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.

    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.

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

    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?

      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+

    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?

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

      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?

          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.

              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.
