Greetings,
I use Mediafly for podcasts and it has worked fine until I updated the app yesterday. Now downloads takes forever, the progress bar never shows up, some of my downloaded podcasts were corrupted and some don't show up when browsing (like the Audio version of Countdown with Keith Olbermann).
Has anybody else experienced similar issues after the most recent update?
On another note, is Mediafly the best podcast manager out?
Thanks

A new version has been ported and released on the Evo, with cloud sync working. Would love it on my Inc. running SR3.5
Do you have a link?
hey fellas,
i don't think the app is new. a user over in the Evo section noticed that after flashing the latest CM7 build and replacing the stock Music.apk with the Honeycomb music app already floating around his sych/cloud services started to work:

Here's a link to the Honeycomb Music apk:

I installed it and it worked for me and my music synced in the cloud!
wait, so its already working for our Inc's? Does it have lock screen controls? That was another thing missing from the first leaked version. Also does it improve the volume levels at all? I have to listen at full volume for some songs. Im dying for a new music player, stock one is so bland.
I am not sure about the lock screen controls but I was able to install the apk and it played all the music

Does the cloud sync work?
anyone know how to get ringtones, system sounds, (non music) to stop showing up in the music app? i would like to see only music
I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone quite yet, it has a lot of bugs I noticed after just a couple minutes:
1) No lock screen controls
2) Notification shows content://media/external/...blah blah instead of the song name
3) The pause/next feature present while browsing your library disappears once you hit next (it's possible this was intentional but I tend to believe it's always supposed to be there so you can keep skipping while browsing)
4) Pure music widget crashes when trying to launch app (may be related to #5, not sure).
5) Not sure why, but after I tapped the notification a few times, now I can't even use it. Every time I play a song, it skips to the next one and keeps skipping every second or two to the next song. A reboot did not resolve the issue. The album art displays "buffering" before it skips, so maybe it has something to do with cloud sync, which I didn't play around with, other than selecting my google account in the settings.

Pure music never worked with Gingerbread according to my experience.
One more problem/thing I overlooked: what about shuffle and repeat?
Thanx for the info Xidexl, thats all I needed to know. Guess ill stick with stock. Hopefully new SR will come with a new player.
Couldn't we just rip the final version off of the xoom then that would fix the issues we're having with bugs and I've also seen the one on the xoom and it seems to be a bit different

I am using a stock rooted US Moto G, and I have had podcasts (through both Pocket Casts and DoubleTwist) and MLB At Bat audio streaming stopping randomly.
Has anybody else had this issue? Any solutions?

I have the exact same problem. Podcasts stop playing suddenly.
This usually happens when using chrome, particularly when scrolling.
A few observations:
- The app doesn't crash - launching it again and pressing play starts the podcast at the exact same spot meaning the app safely shutdown.
- Closing all apps and tabs to free up memory usually helps but is no guarantee it won't stop again within a few minutes.
- Happens with several podcast apps I tried - all of which use about 60mb of RAM when playing
- Happens with downloaded and streamed podcasts. But stopping is more likely with streaming versions (I guess the stream is buffered to RAM meaning it's more likely to be killed)
- Every time the podcast stops I have been using a web browser (I've tried Chrome, Chrome beta, Firefox, Opera and UC browser)
My theory is that android is killing the process to free up some RAM but I'm not sure what can be done to prevent this.
A few things I have looked into are 'nice' and 'minfree'. I tried increasing the priority of my podcast app with nice but that didn't seem to help at all.
Changing the minfree settings did seem to have some affect, but it was still getting killed off eventually.
I don't know much about android to look into it any further ( this is my first android device), perhaps someone with more experience can advise.
I guess this is just one of the limitations of the MotoG and 1gb of RAM
same here had it with the beyondpod ,sound cloud apps

I think I figured out a solution to this problem, you need to be rooted though.
Install the 'app settings' xposed module, select your music/podcast app then enable the 'resident' option.
This makes sure the app remains in memory and stops android from killing the process.
Seems to be working for me for the past day now
I'm on ARHD 7.3 and with the latest facebook app version. When I try to play any uploaded video on the facebook app it plays for about 2-3 seconds and freezes for the rest of it while the audio is still going. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue and what could solve this...
I don't think it was like that before. I think it started since facebook changed their layout again.
Same problem. any fix?
I have the same problem. Also appears on YouTube videos.
Any fixes at the moment?
Any suggestions?
Tried to revert YouTube & Facebook to stock versions, didn't work.
Hello
Since the last update (1.7.38 the one where the notification area player changed) there are some issues I'm facing with long mp3 files. Not bugs but they are pretty annoying!
I listen to long mp3 files like recorded radio shows (2 hours) and audio books and here's what happens in this version that didn't happen before:
1) The notification area player disappears after a short time whereas in the previous version it didn't disappear unless i pressed the "x" button. So that way i cannot resume fast whenever I want to without having to open the app!
2) The mp3 starts at a previous point when the 1) happens and i have to resume it from the player itself (i have to open the app again) (e.g. I stopped it at 1:30:27 and when i resume from the app it starts at 1:00:00 and not where I paused it)
Please fix those issues. or just restore them to how they were
Otherwise the player rocks and it's op with subtitle sync and all those encoders! (imagine i couldn't even play some of the long mp3 files in other players!!)
Thanks and keep up the good work! cheers!
I think I was polite and described my problem. Why NO answer???
It will be now!
well done thank you!
Very strange issue, but everything is possible, try lastest beta version.
I will try to reproduce this on my phone and I will come to let you know.
problem continues!

Still after update on new version and reinstalling 2-3 times no fix at all ! can I find and use the version before 1.7.38 which worked well?

Looks like app crashed while playing mp3. Would you try other decoders (HW, HW+, SW)?
Typically HW decoder would not crash at least.
You can select default decoder based on file extension on Settings > List > File extension.
Hi all,
I updated my Honor 6 Plus PE-UL00 to EMUI 4.0.1 and Android 6.0 a while back. However, since the update I am no longer able to use any podcast app. Specifically my go to podcast app Podcast Addict. Previous to the update the app worked perfectly.
The problem is that any podcast will only play for a few minutes before stopping and will not continue playing or will restart playing from the beginning (for the first few minutes). I have tried downloading a podcast and playing it offline and this has also not worked. I have also tried going between versions of the Podcast addict app and trying a number of different apps and this has not been successful.
I emailed the creator of the app and have been told that the playback is handled by the phones build in player and there may be a bug there.
Any help appreciated!

Try adding it to the Protected apps in Phone manager because the app is being killed when the phone goes into standby mode.
