Unable to read artist name #50
Comments
I'll need more information.
If you provide me with some extra context I'll be able to discern the problem, it might already be fixed in the development version. |
Not sure if I provide enough information. Ask for more if I could provide. Thanks! |
Oh, its actually formatted as What other android music players are you not getting the issue? I know that VLC and Vanilla music parse audio tags themselves, and so if those work but other players like Phonograph don't, then it's yet another instance of an OEM crippling the Media APIs and there's nothing I can do about it.
You could upload one of your music files to Google Drive [or something else] and then link it. Preferably something that's non-copyrighted to be safe, but that's optional. |
Sorry for the delay (not here very often)
That's right.
Music Player Go doesn't have this issue for me. I'm not sure about others I got one over here. NCS should be safe: Thanks! |
Looks like my device reads it just fine. This seems like a |
I just considered that it might be the way that I was indexing artists in 1.4.2. 1.4.2 reads artist names from the album database. MPGO reads artist names from the song database. Your device's If it's possible, can you test if the latest version [2.0.0 or 2.0.1] fixes your issue? Thanks. |
I tested the latest version 2.0.1 but it's the same Maybe my Android version is a bit old(?) (I used my Android 9 phone for testing) |
This truly is the most inexplicable issue I've ever seen. MPGO does more or less the exact same thing that my app does, yet it does not have this issue. Can you provide an example of what Music Player GO shows for the artist name? I can possibly trace the issue back to something more specific. As for your theory about the old android version, the APIs for indexing music have more or less remained unchanged since 2011 (to the detriment of every music player), so version doesn't really matter here. It's more-so OEMs crippling the music APIs either due to stupidity or to railroad users into their music app that relies on private extensions to the OS instead. |
Yeah sure! I see. Then it's a really wierd issue... and seems like only I encounter this so far Btw, my phone is HTC Desire 19+, not one that has many users I guess. Not sure if it helps |
I think I've found a possible discrepancy between MPGO's implementation and mine. In technical terms, they used the applications content resolver while I used the content resolver of a local context. Other than that, the only differences I found were in their wording of Perhaps try this APK? |
Hi there! I don't know how to install from the zip file (after some research). Can't thank you enough for this! Sorry for my delayed response |
That's great! And yes, this does mean that the issue I mentioned above was the cause of this issue. Thanks for holding out for so long. |
As described in the title, somehow Auxio couldn't read the artist of the songs on my phones.
