UPDATE - BETA3
Not including the bug reported by @thevenin, which I am not experiencing.
Widget bug - solved. One aspect though, which may have been in past but I didn’t notice. If, while paused, one does a rewind (or fast forward), it kicks in when play is hit, but until then it does not show in the timestamp.
Paused episode restarting at beginning afterwards - still happening but less often. Seems to be dependent on how recent it was paused and another episode listened to.
Smart Mark - still not working.
UPDATE - BETA2
Not including the bugs reported by @thevenin (thanks!), which I am not experiencing.
Widget bug - still an issue
Paused episode restarting at beginning afterwards - still happening
Local Folder items not playing - appears to be solved
Smart Mark - still not working.
FROM BETA1
Android 16 Samsung UI 8.5 (Yes - after 5 years I finally got a new phone!)
Other than the widget issue already posted, I have noticed the following issues:
-
When I pause listening to an episode and go to another, the previous episode still shows with the beginning time of where I paused. However when I go back to restart it, it reverts to the beginning. It worked OK in the past.
-
Items in my local folders don’t play, instead when I hit play on an item in the local folder view, the current episode in my queue plays instead! I can play the episode in the local folder using Music Player.
-
“Smart Mark as played” not working - previous episode less than the time set still listed.
Natural to find such bugs especially after a rewrite of the playback service - but that’s what beta is for, so that the participants find the glitches before the new version goes prime-time!
I really really like what you did with what happens when a notification interrupts during listening! It’s great - hear the notification, then restart listening about a word or two before the interruption. Your choice of 800ms is perfect @bytemaster, THANKS!
Proud and happy to be helping by being a beta tester!
