DSub for Subsonic

Fantastic app that is consistently updated that I have used forever with Subsonic. A recent bug I have discovered relates to Chromecast usage and switching back to normal (local/online) use. After stopping Chromecasting, the app will sometimes give a "failed to load" error when playing content normally until I force stop the app. I have duplicated this issue on 3 different devices (Nexus5, S7, OnePlus3T). Keep up the great work!

Up until I updated my Nexus 6p to Android6 7, this app was perfect. Since then, it is the single largest battery consumer. As an example, overnight it drained 30% of the battery simply being resident in memory. On the other hand, it doesn't drain any faster while in use, so you just need to remember to force stop the app. .... As of the 11/29/16 update, not enabling dlna does appear to fix the battery issue.

a few things are annoying. 1) Why even have an online/offline mode, why isn't there just a check if a network link is up? Doesn't Android have that capability? I allways have to remember to switch back to online mode, or the sync won't work and the UI works differently depending on which mode i'm currently in. 2) Why does the creation of a random playlist in offline-mode sometimes take >1 min. when it is instant in online-mode, whether i'm actually online or not?

Great app. Only drawback is the apparent inability to save to external storage even when rooted. The option is there but not selectable. I've got a 64gb SD card yet I'm limited to the small amount of internal storage that is shared with many other apps.

Great app. However on 5.3.4 I'm getting stuttering when my screen is off. I'm attempting to diagnose this as 5.3.2 did not give me this issue. For the time being I'll be flipping back to the older version. I'm on PureNexus 7.1, rooted with viper4arise.

This app is VERY good normally. But after updating to Android Nougat 7.0 DSub drains my battery very quickly (30% in an hour) and heats my phone up to 115+ degrees. I can use other music streaming apps and podcast apps after the Nougat update with no battery or heat issues. Also, the developer has not been responding to multiple emails about this issue, which is in itself very disappointing. UPDATE: The problems are still there and the dev has still not responded to my emails.

This is a great app in almost every respect but it has one major flaw - no gapless playback when casting to my Chromecast Audio. This means that there is a gap of silence between each track during playback which really interrupts the flow when I play an album which has seamless transitions between songs or a comedy album. If this one issue could be fixed this would be a 5 star review but until then it means I don't get as much use out of it as I'd like.

It's nice & all, but suck the life out of my battery. Tried contacting the Dev. But no response.Updated rating. Thanks for the fix.

There is a glitch when you go back to a previous menu while still scrolling where the previous screen stays visible and messes everything up. App needs to be restarted to fix it. Apart from this I love this app and I use it almost daily.

I think the dev just took the free version and modified it. You can see this in the error messages, position of the screen elements, and overall conceptual design. After the new version there are issues with connecting to the server. From my work connecting to my home via the browser it works great. Connecting from my work to my home with the dsub product I get constant time-outs. I can do this back to back within a matter of minutes back and forth. It seems dsub has become unstable and unusable.

My favorite overall android app! Simply the best one for subsonic. Dev is always updating and expanding this app. I cant use android without dsub! Some of the killer features for me are: - Chromecast - DLNA - Android auto support - Gapless playback - Great widget - Offling queueing of Last.fm scrobbles & resync on online

Other than having Chromecast support this app doesn't appear better in any way than free alternatives like Ultrasonic. The UI is clunky and the Chromecast-support has so many bugs. To name a few the volume controls never seem to work while casting and if you stop a song and close the app to cast from another app, this app will try to reconnect to Chromecast and override whatever other app you tried to cast from which is really annoying. Even if you stop the current song and kill the app after casting the next time you start the app it'll automatically try to start Casting again.

My Mac mini home media jukebox couldn't work without this app. It's fantastic.

I am really enjoying this with Android Auto. Thanks!

Awesome as always. Thanks for continuing development of this great app.

The best subsonic music player

Most features work well out of the box. Android auto integration is great.

AWESOME

Great

It seems the latest update does not authenticate correctly with basic auth anymore. I am using an nginx reverse proxy in front of libresonic. Testing connection in the app gives "Connection failure. Resource not found. Please check the server address." My nginx log shows a 401 for the GET request to /libresonic/rest/ping.view. If I disable basic auth, the test is successful and the app works. Edit: I was able to get the previous version from the developer's GitHub right away, which still worked, and the developer sent me an updated version very quickly. The update was included in the next Play Store release, and everything is 100% again. Great developer and amazing app!

I used to love this app. But since I got my Pixel it has been unusable EDIT: was contacted by Floss and an update was immediately provided and now Dsub is back to being the app I love! WOW that's great customer service!

Always works great for music and podcasts. Recently the video playback stopped working for me, I tried toggling the playback format but I'm not sure which it should be. I never had to change that setting before.

Appears to struggle (get audio glitches) even when music is on local storage, when other apps are doing stuff like Google Maps. I suspect maybe not enough ram caching or not high enough priority for playback thread?

I LOVE this app. Coming from Plex to the Subsonic/Dsub combo is like seeing the light. Gapless playback, a super-customizable interface, and responsive development creates this unparalleled masterpiece. You could say I'm excited.

App is heating up and draining my battery on LG V20 and Android N/7.0. Please fix this issue, thanks.

Nougat Issues Have Been Fixed

It is the best subsonic streamer I've found so far

Works great with new devices but not playing anything on Android 4.4.2...

Been a great app for years. Somethings up with Nougat. Used almost 50% battery on my commute to and from work today. Computed 1378mAh battery usage. Almost 3 hours CPU. UPDATE: Don't seem to be getting any response about this issue.

This is a very good app. It will great if the ability to search by composer is added. The feature will be welcomed by the classical music lovers.

This is a fine app, and I use it daily. Playback is great. I can't make it Android's default music app on 7.0 Nougat; it doesn't show on the list of music apps. That's my one minor gripe.

Developer is amazingly responsive. UI is a huge improvement over official Subsonic app. Android N is super aggressive about throwing apps out of memory, and I'm having issues with resuming play of podcasts. Will go back to 5 stars when this is fixed. The issue is bookmarks aren't saved because the app is tossed from memory, which causes podcasts to restart at the beginning. Also, I noticed heavy battery use a few times, but it's not consistent.

If you use subsonic and your not using Dsub your doing something wrong. It's interface is great and supports many features not listed on other subsonic apps. The developer floss is very helpful and did a great job making this app. I recommend to anyone using subsonic to give this one a try.

All the features you want and a developer who cares. Awesome!

I bought before family library feature, how to install on family devices....?

Dsub has all the features you didn't even know you were missing from the official subsonic app. Playing and managing podcasts, managing playlists, and casting directly to my server are some examples. Last FM top tracks, similar artists, and artist radio are also nice in helping me rediscover my library. The developer is also very responsive and always improving the app. Speaking of which, artist radio stopped working for me after last update. Using Android 7. Please fix and thanks for creating a great app.

Was great, but is broken on nougat. Just skips through songs very quickly without playing

5 star app until Nougat bugs fixed.... Please update this app!!! Bugs: Dsub immediately resumes the last song when you first load the app but does not show the song as playing. Then afterwards it jumps to the next song after 20 seconds.. plays that song fully... then it's the end of the playlist. Also sometimes when i load the app it'll start playing 2 songs at once and i can only pause one. I'll have to close to entire app to get it to stop playing. App is totally unusable until this is fixed. Please fix! Edit: Thanks for being such awesome responsive devs. App is working perfectly again. Thanks!

I use this app everyday and just can't function without it! The updates have been steady and plentiful through the years and frankly the developer is one of the best I've come across. Can't recommend it enough!

Impressed. Used isub on my iPhone for almost 6 years. This is equal.
