Move everything over to the media3 library instead of ExoPlayer.
Media3 is worse in every way. It labels half of ExoPlayer as "unsafe"
because it thinks that it's garbage uwu "helpful" abstractions are
perfectly servicable when in reality they are a pile of garbage filled
with insane performance issues, race conditions, and a seeming lack
of awareness to the sheer absurdity of android's media APIs. It is
absolutely horrible, but ExoPlayer will stop being maintained soon
and I will have to move over for further maintenance.
Fix an issue where stripping of the FFMpeg extension would not occur,
as AGP would try to default to an entirely different NDK version.
Eventually I'm considering just vendoring the FFMpeg extension outright
once I can upstream some of the ExoPlayer patches.
Move the ExoPlayer build process into gradle by leveraging some shell
scripting and submodule magic.
This more or less kills all windows compatibility, but that is fine.
Who even develops on windows?
FINALLY update to MDC 1.7.0. After over half a year.
I have been continually blocked by doing this due to this absurd ripple
bug that was so continually frustrating. Today, I finally figred out
how to hack a fix in by using R E F L E C T I O N and manually
disabling the bugged code path since google apparently can't be bothered
to fix it.
Now, you might wonder why I didn't update to 1.8.0. That is because
there is ANOTHER RIPPLE BUG. THIS TIME WITH THE TAB LAYOUT. AND ONLY IF
IT'S IN A COLLAPSING TOOLBAR LAYOUT. Can't wait to finally use the new
1.8.0 features in December!
Use dependency injection with Coil.
This allows me to use the coil-base artifact which should remove a bit
of superfluous dexcode, assuming dagger uses less. It probably doesn't.
Finally give up and use Room to persist the playback state.
This should make dependency injection much easier, and the
implementation isn't exactly the *worst*, as I was already using
"raw" data structures for the old queue database.
Manually use our own navigation graph in the new settings view.
This avoids a crash that occurs with the default preferences navigation
(on some devices) where the differing app IDs between debug and release
makes it so that the fragments cannot be found. Because you know.
Android.
Unify the "Show Covers" and "Ignore MediaStore Covers" settings under an
new "Album covers" setting.
This will make it easier to extend to new forms of album cover
collection.
Add caching of already-parsed tag data.
This greatly reduces loading times when the music library has not
changed. This completes the music loader in it's entirety now.
Resolves#207.
