Media3 simply will not tolerate me doing this. I am basically stuck
at the mercy of the Android OS now, until I can have my own unified
source of truth with cover loading.
Playback and indexing now occur in the same service through a new
bridge called AuxioService.
AuxioService contains the existing service instances as Fragment
implementations, and then forwards typical service events to them
(albeit this will drift more and more as I continue to deal with
lifecycle issues).
This should be the first step in enabling true service independence,
as it means that the service will now immediately initialize and load
music as soon as possible.
Media3 -> 1.1.0. Update project info accordingly to use Media3
ExoPlayer instead of standalone ExoPlayer.
Nav -> 2.6.0 once again, probably without the absurd bugs now
Kotlin -> 1.9.0
Kotlin Coroutines -> 1.7.2
LeakCanary -> 2.12
Update the app to target API 34, alongside all dependencies that expect
such.
This finally fixes some long-standing issues in newer version of MDC,
thus allowing me to remove the divider backport as well.
More work is required for predictive back (don't even know where I
start with that...), but this is a good start.
Finally give up and use Room to persist the playback state.
This should make dependency injection much easier, and the
implementation isn't exactly the *worst*, as I was already using
"raw" data structures for the old queue database.
Add semi-complete support for multiple artists.
This changeset completely reworks the music linker to add the following
new behaviors:
1. Artists are now derived from both artist and album artist tags,
with them being linked to songs and albums respectively
2. Albums and songs can now have multiple artists that can be distinct
from eachother
3. Previous Genre picking infrastructure has been removed and replaced
with artist picking infrastructure. "Play from genre" has been retired
entirely.
This is a clean break to the previous artist model and may not work
with all libraries. Steps to migrate the music library will be added
to the changelog.
Resolves#195.
FINALLY upgrade to android 13.
I cannot believe it had to take until the release of the version to
finally update the SDK version, but of course it had to. For some
insane reason that I have no idea why it passed QA, the 33 SDK had
a crippling issue where attributes were not recognized. The only
way to fix this was to:
1. Upgrade to the newer studio version (Chipmunk Patch 2)
2. Upgrade to AGP 7.3.0-beta05.
Funny thing though. AGP 7.3.0 IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CHIPMUNK. Okay,
so we can upgrade to Dolphin then and then we can use AGP, right?
HAHAHA NOPE! Dolphin hasn't patched out the XML issue yet despite
every other release channel having a release on August 3rd. Did
some engineer at google just forget to make a release? What?
Okay, so I guess I'm forced to use Electric Eel, the UNSTABLE CANARY
VERSION that IS FILLED WITH BUGS. But oh wait, Electric Eel doesn't
like AGP 7.3.0 EITHER! It wants AGP 7.4.0, which IS ALSO IN ALPHA.
So, I'm forced to use the ALPHA studio and the ALPHA AGP version just
to use the android 13 SDK in a way that is not completely unbearable.
The android SDK, everyone.
(This is not a cry for help, I just want to write down my infinite
frustration with this stupid goose chase somewhere)
