projectM music visualization for Kodi - Miscellaneous Android Development

Can we add projectM as a music visualization addon. If so how would I do it and where would I find the necessary files?

Install from Google Play and then run from the link on your Android desktop. I will warn you that the free version is not ad free and quickly loads up an ad when running and you have to manually clear the ad - I uninstalled. The paid version is $2.99, but does not indicate whether it is ad-free or not. For KODI you install from google play, go to your Android apps in KODI and click on the ProjectM link with a C or right mouse to open the dialogue box and set it up as a favorite. Then go to System - appearance - settings - shortcut and set up ProjectM as a desktop shortcut in KODI. ProjectM should be shown as a favorite when setting up a shortcut.
Good Luck

You can download the projectM apk to your phone. Sideload it and set it up as your daydream. I've overridden the kodi screensaver in the past or you can just open it from kodi

Marked. Will try later.

[App] Zune/WP7 style music player for Android

I though I'd post this in the general Android forum as well since this works in most Android devices.
The developer of Launcher Pro has released an alpha version of a music player which is functionally and visually similar to the Zune and WP7 music player. Personally I really like this app. Visually it's the best looking music player on Android.
You can follow the developer on twitter here, where he posts updates on the app as well as links to the latest release: https://twitter.com/#!/fedecarnales
I've found information on the app, download like as well as a how-to install it here:
http://www.stuff-review.com/2011-05/zune-and-windows-phone-7-styled-music-player-for-android/
Tip: make sure you have 'unknown sources' check before you open the file.
The current version is Alpha3 with changelog:
Fixed some out-of-memory FCs related to album artwork and artist backgrounds.
Fixed a FC when "shuffle all" was pressed before having played any songs.
Fixed the previous song's album art showing in Now Playing when no artwork is found for the current song.
Fixed a visual glitch for album art in the Now Playing screen on Honeycomb.
Enabled vertical scrolling in Now Playing (portrait mode) for low resolution devices devices like HTC Wildfire.
Modified status bar notification layout to include album art of the currently playing song.
Added menu item to go back to Library from the Now Playing screen (Menu > Library)
Added menu item to open the Now Playing screen from any other screen (Menu > Now Playing)
In the Now Playing screen, clicking on the artist name will take you to that artist's screen. Same with album name.
Disabled artist background downloading when roaming, and data roaming is disabled on your phone.
You can now long-press any song/artist/album/playlist/genre to add it to the current play queue.
Added compatibility for scrobbling with the Last.fm app
Added a Settings screen (in the main "Music" screen press Menu > Settings)
Added support for controlling playback with your headset. You can disable this in the settings.
Added option to download artist backgrounds only when connected to Wi-Fi to avoid data charges.
Added option to change the UI accents color (default is blue).
Added a provisional icon to the app.
Hope you enjoy!!!
p.s.: as of Alpha3 this app now has an auto-expire, probably to make sure you have the latest version.
Alpha 4 is out:
download:
http://launcherpro.com/music/
instructions as above.
Change log
Alpha 4
Fixed a bug that caused the app to fail to restore the shuffle setting when restarted.
Added a 4x1 Widget with album art, song info, and playback controls
You can now long-press any song/artist/album/playlist/genre to add it to a playlist. You can also create a new playlist by choosing "New" instead of an existing playlist.
Added a new "Folders" tab that lists any folders that contain music from your library. Clicking on a folder name will open a list of the songs in that folder.
Added a new option in the Settings screen to choose which tabs to show in the main "Music" screen.
Added a new option to show/hide album art in the "Now Playing" screen..
Alpha 5 is out, fixing some of the issues people have had with the widget and playlists.
Changelog:
Fixed startup force close that happened on some HTC phones.
Made the entire widget clickable, so that clicking anywhere (outside the play/pause/next buttons) will open the app.
Added the ability to delete playlists by long-pressing on a playlist and choosing "Delete".
Added an option to set the default tab to show when the application is started.
New option to use a custom status bar instead of the system status bar. Touch it to reveal more info (battery charge, Wifi status, signal strength, data connection). Swipe it down to open the notifications panel. Please note that due to limitations in the Android system, it's not possible to show notifications in the custom status bar or customize the notifications panel.
you said it!.... visually the best music player app...... the only thing it needs is an equalizer...... still a great app nonetheless!! thanks!

