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.

    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?

    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+
