CarDash 1.2.0 — Jellyfin

kkazakov 1 Minggu lalu | 25 melakukan main sejak rilis ini

CarDash 1.2.0 adds an optional, fully in-app Jellyfin music source.

Package: com.wasp.cardash_launcher
Version: 1.2.0 (versionCode 20)
ABIs: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64 (universal APK)
Signing: project debug key matching all prior releases
SHA-256: cd8e7de1225dc9caa04d7caffe0d254db79f1bb0af872d5437f90adeab784acf

Jellyfin

New optional Jellyfin Home button after Music and before Radio. It is enabled in Settings → General → Home buttons and stays disabled/off until the integration is configured. It counts toward the 16-button cap and has no long-press action.
Jellyfin dashboard with Albums / Artists (Artists disabled for now):
- Recently played derived from played tracks across Jellyfin devices,
- Recently added albums,
- Random albums from up to five grouped genre families (Metal, Rock, Jazz, Pop, Folk and so on; Cyrillic and variant tags are grouped), with a refresh button and an automatic re-roll after you start a Random album.
Six cards per row when they fit, five otherwise. Album names and artists are aligned to the album art's left edge.
Album page: top-aligned large cover, track list with the current track highlighted, tap-to-play, previous/play-pause/next, and the volume/mute controls.
Home Jellyfin tile subtitle shows Artist — Album, clipped to the rounded button width so long titles cannot break the shortcut grid.
Music and Jellyfin equalizers are exclusive: Jellyfin animates its own tile while it plays; the Music tile only animates for another app.

Playback

Media3 1.11.1 playback inside CarDash, not a hand-off to the Jellyfin app.
Background playback through a mediaPlayback foreground service.
Media notification (Android 13+ requires the optional Allow row in Settings → Jellyfin; playback works without it).
Hardware/Bluetooth media keys, play/pause from the Home ring and album page.
Audio focus: pauses and keeps its position when another app takes over; resumes after a short transient interruption only if it was playing; stops at the end of the album.
Reports start/progress/stop to Jellyfin so the server sees CarDash as the player and recently played updates.

Compatibility

Android 10+ (minSdk 29), landscape tablet-first.
Jellyfin 12.x; verified against Jellyfin 12.2. Quick Connect is the only sign-in path. The access token is stored in Keystore-backed storage and never placed in a URL or log.

Verified

134 Dart unit/widget tests (flutter analyze clean).
Android 14 emulator at 1280×800 and 1024×600: Quick Connect, grouped genres, 6/5-card dashboard, album page, track tap, previous/next, background playback, notification actions, hardware media keys, exclusive equalizers, audio-focus handover with Chrome, Random re-shuffle, Home title/progress and the clipped tile subtitle.
Jellyfin 12.2 real server and a local 12.2 container. Testing against the real account marked a few played tracks/albums, which is expected Jellyfin playback-reporting behavior.

Not in 1.2.0

Artists tab/artist browsing, offline library/downloads, data-aware streaming quality and queue persistence across process death. See docs/JELLYFIN_1.2.0_PLAN.md for the future work list.

CarDash 1.0.7 — Truly disable Impeller

kkazakov 1 Minggu lalu | 33 melakukan main sejak rilis ini

CarDash 1.0.7 fixes the emulator crash when opening Settings.

Package: com.wasp.cardash_launcher
Version: 1.0.7 (versionCode 19)
ABIs: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64
Signing: project debug key matching all prior releases

Root cause

The EnableImpeller=false opt-out was under <activity>. Flutter silently ignores that key there, so CarDash had actually been running Impeller.
On the 1024×600 SwiftShader emulator, opening Settings killed the emulator process.
1.0.7 moves the key to <application>. The app now uses Skia as intended. The Flutter log reports the Impeller opt-out instead of “Using the Impeller rendering backend”.

Verified on the Android 14 / 1024×600 SwiftShader emulator

Fresh install, open Settings: stays alive.
Grant Bluetooth permission: stays alive.
Bluetooth off → Open Bluetooth settings → enable Bluetooth → return to CarDash: stays alive.
Tap Find and reopen the card: stays responsive.

Includes

All 1.0.6 Bluetooth/OBD hardening: binder calls off the main thread, adapter filtering, bounded retries and the Retry connection action.

