Revolutionizing Media Control with Simplicity
In a world of complex media players with endless buttons and menus, we’re excited to introduce One Button Player (<- download link) – an innovative Android app that proves sometimes less really is more. Built from the ground up with performance in mind!
How It Works: One Button, Unlimited Possibilities
One Button Player transforms your Android device into a sophisticated media controller that responds to a single button press. Here’s the magic:
- Create Your Shows: Build custom audio sequences by selecting MP3 files from your device and programming numbered events for each button press
- Event Types: Choose from start, stop, pause, and resume actions for any track in your show
- Organize & Save: Create multiple “shows” – perfect for performance
- Smart Playback: The app automatically loads your last used show and provides intuitive status indicators – with full control via the remote
- No remote? Use the top button on “Play” screen instead!
Meet the One Button Remote
The true power of One Button Player comes from its perfect companion: the One Button Remote (<- github PlatformIO code link). This simple open source device includes:
- ESP32 C3 Super Mini microcontroller for reliable Bluetooth connectivity
- Single button design for incorporating into a foot switch
The remote sends clean Bluetooth signals to your Android device, triggering the next event in your programmed sequence with each press. Whether you’re on stage, in a presentation, or controlling background music, the One
Button Remote gives you precise control without ever touching your phone. - Custom Bluetooth Library changes make the Bluetooth connection work more reliably (original library didn’t work!)
Perfect Use Cases
- Live Performances: Poi spinners and jugglers can trigger audio cues without looking at their phone
- Poi Control: Potential to trigger events on the poi (upgrade coming soon to the One Button Player app)
- Accessibility: Ideal for users who need simple, reliable media control
- Not just for poi: Perfect solo magicians, fire performers, anyone needing hands free background music controls
Why One Button Player Stands Out
Unlike traditional media players that require constant screen interaction, One Button Player embraces the philosophy of “set it and forget it.” The combination of the intuitive Android app and the dedicated hardware
remote creates a frictionless experience that lets you focus on what matters – your perfornance, not your controls.
The app is built with modern Android development practices, featuring a clean three-screen interface (Play, Configure, Load) that makes show management effortless. Persistent storage ensures your shows are always ready
when you need them.
