PHP 7.4 compatibility

[snarffy1959]

Actual behavior

Nextcloud or some of the used apps recommended to use the latest version of PHP (at this moment 7.4) so i installed this version. After that I liked to download and install Audio Player but that was not possible anymore because of this "PHP with a version lower than 7.3 is required.".

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Select Audio player in Nextcloud

Hello,
I don´t have a 7.4 environment ready yet. do you have the possibility to maintain the info.xml manually to include 7.4 and let me know if AP still works?

[snarffy1959]

Hello Rello thanx for your reply, it took me a while (never add apps in nextcloud by hand). I think its working with FireFox in Edge the scanning for files seems a hell of a job (empty progress bar, if thats a progress bar) nothing happens there. The "ID editor" and "SONOS" i didn't download and enable, i'll do that soon (only the "ID editor" and when i can use "SONOS"also with my Yamaha WX010 that one too).

Hello @snarffy1959,
so did the scanner finish? can you play back all your files?

[snarffy1959]

Hello @Rello, yes when using FireFox the scan finished (Edge not).

[snarffy1959]

@Rello, i had only one file, but that could be play backed . Thnx again for your reply, soon i'll have more files (files are on another lan, must see how i get them from there).

Hello,
I just did a version check. ist seems the external getID3 library has some compatibility issues.
I will update everything and release a new version

[snarffy1959]

@Rello, then i wait. Is the new version "audioplayer_editor-0.1.1"?

Running NC17 with PHP 7.4 is currently not officially supported. It's not listed here and support was added in this PR.

The cron.php (or whatever it is called) will fail unless you manually modify ./lib/versioncheck.php.

I am personally running 7.4 and it seems fine otherwise, but downgrading to 7.3 should be the preferred option until another NC update.

Thanx MMatous for your comment.
