Chora v1.24
We are so back.
Lots of changes since the last release, so I'll try my best to write them all, this list may be incomplete!
Releases will be a bit more often now, probably once a month if i can.
Frontend changes
- UI design changes.
- Completely overhauled now playing screen for Android TV, closing #13.
- Fixed navigation with remote on Android TV, closing #16.
- Fixed format and bitrate options always being 0 or null.
- New animated background inspired by Cephalopod Studio Aurora Background. It's less resource intensive and better on battery life.
Note: Blur and Animated backgrounds don't blur at all on Android 11, and will possibly be deprecated in a future release. - Icons in the now playing screen will automatically switch to dark or light mode depending on the album image.
Backend changes
- Rewrote radio parsing code, from XML to JSON.
- Organized the crappy code of this app to make it easier to understand.
- (partially, it's still WIP) overhauled save and loading preferences and options to be more reliable and faster to load.
- Optimized image loading.
- Added self-signed certificates support, closing #9.
Known issues
- Download button does not work.
- App crashes when internet connection is lost or Subsonic/Navidrome server goes down while the app is open.
- On tablets, the UI has padding on the bottom where it shouldn't.
