Hello community, today I want to present to you the work done on Tempo in recent months. This new version brings improvements to Android Auto, a first use of the OpenSubsonic API, synchronized song lyrics and the ability to customize the home screen.
As usual, Tempo is free and open source, by the community and for the community. You can follow the development on Github and you can download it from F-Droid as well.
If you appreciate the work put into Tempo, remember that you can star the project on Github or make a donation! It’s not much but it’s useful to help the project grow and give visibility to the app.
Super excited for this one! Thank you so much
So, have you tried it already? :D
Yes sir! <3
Nice! And how do you like it? Anything that’s missing or not working for you? :)
It works flawlessly. Chefs kiss. I haven’t gotten a chance to use much of the lyrics feature yet. I am on bike now a days, so not able to sing along.
But I am going on road trip(car) soon and my friends and I will be singing our hearts out. This time we won’t have to keep on looking up the lyrics after the song changes 😂😂.
However, I would love to see the following 2 options
To see lyrics by default. Right now , I need to click on the current playing song at the bottom of the screen, then click on the lyrics button. It would be great if I could customise it to always show lyrics.
Disable timestamps appearing on each line of lyrics.
One more question, are you the developer ? 🙈
That’s great to hear! Just make sure you have all the lyrics set up in Jellyfin before you start the road trip, Finamp only fetches from the server and not from any other websites :)
There will probably come some changes to the lyrics interaction, I’m also not a fan of the current setup. Toggling between lyrics or the cover seems doable.
Customizations for the lyrics, like hiding the timestamp and centering, is definitely planned. Maybe I can even fit it into the next update!
And yes, I’m the current maintainer of Finamp, since the original creator is currently busy with uni. They’re still around though, and there also are some awesome contributors helping out with a ton of stuff!
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. I’ll try to reply in less than two days xD
Oh superb that’s great to hear. I am not a developer but I am good at documentation. Is there anything that needs edition from documentation stand point, please feel free to let me know. I will be more than happy to help you with such tasks.
And thank you so much for your efforts ❤️❤️
Hmm, my goal with the app is to not require an external documentation, I’d like to make it straight-forward enough to use as it is.
The only thing we really need would be developer documentation, but I’m not sure if you can help with that, especially since you don’t know the codebase.
If you can think of something else to contribute, or if you want to add a basic GitHub wiki for the most common functionality and issues, I’m happy to discuss things further!