[APP][2.3+] Music Player (Remix)

I'd like to introduce everyone to a unique music player app that I've developed called "Music Player (Remix)". I started developing it 4 years ago as a homebrew app on the old webOS platform. It quickly became the most downloaded homebrew webOS app. I eventually released it into the official webOS app catalog and it became the #4 top-rated app (#1 in the Music category).
As a user, I moved to Android over 2 year ago and of all the apps I missed on webOS, the biggest one was my own being someone who loves listening to music all the time (at work, in the car, at home, doing the lawn, etc). I tried out all the other music apps, and they all had their positive points, but none of them had the unique features I put into Music Player (Remix). So eventually I decided to build my own app porting over a lot of the features in the webOS version that users on that platform loved, but added a lot of new features and changed the overall user interface. Now everything is just a swipe away, even when you're not in the app! (read below for details).
When developing the app, I really wanted to think outside-of-the-box when coming up with the best way to do things in a music app. As a result, Music Player (Remix) has a lot of features and design concepts that you won't find in any other music app, but when you experience them you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.
Here's a list of some of the biggest features:
- Large, finger-friendly controls on phones and tablets. Tap the top of the album art to pause/play. Tap the bottom-right to go to the next track. Tap the bottom-left to go to the previous track.
- While using other apps, swipe from the bottom of the screen to reveal the "mini-player" allowing you to control your music & access your now playing list, playlists, and faves without leaving other apps.
- Notification when new songs are added to your device (can be disabled).
- Intuitive swipe navigation and gestures:
* Swipe from bottom for the Now Playing list and music controls.
* Swipe from right for your music library, search, help, preferences, and aesthetic customizations.
* Swipe from left for faves, playlists, and autolists.
* Swipe right on a song in the Now Playing list to remove it. Swipe left to queue it to play next. (customizable)
* Swipe right on a song in a playlist to remove it. Swipe left to move it to the top of the list. (customizable)
- Auto-generated playlists (called "Autolists") available based upon your listening habits.
- 5 customizable quick shortcuts at the top of the Now Playing screen. Assign various functions to each one included Add to Playlist, Save bookmark, Lyrics, Share song, View YouTube video, and much more.
- All screens are optimized for portrait & landscape orientations.
- The Now Playing screen has been optimized for 7" & 8.9"/10" tablets. (Eventually will be modifying all the app's screens)
- All library browsing screens have several display & sorting options.
- Save bookmarks in a song & visual markers will appear on the scrubber bar. Tap prev/next to jump between bookmarks or use the "View Bookmarks" option to select a bookmark.
- Any time you play a song, a bookmark is automatically saved when you leave the song. To go back to the previous play position in a song, use the "View Bookmarks" option.
- Download album art for any song or album. Select from several choices with different image resolutions. Album art is embedded directly in the music files.
- Download lyrics and embed directly in the music file (or optionally save in an external text file). Pinch/zoom the lyrics to change the font size. Karaoke feature for recording yourself singing along.
- Advanced playlist management including drag/drop song re-ordering & multi-add mode. While in multi-add mode, go to any screen within the app and tap songs/albums/artists/genres/composers to quickly add them to the playlist.
- In-app wikipedia browser available for albums, artists, genres, and composers.
- Jellybean expandable notifications with super-sized album art and music controls.
- 5 band equalizer with built-in presets, bass boost, and virtualizer.
- Last.fm scrobbling with caching during internet outages (no external app required to be installed for scrobbling).
- Stylish 4x1 & 4x2 home screen widgets with customizable color & opacity.
- Various lock screen control options including basic controls (ICS+), advanced mini-player controls (ICS+), or the 4x2 widget (Android 4.2+).
- Fine-tuned controls for quickly skipping backward & forward by 5/30/60 seconds. Long-tap the pause/play tap area to reveal (or hide) the controls.
- And much, much more!!!
There is a free, fully-functional 14-day trial available in the Google Play Store. The full version (priced at $4.99) is also available in the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

