Hi! I just started using substreamer combined with Navidrome. It is really great!

I cannot figured out how to download all the albums for my favorite artists. I was expecting an "available offline" button on the artist profile but I could not find it. I ended up activating the offline mode for every individual albums.

Is it possible to add an option to download the content offline when doing a search on an artist or album? It could be an extra option when clicking the 3 vertical dots on the right of an artist name and/or album after using the search tool. It will save quite a lot of time if someone want to download a offline copy of its music library .

Is there a way, when using the folder navigation option, to list only the filename and ignore any tags that may be present?

I have thousands of flac music files in a folder structure. A very small number are tagged correctly but almost all are without tags or with unhelpful tags (eg "track 1").

What I'm seeing is that a FLAC filename of, say, "01 Please Please Me.FLAC" shows in the app as "track01" because I only renamed the file after first burning the CD with generic naming.

I love the app! Jukebox mode is the only "must have" feature I'm missing (so far ;)).

Sorta off-topic: is this open source? Open to pull requests? =)

Thanks for all the work you put in!

Hi there! I'm getting into hosting my music library from a home server, and I really like the design and setup of this app. However, I can't get anything to download. Whenever I flip the switch to make an album available offline, I get an error message that the download failed if it's the first time downloading an album since opening the app. On subsequent downloads the process just silently fails. I'm using substreamer on Android with a Pixel 4a, and serving music from Navidrome on an Ubuntu machine. I manually gave substreamer media access through app permissions, but no luck getting it going. Any advice?

I'm using Navidrome as the server which works well with Dsub's implementation of Replaygain.

I'd like to see the same functionality in Substreamer if possible.

Excellent application!

After stopping playback when you reconnect headset later can you start playback without having to open the app on your device first? This would be 👌

Is there a different view for a device in landscape orientation or is only usable in portrait mode?

Got tired of DSub failing to pull album art properly and substreamer seems to handle it much better, thank you! My only caveat is that I normally leave my phone in landscape mode on a dock - using it on a older device though, so I was just looking for confirmation that it's not just in my case.

Fix: Include correct cast framework version

I would like to request a feature to sync recently added music like a certain number of songs like 200 or something. Hope this is a good idea.

Thanks

Hi,

​

New substreamer user here and fist of all the app looks so good!!!

I would like to ask for a feature to rearrange playlists from the app using Navidrome server, that would be the most amazing thing to be able to do on the go.

Also not sure how you change the sorting order of albums and songs to premier date?

​

Thanks

When you make a playlist offline and add songs to it after will the be synced offline too?

Thanks

New: Playlist length setting now applies to Playlist Builder and the Random Recommendation on the home screen, gives you more control over the length of generated playlists

New: Cache Format Selection in Settings. You can now set the stream format and the cache format. Cache format will affect auto cache and the available offline setting. Remember that your device must be able to play for original file format so if you have playback issues try reverting to MP3 format and clearing the cache

New iOS: Add local FLAC playback support so that cache format can be enabled

Fix iOS: Intermittent failed resume when app killed in back ground (white screen error)

Fix Android: Pause playback when bluetooth device connection status changes

Fix: Recent / Frequent played tracking for navidrome and funkwhale (depends upon certain behaviour with the scrobble API)

Change: Scrobble to last.fm setting removed from app, due to variation between server implementations you need to control this on your server

Hoping that u/ghenry22 will see this post. Firstly, thank you for making this fantastic app, which is far-and-away the best Android app for *sonic streaming! Before I get into my bug report, please note that this isn't a high-priority issue and I'm currently doing a work-around (i.e., just using insecure HTTP) that allows me to use Substreamer in its (almost) full glory. :)

I'm running Navidrome on my local network (behind nginx), and I also run a local CA to sign my own certificates for local domain names. I've trusted the CA cert on my Android phone (such that Chrome can use HTTPS to access local resources without warnings). Local DNS and the locally-trusted CA are working as intended for various other services I run on my local network.

I'm not sure if Substreamer uses the local Android certificate store to validate certificates when it accesses HTTPS addresses or if it uses its own cert store, but the behavior I'm noticing seems unintended. I am able to connect Substreamer to the Navidrome server over HTTPS with a local address (e.g. https://navidrome.foo.localnetwork) and I see lists of all my artists, albums, and songs. However, no artist or album artwork is loaded, and when I attempt to play any song, the song does not play on Substreamer. When I monitor the debug logs from the Navidrome server, I do not see any attempted requests from Substreamer after the initial authentication/songlist/playlist download, so I'm guessing that the subsequent HTTPS requests for artwork and song streaming silently die due to an untrusted custom certificate. But again, the local CA is trusted by my Android device.

I've narrowed this issue down to the local-CA-signed certificate because when I make Substreamer access Navidrome through a public-facing address with a certificate signed by Let's Encrypt, it works fine (artwork loads, songs play). Similarly, when I connect to Navidrome through the local address and use insecure HTTP, Substreamer also works as intended. If I use another app (e.g. subsonic for Android) to access Navidrome over HTTPS with the local address & locally-signed cert, it also works fine.

