Hello community, today I want to present to you the work done on Tempo in recent months. This new version brings improvements to Android Auto, a first use of the OpenSubsonic API, synchronized song lyrics and the ability to customize the home screen.
As usual, Tempo is free and open source, by the community and for the community. You can follow the development on Github and you can download it from F-Droid as well.
If you appreciate the work put into Tempo, remember that you can star the project on Github or make a donation! It’s not much but it’s useful to help the project grow and give visibility to the app.
Looks pretty and is stable, but two fatal flaws:
-
Browsing by genres displays individual pieces/songs, not albums. Browsing albums or artists doesn’t allow any filtering by genres, years or any other metadata. Haven’t found a way to change that behaviour and as someone who listens to albums, not songs, and has thousands of albums this is a complete dealbreaker for me.
-
No support for UPnP/DLNA to stream from my phone to my stereo (or, for that matter, any modern AV receiver/streamer/network stereo receiver all which support UPnP/DLNA).
-
I think this is the first subsonic android client that is not an eyesore. I wanted to use something like this for a long time but the clients were simply to ugly and aesthetics are important to me. I will definitely give it a try and maybe even submit some PR if I find something missing and have time to contribute. You have my star.
This looks amazing. I am planning on setting up navidrone soon and will certainly check this out!
Thanks for this! I tried tempo like a year ago but kept using substreamer. Time (haha) to give it another shot.
Is there an equivalent for Jellyfin that anyone knows of?
This prompted me to open Tempo I have installed from F-Droid but haven’t used in a while, and the app crashed on startup. Logcat had the most unusual message:
