NEW: Playnext added to more options menu on any track, inserts the track as the next in the playqueue. NEW: Tablet with larger screens will now see an expanded side menu and a larger mini-player with a pop up play queue viewer. NEW: Updated layout for detail views, round buttons with icons replacing text entries NEW: Swipe down on player screen and downloads screen to close NEW: Disc number display on albums and tracks sorted by disc NEW: Friendly time display, supports hours, minutes, seconds properly NEW: Reactive background colours, background will update based on the most vibrant colours in album and artist images NEW: Fanart.tv integration moved to settings, if you are not getting proper artist images from your server then turn this setting on and substreamer will grab them from fanart.tv for you. Good for forks that still try to pull from last.fm and get the "grey star" image for all artists. Navidrome has great artist image support now so I have made this an option rather than the default! NEW: Skip back now goes to the start of the playing song unless the song is under 10s in. FIX: Broken cached images when switching between internal and external servers or changing the server address FIX: Shuffle play on offline starred songs list FIX: rare intermittent issue with first time DB creation FIX: caching for navidrome local artist images FIX: stop screen jumping about when loading artist detail FIX: don't show empty brackets when year value is missing from album data FIX: Recently added doesn't refresh on homescreen after scan FIX: better detection and handling when something goes wrong, reset and return to the home screen rather than crashing with a corrupted layout. FIX: update a bunch of inconsistent wording (ie download/cache/set offline) A bunch of other stuff I have probably forgotten already....

New: Variable playback rate - access it in the player screen New: Quick search on home screen - let's you quickly find something and start playing New: Bookmark autoname setting - if enabled in settings, bookmarks will be automatically named for when they are created so you don't have to type a name every time. I keep podcast's bookmarks to pick up later and got sick of typing "podcast" every time as title! New: Artist Images in artist list, if you have previously viewed an artist their image will now display in the artists list. At the top right there is also a button to download ALL artist images / info and cache them or to force a refresh of all if you need to. New: Some new options at the tail end of settings for clearing cached data (not your offline music just cached data like artist info, album lists etc) in case something isn't behaving right New: Musicbrainz API integration for correcting artist matches. LastFM sometimes returns wrong MBID's which breaks artwork retrieval from fanart.tv, if we get a failed fanart.tv request now substreamer will automatically check for a different MBID and try again. Fixed a bunch of my artists. This is currently automatic in the background but I will expose the ability to fix matches manually in the future. New: display file format for downloaded music in offline music screen (currently supporting MP3/FLAC display), will expand this to show the server side format in online album views etc as well in time. Update: Light theme got a bit of love Update: flat buttons (no more drop shadows) Update: more options for offline cache size limit Fix: standardise key images and layout across pages, there was a bit of variation where I had missed things Fix: fixed some "more options" menus that had broken or missing items to be more consistent Fix: side menu expanded to large on tablets wasting screen space Fix: adjusted title logo on landscape tablet view Fix: offline file size now correct when transcoding is used, previously the original filesize was always used. This is a FORWARD LOOKING change, it will not go back and correct your current cache space usage number but will be correct going forward. Fix: don't scrobble podcasts, it confuses the server Fix: Max bitrate is now honored when transcoding Fix: album list in artist view sorted by release date

fix: intermittent issue not resuming playback from last position on start up fix: remove 128gb cache size limit, add more cache size options fix: auto cache / set offline not honoring max bitrate

November 23, 2021

fix: chromecast streaming would stop when in background fix: cannot seek to start of track on player screen using the progress bar on some songs

November 11, 2021

Fix: Unable to set items offline when transcoding enabled Fix: Scrobbling sending incorrect value for time, causing scrobble fails

October 14, 2021

New: Cache format selection, you can now select the cache format the same as you can with stream format, this affects auto cache and when you set something as available offline. Your device must support the original audio format if transcoding is disabled. New: FLAC support for local files when using Original cache stream format. Fix: intermittent issue when suspended in background on some devices (white screen issue) Fix: recently played and frequently played not updating for navidrome and funkwhale Removed: scrobble to last.fm setting removed, will use whatever is configured on your server

New - Recommendations section on home screen provides direct access to random play and recommended playlists generated based on your recent plays and starred songs. New - Random playlist length setting. Allows you to configure the playlist length when using the play random recommendation on the home screen. New - Swipe to skip tracks in player view New - Improved Search Option added to settings. Sends your search query in a format which will cause the server to match the entire phrase exactly instead of matching any word in the phrase which is the default. Works with most subsonic forks (subsonic/airsonic/airsonic-advanced/madsonic etc). Does NOT work with Ampache. If you enable and then get no search results then your server does not know how to handle the query. Do let me know if you find servers that don't work and I will add specific notes. Fix: More info button in the playqueue would always show options for the current playing track Fix: album list showing broken playcount rather than track count Fix: bug in URL matching on login in some scenarios Fix: Faster loading Starred songs list with long list Fix: Faster loading play queue with long queue Fix: Updated animations between now playing/play queue as they were stuttery Fix: Similar artists list in artist detail view does not display when there is only 1 similar artist Fix: Shuffle play on artist detail view does nothing Probably some other stuff I have forgotten...
