Issue Reporting / Re: Simple song collector error

Thanks for the report... that error is usually the result of YouTube making changes to their api that breaks the parsing to find the audio streams.  There are some similar reports on the page for the newpipe extractor library I use for that parsing so hopefully they will get it fixed shortly and I will rebuild and update the song collector.  This has happened three times over the last 18 months.  It is usually fixed within 24 hours.

Issue Reporting / Slow download speed

« on: April 07, 2022, 11:07:16 am »

I have noticed recently that the Song Collector is pretty slow downloading audio tracks. 

I tracked the problem down to a recent change in YouTube that is throttling download speed to just a little faster than you would need to maintain a live stream of the material.  I have a new approach in development to download the material in multiple simultaneous smaller chunks and it seems to work well.  Stay tuned for a new release with that improvement in the next week or so.

Then there should be a gain control visible in the song configuration screen that is accessed with the arrow at the end of the player row.   Turn that down some and see if you can match the announcement volume.

I don't see the email yet with your configuration...   Maybe retry the send.

Have you tried killing the Apple Music app and restarting the device?  The Apple Music app is the one actually playing those songs and it has been known to act up occasionally. 

Have you physically downloaded the songs to your iPad in the iTunes library or are they playing from the cloud.  If you haven't downloaded them, you might try that as well.

What version of iPad and iOS are you using?   

Have you tried running it on a different Apple device?

There is quite a big difference between playing a playlist in the Apple Music app and the controlled playback from the Walkout songs app necessary for seeking, fading, and mixing.  There is a new Apple Music player spawned for each song and a parallel file player to allow the playback to continue if the phone sleeps.  It is quite a mess but is required to workaround the multitude of limitations and idiosyncrasies that the Apple Music player has.

I no longer have an iPhone 8 to test the scenario you describe, but I did have one at one time and don't recall any issues like you describe.  You mentioned you are still on iOS 14?  That particular version did have some nasty bugs in the Apple Music playback...   Is it possible for you to upgrade to a 15.x and see if the problem goes away?

Are the songs in the iTunes library from an Apple Music subscription or are they purchased songs or song files you imported to iTunes?

I'm not sure I follow... so if the iPhone is just playing through its speaker, then the issue does not occur?  And when you plug into the stereo system, the issue does occur?  If that is true, I would not suspect any problem with the phone or the app, but possibly something going on with the adapter between the lightning plug of the phone and the stereo system.

The issue that started this thread has been fixed and required a specific '*' character in the name of an imported file to cause the problem.   Not likely to be the issue you are having...


Are you using a Bluetooth speaker when you are having these playback problems?

hmmm... that's a weird one.  Have not heard that reported before.  Could you go on the settings page of the app and share your data via email to me at walkoutsongdj@gmail.com.   I will see if I can reproduce the problem and find a solution.
