EDIT: If you are an Android user view the reply for the HF1 (Hotfix 1) release notes.
v0.15.1 is now available on all platforms! This update is focused on fixes and some light improvements primarily for Android. This wave is almost all based on user feedback, most of the initial planned 0.15.1 was deferred to focus on stability and improvements.
A quick note on Android open testing: Google is still reviewing the build that lets new users join the open beta. If you already use Lagu on Android, nothing changes for you. Reviews seem slower on the Google Play side, so once open testing is live, its version may trail a little behind the other platforms, and the internal test.
The biggest change in this update is to the album and playlist pages on Android. As always, the full release notes are below. If you hit a problem or have a question, reply here or start a new thread.
What's new in 0.15.1
The first fix release of the open beta, built from your forum reports. Downloaded music on Android plays right again (correct length, cover art, lock-screen controls), album and playlist pages on Android are redrawn to match iPhone (their own colour, the big centred cover, a track search), desktop gets fullscreen and a scroll-wheel volume back, and the iPad's Now Playing art fills the screen.
Android phone
- Downloaded songs play at their real length (user reported). Songs downloaded at a capped quality showed 15 or 19 minutes, went silent after the real end, then repeated. They now show the true length, scrub correctly and end on time. Nothing to re-download.
- Lock-screen, notification and earbud controls survive a reopen (user reported). Swiping Lagu away and opening it again left the controls on a stale player. The player now stays alive across a reopen and the controls follow it.
- Downloaded playlist songs have cover art offline (user reported). Existing downloads fill in by themselves the next time you are online.
- "Can't reach your server right now. Your downloads still play." now shows when the server is down, not only when the phone is offline, with a Go to Downloads button on Home (user reported).
- Play and Shuffle on downloaded playlists and albums (feature request).
- Album, playlist and downloaded pages look like iPhone's. The cover sits centred and large with the full title under it (no more cut-off names), the artist is a tappable link, and the page shows "2018 · 14 songs · 49 min" plus the quality box ("FLAC · 24-bit / 44.1 kHz · 1,467 kbps"). Tablets keep the cover beside the text.
- Those pages wear their own colour. The page blooms to its own cover, fading as you scroll, like iPhone. The header scrolls with the list, the title moves into the bar, and the hard colour edge under the header is gone. Downloaded albums and playlists use the same page as the online ones.
- Find a song in a playlist or album (feature request). The search icon at the top filters the list as you type.
- Tap the cover for the description. The album or playlist description no longer sits as a paragraph under Play and Shuffle; tap the cover to read it, tap again to come back, as on iPhone.
- Keep synced and Remove download moved into the ⋯ menu on downloaded pages, and the per-row "128 kbps MP3" label is gone: the format is said once in the header, so titles get their width back.
- The Now Playing volume sliders match the seek bar. Phone, speaker and Lagu Remote volume share one thin track with the quiet and loud speaker icons, instead of the stock Material slider.
- Covers bloom their true colour. A cover with a dark text band (Lorde's Homemade Dynamite (REMIX)) bloomed teal; the bloom now reads the cover the way iPhone does, so a magenta sleeve blooms magenta. Phone and TV.
- The lock screen, Android Auto and a watch see the album for every song. Streamed and downloaded transcodes showed no album name.
- Offline lyrics copy. "No lyrics found" no longer blames Plex Pass when the real reason is that your server is not answering.
- Galaxy Watch controls (user reported). Android hid Samsung's watch plugin from Lagu's security check, which turned it away. The Galaxy Watch8 plugin is now allowed through. Please tell us if the watch still shows nothing.
iPhone and iPad
- iPad: landscape Now Playing art fills its column (user reported). The old size cap is gone when no panel is docked.
- iPad: the volume slider in the player bar sits on the speaker icon's axis.
- Find in Playlist and Find in Album. The magnifier next to ⋯ opens the search bar and filters the list as you type.
Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux)
- Fullscreen is back (bug report). F11 on Windows and Linux, View, Toggle Full Screen (Ctrl+Cmd+F) on macOS. Windows and Linux show an Exit full screen control in the title bar.
- Scroll the volume bar (feature request). The mouse wheel over the volume bar changes the volume 5 % per notch, the same step as Ctrl or Cmd with the arrow keys. The seek bar ignores the wheel on purpose.
Apple TV and Apple Watch ship the same version with no changes of their own.
