Hi all,
Kore is a new Kodi/XBMC remote for Android, which aims to be simple, easy to use and beautiful.
Kore allows you to control your Kodi/XBMC, see what's currently playing and the current playlist, change subtitles and audiostreams, download your media locally, access your media library, check info about each item (supports movies, TV shows, music and addons), and more.
Kore is free and open source. The in-app purchase lets you buy me a coffee, so i can continue to improve Kore.
Some links:
Google Play
APK
Source
Kore is new, and though I've tried my best to make sure it works, surely there are bugs lurking somewhere. Help me test it and report your experiences here or contact me.
Thanks

Thanks. Tried to follow Material design guidelines, though i took some liberties at some points. It also looks better on lollipop as there are some extra animations.
Looks promising. Long time a yatse user, but I'm giving this app a try. Beautiful and with all the features I normally use. Just a suggestion to make the send text option visible in the top bar with an icon, instead of hidden in the menu. Thanks
looks promising. Also a long time Yatse User, but will give this certainly a try!
Thanks for trying it. If you find any bugs, please report them.

Will consider it. I know that having only one command under the menu doesn't make much sense, and that it should be a separate icon, but in the future i suspect that there will be more commands under the menu, so that's why i chose to include it right from the start.
will give it a try:good:
Android Wear
I recommend adding Android Wear support, after realizing Yatse does, I bought it immediately! Good Luck!
Looking promising but still lots of bugs. For example the obvious bug is when you click on the remote button (which is on the upper screen) doesn't do anything except "connecting" and may crush after a while.
when the app search for my kodi it doesn't find it although with yatse it does.
Hope to see bug fixes and many more features in the future.
Sweet!
Much improved from the old Official XBMC Remote app.
Thanks!
I can see this giving Yatse a run if we could get streaming integrated. Very cool that you made it open source.
It is just the start in terms of functions and bugs, but it is beautiful! Long time paid Yatse user and if you continue this way I will have to re-think which app I am going to use.
It works great, good job Also much better looking than the old official XBMC one.
I've tried Yatse also, but I just needed an app which had remote control and not all the other stuff, like libraries and streaming etc. And this seems to fit quite well
Hopefully you keep it light-weight and simple.
KillerApp
Woah, dude, this is awesome. Very nice piece of software.
Finally my xmbc device is useful again
Just wondering would it be possible to bring Phone notifications with this remote? I use Kodi on Fire TV one thing I would love to see if notifications from my phone like texts etc.. would be awesome!
VERY NICE!! :good::good:
Suggestion :
Is it possible to add a "volume slider" just above, below or to the side of the remote buttons for a smoother and faster volume adjustment?
Great job!!

Looking good. Library loads quickly and scrolls smoothly.
The only bug I see is that some TV series do not show episodes under the season. Going to the episodes tab shows the seasons but clicking the season does nothing but toggle the little arrow. Forcing a refresh seems to allow you to see the episodes. Other series do not have this issue.
I am a long time Yatse user here and its nice to see another nicely designed XBMC/Kodi remote app.

Agree, though i need to get a moto 360 first, and i still haven't been able to justify that buy to myself.

Does it crash? Can you send the report to Google so that i can access the stack trace and check it.
Seems like it didn't connect to your kodi. Do you have a firewall and might it be preventing it from connecting. BTW, automatically finding kodi/xbmc is done through zeroconf, which can be tricky. Try hitting the "search again" button several times.

I'm not very keen on messing with notifications or, for instance, pausing videos when a call comes, because that requires some permissions which can be hard to justify (access notifications, access phone calls. On a remote app? why?). Yeah, i know, there are justifications and this is open-source and all, but i'm still not convinced (for now, i may change my mind).

Possibly the library syncing hadn't finished yet. After you add a media center, the syncing starts, and it can take a while. If you go to Movies/TV Shows/Music while it is syncing you'll get partial results, and seeing all the TV Shows, but not the episodes is a symptom of that. By the way, if you did a refresh while the other sync was running, you might get duplicate episodes... If thats the case just do another refresh.
Does it crash? Can you send the report to Google so that i can access the stack trace and check it.

now it didn't crush but still the connecting text. it only happens when genesis let me choose from a list, otherwise it works. How can i send you the report and get the report file?
about the automatic finding, i don't know what to tell you, everything in kodi settings is ok, i don't have firewall, yatse find my ip, but in kore i need to enter it manually.
really great on the nexus 6. i love the app, just a lot better than the official xbmc remote - maybe you should if kodi wants your app as official one
one little thing: there should be a possibility to abort the download of a movie to the smartphone, this will take a long time now

