smpc's Issues

There is a empty pulley menu.

Some bad design.

To reproduce: Settings -> Database -settings

Need fix an UI layout

Add "Play stream" option

Like some desktop clients (like gmpc, sonata) it would be interesting to be able to play an external audio stream. For example to listen to a webradio or a podcast.

Strange behavoir in removing items from playlist

• The confirmation (x) on the remorse timer does not work
• The "Remove song" option disappears after a cancellation of the removal

More server and database details

One thing I do like about Cantata is that I can get more Server information from the current connection:

• Protocol
• Uptime

And from the current database I miss:

• Total songs
• Total duration
• Last updated

If easy to retrieve the latter could be added to the database settings.
Server info could be a separate menu line in the settings.

FR: sepate string to translate separately.

main menu - configureable button

The main menu has two columns, so it would be nicer, if it had an even number of buttons.

What if we made a configurable 8th button?

Options could be:

• show saved playlists
• shuffle and play all tracks
• shuffle and play a specific saved playlist
• ...?

Allow controlling playback volume with volume keys?

I saw that your fork has the ability to easily change songs from the lock screen, but I'm still missing the ability to easily change playback volume. It would be cool if you could hook up the volume buttons to control playback volume while a song is playing.

This is a feature most other audio players (e.g. unplayer, daedalus, 'Media') seem to have, yet not SMPC/mpd.

Add more playback modes (consume, single, oneshot)

For now we got shuffle and repeat, but there are more modes:

https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/protocol.html#playback-options

• c++-part will be done by me
• in qml we need to redesign the playback controls. We need additional switches and place them nicely.
• we need icons
  • onehot: could be the char "1"
  • consume: cantata uses pacman, which I like
  • single??

Option to replace the current playlist from album- or artistview

Occasionally I want to replace my current playlist with another album, but play it later on.

At the moment the only options are:

• Play the album right away
• Add the album to the already existing playlist

So if I want to achieve this, I first have to go to the playlist and choose clear playlist, then return to the album and select "Add album".

That's why I want to add the option "Replace album(s)". As it will stop the current playback, it will be disabled when playing is active.

It's a very small changes and there is room in the pulley menu for it.

Albums with multiple identical tracknames are listed multiple times when showing artists albums

For example:
Artist X has an album Y with the song name "hello" twice on this album. When you click on the Artist from the artist list, you will see album Y twice. And more songs with the same name means more album duplicates.
In the main album list itself its okay and not multiplied..

Lanscape mode UI issues

SMPC loads albums wrongly: doubled tracks, wrong display

Since version 1.3.25, SMPC shows some strange behaviour when adding albums to the playlist: in some cases, one or more tracks of the album are added twice. Moreover, both tracks are displayed in a strange way in the playlist - for one, the file name is shown instead of the title, for the other, the title is shown, but no album/artist information (see screenshot, position 5/6 in the list - the album had just been added to an empty playlist).

If I check the playlist with another client (I typically use gmpc on a Linux machine), I can see that the track in question has indeed been added twice, but no other side effects. Also, if I add the same album using gmpc on the same server, it just gets added normally, and shows up normally in SMPC, too.

In addition, when "extra tracks" are present in the playlist, SMPC gets confused with the track count - the "extra" tracks are apparently not counted correctly, which leads to SMPC showing the wrong track as current track (see screenshot - position 83 is shown as current track, but position 86 is actually playing, i.e. there are several "extra" tracks further up in the list).

I have also seen that tracks are already displayed wrongly when simply going to Artists -> album (i.e. without actually adding the album):

I have not yet been able to establish an actual pattern related to the albums/files themselves, but the behaviour seems consistent, i.e. if an album is affected, it is always affected.

Additional information:

• Behaviour observed in 1.3.25, 1.3.26 and 1.3.27. 1.3.24 seems to work normally (I've actually tried all of them yesterday)
• Phone: Xperia X with SailfishOS 4.1.0.24
• MPD: tried with mpd 0.23.4 on Arch Linux and mpd 0.21.4 on Raspbian (both are using the same underlying music files)

If you need any additional information, please let me know.

Radio Station Names

Hi

in playlists with Radio Stations the complete URL/filename is shown.
it's often unreadable.

In playlist generated by cantata the name is behind a '#' in the URL.
In m3u playlists mpd shows the correct name in the Name Tag.
If i write this information to MpdTrack->title it's shown correctly.

i would like to change this and create a pullrequest.

Translators credit in AboutPage.

I think it's time to put more strings on Aboutpage, in this case translators credit.
Sorry for putting you to code

Sailjail profile

Hi, if you could update a little the app by either disabling Sailjail or update a profile for it. Thanks.
