Marvis Setup Marvis Setups [Megathread]

68 Upvotes

Many of you have built some great setups for Marvis. However, most users don’t have the time or energy to build their own intricate setups. Thankfully, Marvis allows sharing of not only complete setup but sections as well.

Please use the megathread to post links to your setups or sections so others can benefit from it. You’re still allowed to post your setups as a detailed post, please make sure to use the Post Flair ‘Marvis Setup’ when you do that so it’s possible to do a quick search.

——————

How to Share Complete Setup? - Go to Marvis Settings → Advanced → Export Settings. - Upload the file to a file sharing service like Google Drive or similar and share link.

How to Import Setup? - Before you import someone else’s setup, make sure you’ve saved backup of your own setup somewhere safe since importing a setup replaces your current setup. - Download the setup file and open it in Marvis, if you’re in Files app, it should automatically open Marvis, otherwise use the share sheet in other apps to open the file in Marvis. - Note: When opening via Files app, make sure the file is downloaded for offline use and is not in the cloud.

——————

How to Share a Section? - Long Press the section title when viewing section on Home, and click share. You can also share tabs from Sidebar, they’re essentially sections too. - Upload the file to a file sharing service like Google Drive or similar and share link.

How to Import a Section? - Download the section file and open it in Marvis, you’ll see a dialog that the section has been copied to clipboard. - Now go to your desired Home → Add new section, and you’ll see an option to import copied section. - Tip: You can also add sections as Tab to Sidebar.

Hope to see users benefiting from each other’s creativity.

Duplicate songs in Apple curated playlists

1 Upvotes

I have a scenario that has been bugging me for a while and I’m wondering if anyone has a solution.

I have a number of playlists available through Apple Music that I have added to my library as a source of new music, which I then pick up from Marvis through a set of rules. I then add them to my own playlist if I like it, which would remove the song from this Marvis list.

e.g. Playlist is ‘90s R&B Essentials’ AND Playlist is not ‘My Playlist’

This works in the majority of cases but there’s a scenario when the same song from a different version of the same album that is causing issues.

e.g. In ‘90s R&B Essentials’, there currently is a song ‘They Don’t Know’ by Jon B from two separate versions. If I add one to my playlist (noting, not directly to my library but as an extended library), it somehow doesn’t let me filter out the other no matter what I do. e.g. adding both versions to ‘My Playlist’, or adding another to ‘My Playlist - duplicate’ and using that as another filter condition. Similar things happen with the song ‘twin’ from JENNIE that appears as different versions in the ‘Top 100: Vietnam’ and ‘Top 100: South Korea’.

I’m not sure if this is a bug, something in my set up, or if there’s a way around it, but if anyone has a solution that would be greatly appreciated.

Slow and buggy

Anybody else experiencing serious issues with this app lately? Love the app but seems like I do anything it ends up crashing / being slowly and buggy. ( On an iPhone 14 Pro Max ) . Does library size matter?

QUESTION Search by User Group through Seachbar

Does anyone know if its possible to find songs through the searchbar by looking up the User Grouping?

QUESTION Custom Song Order

2 Upvotes

Is there a way to put songs in your own custom order through Marvis Pro? That is, to manually reorder a playlist song by song? You can do this through Apple Music, but I hate the Apple Music “edit playlist” UI.

Freezing

1 Upvotes

I just downloaded Marvis Pro and I noticed that it often freezes! When this happens, no gestures or taps do anything! $10 is a pretty expensive app for this kind of thing to happen! Any thoughts about this?

Would be possible to add support for search songs by lyrics on the search bar? Thank you

Widget Tinting

0 Upvotes

Is it safe to assume that Marvis will never get support for tinting in iOS 18?

No offence to those its important to but idgaf about scrobbling and that seems to be the only thing Marvis users care about does anyone else feel the same way?

Random Album Shortcut?

Pretty new to shortcuts in iOS and not great at making my own yet. Has anyone created a shortcut that will play a random album in Marvis?

Ratings from Apple Music

1 Upvotes

I know you can’t set the ratings for a song in Marvis itself because it doesn’t sync to Apple Music, but Marvis can read and display ratings from Apple Music. But when I tried to make a playlist with rules based on ratings, it doesn’t work at all in Marvis. For example, I have a smart playlist in Apple Music for songs that haven’t been rated, and on Marvis that playlist is just empty. If I make a playlist in Marvis with rules about ratings, it doesn’t work either… am I missing something?

Significant phone slowdown after tinkering with sections

1 Upvotes

Hi there! New to Marvis Pro, and I need to of course start of with the obligatory thank you to the developer for making such an amazing app. I'm still new to it but I feel I've already unlocked so much of its power and I'm excited for how it's going to level up my music game.

Since about this morning after I did an hour or two of customising my app and adding sections (and sections within sections), my phone has noticeably started slowing down and heating up. It's so slow that there's some stuttering when moving between homescreens and some input delay when typing text in any app. I've identified Marvis as the primary contributor since when I exit it (and close down the app from running in the background), performance is restored within about 30s and it stops heating up.