Hello,
I present you my first application for Android called Lazik/Lazik+!
It's a remote control for Winamp media player compatible with versions 1.6 to 2.2 of Android.
Here are a few screenshots to get an idea of rendering:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Two versions are available, Lazik which is free and supported by ads and Lazik + (1.69 €)
Lazik features:
.playback controls
.playlist
.media library
.search
.display album covers
Lazik+ features:
.no ads
.conection over 3g,edge,...
.fetches missing album covers
.more to come
Possible actions from the madia library have been thought to be as practicable as possible:
- Enqueue at the end of the playlist
- Enqueue just after the current song
- Enqueue just after the current song and play immediately
- Play immediately at the current position in the playlist or at the end of it
To operate Lazik you must install a plugin for Winamp, More information and a tutorial are available at: http://www.bypops.com.
Feel free to comment and report any bugs you might encounter

Sweet! This is the best program to control winamp I've come across. It's 99% perfect! (apart from a few grammatical errors )
Works brilliantly on my rooted Desire!

Thanks for the comment
About grammatical errors, feel free to send me corrections on the support email address if you are motivated enough. I'm french so my English is not perfect ...
Will do so. In the mean time, the only gripe I have with it is that you can't use the scroll bar to advance a track. In fact, it doesn't move at all. Is that a Lazik+ feature only? Also, sometimes it takes a while for the controls to show when you press the album art.
Well, the only things wrong with the text I've found were in the server management: "Search for servers" would sound nicer. As well as Searching for servers when the app is looking for them.
Keep working on the app, it's awesome, but I have a few suggestions if you don't mind, hehe...
Would be nice if the search would use the standard Android search functionality, as it is, it's kinda odd.
Also the colours are quite ghastly. The design isn't bad, but the colour choice is quite off, if you ask me.
But these are just my suggestions, still your app.

The seeking scrollbar should be working, even in the free version. Maybe it's too small for you to be able to drag it. It's size will be changed as some people asked for that.
For the grammatical problems, I'll update it, maybe with your suggestion, or maybe by changing the way it's told.
Concerning the search suggestion, I will consider it but I can't say if I will change it or not. It will depend on how it have to be implemented and if it would prevent some current functionnalities ... The colors have been choosed to integrate in the android UI, because they are colors used in Android. They won't change for the moment as I have some more importants things to implement, but I will try so change them to see what result I can have when I'll have some time to. Maybe it could be a theme option in a future version (but certainly only for Lazik+ users).
By the way I have seen some posts of you on other forums about my App, so I want to thank you for that, since I don't know all good english forums for Android ...
Yeah, no problem, great apps should be shared. As for the design, I REALLY REALLY like the way DoubleTwist is done, it's a real treat to look at.
First of, great great work!
Works really well!
Side note: People please note that you need to have proper firewall settings.
Some things I noticed.
The app found my winamp server, I then flipped open my keyboard to type in my server name (This was on a HTC DREAM: G1) , yet the little window disappeared and went behind the add and search server window.
When installing the plugin, the installer automatically kills winamp. Dunno if its stated somewhere, it didn't bother me though!
Anyways, thanks again! Real nice app!
Works great with my 2.2 Desire!
But... When I start the App, WiFi is enabling itself. I would like to control my Winamp trough my 3G connection.
I'm using a VPN, so the local ip-address is no problem. Also with a portmap in my router it should be possible to use it externally. All you have to do is turn off the automatic WiFi enabler and add support for connections over 3g?
Keep it on!
I love the app, simple and works a treat
here' s a couple of suggestions:
+1 on scrollbar size, it's a bit tricky to use it
would it be possible to add bookmarks support? I have all my radio links there...
I' ll play with it a little bit more an post more
I've been looking for something like this to control music playback on my PC from bed, thanks!

I don't really agree..
Double twist's gradients look bad and it all looks a bit 'cheap'.
There is too much wasted space and no instant easy access button to get back to library or playlist. Stock HTC music app is much more practical and usable, and looks cleaner and more profession.
Judging by the screenshots the design of this app looks great
Well, to each their own. A sort of theme would be nice, yes. Standard for you, a bit different for me.

I already thinked about this possibility, but judged it would be too hard to use for a simple user without computer skills. Anyway, your post shows me some people would like to use Lazik over 3g. I didn't gave it a try but it should work. Maybe it won't be in the next release but I'll add an option to disable automatic wifi in the future, so that "experimented" users would be able to test it over 3g. The way I thinked it would be not to hard was by using a service like no-ip.com, so that you could use an alias, and not your internet ip. By the way, router configuration will be necessary, but you seem to already know that Send me an email on lazik support so I'll be able to contact you when a version with this option will be available

Thanks for the comment
The fact that the installer kills Winamp is normal, because Winamp needs to restart in order to see the new plugin.
Concerning the problem you mentionned while entering the server name, I wasn't aware of it since I never had the possibility to try Lazik on a G1 or any device with physical keyboard. I'll try to find why this occurs ... For the moment I advice users to use the virtual keyboard here.

