Hi. I did upload version for aarch64, armv7hl and i486. I compiled 0.8.1 ( latest one ) for sailfish os 5.1.0.11. As far as I remember, 5.1 had some changes related to gcc ( compilator ). If you are using older sailfish os, it might not work. You can try to manually install rpm file from my releases https://git.kiszczyc.pl/jakub/SubMusic/releases/tag/0.8.1 .
If you are using pre 5.1 sailfish os version and not planning / cannot update, I can compile for older version. 0.8 was compiled for older sailfish os and it should work without issues.

I'm on 5.1.0.11, so that shouldn't matter
Problem is the app tries to pull an aarch64 dependency i guess
I tried your file anyway and it doesn't install too
What i'm trying to do anyway, is run bandcamp on it, so maybe you already know if it works or not on it

I've compiled latest version for 5.0.0.62 ( 8.2+ ). Could you please check if you can install this app, or if its still showing errors while installing ?

I doubt that this will work, but feel free to test it. Some1 already asked about it on the forum https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/submusic-the-app/29337 and I am planning on touching this subject, but this might not happend soon. Since I never used bandcamp, I have no way to test fully it.
Are you getting any errors while trying to install this app ? `...Pull an aarch64 dependency...` I am quite new in sfos apps development and don't quite understand what it would need to pull. On fairphone 5 and sony 10 2 it works without any issues.

It is able to connect to my subsonic server and fetch list of starred songs, but then clicking play button does nothing.
I am able to play the song from android app so the server works

Hi. Thanks for reporting. Due to lack of time, I had to give up on this app for the time being. I am not sure if I'll be able to fix it anytime soon.
If you don't mind using older version, you can try to download older version https://git.kiszczyc.pl/jakub/SubMusic/releases, eg. 0.7 or 0.6. I use only starred songs and nothing else, so this feature should work.
Could you please write your architecture here ? Might be useful for future fixes. I only have aarch64 devices.

I'll try, Im on an Xperia 10 III.
It might be that it just doesn't follow redirects? My subsonic server replies with a redirect to a url hosted on S3 for songs

I never thought about that, but if application itself is working, this might be limitation of media player itself ? I would need to check logs. I'll note that down and try to take a look in some free time. Sorry for inconvenience.
