Fowty Dollaz Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So the functionality seems great! The only thing I can't seem to figure out is how to view my own collection. I don't see an option for it. Obviously I should know what is in my collection, but sometimes I do not. When I view items that I know are in my collection, the app does not indicate it. Otherwise, I like the format of the app and the searchability of Discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Nice job. Be nice if you could set the homescreen to your profile instead of browsing new submissions esbe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 so I finally DL this and I may like it. but the uncategorized folder that I deleted, keeps popping back up. so I have 1 folder that I created and the empty uncategorized folder that I don't need, but when I delete it comes back... also, tried to scan Foo Fighters Greatest Hits and it did not recognize...

Androiddiscogs Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's on a tablet using my wifi and the button registers that I've pressed it but nothing more happens So you already have an account and try to login with discogs but doesn't work? Can you give me your tablet model? I'll try to investigate that... Sorry about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other user was suggesting also to show on the artist page all the releases you own. We will try to add this soon! Thanks for the feedback!

It's impossible to delete this uncategorized folder. It's a rule from discogs api I'm sorry we forgot to remove the delete button on this folder! For the search you should see the same result than on the discogs website no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So you already have an account and try to login with discogs but doesn't work? Can you give me your tablet model? I'll try to investigate that... Sorry about that! Yes correct, I also have the Discogs App on there so I wonder if that might be the problem? The Discogs app I'm assuming is logged in all the time? It's a cheap Chinese Tablet, an Allwinner but I don't know which model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 so you cant delete nor change the name of the folder? Not that big of a deal, just silly. And not sure what you mean the same result as the website? Yes, when I search for it with the search bar on the app, it pulls up the same info that's on the website, but im talking about using the barcode scanner. White Stripes Get Behind Me Satan worked, but Foo Fighters Greatest Hits did not pull anything up when I tried to use the barcode scanner.

If they incorrectly/ inaccurately enter the barcode or there isn't one at all (many releases don't have it listed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 ahhhhhhhhh, makes sense. The scanner is the main reason I liked it, and my luck, all my records would be the ones with non existent/wrong barcodes on discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTacoMunster Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 as weird as this might sound, I could totally see myself doing just that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 as weird as this might sound, I could totally see myself doing just that... fair enough. No judgement. I've probably entered numerous matrix numbers/ barcodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 What do you want to see from your profile? Your releases numbers? Stats? Or your collection? Your collection I guess? I suppose it doesn't really matter, I just have no interest in seeing the Explore page, if I am using the app it'll be to look up something specific, not browse what's newly added.

MahPah Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Been waiting for a good Android Discogs app. Excited to test it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Androiddiscogs Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 fair enough. No judgement. I've probably entered numerous matrix numbers/ barcodes. Some one has to do it but yes sometimes very popular vinyl don't have barcode... I hope one day discogs will extend its API to allow us from the app to input them. But on 10 records probably 8 will work and you can be sure it's the exact same release that you have in your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it doesn't really matter, I just have no interest in seeing the Explore page, if I am using the app it'll be to look up something specific, not browse what's newly added. I first designed the app like this because I like also to see my records. But then I realized that a big proportion of the users don't maintain their collection on discogs. So I didn't want to show them an empty screen. Maybe we can add an option for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangsAnalSatan Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I've tried to use this app a few times and everytime I try and search for something it says there are no entries in the database. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 so tried to barcode my records last night, I would say it works more like 4 out of 10. Sometimes it wouldnt focus correctly to scan it, and even if it was 100 % clear it wouldnt even detect a barcode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I doing wrong? That's strange.... What exactly did you try to search ? if you type a famous name like "jackson" you have no result also ? Do you have any releases on the home page ? Could you please give me your android version / phone model please ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it wouldnt focus correctly to scan it, and even if it was 100 % clear it wouldnt even detect a barcode... Yes sometimes the barcode scanner library bugs :/ I fixed a few bugs already in the last version. But sometimes I still have to kill the app and relaunch it... Some times it's easier to just type the name in the search field. You should see suggestions with the releases you are looking for. Thanks for your feedback and sorry about that.

Regnimalia Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 A major pet peeve of mine is trying to sign in via Facebook, but the app takes me to the Facebook mobile website instead of the Facebook app. Which is what happened here. Other than that no complaints so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Androiddiscogs Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 It looks like I was using the complete wrong app! My mistake! But now that I have used it; it has ads! Boo! ahah I renamed it to MyDiscogs because the name was misleading. Another app had exactly the same name. About the ads, I didn't want to put ads inside the app. So there is only one when you start it, and then not a single ad for 2 hours !