Concerning the bookmarks, I never used them in Winamp but it could be a good thing to add them to Lazik. I can't promise it will be added quickly but it will be added to my todo list for a future version
THIS APP IS AMAZING! It works so unbelievably quick and well its really astonishing. Not quite perfect, but oh so close. (Winamp is also still the best music player in my opinion)
Bugs:
- The seek bar doesn't "seek"/There is no way to seek through a song
- There is no way to remove songs from playlist
Suggestions:
- Make seek and volume bars larger in the 'play screen'
- when you tap on a song on the playlist (or on the play button to the right of the song), a "back, play/pause, next" should hover up at the bottom or top of the playlist to give you more control within the playlist. Also, a seek bar should hover over the playing song. (I realize this would kinda take the place of the playback screen...)
- Alternate suggestion to previous one: Add a 'tap to play' queue to the playback screen.
- long press song in playlist to remove or move. Something similar to the home screen icons where a trash can pops up would be consistent and nice.
Suggestions that I'm not sure are possible:
- In the media library, when you navigate to a song, you should be able to tap it (not on the "+") to play the song, but NOT add it to your playlist. (should have similar hovering controls as in the playlist but of course no next/back cuz its not a playlist, its your media library)
- A way to save the playlist to the phone or to the computer
- A way to transfer song to phone or download all playlist songs to phone
- A way to stream music to the phone exclusively or at the same time as the computer
- Be able to 'screen' a song on your playlist from your phone WITHOUT having it play back on the computer (this builds upon the previous suggestion)
- Have the streaming music to the phone perfectly in sync with computer (Mac's Airport does this as well as a PC application called "Airfoil")
The last two suggestions would be absolutely invaluable to this app as it would CLEARLY distinguish the app from anything of the like. They would also be an incredible asset in a light DJish environment. Not to mention the phone would basically turn into a wireless speaker access point which I would gladly pay cash monies for if it worked as excellently as the app currently does.
Ridiculous Suggestions:
- Since you're already installing a plugin, add a simple VPN client built into the application so that you can access your music from your computer and play the music over the phone. (this builds upon the previous suggestions)
- Link multiple computers on the network using Winamp and send songs to be played on different computers (I don't even know what I would do with that function)
- A way to play songs from the phone, on the computer in the same synced/exclusive manner
- Ummm, don't hit me, but, video playback support?
Many of these suggestions require the app to have a full music player within the app which just might be FAR outside the scope of a "controller app". I personally don't like DoubleTwist at all, but I could see the majority of these suggestions (if possible) being rolled into the DoubleTwist app.
Ultimately I believe the implementation of the majority of my suggestions are limited by the audience. Unless this app becomes like a renowned/feature app on Android, I couldn't see anyone expending that much energy developing it...
Excellent app! AMAZING job! Thank you VERY much! Keep up the exemplary work!
Just bought your app. Works very well, but I've got one bug to tell you:
When I create a playlist in Winamp and select a track via your app, it doesn't show the cover on my device (HTC Desire with 2.2). In Winamp the cover is shown properly. I tried it with several mp3s, so I don't think it is a problem of a specific mp3.
I just tried to find the problem and I think it is a problem concerning the media database. All mp3s included in the main- and subdirectories are display with cover. But sometimes you wanna listen to the mp3 before archiving them. They are stored temporarily on my Desktop, but not on my media drive.
Would be very nice if you are able to include cover support for this setting (mp3 which are not in the database) as well.
Another 'bug': When Playing a track of your playlist and removing it while playing in Winamp, the main view of your app switches to the next song, but Winamp continues to play the song you just removed (which is a feature). Would be better if the plugin updates the current song after the song has finished to play.
Just found another small bug: When you search in your media library the searchbar at the bottom covers the last entry of your search results.
added on 28.08.: isn't it possible zu merge all tracks of one album together? Now all tracks of each album are show seperatly, even when i search for an album explicitly.
Nice work Mr.
I have a suggestion that might be doable.. Can you hook into the fact that a phone call is coming in and have it pause the music during the phone call? Might also be nice to have it as an option.. also to have it so u have to manually press play again so u don't get blasted as soon as you hang up the phone.
Really excited about this app. A lot of positive reactions. And indeed there hasn't been a proper winamp remote app on the market. But finally here it is!
But i have the following problem on a Windows XP sp3 installation at work:
I can't find the server and cannot connect to the IP adress the server should be running. Also, I'm not sure the server is installing like it should. Because I can't find the plugin in Winamp's plugins list. (Anyone know what it is called?)
Furthermore i'd like to add that Winamp had an iTunes plugin installed, but it did not have iTunes installed. So it would promt that it needed iTunes installed in order to use that plugin. Maybe this could mess things up? I'm just guessing.
The Windows firewall is turned off, but I do have Norton AV 2008 running. I couldn't find any settings for port managing so i thought Norton leaves this alone.
I tried turning the Windows firewall on and make an exception on port 5976, but no luck.
I'll try it in a few minutes at home on a Windows 7 64 bit box. (Without the iTunes plugin.)
But does anyone have some suggestions on how to get it to work at the bar I work in.
Regards,
DaanJordaan

