A few feature suggestions

[srt54558]

Features

• Swiping the player bar at the bottom (when you're in the app and the player is minimized) to the side should play the last or next song
• Manual refresh of the homepage (when based on the last played song)
• Option to not add songs to the "Songs" page when played from a playlist
• Option to set the Start page (what page should be shown when the app gets opened)
• Being able to hide or order items in the side menu
• Chromecast mode (if not already asked or possible)
• Lokal songs as playlist or add local songs to existing playlists
• Sort by Newest added song first in playlists
• Fade-in and out for songs
• Change app language
• Showcase mode... this feature would allow the phone to be like a Smart home display. Set the phone to landscape and it shows the thumbnail left and synced lyrics right with only before, next and pause buttons. In black, so it saves battery

Bugs:

• On the home page, the lists have to be pulled hard to the sides. Maybe making it easier is better
• Not a bug, but the current material you look is a bit weird. The colors are so unpleasing and bright

Not every feature has to be implemented (in fact, none has) but it would be fantastic in my opinion! In either way, keep up the great work! Such a great app/fork!

Seems more like a discussion instead of issue :) then open issue for things in which dev is interested

Swiping the player bar at the bottom (when you're in the app and the player is minimized) to the side should play the last or next song

Won't implement this as this would override the swipe to close behavior that is already there.

Manual refresh of the homepage (when based on the last played song)

What do you mean? When you play another song there is no need to refresh manually, it happens automatically.

Option to not add songs to the "Songs" page when played from a playlist

You can already pause new songs being added to the Songs page in the settings. Therefore, I think this is unnecessary.

Option to set the Start page (what page should be shown when the app gets opened)

Why should we need this? The app already opens the last page it showed before the app got closed.

Being able to hide or order items in the side menu

Great suggestion, I'll consider this. I'm not entirely sure if this would fit in with ViTune's design system but I'll look into it.

Chromecast mode (if not already asked or possible)

This is already kind of implemented (you can use your devices output dropdown and select your TV), but there is no button to activate the casting from the app itself, so I think that could be added. There is one problem though: a 'real' cast receiver is not possible as Google requires an application procedure for that, so we probably won't be able to get the 'full experience' but oh well.

Lokal songs as playlist or add local songs to existing playlists

This is already possible.

Sort by Newest added song first in playlists

This breaks the idea of a playlist, please see #102

Fade-in and out for songs

Great suggestion, I'll take it into consideration.

Change app language

This is already possible. The current languages that ViTune supports are: English, German and Dutch. If you want your own language added to ViTune, open a pull request with your translations. I probably should setup a more user-friendly translation tool but this is currently not a priority for me.

Showcase mode... this feature would allow the phone to be like a Smart home display. Set the phone to landscape and it shows the thumbnail left and synced lyrics right with only before, next and pause buttons. In black, so it saves battery

I don't think this is very different from using the PureBlack theme in landscape mode? Please elaborate.

On the home page, the lists have to be pulled hard to the sides. Maybe making it easier is better

In my opinion it behaves right, but if you think this should be adjusted even more we can reopen #71.

Not a bug, but the current material you look is a bit weird. The colors are so unpleasing and bright

This entirely depends on your system's color palette. Can you provide an example of another Material You themed app versus ViTune?

Thank you for your appreciation. I hope you understand I'm not going to implement every single suggestion for the sake of simplicity and consistency. Thank you for your feedback though!

It does not refresh when I change the song; I have to reopen the app

No, I meant like... Only songs from a playlist shouldn't be added to the song history. When I play random songs or new songs from outside a existing local playlist, they should be added to history

Option to set the Start page (what page should be shown when the app gets opened)

Why should we need this? The app already opens the last page it showed before the app got closed.

I don't know, I always switch back to the "songs" page even tho I was in another one last session

Sort by Newest added song first in playlists

This breaks the idea of a playlist, please see #102

I saw that before, but I use Deezer and its kinda hard to scroll to the bottom every time, so I set the sorting to newest added first

Yes:

If this issue persists, please create a bug report, this should just work.

I don't know why we would want that, please elaborate.

This is not intentional, please create a bug report if this issue persists.

And about Material You: you provided an example of the player, which is intended to be brighter than the rest of the app. The rest of the colors pretty much match up with other Material You apps, Smartspacer for comparison:

I think what he might be suggesting is to lower the drag percentage. Cureently it needs to be dragged to aroung 50% for the options to move eother left or right which sometimes leads to missed swipes when swiped for only about 40%
