Ales

it would be good to reduce the snackbar to 2 seconds

thanks again for all the effort

Is this snackbar can it be deleted  ?
Who does it serve?
or reduce to 0.5 seconds if possible? 😁

Many thanks

Thanks for adding the left handed support. It might seem a small thing but it helps a lot.

Hi Folks, New on the forum and have taken an interest in possibly using HQ Player in my setup.  I have HQ Player installed on a 2018 Mac Mini running Ventura.  Both my iPhone and iPad are running the latest version of IOS. I'm running the Mac Mini headless. I remote into the Mac Mini with my MacBook Air for screen sharing but I doubt it has any bearing on my issue.  I've downloaded HQ Player to trial it and have run into a couple of issues that have stumped me so far and hoping those of you more knowledgeable than me to help solve one of the issue with HQPDcontrol v4.   It worked fine for 2 days but suddenly I can't connect to HQ Player anymore.  I checked the IPA to make sure it's correct and it is.  No firewalls enabled.  The 30 minute limit makes it harder to solve.  Anyone have any suggestions? Thx

How many IPAs had you tried before trouble shooting?  ;-)

 

I wish I had some ideas of how to troubleshoot HQPDv4 but I have never once had a problem with it.

AudioDoc, I have a confession to make.  It was my screwup.  I did initially  have an issue that made me check the IPA.  Because I'm doing remote desktop from my MacBook, I wound up looking at the wrong network settings, the one on my MacBook instead of my Mac mini.  I changed the IPA to the Macbook's thinking the DHCP had changed it on my Mac mini upon a lease renewal.  Then, of course, I wondered why it didn't work (dummy).  Today after posting this I checked again and realized my mistake.  After switching the IPA back to what it really is, I was able to connect and it's been working fine all evening.  Thanks anyway.

To avoid this kind of error you can define in HQPDControl app the HQPlayer embedded address as

hqplayer.local

in this way the IPA will be on charge of your DNS which will aways give the right IPA

Stefano, that's a great idea.  I didn't think of that even though the client app uses similar method for finding HD Player on the network.  Thx much

I was just making a joke about your use of IPA for IP Address by using IPA as India Pale Ale the beer.

 

I am glad you figured it out.

Aloha Everyone!

I am facing trouble using HQPD android app while using Qobuz. I can't navigate an album, it transfers only one track, so I can't skip to next or previous track. 
Do you know any fix?

Hi,

 

HQPDcontrol does not support this type of playback.

 

Playback from these services is controlled by the native HQPlayer Client.
This native client is in charge of communication with the respective service and only passes one track to the server part at a time.

 

HQPDcontrol only communicates with the server side, so you only see one track at a time in this case.

Hello and Happy New Year!

 

I am wondering if i'm missing something eazy but all the filters/modulators are grayed out. Is this suppose to be selectable?

While playing you cannot change them …

I've been using HQPDcontrol for the past year.  Thank you so much!

 

I've recently been using a very large playlist (300+ tracks), and I've been experiencing some issues:

 

1.  On my Android phone, if I'm on the Now Playing screen and swipe left to see the HQP Queue, it doesn't follow the track currently playing.  I am forced to scroll and scroll to find the track to see what's next so I can skip to a different track.

 

2.  If I'm scrolling through on the HQP Queue screen, the list seems to very often reload to the first track and I completely lose my place. I have to constantly scroll down to try and find where I was.  

 

Does HQPDcontrol not have what I think is called "follow curser mode" where the HQP Queue screen would always follow the track currently playing?  Did I miss a setting somewhere in HQP?

 

Thanks

Hi Ales,

thanks for the update 6.6.6 v526

no more snackbar 🙂 well done !

 

[TJHUB]

Thanks for the update.  Much appreciated!

[RunHomeSlow]

@Ales Prochazka what a great remote you have made! Perfect for me now with the last update with keeping cache option for covers after adding new albums !!! 

[rodamic]

After updating to release 526, cover visualized in the player "now playing"  is at low resolution and the outilines out of focus. It seems to me Hqpd makes smaller cover resolution. Any suggestions to fix the problem?

Previously, the image resolution was left at the original size. This caused problems in some cases with scrolling between "Now Playing" and "Queue". Theoretically, an album image in the library can be any size and can cause problems for a mobile device with crappy hardware.

 

I can add a setting option to the next version:

1. Keep the original size
2. Shrink to the specified size

[rodamic]

Thank you Ales for your reply.

I hope to find these new options in your next release.

@Ales ProchazkaI forgot to tell you that I use HQPD with iOS. Sorry.