Hey all. This is a little game I've done for Android, hope you enjoy it
With Musikr, take the classic "Music Quiz" to another level!
You'll have to test your knoledge about music. It will randomly pick a song out of your local music repertoire, play it, and put it on a list along with 4 songs selected randomly as well.
Since version 2.0, it (in theory -> in AVD's seem to be fine ) supports all kinds of screens. You will need to have at least 5 songs in your local library. Also, it has support for two languajes: English and Spanish
Musikr has 3 game modes:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Free Mode
This is the simplest mode of the whole game. We'll only have a hits, failure and score counters. If you hit, you'll win one point. And if you fail, you'll lose one. As easy as that!
Arcade Mode
The arcade mode is similar to the free mode. It just adds a stopwatch to see how long it takes for you to select an answer. This mode has 5 diferent levels:
Super Easy
Easy
Medium
Difficult
Impossible
Each one has a diferent time limit. If you guess correctly inside the limit, you'll win a point. If you guess but it takes you too long to answer, nothing will happen. But if you fail, no matter how long it takes you, you'll lose one point.
Challenge Mode
This is the most "complicated" game mode. In this mode will add lifes (5 at start), and a new value called "Next", which indicates how many songs you have to guess correctly so to win a life. It's initial value is 10, and it will decrease each time you make a hit (regardless time). But it will go back to 10 if you miss one. Just as Arcade Mode, this one has 5 levels too.
Level - Time limit table:
Level - Time Limit (Seconds)
Super Easy - 15
Easy - 10
Medium - 7
Difficult - 5
Impossible - 3
Options
In the selection (mode or level) menu, you are able to enter preferences. In which you'll see the following options:
File Selection Options: This will help us if we have some sounds in our memories, which we don't won't to be on the list.
Folder to skip: If selected, it will include all songs in the memory EXCEPT the ones inside the folder specified.
Folder to include: If selected, it will ONLY INCLUDE songs inside the specified folder.
Note 1: If you select both options at the same time, they will cancel themselves and you'll have the same result as if you had selected anything.
Note 2: So that you don't have to type the whole path to the folder, you only have to type a string and Musikr will compare it with the path to any file. And if any part of any songs path matches with the string, it will just pass over it, or add it to the list.
For example, if you have a song called "/sdcard/Metallica - Nothing Else Matters.mp3" and a folder called "/sdcard/Meta", and your string is "Meta", it will skip/include both, the folder and the song.
Splash Options:
Show (or not) initial Splash: Will let you select whether you want or not to see an initial Splash.
Change default splash for Musikr's one: By default in this version, you'll see a "Scenery Beta 2011" splash (a little homebrew competition Musikr is in). If you check this option, you'll see Musikr's original splash (which will be seen in future versions by default).
Information:
Version information, this doesn't need explanation at all xD.
I'm completely open to ideas, critics, feedback, etc. Any question, suggestion or comment you may have please post, don't be shy!
thanks! this is just the game i was looking going to test it on my SG3 and asus Transformer (tablet)
too bad that all of my songs are on my Transformer but i think i will move couple of hundred to my phone so i can test this great work
Nice game idea!
I've test on my HP TouchPad, it works on tablet
Some adjustments will be needed as you can see in the screenshot below (the clicks on the song titles are correctly accepted), but it's kinda playable
I've encountered one bug (?) while trying to do the screenshot : I've clicked on home and was sent to home, but the music didn't stop. Nothing visible in the task manager, and a restart of a new game didn't stop the song.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
BTW, your app made it to the portal today!
I'm using Google Music so all my music is located in "sdcard/android/data/com.Google.android.music/cache/music"
How do I get it to find these files?

