Player - Device Audio, Loop - Play Streaming

[Anke]

@David_76

For audio streaming, Pause is useless

No, why?

@David_76

we only need to start and stop the player

No, you may think you need it. In fact, there is hardly any major streaming app that uses a stop button and especially does not display one in the notifications.

But you could use the pause button to cancel/stop the stream and return to the application. From there, the stream can then be restarted (with the usual buffer time).

ㅤ Update, Jan. 04, 2025. - Version: 1.0.5 ㅤ

@Joejsanz

Note:
GetAllMusicFiles and OnMusicFilesRetrieved have changed...
You will need to locate the blocks in your project if you are using them so you don't lose their functionality.

Removed the GetAllAudioFiles function and the OnAudioFilesRetrieved event that got all audio file types from the device, since it is not needed because now the GetMusicFiles function does that.

Thank you for the update
It would be nice to have a helper block for the audio types

[Joejsanz]

Thanks Taifun.

I was between putting the help block or leaving it like this, I had doubts that it would be the best, but now that you mention it I think it is better to put the help block.

I'll do it tonight.

• New metadata has been added:

The OnMusicFilesRetrieved event will change...
Make sure to save what you have inside so you don't lose the blocks inside the event and can replace them.

I congratulate you on the work you are doing.. I noticed that when you close the application and delete the notification that is in play the music continues to play and you can not stop it.. in my opinion you should make it so that when the notification is in play it cannot be deleted..

[Joejsanz]

Thanks a lot Daniel

It is true, in Android 14 this happens, in Android 11 it does not.

What version of Android do you have?

I will review it so that it also works on Android 14.

[Daniel1]

Yes I have android 14

[Anke]

@Daniel1

I noticed that when you close the application

If you mean that you click a close application button or the Back button, then it should be no problem to stop the sound. However, if you mean that you remove the app via the task manager and thus close it, then you are right. In this case, the sound may continue to play for a few seconds (at least if you are streaming the audiotrack). So there seems to be something left in the cache.

[Daniel1]

Yes if you want to stop the sound with the back button you can do it safely. I just wanted to inform him that on android 14 the notification does not work properly.

[Joejsanz]

Update, v1.0.8
Jan. 19, 2025.

@Joejsanz

In Android prior to 13 the notification could not be dismissed, but that changed in Android 14, now the user can dismiss the notification, Google put it that way.

So I decided to make it so that when the notification is dismissed the music and the service stops.

---

Note:

• I had to remove the play and pause feature when clicking on the notification, as it interfered with stopping the music and service when swiping.

---

Adjust the MediaPlayer playback pitch.

• 1.0 is normal pitch, recommended: 0.5 to 2.0.

Update, v1.0.9
Jan. 23, 2025.

@Joejsanz

Audio focus was updated.

• The music kept playing even when there was another player active or you played this one and the other's audio didn't stop.
  • That's now fixed.

OnAudioFocusLost

Fired when audio focus is lost.

---

Update to floating notification:

Tested on Android 14 and 11.

• Added Album Art display.
• Established that if it's the last song in the playlist, when it's finished, the service stops and consequently the notification closes, since it didn't.
• Added display of the elapsed time of the song, when pausing it will only show Now, but when calling Resume it will continue moving forward from where it was paused.
  • This only appears on Android 14 and not on Android 11.

Android 11

Android 14

SetNotificationAlbumArt

Get the song's cover art to be displayed in the notification.

Feb 01, 2025.

@Joejsanz

AudioSessionId

Returns the audio session ID.

A small update, needed to be able to use this Player with an Equalizer I created separately.

• When playing audio, you are given a session ID, when you stop the audio, that ID is lost.
  Pausing does not lose the ID.

Is there an AIA example that I can learn from?

[Joejsanz]

@otniel

Is there an AIA example

I have the one I've been testing with, I'll just check it and share it with you here.

[Joejsanz]

@otniel

AIA example

Here is the aia project that I have been testing with, the blocks are not organized and there are probably some unnecessary blocks that are not being used, but here is the aia.