He says it's in the google play store.
The forum rules at the top of this forum section indicate your can't post links to your app if it's commercial. So I didn't post the link. The trial version is free, so am I allowed to post a link to that?
But anyway, you can find it in the Google Play Store or Amazon App Store by searching for "Music Player (Remix)".

But in the meantime, please search for "Music Player (Remix)" in the Play Store and you should find the trial version. Try it out and let me know your impressions in this thread.

Version 1.4.3 has been released to the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store. It has a new autolist called "Breath of Fresh Air" that allows you to play a random mix of songs you haven't played recently. It also contains a bunch of bug fixes.
The 14-day free, fully-functional trial version is being reset for all users!
Here's the complete changelog:
- (New Feature) Add 'Breath of Fresh Air' autolist (random mix of songs not recently played).
- (Bug Fix) NuPlay new song notifications sometimes did not appear immediately on certain devices.
- (Bug Fix) If the 'Auto play when loading app' setting was selected (on the 'Miscellaneous' Preferences screen) and you switched orientations while the music was paused, the music would resume playing.
- (Bug Fix) The basic lockscreen controls would sometimes still appear even after disabling them or even killing the app.
- (Bug Fix) If you switched to a bookmark from the widget or notification controls and then brought up the mini-player, the song/album/artist info would be blank.
- (Bug Fix) Fixes for various causes of app crashes.
- (Bug Fix) Users in a restricted profile under Android 4.3+ may not have access to all apps (such as a web browser), so before launching an external app (for instance to view a web page), verify the user has access to that external resource. If not, display an error.

Immediate reaction... Its really good :thumbup: the options given are so much I need some days to fully check it out properly
Just one suggestion for now... I missed the play/pause and next/ previous song buttons. Then I found out it was hidden in the album art. A small downfall there.. And when I first opened the app... The music directly started blasting ( a heavy metal one ) and I freaked out. ( was alone in a dark room... Imagine my horror!! )

Yeah I plan on adding a welcome screen to introduce users to the user interface. But I figure most people like you figure out where the controls are.
Yeah the first time you load the app, it starts a "Shuffle All" list. It won't auto-play on subsequent loads, unless you turn the option on via the Preferences screen (tap the gear icon at the top of the right-side sliding panel).
I'd still prefer a seperate play/pause and prev/next buttons.

You have them, but they're incorporated on the album art for 2 reasons:
1) The controls are much larger (finger-friendly). It's so easy to use without even looking at the screen. Really nice in the car (when docked).
2) Removing the separate controls allows room for the customizable preset controls for one-touch access to your favorite functions (bookmarks, lyrics, album art downloading, youtube videos, album & artist search, etc.)
When designing this user interface I wanted to think outside of the box. Give it a try and I think you'll really like it once you use it awhile.
I guess it was in the opening post
Didn't read it well will see it through and nice thought :thumbup: :beer:
thnxx
Have a bit of dilemma...
Hi, I'm using your app as of now (while typing this post) and it's pretty great, but..
But when I press the Next button on Album Art, sometimes the music forwards due to pressing the music time-line (or what you might call it) accidentally. Also true and vice-versa with the Previous button.
Any fix and/or suggestion pal?

Are you talking about the fine-tuned controls (5sec, 30sec, 60sec backward/forward)? If so, just long-tap the pause/play section of the album art to toggle those controls.
If you're talking about the scrubber bar, it shouldn't be anywhere near the album art...at least not close enough to affect the controls. If it is on your device, please post a screenshot (or send me one to hedami DOT support AT gmail DOT com).

