Issue Reporting / Re: Apple Music

« on: March 17, 2022, 08:19:45 am »

The M1 mac arrived Tuesday and I started testing yesterday.   I am able to duplicate the playback error you found and the root cause of the problem is a bug in the Apple Music player on Mac where the player does not update the current playback time so my app has no clue if the song is actually playing.  I also found a number of other serious incompatibilities with volume control and such that make the Apple Music playback on mac unusable.  Playback with actual music files seems to work ok, so for now I may just remove the Apple Music integration when the App is installed on a Mac.  Hopefully, Apple will improve the Apple music compatibility in future versions and I can restore that functionality.

I just ordered a new Mac mini with the M1 chip so I can test what you are seeing.  It was not possible to run my Walkout Song DJ app on a Mac before this year, but now that it is, I agree that a Mac would be a pretty good platform for the app, more people will try it, and I really need to be able to test with one.

It is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday, so I should have some clarity on the issue you are seeing this week.  In the meantime, I would recommend trying it on an iPhone or iPad you have available so we can confirm the Mac environment is the culprit.

That's going to be tricky for me to solve as I do not have a MacBook Air available and I have never tested the app on anything but iPhones, iPads, and iPods.  I will take a look at the code around that error message to see if there is a clue as to what might cause it.

Has that error message always happened with the Apple Music on this device or did it work before and broke recently?

Sadly, many Bluetooth speakers in combination with iPhones are not very good at mixed music sources (announcements and Apple music) either delaying or cutting off or muting the music or announcements.  You can verify that is the issue by playing the announcements through just your iphone speaker.  If they work correctly that way, then I would recommend just using a long aux cable between your phone and the speaker.  You can buy an iPhone aux adapter on amazon for around $8 and a 25 ft aux cable for less than $10.  Generally, the performance of the app is much better if you can avoid bluetooth.

Are you playing them over a Bluetooth speaker by chance?  Is this on Android or Apple?

Tap the > button at the end of the player row to open the song configuration screen.  Then set the cue time to the time you want to start playing and the duration for how long you want to play.

Thanks for reporting the issue and sending the file and your data collection.  I was able to duplicate the issue, figure out the cause and get a fix uploaded to the App Store.  Hopefully, Apple will finish their review in the next day or two.

Is this on Android or Apple?  Can you email that file to me walkoutsongdj@gmail.com so I can try to reproduce here?  I very likely can fix it, but the release process through the app stores always takes several days.  It would probably be quicker for you to export your settings and email them to yourself.  Uninstall the app to clear everything, reinstall and import your settings back.  Then you would just need to reimport the files without the bad one,

The best app for downloading mp3s on any Android device is my simple song collector that you can find a link for on this thread:  https://upallnitesoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=246.0

If you really want to purchase songs, my recommendation is to use Amazon in a browser on a pc to download and then upload to your device with a usb or google drive. 

There really is no Android app that I am aware of for purchasing songs that would allow easy access to the resulting mp3 files.
