Transition between tracks isn't smooth

Issue description:

When clicking the foward (or backwards) button to change track, there’s about 1/2 seconds of stuttering while the new assets load. This is basically non existent if you swipe between tracks, since the cover is the most noticable piece that lags, and that is already loaded into position.
I will NOT upload the logs, since this is a very reproducable problem.

I’m using a Galaxy S21 FE, so I doubt the issue is my phone.

Really ? I know it’s hard to understand but no nothing is easily reproducable when there’s a millions different devices and a trillion settings in the app …

So yes I need the logs and the video you made showing exactly what happens.

When I write the logs are mandatory, it’s for a reason, thanks for the 20 seconds logs having to ask them again.

What can I say, have fun. https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/8FFcYaXmf355

(Yes, the logs and the video don’t match. I’ve force stopped the app to (I hope) minimize the log lenght. The behaviour is the same)

What lag do you see on the video ? The pager have a slowing down animation when settling so that’s expected.

Then I guess there is no issue. I ““expected”” a smoother transition for the cover art, like the one while swiping. https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/urSu8mE7BjPf

Basically I’d expect a consistent speed for the animations.

(Expected in quotes cause the app is already good as it is, this was just a very minor UI thing)

They are not the same animations.

One is a start middle end transition (imagine 3 curves) the other when doing it manually is just an end transition so single curve.

They have different purposes and chosen by Google Material team as supposedly the best to carry intentions.

I can see if they have common curves does both cases, but that would diverge from their choices.

Thanks for the quick responses and if you ever find yourself out of work, I guess look into this.

Apple Music just doesn’t have an animation.

Spotify does, but the cover stays the same shape, it just moves from one side to another.

You can already disable the transition in the cover settings :wink:

Thanks, I will probably stick to this. But the problem persists with everything else. Maybe you can make it so it doesn’t slow down, or maybe preloads the next background and whatever so that it doesn’t lag.

I don’t have lag on my devices, export your now playing style just in case so I can better see.

And do you have enabled the option Now playing color source in Theme settings ?

Yes, I have the “Dominant Colour” selected. Here’s the json file: Quick Share

With lagging, I actually mean stuttering (the pager slowing down to load stuff, as you said before). For me, even this is “bad” Quick Share

In the video there’s not a lot that stutters, but there’s something. Let’s look at the playing icon stuttering for half a second while loading. It doesn’t break the app by any means, but it’s a possible improvement.
