whatsapp) but tempus doesn’t (using github). I have to try with another sonic music player that allows it.

I self host Navidrome, and after deploying one or two companion apps for Navidrome, I’m right now digging Substreamer. I have never heard of Tempus, so I have added it to the ‘apps to try’ list. One of the features of Substreamer that I really enjoy is the Playlist Builder. Substreamer apparently goes through your collection and pre-creates playlists based on commonalities like genre, tags, etc. Let’s say that you click on the Blues playlist. It then has the Blues master playlist broken down into All Time, Recent, 2010+, etc. After you listen to/edit the playlist, you can save it to Navidrome. I find this feature to be quite handy and it just works very well for me. Not only can I physically make playlists in Navidrome, but in Substreamer automatically as well.

Saying all of that to say, does Tempus have any such feature? Like I said, I’ve never heard of Tempus, which really doesn’t mean much, but it looks very well put together. I’m sure OP didn’t set out to make Tempus a Substreamer copycat, I just find that one feature of Substreamer very handy.

  You can create and edit playlists on Tempus (currently working on overhauling this aspect of the app) however it does not have that playlist builder style thing. It can take your created playqueue and save it to a playlist. I’ve used substreamer in the past but it does not seem , at least on android, to have been updated in over 2 years now.

This player is so close to replacing dsub/dsub2000 for me. But I really miss the background song cache in dsub. Tempus makes it more of an explicit action to download.

  It’s something I’d like to add as part of the offline milestone, there’s a lot of stuff needing attention, currently working on some playlist stuff atm.

Been using this for the past month since I found out Tempo development died.

Works great on my phone.

The Android Auto UI needs work though.

  no worries mate. I was going to mention the same thing about the android status. It is one of my milestones but as you have seen, the app needs work and I am slowly learning the code base as I go through sections at a time.
  
  Just started working through the playlist milestone with this release, will spend some time here and Android Auto has a milestone where I am grouping all the tickets. I will get to it in the near future for sure. Proper Offline milestone might come before it though.
