M.A.L.P. vs OBS Blade
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
M.A.L.P.
This application is a remote control for the music player daemon (www.musicpd.org). * For support for this application please open an issue at our GitLab repository ( https://gitlab.com/gateship-one/malp ). This application works with every mpd above version 0.14 but to get the best performance and features we recommend to use at least version 0.15 (for playlist performance). Consider updating to the newest version. This application has workarounds for Mopidy, it may or may not work. No support for Mopidy, as this is an MPD client. If you don't know MPD and are looking for a music player for android, we recommend you have a look into Odyssey, which shares the same user interface with this application. ( https://f-droid.org/packages/org.gateshipone.odyssey/ ) The client implements most of the daemons functionality so that full media control and management is possible. To filter albums this client uses the album artist tag (if available) to filter multiple albums with the same title (e.g. Greatest Hits) We recommend that your music is tagged with musicbrainz library to get the best experience as the data tags are used to fetch artwork for artists and albums. Features: * Artist/Album/Files, saved playlist library browsing * AlbumArtist filtering * MBID filtering (multiple albums with same AlbumArtist and title can be accessed separately if MusicBrainzID is available) * Local & server-based search * Basic playlist management (add songs to saved lists, remove songs from saved lists, remove lists, save lists) * Launcher widget * Optional notification (enable in settings) * Background volume control via hardware buttons (only with notification enabled) * Multiple server profiles * Server statistics (use this to request a database update) * Output control * Artwork support with MusicBrainz,Last.fm, Fanart.tv as artwork provider (Album, artist images) * Fanart view for tablets or stuff like that (click on the cover in the now playing view, or select fullscreen mode from menu), best used on widescreen devices in landscape mode.

OBS Blade
DISCLAIMER: This app is not in any way affiliated with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). It's an unofficial, free and open source app to control OBS (https://github.com/Kounex/obs_blade) OBS Blade is designed to be your stream companion and help you to manage your live stream. While using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) you can connect to the running instance and gain control over important parts of the software. This should help you to manage what your audience can see / hear without the need to switch to OBS on your machine and make such changes. You can keep doing what you do and easily use this app to control OBS! Currently OBS Blade supports: - Start / stop the stream - Changing the active scene - Toggle visibility of scene items (like desktop capture etc.) - Change the volume of your current audio sources (or mute them) - View any Twitch chat and write messages - See live statistics of your stream performance (FPS, CPU usage, kbit/s etc.) OBS Blade also saves statistics of your previous streams so you can track the overall performance and some nice to know facts! This app is still in its early stages and will get updated with new features over time - for now the main features which I want to add are: - More engagement with OBS (renaming, sorting, scripted switching etc.) - Export / merge statistics - Soundboard - Incoming feature requests - (Maybe) Streamlabs client connection I hope you have a good time using this app. If you encounter any bugs, have feature requests or anything similar, feel free to get in touch with me! contact@kounex.com
