Some necessary fixes important for project to receive quickly. Most importantly:

• NAS / Samba file-system support for Windows has been fixed.
• Thumbnail toolbar is no longer missing on Windows.
• Some specific ROMs/devices will no longer face playback issues on Android.
• Issue that caused opening music from File Explorer making Harmonoid restored on Windows has been fixed.
• Harmonoid window no longer freezes when quitting on Windows 7 (backward-compatibility).

Highlights

• Fixed NAS / SMB support on Windows.
• Fixed issue that caused opening music from File Explorer making Harmonoid restored (if maximized) on Windows.
• Added ability to disable all audio filters on Android (disabled by default).
• Disabled GTK header-bar on GNOME desktop environment (#380).
• Fixed unresponsive process when closing window on Windows 7 only.
• Updated new page animation when clicking on hyperlinks.
• Added support for installing for current users only on Windows (#372).
• Fixed next/previous buttons not greyed out in ModernNowPlayingScreen (#369).
• Made fallback album arts configurable (#379).
• Fixed missing thumbnail toolbar buttons on Windows.
• Fixed "CANCEL" button on minimum file size dialog popping Navigator on the wrong BuildContext.
• Migrated project to API changes in package:media_kit.
• Safer hyperlinks. Added null-check after lookup for album/artist in package:media_library HashSet(s) (#366).
• Added multiple genre support (not exposed yet).
• Added Play all button next to Shuffle on Albums, Tracks & Artists screens to play them orderly.
• Now background visuals are stored as animated WebP. This has significantly reduced bundle size & also improved Linux's performance with ModernNowPlayingScreen (?).
• Aligned text & label inside various TextField(s).
• Fixed issue that made manually entering values in "Control Panel" difficult.

Known Issues

There are few known issues & changes. These will not prevent Harmonoid from functioning, just for the record.

• In Settings, sometimes "Visuals" thumbnail may fail to load. This is due to some change in Flutter itself.
• Now whole music library is not added to playlist by default, when playing music from "TRACKS" tab. Users may revert to old behavior by enabling "Add library to playlist when playing" flag from settings.

• Updated Slovenian translations (@mytja).
• Updated German translations (@ken-der-guru).
• Updated Hungarian translations (@csalsz).

This update introduces a number of little tweaks, fixes & features requested by a lot of users, thus named "Essentials". A good amount of source-code has been refactored & few new sub-packages have been introduced, to improve the quality & stability of Harmonoid. Read the highlights below for descriptive information.

Downloads

Highlights

• Ability to configure parameters (year, album artist & album name) which identify an album uniquely.
• Remembering window position, size & maximized state on fresh start.
• Ability to set custom libmpv options, properties & flags (#329).
• Smoother animations (upstream from Flutter 3.3.x).
• Smoother scrolling with trackpad/touchpad (upstream from Flutter 3.3.x).
• Fixed/improved FLAC & OGG bitrate calculation/approximation.
• Fix track order in AlbumScreen. Now accounts disc-number.
• AlbumTile context menus (#339).
• Fixed crash on Windows 7.
• Fixed legacy NowPlayingScreen.
• Fixed annoying line below window controls on Windows (rarely experienced on some PCs).
• Rewrite custom window frame, more stable DPI-change handling, hit-box testing & fullscreen.
• Use Win32 API to fetch AppData & default Music folder on Windows instead of environment variables.
• Prevent data-redundancy in music library caching.
• Improve "show in file explorer" behavior on Linux.
• Improve Android launch speed.
• Improve the quality of color palette extraction (further tweaks).
• Better & performant URI & file path parsing.
• Re-designed missing folders screen.
• Add missing "Add to playlist" & "Shuffle" buttons on Android (at-places).
• Enable Linux / Android-x86 touchscreen & mouse drag scroll (#342).
• Old streaming recommendations behavior i.e. refresh on page revisit.
• Fixed an issue that caused Harmonoid to request last-modified time stamps of all files already present in cache. This is a major issue. Now, cached last-modified time stamps are used. This will also improve start-up performance & safety with long file-paths on Windows. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Known Issues

There are few known issues & changes. These will not prevent Harmonoid from functioning, just for the record.

• Sometimes "Visuals" thumbnail may fail to load.

Downloads

Highlights

• Fixed an issue where pressing next/previous buttons with shuffle-enabled didn't pick a random track from the queue (#333).
  • Thanks to @FloRyuK0 for the report.
• Fixed storage access permission issue specifically on Android 10 (#338).
  • Thanks to @Quackdoc for the report.
• Added prompt to keep app-data before uninstall on Android.
• Fixed an issue where Harmonoid couldn't be started on some Android ROMs.
• Fixed animation lag when opening ArtistScreen.
• Fixed a performance issue where UserScrollNotification were redundantly being bubbled.

I wanna take a moment to thank all the package maintainers for following up with the releases. This release doesn't bring/fix anything for Windows & Linux, you guys are free to skip this one.

This release mainly addresses a newly discovered issue that caused indexing process to completely freeze (in rare cases) for some users.

Downloads

Downloads are available on the project website.

