NaviBeat Linux 1.0.68

What's new

• Play on an album picks up where you were. When the album has no saved place of its own, it now offers to continue from the last song you played in it (songs played from this version on). An album you finished starts again from track 1 without asking.
• Lyrics open on the current line. The lyrics panel now opens right where the song is, without scrolling up from the first verse.
• No more false "Server unreachable". Covers that are cancelled while you scroll fast no longer count as the server being away, so the library stays online.

What's new

• Casting to a speaker that is already playing. When a UPnP speaker is already playing your queue's song from your server, for example one another app started, casting to it now takes over where the speaker is instead of sending the song again, so it keeps playing without starting over. A paused speaker resumes from its own position.

What's new

• Favorite Artists on Home. A row of your starred artists sits right before Favorited, and it hides while it is empty.
• Home refreshes your favourites on every visit, so a heart set on another device shows up when you come back to Home.
• Hearts in Offline Mode are kept. A heart you set while the server is away is sent when it is back, and it already shows in your favourites lists.
• Readable song lists on Filled pages. On a cover that is bright at the top and dark at the bottom, the list behind the tracks gets a stronger veil so artist names and durations stay readable.
• The last rows clear the player bar on Home, Listening Stats, Downloads, the downloaded collections and record label pages.
• Correct Song shows the current values. Each field has its name on the left and the song's current value as the hint.

• Library statistics by decade and genre. Albums per decade, songs in your top genres, and the share of the library you have played.
• Song Path to Here. From any song, build a path that ends on it and starts from the song that is playing. Set the number of stops in Settings.
• Artist counts are shortcuts. The song count opens All Songs, the album count jumps to the albums.
• Similar artists you don't own. The server's similar artists include names missing from your library, shown dimmed.
• Songs > Play plays the whole library. It starts with the loaded rows and adds the rest page by page.
• Smoother crossfade. The outgoing song always fades out before its file ends.
• Exact seeking in Ogg files. Seeking in an Ogg Vorbis file played as is lands where you click.
• Home network behind split DNS. One server address that resolves to a private address at home counts as home.
• Downloads keep small lossy files as they are. A lossy file at or below the download quality is saved without converting.

• Quality lists in order. Every stream and download quality picker lists Opus, then AAC, then MP3, each from highest to lowest.
• Continue keeps the shuffle. Continue on a playlist you left shuffled picks up on the same song and keeps shuffling.

• Your settings stay set. Open Now Playing when you press play, Hide NaviBeat Mixes in Playlists and the synced swipe-cover setting keep their value after you restart NaviBeat (issue #40).
• Song Path goes further. A Song Path can now have up to 20 stops.
• " - EP" is dimmed. A title that ends in " - EP" shows that part dimmed, like " - Single".
• A menu for radio in the mini player. While a station plays, the mini player has a ... menu with Pin Window On Top and Open Station Website.
• Crossfade inside an album. With Gapless playback off, crossfade also runs between songs of the same album.

• Composers reads your whole library. The Composers list now reads every artist on the server page by page, 500 at a time, instead of stopping at the first 5000. On a large library, composers past that point now appear.

• Radio stations given as playlists open. An internet radio station saved as a .pls or .m3u address plays its stream.
• Smooth shuffle. An optional setting in Settings. Shuffle picks each next song by genre, year, tempo and loudness, and avoids the same artist twice in a row when it can. It is active after Library Sync finishes its first sync.
• Show Artist lists every credited artist. In the player menus, a song with several credited artists shows them in a submenu.
• Two voices, one steady view. When two voices sing at once, synced lyrics keep the earlier line in view.
• Back to the start plays from the start. Seeking back to 0:00 in a resumed stream plays the song from its beginning.
• The Now Playing bar grows with the text size. The title and credit lines keep their margin at larger sizes.

• An artist follows your library selection. With a library selection set, an artist's albums, All Songs and Play on an artist show only the libraries you selected, so a record kept in two libraries appears once.
• Instant Mix and Artist Radio keep octo-fiesta songs. Under a library selection, songs that come from octo-fiesta stay in the mix instead of being filtered out with the rest of the outside catalogue.
• Library Doctor works with a client certificate. If your server asks for a client certificate, Library Doctor now presents it, the same as the rest of the app.

• Add New Server. Settings has an Add New Server button beside Add Account on This Server, and the server switcher at the bottom of the sidebar, which appears once you have two saved servers, has the same entry. It asks for a server URL, a username and a password. The server you are connected to is saved first, so the way back is one row in your saved servers list.
• Switching checks the server you are switching to. Choosing a saved server now tests that server's own address before anything changes, so a switch either lands on the server you picked or leaves your current session as it was.
