RuneAudio Remote Control for Android

Lurk

Hi Guys

I have a problem with the footer - Library Playback Queue -

It now seems to be not fixed to the bottom of the screen and I have to scroll to access it - I'm sure this wasn't the behaviour before.

It works fine in my browser, the footer is fixed to the bottom of the window, it is just the android app (8' screen set to horizontal aspect)

PS Thanks for RuneAudio, I very much appreciate the work and am enjoying it immensely

edit - just realised it applies to the header as well - I sometimes need to do a lot of scrolling to get either the header or the footer - they should both be on the screen full-time like the browser version

I have the same issue with my 8' screen tablet, but I have no issue with my 10' tablet.

rocklander wrotehas anybody tried to install this on android wear?
I'm considering getting a finow x1 smartwatch to manage the music between sets (already using my phone to remote control a camera) for my covers band.
it'd be great to know if it works okay on the droid smartwatches before I invest in one.. anyone?

also - is there any chance the droid app is likely to support split screen 'pop up' in the near future?

I just received an update to the app on my phone and it fixed the problem with all the scrolling.

App version is now 1.1.4

Thanks!

Hi,

I started with RPi3 couple of weeks back and tried RuneAudio (after struggling with others or not liking few), and immediately loved RuneAudio. Excellent UI and app too. I have couple of queries - does the app handle IP change for Rune and can it handle multiple Rune on network?

Issue:
I connect app with pi (ethernet connection) running Rune - all works fine. I switch on Wifi and take out Ethernet, new IP address appears for the pi. When i open the android app again, it shows blank screen and a wierd android logo on left hand top corner. Nothing else is visible, no settings, nothing.
I found a workaround - I cleared the cache and data of app and I opened it again. Then it is able to recognize the Pi with Wifi's address on it over network. Same issue if I switch back to ethernet (or for IP address changes). I have static IP now for my Pi, hence not sure if this issue is because of ethernet to wifi switch or IPaddress change in general.

Thanks for the great work. I wish to contribute in some way soon.

Hi,

not sure if this issue is because of ethernet to wifi switch or IPaddress change in general.

It is related to AVAHI and the subject that it takes some time until AVAHI recognizes the address change.

Thanks Frank for the link, let me try that.

Meanwhile, please allow me share couple of observations about android app:
1. Phone back button exits the app. I personally would love the app back button and phone back button do same things, Go to previous page. Two back clicks from home can exit the app. On related note - may be same with back button of laptop when using web interface (Some people just use more keyboard than mouse). I guess this is by design.
2. Say I go from USB to big list of Albums, scroll to K and enter an album and do something. Then, the back button takes me right at top to A and I have to scroll again all way through to search next album. Web http interface stays on K for this.

Thanks for the very handy RuneAudio remote control for Android. It has been working great for me. One feature I found only recently was an persistent entry in the Android Notification area dropdown that I could use to control the player without having to bring the Rune controller onto the screen. Recently, I touched a little arrow in the bottom right of the Rune notification area entry and now I no longer have that entry in the Notification dropdown and I can't get it back. I can't figure out if I have an Android issue or a Rune Controller issue. Can anyone help?

Is it provide dollby surround sound?

Hi Bigoutreach,

why not Dolby Atmos?

What has this question to do with an Remote Control App?

When I start app, it start updating library from the beginning. Does it possible that system get last saved library automatically and update it whenever I required?

This issue isn't related with the Android app. Take a look at this thread and see if it can help you.

This isn't implemented yet, maybe in the future.

How does the remote discover players in the network? As in, what is it searching for exactly?

I'm playing around with Java trying to make a player manager of sorts, and I was trying to find a way to search the network for players and I'm at a loss. I was searching for IP addresses that were listening on port 6600 (the one set for the music daemon)

Hi ,

welcome to Rune Audio.

Reading the docs helps in most cases.

The app uses the avahi protocol to scan the local network. It detects the connected RuneAudio players which expose the avahi service and lists them, showing also their IP and MAC addresses.

Silly me... Thank you, Frank. I'll look into the avahi protocol then.
I only recently found out about RuneAudio and other interesting projects for rasperries and decided to buy a Raspberry Pi 3 to have some fun :lol:

I have a small problem when moving tracks in queue list. When I long press a title and move to another position it goes back to old position. Does anyone have the same issue?

Hello,

I have just installed RuneAudio 0.4 on two devices (PI2 and PI3) and I am trying to control them with the Adndroid app.
It works for my first installed device (PI3 named Garage) but the Remote Control does not see my second device (named Salon).
They are both present on the network:

$ avahi-browse -d local -a
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 runeaudio #2                                  Music Player Daemon  local
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 runeaudio                                     Music Player Daemon  local
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 SALON                                         Microsoft Windows Network local
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 GARAGE                                        Microsoft Windows Network local
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 nas                                           Microsoft Windows Network local
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 RuneAudio [Salon] [b8:27:eb:94:58:d1]         Web Site             local
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 RuneAudio [Garage] [b8:27:eb:ef:64:31]        Web Site             local
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 nas                                           Web Site             local
+ wlp12s0 IPv4 nas [ac:f1:df:01:bd:dc]                       Workstation          local

They both have a correct /etc/avahi/services/runeaudio.service file:

For the PI2 which is not seen py the Remote Control App:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">RuneAudio [Salon] [b8:27:eb:94:58:d1]</name>
  <service>
    <type>_http._tcp</type>
    <port>80</port>
    <txt-record>skin_name=RuneUI</txt-record>
    <txt-record>runeos_version=0.3-beta</txt-record>
    <txt-record>mac_eth0=[b8:27:eb:47:87:e6]</txt-record>
  </service>
</service-group>

For the PI3:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">RuneAudio [Garage] [b8:27:eb:ef:64:31]</name>
  <service>
    <type>_http._tcp</type>
    <port>80</port>
    <txt-record>skin_name=RuneUI</txt-record>
    <txt-record>runeos_version=0.3-beta</txt-record>
    <txt-record>mac_eth0=[b8:27:eb:47:87:e6]</txt-record>
  </service>
</service-group>

Salon is on the ethernet network, Garage is on the Wifi network (but was first setup thru ethernet).

But I notice that they both have the same mac_eth0 record, is this normal?
How can I force a rescan of the network on the Android device (a OnePlusX phone running Android 6.0.1)

Thank you for your help.

Edit:
I deleted the app and re-installed it, it scanned my network and discovered the two players BUT ...
But I can not change the player I selected! Even if I quit the app it does not ask me which player I want to connect to.

On your phone, you have to swipe from left to right to reveal the player selection screen.
