Tempo (fork) v3.17.14 android subsonic client (github.com)

Hi All,

my first post over here on lemmy. Thought I'd share my forked tempo release.

Some new fixes for October. v3.17.14

What's Changed

fix: General build warning and playback issues 
fix: persist album sort preference 
Fix album parse empty date field 
fix: Include shuffle/repeat controls in f-droid build's media notific… 
fix: limits image size to prevent widget crash

note app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-notquitemy* <- The f-droid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/eddyizm/tempo/compare/v3.17.0...v3.17.14

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

In particular, any android dev is familiar with changing the name/icon in order get this app published in app stores.

Didn't get to contributing to Tempus yet, but since I use it & like the layout approach, I forked Feishin and made it more Tempus-like. Decades, starred albums and tracks sections etc. Have a look if you like it. Linux only since it's my primary driver.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

feishin is really nice. I use my regular back end (LMS) when not using the app though. Not quite as pretty but very solid.

[–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm a Tempo user, and I love it.

If I'm understanding correctly, you are simply carrying on the dev work from Antonio Cappiello?

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Hi non_burgler, I am also a tempo user, it was my daily driver for sure.

Yes, I kept going back to check for updates and got into a issue thread someone else starred to get a status update. I have been through a few apps like all of us have and thought it a shame to see this die.

Tried to get access to the repo but the last update was December 2024, so I forked it and started by merging in good looking prs that were pending.

That was a few months ago now and we've been making forward progress since.

I hope to figure out how to update the logo and change the name a bit to get it into app stores again but the graphic stuff is a challenge for me lol.

The base is 3.9, my releases/changes start with 3.10+

[–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Whoah, good initiative!

If you're looking for any help, I'm willing.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I am, in particular in switching over to a rename/rebrand. That stuff is challenging for me. here';s the discussion https://github.com/eddyizm/tempo/discussions/111

[–] uninvitedguest@piefed.ca 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thank you for doing this. I had not clued in that tempo had stopped development.

When you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.

Lmao I hadn't even noticed, but yes, definitely that.

[–] spacelord@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Great idea to fork it, and continue development! 😃

I actually forked it myself the other day because there were a few things that were bothering me. My intention was to do it for personal use, not for the general public.

One issue is that I constantly have to turn on the repeat playlist setting, as it doesn’t stay enabled after quitting the app.

If I get it working when I get to it, I'd be willing to contribute if this is a feature that interests you.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

yeah, open a PR and I'd check it out for sure. The playlist functionality needs a lot of love.

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yo! I've been keeping up with this!! Awesome to see you here and seeing tempo get some love!

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Yeah I'm not sure why I waited so long to join lemmy.

[–] jake@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for all your work on this fork! I use Tempo every day and I'm so glad there's development continuing. Do you already have a new name for the project in mind?

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks, yes, I am leaning towards Tempus which is roughly latin for tempo and similar - logo is has some candidates -> https://github.com/eddyizm/tempo/discussions/111

[–] No_Bark@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hell yeah I love Tempo and its great to see it getting updates again. Thanks for your work on this!

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

same here, i didn't want to see it die!

[–] ki9@lemmy.gf4.pw 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I use tempo and love it! It's the only client that doesnt choke on my big library.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sweet, how big is your library? It does seem large libraries are a challenge all around.

[–] ki9@lemmy.gf4.pw 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

14040 songs. I think more than half is Grateful Dead.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

lol - that is a healthy size

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How's Android auto support? On my app it's broken.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not perfect but it's working. What app are you using?

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Says Tempo 3.8.1

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's an old version from last year. If you get the latest from github you should have android support, given the caveat that you have to make the adjustments for an unknown app (check out the docs)

The other thing that might hang you up is if you use graphene OS. The degoogled version lacks auto support.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just tested yours and it works fine ♥️ Many thanks

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Fantastic! I just added the heart/like feature there as well and wasn't sure if showed up on android auto.

Need to figure out how to get a test environment for that.

[–] Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@eddyizm @flightyhobler A lot of us are just using Tempo out of f-droid (which has been stuck at 3.8.x), and would love to have a fork or update available in f-droid. Alternatively, an external f-droid repo.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Hi @Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it I unfortunately don't have access to that repo so I can't update it there (fdroid) - I have had a chat with the izzyDroid dev and he gave me some tips on what I need to do to get it into his repo and thus fdroid - I am working towards it but I could use some help because I'm figuring this java android app stuff as I go. But I will post here when I do, it will be a new name and a new icon, same app. ;-)

[–] RedBauble@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is forward auth from reverse proxy supported in this fork? It isn't mentioned in the README, so I assume it is not

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm not sure. I know a few people who run their servers behind a reverse proxy. I don't think the app cares as long as the response is correct and endpoints exposed properly.

I know there is a PR for basic auth that I have not yet rolled in because I need to test it but perhaps you can test this out and let me know?

[–] RedBauble@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure, I'll be happy to help

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Try it, I'd be curious to see what happens? The release before has a debug version if you want to grab the logs.

[–] m33@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait, subsonic is still a thing ? wow.

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I don't think it every died. the api is supported across many projects and has been forked to openap
