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.

Update, v1.0.7
Jan. 11, 2025.

@Joejsanz

• The file name of the song is being received and not the title, (this is now fixed).
• New metadata has been added:
  • tracks, years, genres, composers, sizes, displayNames.

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.

OnMusicFilesRetrieved

It's activated when all music files have been retrieved from the device and provides lists of:

• paths, titles, artists, albums, durations, tracks, years, genres, composers, sizes, displayNames and bitRates.
