A RemoteViews widget (no new dependencies) shows the active track,
artist, queue count, and a coarse progress bar, with tap-to-open.
DownloadService pushes updates only on discrete events — track or
status changes and 25% progress steps, never per byte — matching the
battery discipline; the last state persists so launcher refreshes
render after process death. Colors use Material You system tokens on
API 31+ with static light/dark fallbacks below.
Version rolled back from v4.x to v3.7.0. After extensive work on v4's
internal streaming engine, smart queue, DASH pipeline, and media controls,
we realized v3 was already feature-complete. Adding more big features
only made maintenance increasingly difficult and the developer's life
miserable. Stripped back to what works: external player only, cleaner
codebase, sustainable long-term.
- Remove just_audio, audio_service, audio_session and entire internal
playback engine (smart queue, notification, shuffle/repeat, prefetch)
- Remove PlaybackItem model, MiniPlayerBar widget, notification drawables
- Remove playerMode setting (external-only now)
- Migrate MainActivity from AudioServiceFragmentActivity to
FlutterFragmentActivity
- Migrate Qobuz to MusicDL API
- Update changelog with v3.7.0 rollback explanation
- Add configurable YouTube Opus (96-256kbps) and MP3 (96-320kbps) bitrates
- Improve title matching with loose normalization for symbol-heavy tracks
- Add SpotubeDL engine v2 fallback for MP3 requests
- Improve filename sanitization in track metadata screen
- Bump version to 3.6.9+82
- Cache home feed to SharedPreferences for instant restore on app launch
- Resolve SAF tree URIs to human-readable paths (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Music)
- Add Android 13+ per-app language support (locale_config.xml)
- Bump version to 3.5.0+73
