Edit: The $0.99 sale is now over. Thanks to anyone who purchased it!
Hey all. I've been working on my music player like over the last 7 months and have finally finished the next major update. To celebrate I am also putting it on sale for $0.99 through March 2nd.
I started GMMP back in the gingerbread days so the UI and a lot of the code was out of date so I spent a good chunk of time switching over to fragments and refactoring the codebase. I ended up making the decision to drop support for below 2.3 (I was supporting back to 1.6 and it was a huge pain). The feature list is massive so I wont list them all here. The play store link has an almost full list of all the capabilities.

Its not a feature i ever use so I just have the stock headphones that came with my s3. But its probably better to find a headset with more than just the single button because I'm fairly certain Google Now ends up stealing priority over any long press of the single button (the feature was written ages ago before google now so there are no issues on devices without google now). If the headset had 3 buttons (play/pause, next, prev), the double click long press to next/previous should not get intercepted

yeah I figured as much for google now so I deleted it. Might be a good idea to add that info in a popup when trying to change the setting. Solves some frustration for the unsavy\unknowing lol.
the next is double click. it doesnt do anything indeed. The thriple click longpress also doesnt on stock lg g2 headphones (triple button, volume up, next\pause and volume down).
Considering the value added functionality, maybe you can ask users to give feedback and add a compatability chart of headsets with which this functionality works. You would be the first Not sure if I saw a message saying changing that may or may not work.
Must be good headphones with the s3.
I have the lg g2, the sound is way better with your app on aosp roms lol then appolo. without changing any settings. Which is freaking awesome!
thanks for the app and the sale.
Why gonemad name btw?

I try to notify the user as best i can for different incompatibilities but there are just so many (and many hard to predict which devices have it). The audio compatibility was originally put in years ago due to 1.6-2.2 devices not all containing the correct libraries to support some features. GMMP development started right when gingerbread came out so it supported back to 1.6. Almost all devices 2.3+ have the required libraries so the chart should show yes for basically everything
double / triple click definitely should work (there are a lot of users who depend on this and would cause a fit if I had broken it with an update). From testing experience if you click too fast the headset only sends a single click message to the phone.. so try clicking a little slower (i wanna say you have about 500 ms after the first click to click a second time for it to register as a double click)
the name gonemad was my online alias/handle for the last 15 years and i tended to use it when naming personal projects. GMMP just happened to be the only one i ever made public. There definitely was no naming conflicts / trademark issues with it and doing a google search on it doesnt really bring up too many unrelated results.. so i just went with it
cool. thanks! That explains Gonemad, cool name then.
I tried slower in different gradations, I will need to try better.
Love the customizations and it works straight out the box.
Might be nice to make it the default app for music. I also tried on stock, but all including bluetooth starting music triggers stock app. Havent figured it out yet.

thats the stock app stealing focus.. assuming you still have the GMMP music service running, it registers as the sole receiver of media intents (bluetooth commands). LG most likely overrides that to send commands to their player first. You might have to disable/freeze the stock player to allow GMMP to receive the commands

GMMP has basically all of the features of poweramp plus a few others (smart playlists being the big one) and tons more customization (although poweramp does have gmmp beat when it comes to widget customization)
Playback Settings
Hi,
I changed from Power AMP to GMP. Thanks for your work.
I have got one question for the following scenario:
For Example : I am playing the last song of the album "1" of artist "A". After finishing it I want the player to automatically start playing album "2" of Artist "A". After playing the last song of the last album of artist "A" I want the player automatically start playing album "1" of artist "B" and so on.
I do not want to creat a playlist or something similar.
Is this possible and if how? I searched but can not find.
Thanks for the answer.
I use the GoneMAD music player (GMMP)....
If I enable splitscreen on my Joying PX5 FYT Android 8.0 with GMMP and Sygic or navigon, only the focused app is refreshing his display output. hope you understand?
is sygic active, so the GoneMAD Player is frozen.... is the player active, so the sygic display is frozen... is this a GMMP fault?

