Widget don't load if album cover image is square (1:1) about auxio

[Mischievous-Loner]

Well, now the original problem that the square cover art widget didn't load CAME BACK.
IT WORKED WHEN THE QUALITY WAS BAD I.e. previous canary.

[Mischievous-Loner]

@OxygenCobalt The latest canary app works perfectly for me.
Widget load perfectly.
Thank you.
Here's the latest bug report anyway.

@Mischievous-Loner seems like you're using a custom launcher, have you checked if it's a problem with the launcher?

[Book-reader]

I can reproduce this on an oppo A54s on ColorOS 13 with the default launcher & Auxio 3.5.2.
The widget does load with a square album cover when Auxio is floating but not otherwise.

Thanks for reporting this @Mischievous-Loner @Book-reader, will take a look

[Mischievous-Loner]

It's same with default device launcher

Can you please take a bug report from the APK in this file @Mischievous-Loner @Book-reader

Identified it @Book-reader, android can't handle widgets with bitmaps that are too big, and it seems like your device is erroring out when that happens. It only happens with non-1:1 covers I imagine because of the extra pixels added by them. I need to reduce the size limit. For now reduce the size of the covers in your music files and/or switch Settings -> Content -> Album covers back to fast.

[OxygenCobalt]

Care to try the APK in this ZIP file @Book-reader @Mischievous-Loner?

Auxio_Canary.zip

[Book-reader]

It still behaves the same (with fast album covers as well)

[OxygenCobalt]

Sorry, messed up the fix, try this @Book-reader @Mischievous-Loner

Auxio_Canary.zip

[Book-reader]

It is still the same
I also tested with the album cover as a 16k 16:9 png & a 16x16px png and the 16:9 image only worked in the debug build but the 1:1 failed on both the latest release & the debug
album covers are fast

16x16px album cover (same results on latest release & debug)

16:9 16k album cover (debug build)

16:9 16k album cover (latest release)

I also noticed that the album covers do not get refreshed in either build when pressing the rescan music button, the file has to be renamed

[OxygenCobalt]

Alright @Book-reader, my assumption is that this isn't a simple device-specific variation but instead your phone having the Android 12/13 bug where Android thinks the widget's album cover takes up far more space than it actually does. It only appeared in the newer versions since I added new widget layouts (which apparently makes Android think the bitmap is even bigger).

I can only mitigate this by drastically reducing album cover resolution, which will make it really blurry. I could also discard widget layouts until it all fits, at the cost of breaking the widget in some cases. I doubt either is desirable, but there's not much else that can be done. You could also look into trying to update your phone to newer versions without the bug, as it was fixed by google at some point.

[sakuranonamida]

Same happened with my phone (stock launcher, vivo y31, funtouch os 13(android 13))

[OxygenCobalt]

Can you try this @Book-reader @Mischievous-Loner @shashankmunda? I made the album cover size patch much more drastic:

Auxio_Canary.zip

[Book-reader]

The album cover does appear, but as you said is very blurry

[OxygenCobalt]

The album cover does appear, but as you said is very blurry

As I thought. This is indication that your phones ROM has not patched the bitmap size bug. There is nothing I can do

I can only assume at this point to basically just disable the covers on smaller widget forms as needed and make it progressively less usable.

[OxygenCobalt]

Try this @Book-reader @Mischievous-Loner @sakuranonamida?

Auxio_Canary.zip

[sakuranonamida]

Try this @Book-reader @Mischievous-Loner @sakuranonamida?

Auxio_Canary.zip

Still the same and it doesn't work:(

[OxygenCobalt]

Confusing, can you reproduce the bug and then take a bug report afterwards @sakuranonamida?

I might have uploaded the wrong build, trying again @shashankmunda @Mischievous-Loner @Book-reader

Auxio_Canary.zip

If it still doesn't work, reproduce and then immediately take a bug report again.

[Mischievous-Loner]

Sorry for not replying, was really busy with work.
The above Auxio_Canary works perfectly for me.
Thank you very much.
👏🏼🫡

[Mischievous-Loner]

But widget album art image quality is poor in canary.
I have enabled high quality album art in both the apps.

Thoe this problem is not a priority for me.

[OxygenCobalt]

Whoops, I forgot about the downsizing I did in prior attempts to patch this.

Try this @shashankmunda @Mischievous-Loner @Book-reader?

Weird, can you please reproduce the issue on the latest APK and then immediately take a bug report so I can get more info @Mischievous-Loner?

[Mischievous-Loner]

[Mischievous-Loner]

rectangular cover loads while square one doesn't.
It worked in your previous debug but image was crap.

[OxygenCobalt]

Okay @Mischievous-Lone @sakuranonamida @Book-reader, try this out. I'm 90% sure this wont work, so please reproduce the error if it exists and send a new bug report. I need the logs to figure out why my mitigation is failing.

Auxio_Canary.zip

[Mischievous-Loner]

As you said this doesn't work.
Here's the bug report-
https://mega.nz/file/FmZB3TgL#zd2Bl7d7vWJ9AZ1GYwnBVolQkYElPBZi789Jg3ap78Y

[OxygenCobalt]

So that was apparently never the bug I was looking for @Mischievous-Loner.

I think it's actually simple: I scale down the image to fit under the limit assuming a square image (since the widgets were written before allowing non-square covers). This is now inadequate since non-square covers can still exceed the size limit.

I have to find a way to first see the dimensions of the cover and then dynamically change how it's resized to ensure that it fits under the limit reasonably. This is going to be frustrating and requires some dependency work, so hold tight @sakuranonamida @Book-reader @Mischievous-Loner

[OxygenCobalt]

Try this @Mischievous-Loner @Book-reader @sakuranonamida, again no guarantees

Auxio_Canary.zip

[Mischievous-Loner]

Now Widget doesn't load regardless of the dimensions of the cover image.
Previously at least the rectangular ones worked.
There was no such bug till version 3.3.3

[OxygenCobalt]

Okay, at this point I am going crazy and just increasing the reduction alongside adding some new debug info to this build @sakuranonamida @Book-reader @Mischievous-Loner

Auxio_Canary.zip

Your build displays the maximum bitmap memory I should see from your device up at the top above the songs/albums/artists/genres/playlists tabs. I know the one it actually is: 6912000. If it differs, that means your OEM modified that code and that's why the widget fails. This is where the second part comes in, the text below the maximum memory is your make and model. If your image size differs, I am giving up and hard-coding in your device into the app with that bitmap limit and using that cap, since I cannot be bothered with how Huawei or Oppo or whatever decided to randomly mangle third party widgets.

[Book-reader]

the widgets do work in this version (but are blurry)

[OxygenCobalt]

Can you try the build from #828 (comment), reproduce the broken widget, and then take a bug report @Book-reader?

[Book-reader]

Here:
bugreport-CPH2273-TP1A.220905.001-2024-08-09-15-28-15.zip

[OxygenCobalt]

So it does differ on your device @Book-reader: 6912000 instead of 6670080. Regardless, I'm still scaling too much. I just have to fiddle with the reduction in size until I hit the maximum size I can go for that is still at least slightly high quality.

Try this out @Book-reader @Mischievous-Loner, it might be higher quality (or it might just crash again...)
Auxio_Canary.zip

[Mischievous-Loner]

This one too works for me.
Thoe I didn't notice any quality difference (maybe because of my trash display quality).
Do you still need crash logs from me?
Just a bit confused.

[Book-reader]

The album covers do look better in this version.

[OxygenCobalt]

Okay, I'm going to consider this issue 'solved' for now.
