@luisadha Hi, thanks for reaching out! I am sorry to hear you bumped into problems. From the Toast message in the screenshot provided, it looks like an issue with storage permission. Please verify that the read external storage permission is granted to DMP. Meanwhile I'll try reproducing the error from my side too. :)

[luisadha]

i will try a second time

[luisadha]

i think wrong permission, should be permission to file or change system setting? In images permission is requested for images and media. Cmiiw

[luisadha]

I usually use size utilities or sometimes use the default Xiaomi music player application. I'm just trying to use this app🙂

yeah, the name of the permission is android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE & Android shows it as images & media (since I presume it would make more sense to a common user). DMP basically wants access to read the storage (to access the music file being played), it's just that Android uses wordings like "images" & "media" to prompt to the user.

thank you & much appreciated that you took the effort to try use DMP, to try match it to your usecase & report back the stumbling blocks you faced meanwhile to me :)

thanks again, try granting the permission & please LMK whether that fixes the issue

[luisadha]

I found a solution. After seeing a comparison of 2 similar applications the dmp application does not include permissions to all files while the other apps includes 2 permissions namely images and media and all file

yeah, we do not really need the "all files permission", it is requesting access to the whole storage -- applications like file managers would need that.

[luisadha]

so are you going to add that permission? Or let DMP run like that

[VishnuSanal]

hi, I tried reproducing this issue on my daily driver. steps:

• installed latest version of Termux from FDroid
• uncommented allow-external-apps = true on ~/.termux/termux.properties
• ran termux-open music-file.mp3
• it played fine!

are these the steps you followed too? or am I missing something? please verify.

so are you going to add that permission? Or let DMP run like that

um... DMP doesn't need that permission at all to work + I'm pretty sure adding all file permission would raise some eyebrows on FDroid for being suspicious (& can't even publish on play store as we ain't a file manager).

[luisadha]

I verified it's the same

[VishnuSanal]

@luisadha must be fixed with the latest release v2.0.0, please reopen if it is not the case :)

[luisadha]

Good job guys the app is as expected, but is it running in the background? When I touch the part outside the DMP box/popup the app does not close if I touch the Quit button then the music stops as well as when I press the back button.

Did you forget to give support permission [Display on top of other apps].

Thank you for your attention Diterjemahkan dengan DeepL

[luisadha]

@VishnuSanal Because I see other 2 music player apps on my device need those special permissions

[luisadha]

@VishnuSanal i'm fix this by bash my function "hide_soft_keyboard"

Please keep the application even if the soft keyboard is open

[luisadha]

reopen this issue please

[VishnuSanal]

@luisadha I didn't quite get you; what is the current issue that you are facing?

[luisadha]

@luisadha I didn't quite get you; what is the current issue that you are facing?

I mean, the app window disappears when the smartphone keyboard is idle (IME), it causes the app can't play the requested song via "xdg-open" or "am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d"

[luisadha]

@luisadha I didn't quite get you; what is the current issue that you are facing?

My project relies on apps like yours so I hope the app side of this issue can be resolved so I don't write "hide_soft_keyboard" in my project. Sorry for the trouble

@luisadha please create a new issue.