oke thanks for the report. Can u send me a pm? Ill send you a debug version soob and we can figure out why it wont work.. Tried to reinstall? Or restart the phone? Sometimes the streaming on wp7 is buggy, i have an omnia 7 as well and sometimes it has trouble to connect. Plus the service which im tapping into was updating its servers today so please keep trying n let me know.
well have flashed my omnia 7 cause had t-mobile germany branding. Have Pre-Update (7008) now and it does not work, too.
tried to restart and the same.
This app would be very usefull for me, if it works

just checked. Works flawless omnia 7 on tmobile holland. Maybe in germany some sites are blocked? Please send a pm and we will check a debug version. Can you stream other stuff? Which song are u trying? Do you get a cant get stream error? If you dont get this error there is a streaming issue with the device and not the app. If you get the cant get stream error, there could be a different issue.
Use on my HD7, it's look better than old but something doesn't work all all.
My Suggestion.
- Fast forward is not working.
- Can't search by using Artist name.
(with old release, I can search using artist name like "Benny Benassi" , "David Guetta")
- Should has a dedicate application volume control.
- Should has a connection status, sometime I little confuse after tapping my song and wait for a connection that I already have press to play or not.
Keep up the good work, Thank you.

Fastforward does work, just drag the progresslider.
I agree with your suggestions, ill implement a progressbar as soon as possible.
im experiencing some problems today. The guys where updating the servers so thats why search was working improperly. You can also use an astrix so search for david*guetta
FIXED FOR THE NEXT RELEASE:
- space becomes astrix in search. So better search results.
- playlist will be updated and saved in the isolated storage after deleting items
- some small incosistencies

Great! Thanks for sharing such great app
first of all: your app works perfectly
problem here is only: i only have nice speeds for streaming at home (wifi) or in some areas outside...
It still downloads every music file i play everytime i click on it...thought it works offline?
One thing: Is it possible to make the files save to a directory where zune music on the phone can access it, too?

Haha no downloading to the zune folder thats not possible, and very piracy.
Well it does exactly what you say, and it downloads and streams at the same time. If the downloading text goes away the file that was downloading is now stored in your isolated storage. Now you are able to click a different file and download that one, if you click on the previous song it ill start playing instantly.
The reason why I implemented it this way is because of performance and because there is no direct way to capture a streaming file. So it has to be done separately and at the same time most people want to preview or instantly play the song before downloading so that is why it will begin streaming and than downloads whatever song is streaming one by one.
Dont worry, I thought a lot about the implementation, this worked best for me its not the most logical way, but thats due to the lack of mediaelement API's and not b/c of me
All data should be downloaded before it can be saved, if the file is fully downloaded the downloading text will disappear. There is no other way to implement streaming and downloading at the same time... however I can add a separate progressbar which will indicate the percentage downloaded. I might do that for the next release
For me the most use of the program comes by being able to listen to a song you dont have on the phone but u want to listen to right now. So its not really about piracy (at least for me).
As some might have a dataplan an option with ([on] streaming | [off] downloading) and ([off] streaming] | [on] downloading) would be cool
Yes that could be possible...
However I doubt it's really a must.
I'm still thinking about a way to improve the downloading. Maybe some kind of tap and hold and than click download or something.
I will add a progressbar underneath the file that is downloading anyway I think so at least the user can see which song is downloading and the progress.
Hi Marvin,
This is a great app. Very nice and fast. A few things I would like to see.
1. Be able to create multiple play lists.
2. Be able to delete individual files from play List.
3. Be able to move a song up/down in the play list.
4. Be able to move files to different play lists.
5. Option to download later, like a queue.
Thanks

