It's Mavis itself that crashes and closes itself. Not sure what, but I guess I'll wait for the next build. Just figured I'd let you know! I'll check whenever it updates and let you know if it persists.
Got a tip for us?

I've submitted v2.2 yesterday and it's 'Waiting for Review'. It'll go live in over a week, if Approved.
‣ Get Info View also Supports Share Sheets now.
- Cloud Icon for Items which are in the Cloud.
- 3 Artwork Scale Modes - Targeted for Non-Square Artworks.

- Marvis now Remembers NowPlaying View's Last State(Open/Minimised) even after Marvis is Killed in Background.

Just chiming in since the thread's so quiet. Since the latest version dropped I've been using Marvis pretty much exclusively. I've played with many of the options and have pretty well settled on my preferred layouts. It's remarkable how much customization is available. I'm not used to *any* apps that allow me such flexibility.
Looking forward to whatever's next.

Well, Marvis is all about customisations. I know people love to customise things the way they like. Marvis offers so many options, one might not even have thought could be possible.
And What's next is the v2.2 which just got Approved a few minutes ago. It'll be live soon.
I have even more features planned for next version. Some of them I can tell are:
- Time Left until Queue Ends.
- Swipe Gestures for Play Next/Last in Media Views. Option to choose from Long Press/Swipe Gestures.
- Customisable Max. Number of Items Limit in Queue. Eg. You just want to add 25 Items to queue. You can set queue limits so even if you select an item from huge list. It'd only add 25 items in the Queue.
- and so much more.
I hope you'll enjoy it a lot. It'll be coming soon.

Great changes, I think I'm set for life now lol. Truly fantastic app.
I'm not stopping there, More Coming soon.Yeah I can't imagine what else there can be done. Lol. Anyways keep up the excellent work.
Different strokes for different folks. I like the icon.
Previously I was going to Change the Icon, but now I think I'd be mad to change it. It represents a hidden Meaning 2 in 1 - Cloud and Headphone. Whichever you want to see.
The big Music Note Glyph is so common. This one is Unique, I and many more users I asked love the Icon. One told me "Don't fix something that's not Broken"
So I've decided not to. I'm happy to know everyone's feedback. Thank you all.
I prefer the gaps and having the artist name, I don't know all my thousands of cover art off by heart. It's impossible to please all the people all of the time so I guess sometimes Aditya has to make decisions for himself.
But I certainly agree with you about clutter.
When you do this please consider setting the default option as 'no download'. I prefer to make my own choices in most cases.
I'm afraid I'm another one who doesn't understand what you're referencing, but I'm interested in what you have to say. I have read some of that thread you linked but there is so much cross talk I still don't follow you.
Are you able to list the steps you're taking to duplicate the issue, or post screenshots, or both?
Is what you're discussing only apparent when playing music from the cloud? Because I don't do that so will never see what you see.
You're Right, I'll Ask User's Permission to Download the Artworks. It would be a heavy Process, so user must Decide if he wants or not. Thank you.
I'd be interested in trying this feature. Will there be an undo/deactivate option?
Yes, I'll give as much Customisation I could. Even allow Editing Specific Artist/Genre Image. And Delete All Artworks to Save Memory Usage.

Hehe, I'm going on a Holiday for 2-3 days. I'll start Working again after I return. Lots of Ideas still in Mind.
Hi, I understand you are away right now so take your time answering. I just have one question. In iTunes I have some songs set to "skip when shuffle" but this setting doesn't seem to be carrying over when I attempt to play music on my phone. Is there a way to keep the "skip when shuffle" designation in place on my phone or should I rework my playlists? Thank you for all your hard work on this app, it really is a great piece of software.
Actually I haven't Tried "Skip when Shuffle" myself, But I think it won't Automatically work on iOS. I'll try after I return, I'll let you know. Probably Working with Playlist would be the workaround.
So glad you like Marvis.
For me this is such a huge feature it cannot be underestimated. I mean I listen to albums as a whole almost all the time so I'd like to continue listening where I left off and having this saved almost always means I can continue at the exact spot. It's always the small things that count for me.
Okay I tried Skip when Shuffling. As Expected, it works in iTunes, but not in iOS. I tried one more thing I went to my iPhone's Music List, and turned on Skip when Shuffling for some items. That didn't help as well. I'm sorry, but I can't really think of any workarounds. I'll keep thinking about it, I'll post if there's an Easier way to achieve this.
Update: I tried Skip when Shuffling on iOS 8.3. It's working. Maybe on 8.4 it's disabled by Mistake or because iCloud Music Library is On, the Changes aren't Synced.
If Skip When Shuffling was Supported, Marvis won't be able to Support it, Because of the way Shuffle works in Marvis.
iOS Doesn't Provide APIs to Access NowPlaying Queue. So, to Infer Playback Queues, Marvis can't let Music App Shuffle Music(Marvis has to do it on its own), if it Shuffles, Marvis would not know what songs are coming up.

Dang you keep busy with all these updates and whatnot. Love the new changes of opening the now playing list to the current song.
LOL, I'm always busy - working on Marvis. Even before Apple Approves Updates, I prepare a new one.
The Next Update will be a Major. You can already guess - It'll be called v3.0
So Glad you're enjoying the Minor Features I've added, these tiny things can really affect a major way. Like in New Update I've added Multi-Line Values and Separators in Get Info View for better Readability.
