2.18.5 custom releases (notice for Android users)

Post by dmitrykos » Fri Nov 19, 2021 6:16 pm

Google imposed to target Android 11 for all apps since November 1, 2021 (https://support.google.com/googleplay/a ... er/9859152).

For Android 11 and 12 users it means that standard fast file access is no longer accessible if application targets Android 11 and application has to access files through an extremely slow Scoped Storage Framework. Full details are here: https://twitter.com/neutroncode/status/ ... 8047323154

As a result, next update after 2.18.5 will follow not earlier than in several months in order to get longer transition period for users on these OS versions. Nevertheless, all minor releases until 2.19 within this time period will be released on Neutron's web site via the Downloads section (https://neutroncode.com/downloads/category/4-player). Release notes will be posted as usually in their forum threads and additionally inside this thread.

Note:
These releases will have the same version number and to be able to install the update you will need to uninstall Neutron Player first and then install downloaded apk manually via any file managing app.

Stay tuned and follow this thread and Twitter for updates! :D

2.18.5-4 is released (13.01):

Code: Select all

* New:
 - native DSD support for FiiO M11+, M17 and newer DAPs;
 - Ukrainian interface language.
* Try to search for USB DAC when Audio Focus is re-gained to auto-reconnect to it.
* Prefer Year extracted from track's metadata when displaying track properties.
! Fixed:
 - broken playback stability on RK SoCs by removing RK SoC specific workaround as it can interfere with correctly working devices;
 - incorrect visualization of Mono track (RMS, Waveform) when playing with PCM -> DSD = On and Upmix = Off.
