| Summary | 0013643: Provide more nodes via MediaBrowserServiceCompat (re. Android Auto) | ||||
| Description | Due to 0013319 was implemented MediaBrowserServiceCompat in PlaybackService to provide tracks from "Now Playing" accessible from Android wear. Same access has Android Auto app. It would be useful provide other library nodes like "Playlists", "Albums", "Tracks" and others. | ||||

Improved to build 1.3.0.650 Added "Playlists" and "Now playing" nodes |
|
|
I think that's more than sufficient. What's more important in a car environment is that MM integrates well with the Google voice commands that are exposed via Android Auto. |
|
|
If there is no tracks in tracklist and no playlist, then some node to initiate playback would be useful. I have added "Play all shuffle" action to this list. All Android music voice commands are supported by MMA. Fixed in build 1.3.0.660 |

Based on feedback at http://forum.mediamonkey.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=81866 along with features that are implemented on various other apps, we may want to implement the following improvements: 1) Support for browsing by additional Attributes. a) Genre > GenreName > All tracks Artist1 Artist2 ... b) Artist (=Artist and Album Artist) > ArtistName All tracks Album1 Album2 ... c) Album > AlbumName d) The order of the items should be: Play all (shuffle), Playlists, Genres, Artists, Albums, Now Playing e) Note that as per https://www.google.com/design/spec-auto/audio-apps/drawer.html , the maximum number of items scrollable is 6 (in the US). If this is actually the case, we may want to allow the user to configure which subset of Playlists, Genres, Artists, Albums should be displayed. e.g. Config > Android Auto: Display items: _All_ [All, Recent, Top] Choose which items to display in Android Auto. Display items: (o) All ( ) Recent - Recently played items ( ) Top - Top played items Depending on what the user chooses, items in Android Auto will be listed as either e.g. Playlists, Recent Playlists, Top Playlists Genres, Recent Genres, Top Genres etc... btw, another approach could be to avoid the use of the config entirely and just add Most Popular and Most recent to the tree. e.g. Most popular > Playlists, Genres, Artists, etc... Most recent > Playlists, Genres, Aritsts, etc... Playlists Genres Artists ... |
|
|
Fixed in build 1.3.1.698 Also added optimization, when Genre contains only one Artist or Artist contains only one Album, then tracks are displayed directly. |
|
|
Most popular and Most recent auto-playlists related to http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=9600 will be realized to 2.0. |

Seems to be working well. One more feature that would be useful: in any view containing only tracks, if there are > 2 tracks, the first entry should be 'Shuffle all'. See https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&p=435811#p435811 |

Fixed in build 1.3.1.700 |

As rusty pointed about shuffle button in https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=435883#p435883 Some apps have shuffle button under ... https://postimg.io/image/t86h0iwqf/ Taken from https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=434298#p434298 |

We have also "shuffle" button as on picture. This action enables shuffle playing of current "Now playing list". The views with > 2 tracks contain "Shuffle All" action, which replaces tracks in "Now playing list". |

Fixed browsing on AndroidWear devices in 1.3.0.700 |
