I remember seeing new beta versions in 2021 almost every month with bug fixes and new features.
The last beta now dates from 6 months ago.
When I scroll thru this forum many minor glitches have popped up in the meantime, but also constant showstoppers (like the limitless FTP connections or the seeking problem (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,122427.msg1017460.html#msg1017460)) remain unfixed.
Yes seems like no developer reading anymore.
Hope they still reading secretly and something happen.
Just curious: are there any estimates how many users actively use the desktop version vs. the mobile version?
The Google Play store displays 1+ million downloads, but that's of course not the active user base.
or the seeking problem (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,122427.msg1017460.html#msg1017460))
I wonder if that's even fixable. It's not actually a bug, ogg container does not contain seek metadata, so making it seekable through network is a challenge.
Apparently VLC is able (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,15997.msg255738.html#msg255738) to do it.
Here's also an explanation how range transfers can be done via FTP (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2538613/is-there-anything-in-the-ftp-protocol-like-the-http-range-header).
Anyway, it's not just OGG seeking that doesn't work, it's also FLAC.
Instead of implementing a complex range FTP function, I'd rather simply transfer the whole file into RAM (probably with a changeable limit of x MB max. file size). Then seeking shouldn't be a problem at all.

I just saw a light at the end of the tunnel (https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Version_2.1_Preview_Change_Log):
Improved FTP playback & listing, fewer connections used.Now all that's needed are new (beta) builds for the mobile version.
New beta builds soon.
I'm finalizing work on transferring various technology from desktop foobar2000 2.0 to Android/iOS.
Awesome, thank you so much!
New beta builds soon.
Awesome! Thank you.

Did you encounter difficulties that prevent the release of a new beta build?
Or am I just too impatient?
I read the "soon" as "a matter of a few days" - just wondering since almost a week has passed.
New beta released as standalone APK-