2. Is already possible. Same as in mailbox
3. I planned on doing this indeed, but its kind of annoying to implement since i could only do move current playing song up or down, bc if you select a song iylt will start playing.
5. Sounds good but can u explain what u mean? Like download only when tap and hold? This work method is kind of againt the app of having the entire playlist stored on the phone. And does this option disable streaming as well? Because if you stream why not download as well ur using data anyway. Or is the streaming too slow because its downloading as well?
Multiple playlists is a bit of a problem because it will download the songs and eats storagre fast. However i could do something that it will release all resources if the playlist is unloaded, the down effect is no more songs are stored when going back to a different playlist.
Again the suggestions are good however please come up with a way to implement or think about implementation, 30 songs is 90 mb which is isolated storage maximum, having 6 playlists of 5 songs in other words.... Kind of a problem

Since the app has hit the marketplace there is no need for the development thread anymore... so the development thread has been removed.
Please report any further suggestions here and provide feedback/rate or comment so I can keep improving the experience. Thanks a lot.

Hey everyone
Just wanted to post a reference link to my Mizuu Movies application thread, which is found under the Android Apps / Games section: Mizuu Movies - XDA thread
The application has been developed for Honeycomb on the Acer Iconia A500, and should support all Honeycomb tablets. There's a free and a paid version of the application - would really appreciate it if you'd try it out!
FREE VERSION • PAID VERSION
Thanks a lot!

Yes, since Android doesn't support .avi files natively, I have not yet made it possible to use those files. But when I do, they will only be playable if you're using a custom video player as your default player.
This looks great! I've been waiting for an app like this, until now I've just been using a file manager app to pull up my movies. I definitely prefer this XBMC-like interface. I'll give the app a whirl when I get off work.
One request though, which would keep my from purchasing. I'd prefer the option to play the videos through an external video player. I know a lot of users already have their preference of video player (Rock player, mobo player, etc), but this could be a great interface to that. Most of my videos are divx or not natively supported by honeycomb, so this app wouldn't work for me as is. This would also let you focus more on the interface/theming and less on the codec support.
Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm sure this app will only improve, looking through your other thread in the developers forum it looks like you're very quick on the updates. I'll reply with more specific criticisms after I try it tonight.

Hey, thanks for your comments!
The app already uses your default video player, so if you've set a third party player as your default player, that's what it'll use
Great work!
First let me say thanks for this beautifull work, we need these kind of applications.
Well, I have tried the free version in the market, it shows the screen with the boton to scan, as soon as I click it, the application dieds
If you need something from me to reproduce the error, please let me know, I will gladly cooperate in this project

Hey!
First of all - please update to v.1.3.1
Secondly, is it possible that none of your files are in one of these formats?
".3gp", ".3gpp", ".mp4", ".ts", ".webm"
These are the formats that are supported by Android by default - if you want more formats, you'll have to enable it in the application settings, which isn't available untill you've completed the initial search.
If you can, please try renaming one of your 100+ MB files to one of the above mentioned extensions temporarily. Then search with Mizuu Movies, enter the Settings and check "Include non-supported file types". Once that's done, you can change the extension back to whatever it was before and do an update in Mizuu Movies
Fixed!

The app_id for the chromecast receiver is going to be Pandora_App. Can't be used until Google/Pandora push the receiver app to the Chromecast repository. You could theoretically run it on an emulator but it's impossible to determine what the proper URL is for the app.
Along with the other new of mentions of Pandora on a non-live Chromecast page (don't remember the details), I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes official along with Kit Kat and the Nexus 5. Supposedly as early as tomorrow (10/31).
That would be a nice treat
Pandora is working.
Can't wait to test

Since we can't use Pandora in Canada without jumping through some hoops, I'm really hoping that Rdio follows suit.

Yep, should be working for everyone (if it's not working you only need to reboot the chromecast).

Anyone who could post the apk ? Its "not compatible" with HTC one, but i'd like to try that out for myself

What is weird about Pandora's Chromecast support is when you switch your source in the app (Chromecast to phone for instance) it doesn't sync up and starts playing a different song. That is really the only annoying thing about the app that I've noticed so far.

