No sound on Android #795

Closed jtrees closed 3 years ago

jtrees commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug Using the Android app doesn't produce any sound.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set up a Snapserver
  2. Download Snapcast on a phone via F-Droid
  3. Start playing music
  4. Confirm everything is working with a PC client
  5. Start Snapcast on the phone
  6. Connect, press play
  7. Ensure the phone volume is up

Environment details

Additional details Using snapweb (and checking the server logs) confirms that the client is able to connect. Pressing play and stop has an effect. I get no sound though...

Please report this bug to the fdroid maintainer of Snapdroid, but don't expect the five years old 0.7 to work with a recent server version. You can download a recent apk from the Snapdroid releases page or in the Google play store.

@jtrees , add IzzySoft's repo to your F-Droid installation!

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=3BF0D6ABFEAE2F401707B6D966BE743BF0EEE49C2561B9BA39073711F628937A

Nice, I wasn't aware of this repo (or that one can add repos to FDroid). Though it doesn't sync for me Error getting F-Droid index file => no mirrors available. Anyways: I don't know how Snapcast made it into the official F-Droid repo, I only heard/read back then that it will not be updated because of the strange and complicated build process. Years later, the Android toolchain got some features to streamline the build process (Snapclient is running as cross compiled binary within the App, and this cross compilation is now done in a single build step (used to be done manually before), but it still uses some manually compiled libs, which I've automated yesterday https://github.com/badaix/snapcast-deps, so I might make a PR to F-Droid soon to have it up to date).

I found out based on @IzzySoft's work in badaix/snapdroid#2 :) It is at: F-Droid settings / (My Apps) Repositories / + New Reposiory

I didn't know about it earlier, too.

For the F-Droid repo, I just followed IzzySoft's profile: https://android.izzysoft.de/repo/info

Oh yeah. I didn't realise it wasn't up-to-date. Works with the newest version. Thanks!