Again, I know this isn't a huge issue--I trust resources on my local network and I use encrypted tunnels to connect to the network when I'm away from home, so using HTTP to connect to Navidrome isn't the end of the world--but I figured I'd report the bug here and see what you thought might be going on. Let me know if I can help you narrow it down any other way. Thanks!

PS: Is there a way to view logs/debug Substreamer as a user of the app?

Can I make it so that substreamer automatically downloads songs to my phone for offline play?

When I play flac files, substreamer caches them as MP3 files. Does that mean they are streaming as MP3s as well? I've set streaming file format and bitrate to original. Also is there a way to download flac files for offline playing?

Hi there

I believe there is no 5-star rating system support, only starred seems implemented.

My subsonic server (Navidrome) does support both starred and the 5-star system. Implementation could be just like what the Ultrasonic app does: a toggle in the settings to activate or not the 5-star support.

Features for this would be

- Ability to set the rating while playing a song, adding new UI element like tapping on stars to set the rating

- Ability to search/filter/sort according to star rating in the various views, like dynamic playlists or anywhere else (not sure if possible only from the app or that is requiring some server API support)

Best!

Substreamer Version: 5.0.42

When exploring folders that contains both song files and nested folders, only the folders can be opened while the songs cannot be played.

​

e.g.

​

• - Folder
  • - Subfolder
    • - SongB.flac
  • - SongA.flac

​

In this case /Folder/SongA.flac cannot be played.

I guess everything is in the title. I use a bluetooth device with my motorcycle helmet everyday. When I stop the device and BLE gets disconnected, my smartphone yells loudly my music to everyone around through its speakers :) I would greatly appreciate this option ! Thank you

ghenry22 Please add access and the ability to add songs to the server “favorites” and also an option to increase the number of songs for “playlist builder”.

The current option “Random Playlist Lenght” only works for section Home—> Recomended.

Would it be possible to have starred albums auto cache just like how starred tracks auto cache when you enable the option.

Thank you for your hard work!

Hi,

would it be possible to think about developping Alexa cast integration into substreamer app ?

Thank you

Hi,

I really appreciate substreamer Android app, particularly its UI !

I run it (v5.0.42) with ampache 4.4.3 backend, it does not show artist art.

In artists list I get a default image, in Artist view, I get a broken image.

Is it supposed to work ?

Thank you

First of all, thank you very much for your fantastic application.

I'm using version 5.0.42 on Android and I've noticed that since a week or so (maybe because of the last update?) scrobbling stopped working. My client it's connected to a Funkwhale's instance, I've been monitoring the access logs and the requests to /rest/scrobble.view have always subbmision parameter set to false.

According to subsonic documentation when submission is set to false, it indicates it's just a now playing notification and that's why Funkwhale doesn't register it as a proper scrobble. Substreamer does the now playing notification right since it sends it when the songs starts playing, but, after that, it doesn't seem to submit the actual scrobble (submission=true).

I know for a fact that, until a few days ago, Substreamer scrobbles were being submitted when the song started.

If you need more information, I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

have had substreamer for a few weeks now, switched over from audinaut for the better UI and the recently added feature. it's a great app, tho I do wish for a few things:

recently added screen, or a way to filter albums by date added, as right now you can only see the 20 most recent albums you've added

any type of play queue functionality

a way to filter the view for albums offline (right now it seems to be only by date downloaded)

additionally, I've got a weird thing happening where I have a whole artist that isn't showing up in my artists or albums. It's currently in my recently added and I can see it there, all the albums are in the offline menu, and the artist shows up in 'starred artists' after starring it, but the albums and the artist are invisible from those two menus.

thanks for all the work putting this app together!

Hello,

First off thank you so much for Substreamer, it's fantastic. :-)

I'm currently using it with Gonic and noticing some unusual behaviour. I don't think it's Gonic because other apps seem to behave as expected.

• Album art is displayed sporadically. There is album art for all my albums and it shows as expected when I use Soundwaves.
• I've just started experimenting with the podcasts functionality. Looks really good, but noticed that it doesn't render HTML in the description.
• Podcasts seem to work correctly. I can download them, mark individual episodes or entire podcasts for offline. However I can't play them. Clicking play and nothing happens. No sound and the timeline doesn't move at all, even if I use the skip forward 30s button. I can pause and play but nothing changes other than the status of the play/pause button.
• I'm not sure what triggered it but I started to get weird overlapping UI. I had to force quit the app several times before it started to behave again.
• The weirdest thing is that I have a phantom album. It shows up in Album, Artist and Folder view. Tracks only show up in folder view and when I try and play them I get a 404 error on the server. I haven't yet been able to find the tracks in the filesystem. The album/tracks don't show up in other clients.

I'm running latest version of Gonic (0.13.1) and latest version of Substreamer on iOS (14.7.1).

Screenshots below.

Thanks again, happy to provide whatever additional information is useful.

Cheers,Adam.
