chrisuthe/SendSpinDroid v1.0.21

v1.0.21 - Low Memory Mode

on GitHub

New Feature

Low Memory Mode

New setting in Settings → Performance → Low Memory Mode for devices with limited RAM or when you don't need the UI.

When enabled:

• Album artwork is skipped (uses placeholder)
• Audio buffer reduced from 32 MB to 8 MB (~40 sec buffer)
• Coil ImageLoader not initialized
• Palette color extraction skipped

Expected savings: 75-545 MB depending on image cache usage

Best for:

• Controlling playback exclusively from Music Assistant server
• Devices with limited memory
• Background-only operation

Restart Required

When toggling the setting, a dialog appears with "Restart Now" or "Later" options since the buffer size change requires an app restart.

Technical Details

• UserSettings.lowMemoryMode property added
• SendSpinClient.getBufferCapacity() returns 8 MB or 32 MB based on mode
• Artwork loading skipped in PlaybackService.fetchArtwork() and onArtwork()
• Palette extraction skipped in MainActivity.extractAndApplyColors()
