Hiby R1 1.8.2bh Queue Feature
Hi all,
Hope it's okay to post this here. But I was pretty disappointed with the lack of a queue feature on the Hiby R1 so I started trying to create a custom firmware to add it.
Noting right out of the gate, that I am not at all a developer, this was created entirely through ai assisted coding.
Please proceed and use with that in mind and at your own risk. I have however tested this extensively on my own device!
I've primarily tested it in the manner in which I listen to music. That being Albums end to end, with a song I might think of, slipped in mid way.
The patch is fairly basic, it replaces the "Properties" button in the triple dot menu of a track with a "Play Next" button. This will queue the song to play immediately after the current track. You can then go and do this on another track. This new track will then play immediately after the previously queued track.
After the queued tracks are finished playing it will then play what would have been the next song in the sequence, if you're listening in album order, otherwise it just shuffles to the next song. There's currently a limit of 32 queued tracks in a row.
I'm currently working on adding in a way to view the current queue, rearrange it, as well as clear it. There are also the occasional bugs with what album art get's loaded.
Also noting there is currently a bug with the album art of the first queued track persisting. I'm currently working on a fix for this also!
You can find a download to the r1.upt file at the github below.
Noting very clearly this is only for 1.8b2.

Feel free to leave any suggestions you might have.
Thanks!
Edit:
Happy to say the album art issue has been resolved now and is updated in the v1.2 release :)