- Rotation:
Pictures and Videos can be rotated in 90° steps
- Zoom:
Pictures and Videos can be zoomed in & out.
- Artist: & Albums:
The music category got 2 new tabs for Artists and Albums
- Paste Link:
You can now paste every link in the App. Instead of blindly searching a video link and playing it, all links to videos will be displayed. You can choose to play it or queue it. This works for links that get shared with the app, too.
- TV Layout:
I don't use a ready made receiver app by Google anymore, but a custom one, where I had to build everything myself, so it looks different. To avoid burn in on Plasma and other TVs, when only music is playing, the background changes and the cover moves.
- Subtitles + SMB:
I forgot to handle subtitles from smb shares. So an easy fix for now is: copy the subtitle to your device. Start the movie from your smb share and add the subtitle.
Thanks! Downloaded and works like a charm on my nexus 7 2013.
If you continue with this, could you possibly add subtitle support?
EDIT: How does the app screen for videos? There are a couple that didn't show up, but they're unplayable with Avia/Real Player Cloud as well. Does the app only show videos that are compatible with the ChromeCast?
You sir are my hero
I would say I love you but then my wife might get jealous
PS: Subtitles support would be quite awesome
PS2: Haven't downloaded the app and I'm already waiting for incoming updates and in love with it
EDIT
It's working like a charm but I would like to ask for a feature if it's possible.
Right now the app scans the memory for video files which is great BUT, it's a bit of a mess if you have several videos from whatsapp, downloaded files, camera files, etc.
Would it be possible to separate the files per folders like "Whatsapp videos" Camera Videos", etc... Like how the gallery works.
Also, it would be awesome to be able to also show the pictures and not only the videos... I know is a lot to ask for, but that would make the app perfect...
Also, as I said, the app is working awesomely
I can use this app but, it doesn't detect all of my video files. It detects 1 or 2 in the same folder and same format and permissions and everything but, doesn't detect the others. What can I do?

D/l'd. And was about to test...but my stomach started growling. I would love music, screencast and pics as well. Would be a total hit.
Anyone know if there is a app that allows us to implement or own wallpapers into chromecast yet?
Nice app, good coding, but.....,from my point of view it wil need more work on format suport, "local" will also need to include a local NAS. On controling video play back it will also need a way to jump, fast forward,
Again good coding and thanks

[APP][TimberX] Material theme music player written in Kotlin+Architecture components

Around 6 months back, I decided to completely rewrite my Timber music player and today I have published the new version, TimberX.
https://github.com/naman14/TimberX
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.naman14.timberx
TimberX is built with latest development tools and design patterns.
- Written in Kotlin
- Android Architecture Components (ViewModels, Livedata, Room)
- Databinding
TimberX works across all devices including
- Phones
- Android Wear
- Android Auto
- Chromecast and other cast devices
- Google Assistant
I know that there are lots of music players out there but I always wanted to rewrite my original music player in Kotlin and properly explore the capabilities of the MediaSession APIs in Android. This new version is built on a single MediaBrowserService that is used by all connecting clients.
Looking forward to the feedback on the architecture of the app and contributions are welcome. Thanks!
The app on play store is paid, exactly same version is available on Github release for free and is also attached here
Looks really good so far! I bought the paid version because the UI is so pretty. How do you get into the extra options though? I can't find an actual settings button. Also on the player screen the 3 dot menu button on the top right is unresponsive on my Pixel 2 Android 9
Thanks for purchasing! There is no settings menu as such in the app currently. Will fix the overflow menu on player screen
looks amazing and finally music player with material design v2 , thanks , i hope you ll update it regularly
Yes! Have already started working on adding dark mode

