SwarmFM player app

[cyan terrace]

Hello there!

I created this simple audio player app using flutter that streams directly from the new SwarmFM website (https://player.sw.arm.fm/)

The goal of this project is to allow anyone that is busy doing their daily chores and wants to listen to this WICKED radio on the go! Since the Youtube channel came out I always wanted to listen to it while working, but couldn't. So if anyone had this problem here's the solution!

You can find the repository here: https://github.com/Kurokatana94/swarm-fm-app

• Android Version 1.2.1: here
• **iOS ** Version 1.2.1: here
  (for iOS I could not test it properly not having anything that uses their os, if there's issues please let me know and I'll try to fix them as best as I can)

Licence for source code: MIT

  (if I miss anyone that I'm not aware of, please let me know and I'll add them)

+50mb i was expecting at least 3 viruses flutter sucks

But thanks for your service

[errant viper]

didn't someone already make something similar to this?

[cyan terrace]

Someone did make another version of a similar app that they published in the SwarmFM discord few weeks ago yeah, when I found out about it I was almost done with this, so I just published it anyway. They're not the same, and have a different goal/approach on it

Patch with new version is live!
(check description, for updated v1.0.1 download links)

The app doesn't work for me. I'm on Android. Whenever I click the pay button, nothing happens.

[errant viper]

@cyan terrace have you updated the app to be compatible with the new way that the swarmfm player delivers stuff?

actually wait is it just audio or audio + video?

[fresh narwhal]

Audio and video. I didn't even know there was supposed to be a video.

[errant viper]

hmmm

[fresh narwhal]

Also I got the latest version of the app.

[errant viper]

also there was an old app for swarmfm on the desktop player, perhaps that should be converged together?

[errant viper]

it technically supports android but from what I heard it's a bit of a workaround

[fresh narwhal]

Ah, so it's probably a lost clause?

[errant viper]

yeah

[fresh narwhal]

Oh well... You said there's a desktop version, so I'll probably use that in the morning.

[errant viper]

this one works on desktop I think

oh seems to work everywhere but then why not just use smth like tauri

[errant viper]

actually I just remembered

the audio server is currently down for some reason

so you won't be getting that anytime soon

I think?

[fresh narwhal]

Dang

[cyan terrace]

That might be the case, yesterday it was working fine after the update, but now even the swarmfm website is dead.

[errant viper]

Yeah the audio server is currently under surgery I think

[cyan terrace]

Unless they'll change the architecture, I guess I'll wait until it's up and running again to see if it works

[errant viper]

oh it just respawned

try now

[cyan terrace]

With hls up again it's working

[errant viper]

mhm

[cyan terrace]

Would add/create a desktop version be useful? I potentially could, but I don't really see the use case when you can just open it in your browser

[errant viper]

sharky's swarmfm player was for that, and from what I heard there were some users

[cyan terrace]

Small update to fix recent changes done to the stream files. It won't be synched to the website until I look further into it, but it still will play music even thou just randomly

[cyan terrace]

Updated to version 1.1.0 for both iOS and Android.
Now you're able to switch between stream-synched HLS service and Shuffle (randomizing song played from the entire library)

[cyan terrace]

New smol update that adds song info in the notification player (artist, song name, singer)

[cyan terrace]

Version 1.2.0 is live!

Now with fixed and working Shuffle functionality and most importantly Live Chat integration!

The live chat works properly, but the emote selector when loading the 7tv tab can be a bit unstable at times, if you see it failing to load emotes try switching it back and forth few times. If it crashes the app thou, I'd avoid to open it (but with my latest tests it didn't crash anymore for me).

To be able to send messages you'll have to login in the settings.
Important : read the instructions that will popup and follow them for it to work