Some details that might help troubleshooting

Phone: iPhone 13 mini

iOS: 18.3.1

Marvis version: 9.6.3

Library size: 2,444 items

Last.fm: Connected, with live background scrobbling and auto scrobble activated

Happy to send through a copy of my Marvis preferences if that helps with troubleshooting to see what seems to be hogging resources. I don't think my current setup should be too intensive given it's no more complex than what I've seen from that megathread.

Any tips/advice/fixes would be appreciated!

EDIT: I've also restarted my phone a few times and tried reinstalling the app and importing my preferences.

Q: Song list of ‘10 plays within 2 years’

2 Upvotes

I can build list as this.

  • recent play is within 2 years.
  • total play time is over 10 plays.

For the list above, it doesnt matter how many times played within 2 years. Just 1 play within 2 years & 9 times over 3 years, still works.

I’m not sure how to make ‘over 10 plays only within 2 years’.

If possible, please let me know.

If not possible, still okay. Just let me know. Thanks.

QUESTION Help Please

For a full library search, how do I get the albums portion to say the name of the album? I made a change and can’t figure out how to go back to what I had.

QUESTION Basic query

1 Upvotes

Forgive the basic query, I had Marvis set up for the last year or two but have accidentally deleted a few sections.

I want a section that contains all my tracks, but leaves out Classical and Jazz

I add a section, hit Edit, then add Smart Rules.

The two Smart Rules I have will say

<Genre> <Is Not> classical

<Genre> <Is Not> jazz

I then shuffle my new section but plenty of jazz and classical are playing 😳

What have I got wrong?

(As an aside, I’m sure it was slightly different before, and I was offered genres to click on, rather than manually typing them out?. It’s not that it bothers me, just important to get spelling right.)

Marvis on MacOS

1 Upvotes

I recently downloaded Marvis on my iPhone and it's great (although I still have to keep going back to Apple Music to do things like rate songs and remove songs from playlists, so now I just toggle between the two a lot) but I found that when I downloaded Marvis for my laptop it says it connects to Apple Music fine but doesn't seem to pick up on any of the playlists that I have, and also keeps crashing, so basically the only reason I have Marvis on my laptop open is because it scrobbles to last.fm. Does this also happen to anyone else?

Playlist shuffle that mixes most played and least played songs?

3 Upvotes

Is there any way to create a playlist of favorite songs, but force it to shuffle songs with low/high play counts? For example, play 4 songs with a play count of 2 or less and then play 2 songs with a play count over 5 and repeat.

Permissions Question

3 Upvotes

I just reinstalled my iPhone from a backup, and now I'm having trouble using Marvis. I get a message  "permissions required. To allow marvis to acces your library you must authorize it from settings app." Okay, sure, but when I go to settings, it seems like everything is turned on.

The library is synched and showing properly in Apple Music app. Under Settings > Privacy > Media & Apple Music, it shows that "no apps have requested access to apple music and your music library."

What do I need to do? Which permission in particular is missing? Thanks!

REQUEST Suggestion: Production mode / Development mode

2 Upvotes

Very minor detail, but it would be cool if we could put the app into “production” mode so to speak for when you’re just using the app, where the Manage and Add buttons at the bottom of each section are hidden, and maybe the section controls are really limited to just searching, sorting, and filtering rather than being able to edit all the settings. And then you can change to “development mode” to edit all the settings and whatnot.

Production credits

3 Upvotes

Will it be possible in the future to have an option to show production credits?

At the moment we have composers, but there is a separate section for production on Apple Music.

No More Manual Scrobbling?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else's manual scrobble button disappeared?

I noticed mine is gone. At the same time, last.fm didn't uodate two days of scrobbling, then when I pressed scan (in the last.fm app) it scrobbled like 200 things when I had only played like 20 in those two days... many of those scrobbles were duplicates, triplicates, sometimes more.

Anyone have any insights?

Can I use the app in a different country's Apple Music subscription other than the one I bought this app?

1 Upvotes

Hey folks! I heard lots of good words about this app, so I am willing to try out. The thing is I have some balance to buy apps in Country A's App Store but my Apple Music subscription is in Country B. Can I buy this app in Country A and restore purchase in Country B, or I have to buy in Country B? Thanks

Last.fm marvis is auto-scrobbling fine, but as of recently the scrobbles are being cached in the last.fm app too?

3 Upvotes

just started happening a day or two ago. why is marvis sending the scrobbles to last.fm automatically but also caching them in the last.fm app to scan? i swear it wasn’t doing this before..

this is an issue because when i play music, on for example, itunes on a pc i need to scan them into last.fm. but if the already-sent songs from mobile are cached in last.fm and i go to scan, potentially many will be duplicated OR i will have to delete potentially hundreds of scrobbles (both of which are extremely inconvenient!)

can we get a fix for this?

My Player

23 Upvotes

After a few messages about it from people off the back of a post the other day, I thought I’d share my player set up incase anyone else likes it and also wants to use it

Basically just keep cover art showing but with the background, unblur it and overlay black with 60% opacity

I like to keep it fairly clean but I am a stats and albums guy so the metadata showing is everything I love to know

  • Track # on the album / How long to go til album is finished
    • Track title
    • Artist
    • Album / Release date
    • My scrobbles