It also does not allow you to control from multiple devices without interrupting the music. I really wish they implemented this like Netflix app in that you can seamlessly move between devices (phone, tablet, etc)... Even more shocked Google didn't do it right (Netflix way) with Google Music...

I think he can't see Pandora app in play store because he's outside US. So, he's asking someone to share the Pandora. Apr file. But I don't think it would work, unless he uses a vpn
I update the pandora app on my nexus 7 and my motorola droid razr maxx. I see the cast button on the nexus 7 but not on the droid. Is it in a different place for the phone app or shouldn't it be in the upper right hand corner?
I'm not horribly keen on the Pandora app at the moment I watched it play through a couple of songs and there's areas that are 100% static. This means for TV's that have risk of stuck pixels you can't use the app for long periods of time without risking leaving images stuck on your screen.
Pandora needs to add a dynamic screen similar to the one used by Google Music for the stuck pixels to not be a risk.
I have noticed if I'm listening to a song on my phone I can cast it to my Chromecast without it changing. However if I disconnect the song is forced into a change. So there is that lack of a clean switch going from casting to not casting. I only hope that any forced changes by a disconnect isn't consider a "skip" and count against that number.

Since the Pandora update, I set my TV screen to black to avoid that. It just made sense cuz Pandora has always been a static image. Even on my laptop, I'm surfing the web and never leave my display on Pandora. Plus, the UI is ugly.

My tv doesn't have an option to go black, maybe turning down the brightness and contrast all the way or something.
strange I'm only noticing ads while connected to chromecast and casting to my TV (ad pops up on the tv screen once in a while and I can't skip songs as much as I want). If I disconnect and just skip songs on my nexus tablet I get no ads or limited skips. Anyone else notice? Don't know how this could have anything to do with Chromecast
simultaneously chromecasting pandora ?
is it a possibility to simultaneously chromecast the same pandora app throughout the house..?

As in to multiple TVs?
Since each Chromecast is independent (think micro computer accessing Pandora), even if you managed to get the Pandora playlist point the same on all Chromecasts, they'd still all be receiving a separate and individual data stream, so sync would not be 100%. You'd probably get weird echo/reverb effects if you can hear more than one player's audio.
It's like if you and your friend both brought up the same YouTube video on two phone/tablets. Even if you both hit play at exactly the same time (and didn't get interrupted with an ad), each phone/tablet is getting a separate on-demand video "feed" and decoding it. Your playback would likely be close in time with identical hardware, but still no guarantee.
The proper way to do multi-location playback is via multicast streaming, which is more like an over-the-air TV broadcast. The "feed" is broadcast, and any number of receivers can "tune into it" and they'll get whatever is being broadcast at that time.
But I don't think Pandora can do that...
So back to your original goal, the easiest way would be to use an HDMI distribution device or splitter (be mindful of HDCP compliance, not sure Chromecast requires it, but it probably does) so the same signal is going to your multiple locations in the house.
You could put a Chromecast on each TV and switch cast destinations (I do this with YouTube sometimes), but that will give you breaks between moves as things reconnect. Don't forget to turn off the TV when you leave.
I can't seem to do the 'okay Google Now play *track name*' anyone of you can successfully do it? Thanks in advance

I can get it to play a song, but it's hit or miss most of the time. Sometimes I say play the song title only and it works, other times I say the artist and song title and it works. Other times in both scenarios it responds incorrectly taking me to the web, or sates it can't start the "instant mix". It's all over the place really, a crap shoot. I'm on 4.4.
Same here. The ghost in the machine has a temper.

