Hello community, today I want to present to you the work done on Tempo in recent months. This new version brings improvements to Android Auto, a first use of the OpenSubsonic API, synchronized song lyrics and the ability to customize the home screen.

As usual, Tempo is free and open source, by the community and for the community. You can follow the development on Github and you can download it from F-Droid as well.

If you appreciate the work put into Tempo, remember that you can star the project on Github or make a donation! It’s not much but it’s useful to help the project grow and give visibility to the app.

I think this is the first subsonic android client that is not an eyesore. I wanted to use something like this for a long time but the clients were simply to ugly and aesthetics are important to me. I will definitely give it a try and maybe even submit some PR if I find something missing and have time to contribute. You have my star.

Looks pretty and is stable, but two fatal flaws:

Browsing by genres displays individual pieces/songs, not albums. Browsing albums or artists doesn't allow any filtering by genres, years or any other metadata. Haven't found a way to change that behaviour and as someone who listens to albums, not songs, and has thousands of albums this is a complete dealbreaker for me.
No support for UPnP/DLNA to stream from my phone to my stereo (or, for that matter, any modern AV receiver/streamer/network stereo receiver all which support UPnP/DLNA).

This looks amazing. I am planning on setting up navidrone soon and will certainly check this out!

[–] potajito@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks for this! I tried tempo like a year ago but kept using substreamer. Time (haha) to give it another shot.

[–] harald_im_netz@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Tried it with 3.7.0, but somehow the app stopped working, and I've continued using Ultrasonic, but will give Tempo another try, as soon as 3.8.0 is available on F-Droid. Liked the Tempo-UI more, than Ultrasonic’s.

Is there an equivalent for Jellyfin that anyone knows of?

Does this have synchronised lyrics ?

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It will have support before Jellyfin 10.9 is officially released. I'll be working on that feature myself! :D

[–] WhyAUsername_1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Super excited for this one! Thank you so much

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So, have you tried it already? :D

[–] WhyAUsername_1@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes sir! <3

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nice! And how do you like it? Anything that's missing or not working for you? :)

[–] WhyAUsername_1@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It works flawlessly. Chefs kiss. I haven't gotten a chance to use much of the lyrics feature yet. I am on bike now a days, so not able to sing along.

But I am going on road trip(car) soon and my friends and I will be singing our hearts out. This time we won't have to keep on looking up the lyrics after the song changes 😂😂.

However, I would love to see the following 2 options

To see lyrics by default. Right now , I need to click on the current playing song at the bottom of the screen, then click on the lyrics button. It would be great if I could customise it to always show lyrics.
Disable timestamps appearing on each line of lyrics.

One more question, are you the developer ? 🙈

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's great to hear! Just make sure you have all the lyrics set up in Jellyfin before you start the road trip, Finamp only fetches from the server and not from any other websites :)

There will probably come some changes to the lyrics interaction, I'm also not a fan of the current setup. Toggling between lyrics or the cover seems doable.

Customizations for the lyrics, like hiding the timestamp and centering, is definitely planned. Maybe I can even fit it into the next update!

And yes, I'm the current maintainer of Finamp, since the original creator is currently busy with uni. They're still around though, and there also are some awesome contributors helping out with a ton of stuff!

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. I'll try to reply in less than two days xD

[–] WhyAUsername_1@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh superb that's great to hear. I am not a developer but I am good at documentation. Is there anything that needs edition from documentation stand point, please feel free to let me know. I will be more than happy to help you with such tasks.

And thank you so much for your efforts ❤️❤️

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago

Hmm, my goal with the app is to not require an external documentation, I'd like to make it straight-forward enough to use as it is.

The only thing we really need would be developer documentation, but I'm not sure if you can help with that, especially since you don't know the codebase.

If you can think of something else to contribute, or if you want to add a basic GitHub wiki for the most common functionality and issues, I'm happy to discuss things further!

[–] kiy@lmy.sagf.io 2 points 1 year ago

When will the new version be available in fdroid?

Love everything about this app, thanks for the hard work!

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

This prompted me to open Tempo I have installed from F-Droid but haven't used in a while, and the app crashed on startup. Logcat had the most unusual message:

03-27 18:40:31.304 W/GooglePlayServicesUtil(6188): com.cappielloantonio.tempo requires the Google Play Store, but it is missing.
