How to WhiteList app in Doze mode Android 6.0

Hi.
There already exist a topic about it.
Please search first. Thank you

Yes, on some Chinese devices (eg Xiaomi, OnePlus) there are looping issues (gaps) with the TaifunPlayer.

Hi @bodymindpower,
Could you describe the problem better? With player component or @Taifun player extension the song go always in loop, if we use some chinese devices?

Thank you in advice.

PS: I’m asking about it because I want to switch from Exoplayer, and I want to know if the player component and taifun player works good.

I have posted on these questions several times, see e.g. here:

Playing a loop, the player adds a space between the end and the beginning of the audio

Note: You must use audio format: ogg or wav (mp3 is not loop-able, because it adds silence at the beginning & and end of a track) ogg is the only compressed audio format that is loop-able on Android see also here: [PAID] HLS Video Player Extension

[PAID] HLS Video Player Extension

I have some experience and everything tested to get perfect loops with all loop-able audio formats Android: ogg, flac, wav & iOS: ALAC, IM4A. Between ogg and wav formats, I had found no differences in the looping. However, the looping on some Chinese devices (Xiaomi, OnePlus, …) with the TaifunPlayer no longer works. This also applies to the wav (PMC) format. Post your “perfectly looped” ogg sound here, I’ll check it. PS: On iOS (Xcode, Swift 4) I never had problems with the looping.

Suggestions / request for useful (much needed) extensions

Probably these extensions are not quite simple, and are aimed at experienced extension creators. Two suggestions for new extensions: An audio player that masters seamless (gapless) looping and that also works in the background (ie when the device is in sleep / idle mode or when the current screen is not visible after pressing the device home button). Ideally, the player should also be capable of streaming. Note: The Player component does not loop seamlessly since Android 6. The TaifunPlaye…

Playing a loop, the player adds a space between the end and the beginning of the audio

The Player component does not loop seamlessly since Android 6. The ExoPlayer doesn’t loop gaplessly since Kodular Eagle, see here: (1) ExoPlayer is no longer looping gapless. (2) App crashes at ExoPlayer.Completed event try the TaifunPlayer extension which can loop audio seamlessly: App Inventor Extensions: Audio Player | Pura Vida Apps see point 3 or wait for bugfix of ExoPlayer

@DevYB

and I want to know if the player component and taifun player works good

See here from my 3rd link:

Note: The Player component does not loop seamlessly since Android 6. The TaifunPlayer does not loop gaplessly on specific Chinese devices (OnePlus, Xiaomi, …) anymore. (Finally I found the reason for this: these manufacturers fade out audio tracks with a length ≥ 30000ms for 165ms, which creates the gap.)

I wrote to OnePlus and explained this issue and we are still in discussion about it.

can you type me the code you use in set activity starter1 action because my app stop after streaming for 15 mins when using taifun and exoplayer. i really need help on this

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM

my app stop after streaming for 15 mins when using taifun and exoplayer

Which device & Android version are you using?

[EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM]

Tecno camon 12 pro and andriod 9 version

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

Unfortunately, there seems to be no solution to the problem with some devices when streaming sounds. We have discussed this problem extensively in all AI forums. Not even deactivating battery optimization will bring long-term success.

[EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM]

okay, thanks. do you have idea how i can load my podcast to my app using my podcast rss.
can you also help on this when i press play button it takes 5 to 6 seconds before player starts streaming and i mistakenly press any button my app becomes not responding and the app close. what do you think i can do that when user press play the user wont have access to press anything until the app start playing

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM

it takes 5 to 6 seconds before player starts streaming

Which audio format do you use (mp3, ogg, m4a, flac, …)?

[EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM]

mp3 audio format

[EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM]

the site offers mp3 and aac, should i pick aac. the site only offers mp3 and aac audio format

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM

should i pick aac

No, mp3 should be the best format to have short buffer times. Maybe the internet connection is the problem.

[EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM]

should i reduce the buffer for streaming

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

give it a try, but I don’t think it will help

[EXCLUSIVE_dj_POJAM]

okay thanks

Possible solution !

How to to run a function in background even after the app is closed?

This should finally solve the problem with the outdated ExoPlayer version: [ [grafik] ] → @Mika See e.g. here:
