Spotilol - v1.1.7

Spotilol - v1.1.7 (10.01.2026)

v1.1.7 Changelog

added

• discord server: "Discord Server" button in about (settings) and a badge in the readme - https://discord.gg/95dAE2UkqP

changed

• faster cold start: webview HTTP cache kept between launches (#97)
• no more double-fetching every request in normal mode (#97)
• early injections now run as a document-start script (#97)
• snappier splash, fixed delays removed (#97)

fixed

• playback no longer pauses on its own after leaving the app (screen off / background)
• downloading the current song no longer grabs a different track (fixes #91)
• more stable background pause/resume from the service

---

NOTE - this is a hotfix: it fixes some of the reported bugs (background pauses, wrong-song downloads) plus a startup cleanup, but it does not guarantee anything yet, so some things may still be rough. if something is off, report it right away - the new discord server is the fastest way to reach us. thanks for the constant feedback, keep it coming!

Spotilol - v1.1.6

Spotilol - v1.1.6 (09.26.2026)

v1.1.6 Changelog

added

• in-app logging system — one central logger with a single on/off switch (on by default in debug builds, off in release), logcat-style levels (verbose, debug, info, system, warn, error), a 2000 entry ring buffer and a logcat filter syntax (package:mine, level:w, tag:js, -word); every log in the app now goes through it — webview, bridge, services, downloads, proxy, offline, cipher, potoken and EJS
• webview console capture — JS console output, page loads, navigation, main frame errors, preference changes and every AndBridge call are logged with their level, source and line
• logger panel rebuilt as a logcat — level chips, live filter field, colour per level, tap a line to expand its stack trace, plus clear and copy, opened from the hidden EXPERIMENTAL section
• crash handler and crash screen — uncaught exceptions are caught before the process dies and open a compact Material 3 crash screen with the full report: thread, stack and cause chain, app, device, region and timezone, network, memory, storage, webview, session preferences and the whole log buffer, with a copy button and a restart button; a hidden Crash test tile throws a test exception on demand
• first run onboarding — a welcome step listing the permissions the app needs (notifications and nearby devices) and a second step to pick Normal Mode or Certificate Mode, each with a short description, smooth fade in/out and animated transitions between phases; it only runs once and the permission prompts were removed from MainActivity
• build id — a short deterministic per-build id (e.g. svqhsiomg5) shown next to the version in the splash, top bar, offline header, settings dialog and about section
• picture-in-picture video — PiP now shows the actual video instead of the cover art and keeps it when the screen rotates
• sort by date added in the playlist menu, and playlist columns also sort albums
• delete all button in the offline screen
• live download state in the download notification

changed

• app typeface switched from Saira to Raleway
• settings redesigned as a compact Material 3 dialog with tabs instead of the old full screen
• splash reworked: the progress bar is gone, the Spotilol title fades in and out in the middle and the version with its build id sits at the bottom
• all user facing text moved to strings.xml — no hardcoded strings left on screens, dialogs, toasts, notifications or layouts
• offline screen tightened up, and the back gesture now closes the keyboard before leaving the screen
• the old debug log store was dropped and the debug section was renamed to EXPERIMENTAL

fixed

• search overlay no longer stays hidden after the app comes back from the background
• picture-in-picture no longer falls back to the cover art, and no more black video in portrait
• bluetooth auto pause is reliable again
• crash screen colours follow the app theme, AMOLED, Material You and custom accent included

---

NOTE — if you find any bug, crash or something off, please report it right away so we can fix it fast. thanks everyone for the support, and we'll keep improvising.

Spotilol - v1.1.5

Spotilol - v1.1.5 (09.20.2026)

v1.1.5 Changelog

added

• MP3 downloads — new in-app encoder built on vendored libmp3lame and libopus 1.4 local modules, with in-process WebM demuxing and no external audio dependency
• DOWNLOADS section in Settings — Audio Format (m4a or mp3), Download Folder (any writable folder, SD card included) and configurable subfolder for the default scheme
• Write Tags and Cover Art toggle — title, artist, album and embedded cover art on every download
• folder history — the picked folder is remembered and write access survives restarts, and the offline library scans every folder you have picked
• Sort Playlists by Column — tap a playlist column header to sort alphabetically, switchable in Settings

changed

• third-party audio deps (jaudiotagger, jump3r, qiujuer lame) replaced by the local :lame/:opus modules and in-house MP3/M4A tag writers
• debug logging stripped across downloader, webview, cipher, potoken, EJS and proxy code, plus console log forwarding removed
• timber dependency dropped
• AGP 9.3.1 → 9.4.1
• unused resources removed (ic_settings, duplicate launcher foreground)

fixed

• play/pause state is now language independent — the player icon, the notification, the media session (lockscreen, Wear, Android Auto) and the autoplay/unlock checks no longer depend on English aria-labels, so accounts in other languages see and control the right state
• media metadata is kept when Android Auto controls are off — the notification no longer blanks the title, artist and cover art
• search overlay no longer closes instantly when the keyboard opens
• links shared from other apps no longer crash the sender app — android:autoVerify added to the link intent filter
• "Open by default" tile now has fallbacks when the system settings intent is unavailable
• quick menu icons match the offline mode state, and the service preference is no longer reset when toggling offline mode
• system bar icons are now light on Splash, Main and Offline screens
• redundant allowBackup tools:replace dropped

NOTE — if you find any bug, crash or something off, please report it right away so we can fix it fast. thanks everyone for the support, and we'll keep improvising.

Spotilol - v1.1.4

Spotilol - v1.1.4 (09.18.2026)

v1.1.4 Changelog

added

• Open by Default support — Spotilol now handles shared Spotify links (tracks, playlists, albums, spotify.link short links)
• service auto-starts when a link is opened with the service off — the link loads once the WebView is ready
• SPA navigation for links opened while the app is running — navigates without reloading so playback stays untouched (full redirect fallback when not possible)
• "Open Spotify Links" tile in Settings → jumps to the system Open by default screen to enable link handling

fixed

• link intent filter moved to MainActivity so shared links open the player instead of relaunching the splash screen
• cold-start links are now forwarded from Splash to Main — the target track/playlist no longer gets lost on first open
• link handling extended to spotify.com, www.spotify.com, play.spotify.com and spotify.link hosts