Highlights

• Apparently, having Latin characters with certain accents in metadata values confused libmpv.
  • This caused libmpv to return incorrect UTF-8 bytes (from dart:ffi/package:ffi's perspective).
  • This resulted in an unhandled FormatException by Dart (from utf8), causing whole event callback isolate to die.
  • For the character è:
    • libmpv stores it in a single byte with a value of 232. I mean that's under 255, so SGTM.
    • dart:ffi expects 195, 168 (with an extension byte). But, I think Dart's FFI is correct.
  • Thanks to @Zahrun for the file sample & the bug-report.
  • This is quite odd since Harmonoid is tested against music files having metadata/tags in Japanese, Mandarin & other foreign languages (even Latin characters with accents). This was quite an edge-case.
  • However, the issue is now fixed. More details may be found at #331.
• Harmonoid on Android now uses MD5 hashing for generating a unique identifier to cache the file when opened from file explorer etc.
  • This will prevent any "File name too long" IOExceptions from Java/Kotlin.
• Translations have been updated for few of the languages, thanks to our kind translation providers.
  • Update Portuguese translations. Thanks to @maisondasilva.
  • Update Simplified Chinese translations. Thanks to @wcxu21.
  • Update Russian translations. Thanks to @Feelogil.

This release mainly targets Android, since Windows & Linux implementations are very feature-proof & stable for now. After this release, I can ensure proper feature parity & quality on all supported platforms.

Downloads

Highlights

• Bitrate, sample rate & format of currently playing song is displayed on the bottom bar & now playing screen. This may be configured from the settings.
• Now same folder can't be added twice in music library.
• Music library refresh performance has been improved, less copy operations.
• Harmonoid on Android now uses Scoped Storage, making it more privacy friendly.
• This means native delete permission dialogs & more privacy friendly file/folder pickers are added specifically for Android.
• Harmonoid now makes use of newest Android 13 SDK 33 to provide separate control over notification, photos & music permissions.
• Now playing screen now looks modern. The colors extracted from currently playing song, ripple into the view, giving a nice transition. The panel can also be now slided downwards, which was quite annoying in previous versions.
• Lyric view in Android has been made smoother.
• Changes & tweaks to overall design, making things like context menu positioning & TextFields more coherent.
• Lyrics are now cached by default.

Changes

All Platforms

• fix(style): showMenu constraints causing overflow with some languages.
• feat: ripple effect on NowPlayingScreen with extracted color palette.
• feat: display audio output bitrate, sample rate & format on NowPlayingBar & NowPlayingScreen.
• feat: .lrc caching.

Mobile

• fix: LyricsScreen jitter on scroll.
• style: use Icons.favorite instead of Icons.thumb_up for like indicator.
• style: add themed icon for android 13 or higher.

Notes

• If you were using existing Android version, your music library will be re-indexed & old playlists won't be recognized.
• To restore your existing playlists & music library in this new stable release, you replace files/cache from .Harmonoid (at root of your local storage) to Android/data/com.alexmercerind.harmonoid/files/.Harmonoid.
• This is due to scoped storage enforcement.

This release addresses some of the crucial bugs & performance issues discovered & reported by users in last major release.

There's a lot to cover, let's go through this changelog really quick. Like it's been done in the past, minor releases & major ones... and this is a major release.

Still steady on the goal of building a consistent, cohesive, modern & fluid music experience for all. 🎵

Highlights

What's Next

Chilling & enjoying what I've made. I'm really tired.

On a serious note, these are the short-term plans:

• Some people seem to have some trouble with NAS systems so that's something to handle. Please get in contact if you're willing to de-bug & provide reports for fixes.
• Adding Material You support, behind an optional switch (because not everyone admires the change). While being consistent in terms of design & animations as currently Harmonoid is.
• Release on Google Play Store.

On the other hand, I'm already enjoying listening to music with Harmonoid (way too much) & don't feel necessity of more features. Harmonoid now has details editor, direct URL players, synced lyrics, pitch shifting, volume boost ... so on.

Please report bugs, if you find any.

It is really important for us to build a stable experience, though everything seems to be working fine for us. Targeting 3 platforms Windows, Linux & Android alone is surely a tough job.

End Notes

Consider becoming a Patreon or support voluntarily with PayPal if you're enjoying Harmonoid & would like to see more of it.

NOTE: Re-publishing release from my second account. I accidentally deleted original one.

Local Music	Online Music

• Details editor screen.

• Improved color generation from artwork.

Before v0.2.5 (very-less contrast between primary & accent color)	v0.2.5 (better looking color-palette & visibility)

• Added option to show a local music directly in File Explorer.

• Added ability to disable Discord RPC.
• Patches to libmpv bindings to fix a number of media playback related issues.
• Refactored indexing to use HashSets. Now indexing is way faster, safer & efficient.
• Improved caching mechanism inside the application to be more safe to corruptions, power-cuts or other interruptions.
• Add "copy-link" & "open-in-browser" buttons right at the NowPlayingBar for quicker access.
• Other performance improvements & UI tweaks to make things more pleasant to use.
• Now the application warns if any of the folders you added to your library are inaccessible.

I want to especially thank:

• @kellerkolle for being my only Patreon for this project, thanks a lot for your trust & support. Hope you like this update.
• @naturallymitchell for the large donation, hope you enjoy this update & my internal source-code & other projects too.
• @yehudakremer for awesome contributions earlier to the project & the donation.
• @DomingoMG for the donation. Hope you are finding my internal source-code & packages useful.
• @stonega for becoming my first GitHub sponsor. Thankyou!
• @mytja for being an awesome person & housekeeping the project!
• People in Harmonoid's Discord server for staying with me.

Notes:

1. This update will cause one-time-only re-indexing in your music collection. It is important because re-indexing logic is refactored completely to be more efficient (& will remain same in future releases).
2. Android version is not being released yet, as I don't feel confident about it yet & needs a lot of features/accessibility-related improvements. This update was already very delayed & can't wait anymore. In future update, I will release Android along with patches to issues that are reported for Linux or Windows.
