[x] [1740] A problem with how the "file information" option displays in AIMP

[bx0zkMGiSxfaVyBkZBSx]

Thank you for this brilliant app!

A big upgrade from the previous music player I was using, Hiby. AIMP has bookmarks, I'm able to skip forward and backwards, and can speed up the playback of podcasts. Most importantly, this was the only music player I found that allowed me to program all the button pushes on my headphones exactly in the way I wanted.

Thank you again.

There is one small issue that I have. The "file information" option. On almost every podcast that has an entry in this field, the information that is shown is a mix of what looks like Mandarin, Hebrew and emojis. It should be in English. If I open the same mp3 file in the Omnia music player, the file information displays perfectly. There is only one podcast that I listen to where the file information displays correctly. I have posted some images below.

Perhaps you can tell me if I am doing something wrong, or what I might change to get the file information to display correctly, or if it is simply a bug in the software?

It's not a big thing, but it may be there is an easy solution for me; or that for you, it is something you're not aware of and would like to know about.

Thanks once more for the brillaint app!

I had a quick look around the forum, but could not see anything similar to my issue. I have updated the app and am using the most up-to-date version, but still the same problem.

Thanks, I'll fix the issue in September's update.

That's great. I will look out for it.

I updated the app before making my post and saw that you had introduced a new feature that highlights the currently playing track. That's very helpful to me. Some of the podcasts I listen to are not numbered and I can lose track of where I am. I used to look at the playlength to work out which was which.

Boss stuff!

Despite the fact that a highlight feature has appeared in the music library, the playlist still controls playback. Accordingly, the playback order may not match what you see in the music library.

I tried the new update. It partially worked and partially did not. The text is now displayed as English/Latin characters and I can read it. But, the formatting instructions are displayed in the text and not followed, instead of not being displayed by the text and used as instructions as to how to display the text. That may not be the clearest explanation, so the image below should make clear what I mean.

The Omnia music player is able to display the text without the formatting instructions. Perhaps there is something you can do?

Also, can I make a suggestion for a new feature? I have begun using wireless headphones. What often happens when fiddling about with the controls, is that I accidently skip to a new track and lose my place in the podcast I was listening to. I then have to skip back and try to work out where I was. A first world problem, but a bit of a pfafff. Would you be able to include a feature that automatically bookmarks the position of the track you were listening to, (if that track is longer than say five minutes), every time you skip forward to a new track? That way instead of needing to manually find my postion in the previous track, (a big annoyance when the podcast is three hours long), I could just use the automatically created bookmark. This could be an option that people can turn on or turn off as they need.

If it's not possible to do anything about displaying the text or this suggested new feature, not a problem, I can read the text now, so a nice improvement.

I'm sure this all takes a lot of time and effort to develop. Thank you for the great app!

Yes, AIMP always displays lyrics as a plain text, it does not supports for HTML / Markdown formatting. I will improve this moment in v4.50 beta.

Its already implemented in app, refer to app settings \ bookmarks