CarDash 1.0.6 — Bluetooth/OBD freeze hardening

kkazakov 1 Minggu lalu | 38 melakukan main sejak rilis ini

CarDash 1.0.6 hardens the Bluetooth OBD-II path after a freeze that could occur after returning from Android Bluetooth settings.

Package: com.wasp.cardash_launcher
Version: 1.0.6 (versionCode 18)
ABIs: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64
Signing: project debug key matching all prior releases
SHA-256: 180050ad7cb7db88b4e253d748e49dedb380f0ed11acad743c39b4f925e9afed

What changed

All Bluetooth binder work now runs on a serialized native worker, never the Android main thread. Dart-side timeouts keep a wedged Bluetooth stack from freezing the UI.
The OBD-II picker defaults to devices that look like OBD-II adapters. Show all paired devices reveals phones, headsets and other bonded devices for unusual adapters.
Connection attempts are limited to three with a 12 s connect watchdog. After that the card shows Retry connection and does not auto-retry on every resume.
Returning from Bluetooth settings checks the adapter power state and reuses the cached paired-device list instead of querying it every time.
The OBD worker closes sockets off the main thread and cannot create a new socket after a stop.

Please test

Turn Bluetooth off, open OBD-II → Open Bluetooth settings, turn Bluetooth on, then return to CarDash.
Open and close the OBD-II card, tap Find and Retry connection a few times.
If it freezes again, note whether it happened inside Android Settings or after returning to CarDash.

CarDash 1.0.5 — volume diagnostics

kkazakov 1 Minggu lalu | 39 melakukan main sejak rilis ini

CarDash 1.0.5 adds an on-screen volume diagnostic readout for car head units that ignore Android volume writes.

Package: com.wasp.cardash_launcher
Version: 1.0.5 (versionCode 17)
ABIs: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64
Signing: project debug key matching all prior releases
SHA-256: d3fcd888d4b742a3c636d65126c9d0e4a9550a0d04db0eceef9cd6a18be0fcc2

What it adds

Long-press the Media volume label on Home to toggle a small diagnostics panel.
The panel shows the raw index/max, the fixed-volume flag, every Android audio stream level, and the target/actual result of the last volume write.
The same values are written to logcat under the CarDashVolume tag.

For the volume issue

If the panel shows fixed true, Android is delegating volume to the vehicle amplifier and an app cannot change it.
If it shows fixed false and write n -> 100, the head unit is rejecting the stream write. Please send a screenshot of the panel and, if possible, adb logcat -s CarDashVolume.

CarDash 1.0.4 — car volume fix

kkazakov 1 Minggu lalu | 40 melakukan main sejak rilis ini

CarDash 1.0.4 fixes volume control on car dashboards that report a fixed media volume.

Package: com.wasp.cardash_launcher
Version: 1.0.4 (versionCode 16)
ABIs: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64
Signing: project debug key matching the 1.0.0–1.0.3 releases
SHA-256: d26e5a3bd98c38e639edebea92e0e165da8245eccaca14973eb549569e6b6a5e

Changes

Detect Android's fixed-volume policy (AudioManager.isVolumeFixed). On these car units the vehicle amplifier owns the level, so CarDash disables the misleading 100% slider and shows Volume is controlled by the car.
On units that ignore absolute setStreamVolume writes but accept the hardware-key path, CarDash now retries with relative adjustStreamVolume steps.
Fixed-volume units no longer consume the hardware volume keys; they pass through to the car so its normal volume control keeps working.
Software volume changes are ignored when the system reports fixed volume, preventing the slider from snapping back to 100%.

Changes

Settings now has separate OBD-II, Speed and Temperature cards. The OBD-II card contains adapter settings only.
Speed has a show/hide switch for the Home card. While an OBD-II adapter is selected, Use OBD-II for speed chooses OBD-II or GPS; off selects GPS.
Temperature has a show/hide switch for the row below the clock. While an OBD-II adapter is selected, Use OBD-II for temperature chooses OBD-II or GPS + Open-Meteo weather.
The long-press hint is visible only for the first ten minutes after a fresh installation and never returns. Upgraded installs are migrated to expired.
Fresh installs start with temperature off; existing OBD-II/weather installations keep their previous temperature choice.
