Hey! Do you know how and where to fix this? I have modded my own ViMusic, and I'm wondering where and how to change the API. |
|
i have my own fork, correct. I copied everything from your fork into mine and it still says "Unknown" |
|
@zyqunix hmm weird, for me this works without any problems, you have a repo somewhere I can take a look at? have you actually rebuilt and reinstalled (dumb question i know, but just making sure)? only other thing I could think of is that theres somehow differences in the api you get vs what I see, maybe regional? |
|
I don't have an actual repo on github, but i can make one if you want. I'm using Android Studio with the newest updates too. If you need to contact me outside of GitHub, just tell me, but I also want to help other people find their solutions here. |
|
the rep is here: https://github.com/zyqunix/ZyMusic |
|
@zyqunix seems like ur missing the changes in |
|
oh okay, thank you a LOT |
|
@LlinksRechts |
|
@zyqunix honestly I don't know if I can really help you here then - I compiled your version (with the 2 additional lines in the file I mentioned) and it works perfectly fine for me... maybe its the specific album you're using? which one is that so I can try? |
|
I really hope the maintainer sees this, since this is a breaking change. I do not mind if an app doesn't update all that much, but this is something you cannot really ignore. |
|
@LlinksRechts i just pressed a random The Weeknd album on the start, i can also try building it into an app and installing it on my phone. |
|
@LlinksRechts could you send the apk you built? |
|
Why don't they just add updates I don't know how to code this stuff |
me neither 😭😭 |
If you get it send to me please |
|
@LlinksRechts i do not have telegram. i have discord or instagram however. zyqunix on discord and zyq_un on instagram. |
i could send you my custom app with more colors if i build it. it's the same name, but a different logo. also the font was changed to Lexend, which is easier to read for dyslexic people. read the comment above if you want to add me on either of those platforms |
|
Hello, I am having the same problem and I know NOTHING about code, any help? |
|
@linfan18REAL @ChubbyLlama scroll all the way up to the top to the description, download apk (app-release.zip), install on phone |
|
I actually still got the problem, basically when I try to download/update the zip, it says that there's a conflict with an existing pack |
yes I installed the apk from the given link on this thread but anyways I found a new app now called InnerTune. |
|
Thanks, I solved the problem, what I did was backup my ViMusic, uninstall, download the zip and last restore my data and now it all works perfectly. |
Thanx a lot for sharing your work. @vfsfitvnm Could you consider merging this PR or maybe give @LlinksRechts some additional rights on this repo to maintain it? |
Hi.. I might ask something silly but I am not a super pro with programming, pc and stuff.. btw I did the backup (beacause I'd like to install the new release you posted) but I'm having trouble in opening the db file the backup generated.. when opening, it asks me for username and password that I don't have. Could you/anyone please explain me what to do? |
|
@frafra3110 are you importing the backup in the app? (settings -> database -> restore) |
|
@LlinksRechts thank you.. I don't know what was the issue.. I just had to repeat the restoring.. it didn't worked the first time. thank you though! |
…Credits to LlinksRechts @ vfsfitvnm#1654.
I reinstalled Vimusic from the link and it worked. Remember to export your database first |
|
Thank you very much for working to solve these problems, It's a shame that the developers are no longer updating the app. |
|
I suggest switching to https://github.com/fast4x/RiMusic, as this is an actively maintained fork. It's also available on FDroid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/it.fast4x.rimusic/ |
|
It's simply great that the community itself is always on the lookout for bug fixes that arise over time. Hopefully one day the developer(s) will come back to work on this app. |
|
Tested now and it works! Very great! |
About a week ago, youtube apparently changed it's api, breaking a lot of apps like this one (see #1632, #1652, #1650, #1649, #1648, #1647, #1646, #1645, #1644, #1643, #1640, #1638, #1636, #1634, #1639); this is a rather quick-and-dirty fix to extract playlist/album info after this api change.
For everyone that cannot wait until this gets merged (if it does) and can't build the app themselves:

DISCLAIMER
You will not be able to install this over an existing install from eg. f-droid because this apk is not signed and I don't have the keys to do so. You should be able to uninstall and then install this version, but note that ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE GONE, so back up before.

Update 2024-06-30:
The problem was there also for the song list of an artist - this is fixed now too.
Update 2024-07-04:
As @ andietablante18 pointed out, artist names were not shown in song search results; this now works again as well.
Update 2024-07-07:
Old databases may contain cached information scraped using the wrong api format and are thus still displayed as 'Unknown'; this patch now updates these albums as they are loaded. Thanks @ KingK2-gif for the reproducing example.