Yes, it works. But as I haven't defined a layout for screens bigger than HDPI, it shows everything out of place. In next version I'll add support

This game uses Android media database to collect songs. But I'll see what I can do for next version.
It says application not installed.
If changes somethings, Xperia X10 Mini Pro, unoficial CM7, Droid 2.3.7.
Any chances of upload to Android Market?

I don't know how to use adb, I am so noob '-' Sorry.
When it get to the Market, I install it, just let me know it. I still don't have ideia why it don't installed...
I am looking forward to see it in Market, if the app works the way I think it will work, be sure to give it 5 stars.
Sorry for english, btw
great game
great game, the only problem i think it may have is that the buttons were to small and so hard to press on my samsung galaxy 3, aka galaxy apolllo, ig5800, so i kept pressing the right answer and getting te failed! response
love the app tho

I designed it in my own G3 and I think that they're ok. But I'll make the buttons a little bigger. Thanks for feedback

I'll see what I can do about your problem
Love the game, great concept. Only bug I have found is on all game types [classic, arcade, and challenge] when questions come up, music doesn't always play. Since I don't know what song it is, hit a random button and it goes to next question. So, sometimes the music for a question plays and sometimes it doesn't.
Great job though, it is a great start!
And below are the phones I am running it on.

I also had this problem, but i think here the problem is that the app starts the music from the very start and theres a small silence or too little volume before the actual song starts and the machine starts playing the song... so the problem is our music ) it would be nice to have the app start the music from the seconds 20 onward though
awesome game man. you should add some highscore lists or something like achievements
First of all: great game, I really like the idea!
I am not sure but I think in Challenge Mode you will also get points if you exceed the time limit. As I understood it it shall be +1 if you guessed in time, 0 if you guessed but out of time and -1 if you failed....
Thanks again, I am playing meanwhile for 2 hours on my A501 (it works with the stretch option of honeycomb 3.2).

Hello! Please just add proper support for higher-than-WVGA screens (I read it's in progress), I just love your game core, seriously. Thanks for the app!

It has some kind of highscore system for each game mode. But I plan to enhance it and make it more 'graphical' and user friendly.

I've encountered one bug (?) while trying to do the screenshot : I've clicked on home and was sent to home, but the music didn't stop. Nothing visible in the task manager, and a restart of a new game didn't stop the song.

Today I had some spare time, and did some clean up. Solved the bug you mention, the one angelus mentions, and also improved the way the game handles music playback
Next thing to do: see if I can make the song start from a random point; add support for tablet screens
With the unfortunate demise of "Droid Tropes", the (previously) only "TvTropes" app, I was feeling in need. I also wanted to learn how to write Android apps.
So I created "Android Troper" (originally named "This Troper" and re-named due to community objections):

This is my first app so don't expect anything brilliant. It's currently 'working' at best, and I'm still learning.
That being said, I would love to hear comments, ideas and bug reports, all at our Google+ page!

I'll give this a try and report in.
Edit: okay, quick first impressions and issues.
It looks pretty basic, graphically speaking. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.
You might want to add a default search bar to the first page. Took me a second to realize I had to hit menu to do anything.
I force closed (twice at once, oddly) when I tapped on the hidden text to try to make it appear.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I am planning an introduction page instead of the current loading of the home page.
When you hit hidden text - which page was it in?
Thankyou for making this app! I've been wanting to be able to read TvTropes on my phone for a while and I missed out on DroidTropes.
Works well on my Galaxy S II, I'm able to reveal spoilers without a FC and it works pretty smooth. May I suggest in future version to possibly add a quick scroll (where you can hold the scroll bar and scroll much faster) so you can jump around pages quicker? It's not necessary but it would be a nice addition.
This app is off to a great start, I look forward to future releases.

Honestly I've been trying to enable quickscroll from day 1 but I can't seem to get it to work. It gets really annoying on long pages (and most of them are :-/)
Thanks for the feedback! Please let me know if it errors/fc's!
Excellent work.
I like it!
Smaller text size support would be nice.
Hey everyone and thanks for trying my app
I just posted a small update which enables 'Actionbar' (thanks to ActionBarSherlock) and makes the app 100% ICS compatible (including phones with no dedicated 'menu' button). Also easier to read the title and/or access functions.
Hope you like it, looking forward for some feedback!
Also, my next planned feature is a welcome screen, to those who asked.
Cheers
0.2α: Download Here
Added 'Actionbar' - now fully ICS compatible (cross platform as well thanks to Action Bar Sherlock)
Removed the application name from the header (to save space, don't need it now with the Actionbar)
Great to see it being updated quickly. Two things however. It seems asterisks which reveal additional information are click able but don't actually show the information. Also there doesn't seem to be any way to access the subpages of whatever article you are on (YMMW, Fridge etc). Perhaps you could put a button in the action bar which would produce a drop down list for the sub pages available for the current page?
Keep up the good work