Awesome. Can't wait to see where it goes. Looks so good already. ?
I have a few questions regarding the app's features:
- Will the upcoming dark mode come as dark grey or black?
- Any chance for opus support?
- How do lyrics work?
Other than that it's coming along. Here are some things I noticed:
- App crashes when viewing albums on 5.1.1 (Stock LG)
- FLAC, m4a, wma, and even OGG work
- "Up next", very useful for shuffle or long playlists
- Spacious UI for the now playing screen
- Seekbar starts at the end of the line. Timestamp works otherwise

I have a few questions regarding the app's features:
- Will the upcoming dark mode come as dark grey or black?
- Any chance for opus support?
- How do lyrics work?
Other than that it's coming along. Here are some things I noticed:
- App crashes when viewing albums on 5.1.1 (Stock LG)
- FLAC, m4a, wma, and even OGG work
- "Up next", very useful for shuffle or long playlists
- Spacious UI for the now playing screen
- Seekbar starts at the end of the line. Timestamp works otherwise
- Responsive, no stuttering

- Depends on the implementation that will be followed, the last time I added theme engine to Timber, there was too much theming sepcific code throughout the app. I want to avoid that this time. If I am able to find a clean way to implement dark mode then yeah, there will be more combinations available.
- Opus support is not planned currently
- Lyrics are fetched from a public api- makeitpersonal.co
Lyrics embedded in the mp3 file will be parsed and displayed in next release.
Will check the crash on album details. Thanks for the detailed feedback.
Can u please increse the size of album art. its looks too small. and looks uglish
Hi, love this app! I can do some french translation with pleasure
Nice. Will look awesome with dark theme. :good:
One bug - 3 dot menu isn't accessible in "now playing" page.
Looks awesome. I recommend everyone to try it. Great work Naman

Can you please attach a screenshot and confirm your device, I think this may be happening on low resolution devices.

If you have a smartwatch, then start playing any song with your phone and then you can swipe left on the now playing notification in your watch to access controls and swipe left again to access you whole music library on the watch.
Oh, i had hoped for a smartwatch app as well. Anyway, the above mentioned things work with the default music player as well.

Hey, so how do I use it on Google Assistant? I can't even use it because it doesn't recognize the app's name.
I also found a bug: The song progress bar and time don't reset when the song ends.
Also I'd like the ability to use my own time-stamped lyrics, and to be able to customize the player more.
This app is interesting nonetheless!

Hi! Can you check if you are able to control playback using Assistant (try saying play song/pause song/next song when you are using Timber), or does assistant doesn't work at all?
Already noted the progressbar bug, more customisability will be soon be added in future releases.

Jio TV, Android TV Box : Make it more accessible

I have found that Jio TV box provided with Jio Fiber Connection, is not allowing to use general settings.
How ever being an Android TV Box, settings will be available in an application form. So one can always install applications that allow to remap the buttons or keys either on Remote Controller / Keyboard / Mouse. e.g. "Button Mapper" is one such application.
I personally does not have Jio TV Box, but I have found many searching for solution. Above trick might work your you. If any problem occurs, please reply in comment.
can't install any application. how would we install a remapper?
You can install it from Google Play Store.
If you are not finding that application in Play Store, then you will have to "Side Load" that application.
"Side Load" an app means, you will have to download the apk file of the application, put it/make accessible for your JioTV box, enable third party application in settings, and then install the apk file by clicking it on JioTV box. If you are new to side loading you can Google it YouTube it for nice explanation and demonstration of it.
I hope this helps you.

- There is no "Play Store"
- There no way to install apk. Native android "Settings" are not accessible.
JioTV box is a trimmed down version of Android OS without Google Play Store. This means you need to use other Apps and tools for this purpose.
You can watch this youtube video, that explains how to install JioTV Apk on JioTV Box.

Similarly you can install the application you want.

Youtube video is 9 months old and is not applicable anymore
The options he accesses in his video are not available in jio tv box now.
That's pretty old video...
Yes, After Feb 2020 Jio had removed the Android Settings as well as App Installer.
The default set top box comes with options of installing third party software, as soon as you connect it with Internet it gets update and it blocks everything.
We need to wait till some solutions is possible for this.