Mine won't play music either.....which is the only use I'd have for touchless control. Now touchless control is frozen. No other use for it. Personally.
Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone.....
Mine actually seems to work pretty well most of the time. Maybe the fact that all of my music is uploaded on Google play music helps out?
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
I could never get it to play what I wanted. So I just made an app via Tasker app factory that will just play whatever I had playing last. I just tell it to "Open App, 'Start Music'" and it will. Not perfect but better than the randomness of what they were doing.
All it ever does on my Dev edition is search the Web, darn it

I made a tasker app to solve this.
I made it how I want it to work anyway.
Install the app. It will be called "Shuffle".
Do your ok Google now or whatever you say to open touchless control.
Say "open shuffle"
The app will be opened. It opens Google music, starts playing music on shuffle mode. Then goes back to your home screen. Then I use Bluetooth to control it...like next track and whatever. Or you can drag down the status bar and control it that way.
Works great for me! Thought I'd share it with those interested.
Of course you don't need tasker, cause it's an app now. But you do need root and have to grant it root permission. Don't know why....tasker just makes it that way it seems.
Enjoy.

Nope...never works for me. Or some others it seems. The tasker app is simple...say "open shuffle". Done, you're music is shuffling.
Obviously it doesn't help if you want to listen to something in particular. But in the car I use shuffle...and hit next on my Bluetooth if I want to skip a song.
That's just me. And that's how the app was made. Just thought I'd share it.

A big thank you to all those who voted for GMote! Now that the competition is over and I'm not limited by time, I can properly start developing GMote. Expect some big updates in the upcoming weeks
What's GMote you ask? To put it simply, it's way to use any Android smartphone as a media remote for your GPad (Android to Android).
Meaning you can sit back, relax, connect your GPad to your TV and control media playback from the comfort of your couch.
The sourcecode for both apps will be released in the coming days.
Playstore Links
GMote
GPlayer
Description
GMote is not a standalone application, there's actually 2 of them (confusing I know). Anyway, ones for your phone and the other is the companion app for your GPad. A video player for the tablet which will support a wide range of formats. Going on, a remote for the phone with which you could Play, Pause, Volume Control, Scrubbing.
Also, this isn't just a onetime gimmick, it's something that comes in handy when you have a movie on your GPad and you want to watch it on a big screen with your friends and you don't want to turn on your laptop just to transfer it to a USB. I tried to be punny. So if you're a media lover, someone who love to watch movies (emoticon) and tv shows, this project might just be for you.
Interface
With the control app for the Android smartphone, I plan to make to boutiful. You know, eye candy. With the new Material Design and shiny effects *_*. Screenshots have been added, click on the screenshot tab above, note that the design is far from complete.

F.A.Q
Q. How to use GMote?
Firstly you must install QPair from the PlayStore. Next install the Phone apk on your Android phone and the Tablet apk on your LG GPad 8.3. Then either pick a video or enter a link and control the playback from your phone.
Q. How does it work?
This project uses the latest LG QPair SDK, if you'd like to know more about it, click here.
Q. Why is GMote not working for me?
Try updating to the newest versions of both GMote on your phone and GPlayer on your tablet. If you have done so already and its still not working, tag me in a post in this thread and I'll be sure to help you out.
Q. Why is it crashing all the time?
There are 2 possible explanations. Firstly your device simply isn't supported, leave details about the crash in the thread and I'll get back to you. Secondly, it could crash because you installed GMote and installed QPair later. To fix this, uninstall GMote and install it again. This is due to bug where the permission for using QPair isn't registered if the QPair app is installed later on.
More coming...
After long, never ending hours of work. The first stable release is up! A lot had been changed (namely, the layout) and lots of cool / useful features have been added., take a look at the Changelog in second post. Also, for those of you who do try this out, please be sure to leave some feedback.
App links for the PlayStore and the SmartWorld will be up in a few hours!
Also, in this competition from 20-27th of December, you can vote for your favorite app. So if you like GMote, don't forget to vote!
Thank you!
Congrats you're a winner too. To improve your app, I'd suggest combining both of them into one package and run the appropriate tasks depending if you notice it's a phone or a tablet

It's all good. I'm sure your app is pretty awesome, I imagine that's why you were picked to be a winner. I just figured with all the publicity you'll be getting now, the name just won't work since there is another app that goes by the same name which has been around since the Gingerbread days if not earlier.