Thanks for the info.
Regarding the asterisks, I completely forgot that was a thing. I'll add it in the next version (Can you give me a link to a page that has it so I don't get lost in the site? )
As for the subpages, I was considering it, but it slipped my mind. I'll add it to the list
Thanks for helping!
I'm too addicted to tabbed browsing to actually use it (like to open few links in background while reading an article), but I tested it for a while and didn't found any problems. I think that there are people that will find it useful - good job .
I believe there is an asterisk at the top of the Futurama page. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/Futurama?from=Main.Futurama (right underneath the picture.)
Glad to be of assistance. I agree tabbed browsing would be nice but I imagine its not high on your to do list.
Tabbed browsing is an obvious feature to want in a TvTropes app (as the attached comic demonstrates) but it's way over my capabilities (also will probably destroy your RAM and battery ). Instead, I'm going to create a 'read later' list like there was in the 'Droid Tropes' app - I found it rather useful.
Tip: If you want to know what a link leads to (names of links in TVTropes can be confusing) long-press it, the popup's title will be the link's target.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Opera Mobile just doesn't cut it for tvtropes.
Could use some more features to bring it up to speed with the old DroidTropes app. However, this is still a beta and you're still learning. In light of that... 5/5, man.
I will definitely be spreading word of this. Thank you again.

Thanks for info - that was one of the things that I missed too, good to know that it is implemented, but I just didn't know how to use it .
I don't think that tabbed browsing would destroy battery. Still, RAM consumption could be rather high, but only if you would load page just after clicking and opening in background. As alternative, you can add it to tab list, but don't actually load it unless it's activated. Apart from that, you can also unload pages opened in background but inactive for long time (when amount used up ram is too high). To save bandwidth, unloaded pages can be saved in temporary files instead of just being removed from memory. Of course, these are just hints that may be useful if you'll want to implement it one day. "To read" list may work just as well as tabbed browsing.

First in queue are the sub-pages and the asterisks (already done the asterisks code, hope I'll finish the sub-pages thing by the weekend).

Can you remember which page and/or text caused it to FC?
Thanks!
Just finished writing the next version. Need to stress-test it a little before I let it out to the world, but the main new feature (other than Asterisks support) is that on pages with sub-pages (name-spaces) a submenu will appear in the menu with links to all sub-pages.
Tomorrow morning (it's 2:24 AM ) I'll give it one last test, a good cleanup, and let you guys have at it.
If everything's as planned, for the next version after that I'll have a new welcome screen, and hopefully - though I'm promising nothing yet - 'read later'.
See ya guys tomorrow!
Update: Version 0.2β is up.
Changelog:
Added hidden 'additional information' support (asterisks) - thanks to Blackadder18
Added support for 'Sub-Pages' (in the menu, where available) - thanks to Blackadder18
Bugs squashed:
No longer cancels loading on touch
Slight improvement to error-handling
Some minor behind-the-scenes code adjustments.
New Known Issues:
Some 'sub-pages' may not parse correctly and throw an error. Please report those in this thread and/or the 'Issues' tab in the Google-code website.

I just want to introduce you to my Podcast app available on the Google Play.
This is my 1st Android app and it's still incomplete but almost all of the basic features have been implemented.
If you watch or listen to French podcasts, you will find some of the best independant podcats embedded by default in the app.
If you do not, don't run away yet, because you can still use this app to manage all your podcasts.
Here are the main features:
• podcasts subscription
• podcasts search engine (thousands of podcasts available in different languages)
• OPML import file (iTunes, Google Reader, ...)
• new episodes notification
• automatic download
• streaming
• audio player with resume feature
• playlist support
• OPML export
• widget
• comments download feature
• episode & podcast sharing
• episode filters & search engine
• automatic episode deletion feature
• ...
Upcoming features:
• New UI optimized for tablets
• Podcast recommendation feature
• Download manager
• Internal video player
So feel free to test the app, and please, tell me what you think about it.
I know, some important features are missing, but they will soon be available
Headset controls now work on ICS and JB (since v1.8.8)
What do you do when you listen to your podcast? What do you want to do most of the times when you are going back to the app?
Every. Single. Podcast. Player. Does the same ****ing thing wrong.
Go figure it out.

Yip, bump that. Constructive helpful feedback will assist the dev to make this a better app, me thinks? Instead of cryptic comments...
Just released Podcast Addict v1.9.
Main new feature is the Playlist support.
A little bit more Holo design would be much more better. The glossy style of the bar on the top is not android like.
Also please disable the emulated menu button. The menu button must be in the Actionbar.

