MPoD version 1.4 is available from the AppStore. New features and fixes in this release:

  • Directly browse the mpd structure. This was the most requested feature for MPoD. As result you now have to option to either use the local cache, or get data directly from the server.
  • Use local cover art that is shared through http. By sharing your music folder on the MPD server over http, MPoD can pick up cover art from the folder of the currently playing track. This is in addition to the Amazon based cover art;
  • Improved streaming (on-the-go mode) through the use of the RadioKit SDK from Stormy Productions. Stopping and pausing of a stream works better, plus there is visual feedback on when MPoD is connecting/buffering;
  • Simplified streaming settings;
  • Show information on current bitrate;
  • Fix cover art problems for timezones far away from GMT;
  • Some small bugfixes.

MPoD v1.4 – unexpected problems

Functionality wise v1.4 of MPoD is ready. This version has 3 major improvements:

  • use local cover art that is shared through http;
  • directly browse the mpd structure;
  • improved streaming (on-the-go mode).

Unfortunately the move I made to SDK 3.0 has made the application unstable, and it crashes a lot all of sudden, looks like its due to memory shortage. I’m thinking about how to handle this, but it at least means that it will take more time before the 1.4 version can be released.

  • displaying the filename when the title tag is missing;
  • MPoD can detect when the mpd database has changed and reload its cache;
  • bugfixes in connection settings screen.
