Some small quality of life improvements for network streaming
Posted: 18 Mar 2024 22:09
Hello,
First and most importantly thanks for the work you've put into this app. I have some suggestions for a future release.
In the "Open Network Stream" page, it would be helpful if the layout was simplified and instead of having the URL entry/Private Playback/Scan for Subtitles section on a separate frame, it was instead on the same frame as the url bookmarks and placed at the end of the list. The reason being, the current uppper frame takes a large amount of screen space and if the phone happens to be in a horizontal orientation makes selecting bookmarks very difficult.
In older releases when one selected bookmark, it would play immediately. In newer releases, if one is already playing a bookmark you must double tap the next bookmark to change to the new station. I think the older behavior was more intuitive.
Currently, when playing a live network stream, when the control center is accessed you have ability to stop the stream and go back or forward 10 seconds. Most live streams do not allow skipping forward or back within the stream, so a suggestion would be to allow the user to move forward or back within the bookmarked stations.This would also be great when the phone is locked and you just want to change the station.
Thanks for your time in reading these suggestions.