Now that I'm almost having every basic feature implemented I will rethink the whole UI for the v2.0
Fantastic Podcast app! I hadn't looked for a good podcast app in a while, and I first went through and read a few sites that listed the "top 10 android podcast apps". I downloaded the top 4-5 and played with them. Eventually I realized they each have something that annoyed me too much. Usually, they were either too simple in attempts to have a clean/simple UI, or they were so complicated that it made navigation not enjoyable. I tried one out that had 4 tabbed screens of settings...
Eventually I found this one. This is the only one that I kept. I love the simple and straight forward UI and fantastic feature set. Perfect balance and no bloat. All the core features are there. The settings are simple and just make sense. The app is mostly intuitive in terms of flow - I would add a button for the subscription (using a Nexus S and having to go to options to view it was not intuitive at first). Another change, as some people have mentioned on the play store, is putting a back button -- although personally, I didn't even notice until I read the reviewsI only noticed it because a bunch of people complained about it. If you can, on the widget, please add the current time position and the max (end) time position. At last, ask people about the primary language and after that use only that language (ex of this: if you select English, when you search, there's still french under the titles)
Good luck with this app - you have created something fantastic! If you make a donation version count me in!!

Thanks a lot for your comment!
I don't understand what the problem is with the back button. You can use Android back button to go back to the previous screen. You can also press the App icon in the ActionBar to go back to the main screen. If you understand what te problem is, please tell me.
I didn't add any progress bar on the widget to avoid draining the battery, I might add a 2nd widget with a progress bar, in a future release.
As for the french in the search engine, I didn't take the time to clean the podcasts translations in the database, but I will improve the search feature in the upcoming v2.0.

I think I understand it now. So the complaint (from what I am gathering from the comments) is that people don't know that hitting that icon takes you home. But that actually makes perfect sense. Some people call that "going back" by the way. Maybe replacing it with a button that says "home" would do it. Or having an "info" screen when you first install the app that tells you it's a "home" button for the app. I don't know -- honestly, this just doesn't seem annoying
That's interesting about the progress on the widget. I didn't realize they burn the battery so much.

I'm already thinking about adding some kind of tutorial or tips section in the app.
Widget refresh will not drain your battery, but because it will need to refresh the progress status every second, it will still add some CPU charge
Take a look, if you haven't already, at the Spotify app. You have the same clean design, and it's very similar (same player on the bottom that expands when selected). I think the only thing missing is making that top-left corner into something like what Spotify has done, which will present all the screen options (home, search, playlist, all, etc...)
Anyway, either way, good luck with this app. I really like it!
PlayList Sort
Is there a way to sort the playlist? Here is my scenario:
I have a segmented podcast that is downloaded daily... there are 15+ segments that come per day... Ideally, I would want it to automatically download the latest podcasts and automatically add it to the playlist... I would need it to play the next day's podcasts but in the proper order... basically, day 1, segment 1, then segment 2, 3, etc until day 2, segment 1, 2, 3, etc... currently, it has the days correct but the segments are reversed...
Thanks for your help... I really like your app and would love to continue using it...

For now you can only reorder your playlist by drag and dropping your episodes. You can enable autodownload & auto queueing. Your episodes will then be added in the right order, but you might have other podcasts' episodes in the middle. In that case you will need to reorder manually your playlist.
Subscription issue
First off, I really like your app -- it is by far my favorite of all the podcast apps I tried. I love the feature set, but I agree with previous comments that the UI could still use some work. I feel like it could be simplified -- currently there are a lot of different screens you can be on, and no easy way to switch between them or even to tell how the screen you're on relates to the other parts of the app. I'm using on a tablet, so a multi-pane view would be ideal for me (though obviously not for phone users).
OK, here's my issue: I'm trying to subscribe to two feeds from the same content producer. But every time I add the second feed, it replaces the first one -- and vice versa. The feeds are from the Skeptics' Guide To The Universe podcast -- they do their main show in one feed, and occasional mini-episodes in another feed. I would link to the xml files, but the forum won't let me. They're easy to find on the Skeptics' Guide website.
Is there some trick I can try to get both feeds to show up? Currently my subscriptions view shows one listing for "The Skeptics Guide", regardless of which feed I've just tried to add, and the episodes available correspond to the most recent feed added. I've also tried adding them both at the same time from the search page, but that didn't work either.
Thanks for any ideas or bug fixes you can provide, and for your continued work on the app! It's great!

