Does anyone know if there is a way (running Malaysk ROM) to make starting music programs (e.g. I use Spotify, MS Groove, podcast players) to switch the MCU mixer to music?
For example - Currently when I am listening to radio and I want to listen to Spotify, Groove or a podcast player next I click the corresponding icon in the launcher but the radio remains on so I have to open the launcher a second time and click Music to turn off the radio/switch android feed to stereo. I would like clicking the Spotify, Groove, etc. icons to do that automatically.
I'd be interested in this as well. I thought that I could do this with Tasker, basically kill the radio app when spotify starts but I don't know what app to kill to make the radio stop.
Killing apps won't help with anything. We need something to switch the MCU audio.
I was operating under the impression that the radio audio stream was coming from an app. However the radio being a hardwired audio input seperate from the Android audio stream would explain why when I reboot the HU the radio keeps playing while it reboots.
I found my solution. I upgraded to a Dasaita MDCD PX5 (OctaCore) with Android 6 and it switches automatically - i.e. Hitting the play button on Spotify turns off the radio, pressing the radio button while Spotify is playing pauses Spotify and so on

I have noticed for a while that whenever you use the FM Radio player on the One X, the stock music player will then be "broken"
What I mean by broken is that whenever you try to play a song after the FM Radio has been played, it will simply not play. In most cases the timer will continue to go, as if it is playing, but no sound will come out.
As you would know, the FM Radio player only works, once viable headphones have been inserted. I have seen that if on the homescreen you have the FM Radio widget, it will automatically turn on if you insert headphones and navigate to the homescreen page it is on. This is when the problems start.
Anyone know a fix to this problem?
I am a Spotify user and use the app to play/stream music via Bluetooth in my vehicle. With my iPhone 4, the song/band/album names all show up in my vehicle's OSD. On the Note 2 my steering wheel's song skip buttons still function, but I get no more song name/info on my OSD. Is this a limitation of the phone or of the Android version of the Spotify app?

This is most likely the app itself. I had this same issue when installed my new pioneer head unit. I could play music through bluetooth, but it wouldn't say any info. If I played music using the normal android music player, winamp, or apollo, it would show info. Hope this helps!
Hi there. First off I'm wondering if anyone else sees this as a problem. I have Bluetooth stereo headphones with A2DP (pause/play, next, previous buttons). When I leave my house I tend to grab my headphones, throw them around my head and switch them on. Unless a music player (like the stock Google one) is already running in the background, pressing play on the headphones doesn't do anything until I actually open a music player app. This is rather frustrating especially if I've got gloves on already or if I've thrown my Note II into my pack.
Is there anything I can do to basically make sure that a music player is already running or will start up on and A2DP connection and/or A2DP button press? I've searched for music player apps that simply stay backgrounded but haven't found anything that actually works. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you tried poweramp music app? Its always work for me when I push play button on my lg bluetooth headset. I don't use stock music app.
Hi,
I've got some bluetooth devices with playback controls (play/pause, FF, REW). I listen to podcasts in an app called Podkicker Pro. It's nice in that FF, REW will skip ahead or back within the same podcast rather than skipping tracks like a regular audio player, and remember my position.
The problem is the Apollo music player is the one to always receive commands from the bluetooth device. Even if Apollo isn't loaded/playing anything any use of the bluetooth controls will cause it to load and steal focus. The only way I can reliably get the controls to work in Podkicker Pro is to disable Apollo from the apps settings. Of course if I want to play music I then need to re-enable it.
Is there any way (settings, apps, patches, takser rules) to specify which app will receive the bluetooth playback commands?
Thanks!
Hi, I just got a px30 headunit running android 9
If I use a different music player Ap (power amp, pi player, pulsar) for example. When I turn the car off and back on they will Remeber the song that was playing but will be at the start of the song instead of where I left it.
Where as the stock music player (very basic). Will Remeber what song was playing and will resume where it left off too.
Is there any way of getting this to work with a different music player? Or am I stuck with the default.
Thanks