Hi,
Sorry for the late answer I didn't saw the notification.
I'm working on a new UI for the v2.0.
Regarding your feed problem, for now there's a restriction when 2 feeds share the same Podcast name...
I'll try to remove this restriction ASAP
Great App - 2 questions
This podcast app is really well done. I'm used to the UI, it didn't take much, and I love the different choices available in the settings. I have two questions:
Headset control
I'm having an issue with my motorolla stereo bluetooth headset, where after a few times pressing pause to pause and resume, the internal player eventually does not accept commands from my bluetooth to pause. Pressing the buttons no longer works. Any suggestions? I do have the Headset Controls option checked.
Removal of 'marked read'
Although I've marked many of my podcasts as read (I have it download a news segment hourly but might not get to listen for a day and no longer need the old ones), they are not getting deleted. They're still in the app and the trash can is available. Do I not have one of the settings correct? I have the Automatic Deletion option checked.

Hi,
Right now there's no link between the downloaded file and the read status. So if you mark an episode read it will not delete the file.
You can delete it manually or you can delete every read episodes from the filter 'Downloaded episodes'. In the menu select the 'Delete read episodes' entry.
I will add a new pref to automatically delete an episode when it's mark read.
Regarding the issue with your BT headset is it a one time problem ? I don't have a BT headset to test it, but I'm using a 'wired' headset on a daily basis and the play/pause commands works great. I'll try to look into this problem but without some hardware to test I cant't promess anything
Notifications
First I would like to thank you for making such a great app. I tried a bunch of apps and this one was definitely the best. I have one piece of feedback about the notifications. It gives two boxes when podcasts update. One that says updates have been downloaded and another that says how many. I think the notification would be more useful if it showed one box with the app symbol then listed the podcasts downloaded. Thanks. David

Only one suggestion:
Is it possible to add support for the Chrome Extension "Sway.fm Unified Music Media Keys"
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/swayfm-unified-music-medi/icckhjgjjompfgoiidainoapgjepncej
Many Streaming Services, such as 8tracks.com or just simple youtube-Playback work within the browser.
This extension allows the usage of the Macs Media Keys with those "in page playbacks".
It would be great to have an option to send the media controls just to the OS, without any other appliction selected. Then the aforementioned Chrome extension would capture the input and redirect it. I guess that would be the easiest way.
Thanks for your work!
PS: I liked the Tutorial. Easy and really helpful!
Awesome app, here's some stuff to make it perfect:
- Auto connection on app start.
- Only one button for Play/Pause would be good for some apps.
- Some applications has wrong capitalization.
Awsome work!!! works flowlessy. just maybe add in the tutorial that you need to add your username and password of the mac system. because i let access to everyone but i cannot connect until i added them!!!
where can we donate for a beer? thanks!
It's fantastic, thank you so much
Just a question, there is a way to control Apple TV also with this your new software? Ty in advance...

Great!
I can't seem to get it to work with any app. It clearly connects, and I can control the volume, brightness, and the other non-app specific functions, but not anything else. I've mainly been trying to get it to work with MPlayerX, but iTunes and Quicktime also did not work. Any ideas?
QuickTime right now is broken and I don't know why... itunes and MplayerX should work... On the next release I'm planning to implement some sort of loging system to make debugging easier...
Stay tunned, but I'd avise to restart computer maybe (idk, I'm just especulating) ... wich OSX version do you have?

Umm, OS X 10.8.2.
Really nice app! As I read in a comment, I'd love a fast forward/rewind option, instead of the skip by chunks (or if it's easier, a "go to *time*"). It can be implemented like the swipe to fast forward/rewind in the MacBook touchpad. Other than that, it's awesome (tested with VLC so far).
First i just want to thank you mushrom for this innovative tool for our beloved android devices and our macs .
Ill be using this mostly for Spotify, it works well but i cannot pause the player i can only play it. Other than that works great, i can raise the volume up and down and adjust brightness as well.
Im running a Macbook late 2009 edition with 10.6.8 SL if that helps at all. Thanks again
Works great. Thanks so much.
Is there any way to control the mouse or keyboard as well ala Unified Remote?
Also a fast forward and reverse button for MplayerX as well.
Thanks.
I just got a Mac yesterday. Not sure if possible but it would be great if this worked over Bluetooth. Thanks!
Awesome exactly what I have been looking for, would be great if you can add Plex support.
not working for me. Maybe because I am on college network and this is prevented somehow?
Re: [APP][2.3+] Mac remote (1.7)
Not working for everyone?

Plex is unlikely to happen, I think is out of the scope of this application, also there are some apps already!

If they block ssh connections (Wich probably do) then you cant... You can allways create a hotspot by the phone or the mac eitherway and connect.
MplayerX problems are because the only suported version is the latest one! And quicktime fix is comming in following update
Also powerpoint coming!
