I am having the same "Issue", actually I like that feature. It is convenient in a way because I always want music to start playing when my Bluetooth connects in my car. If it is not too much to ask for, would it be possible to implement a simple setting to keep this enabled in the new version? Thanks.

I think I finally solved this issue to 1.0.5.

See my log PTVQ74718M and [url=http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=76187&p=387593#p387593]report[/url] for a symptom like this topic's. Rusty told me [url=http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=73831&start=30#p385408]in yet another topic[/url] to report in this bug about playback randomly starting.

It happens all the time with that setting turned on. I had it off, and then turned it on for your test - that would be the last entry in the log. Does that make sense?

Hi,
thanks for your debug log JN48DFH7MA (Initiation of playback by itself) .

In all log I can see 6 cases when bt device is just connected. Only in last case I can see that after bt device was connected, PLAY_PAUSE command was received, but it happened 50 seconds after it was connected.
So it's look like:
- it's not happening every time
- it's not happening immediately after bt device is connected.

Can you confirm that?

Very repeatable for me with that setting. Here's the log id JN48DFH7MA

I''ll make myself a note to try and reproduce it.

Killjoy,

That workaround may solve the issue--but it may break in the next build (it wasn't by design).

Can you (or anyone else experiencing the bug) trigger the bug and then immediately send debug log (via the Options menu) and post the log ID here?

I really want to get this fixed before we release.

Thanks.

I discovered a setting tonight that may be the issue. The "Remote Controls" checkbox was checked on my phone. I unchecked it, and now MMA seems to behave the way I would expect - MMA does not take over on every selection of BT media on my car radio; when it's checked, it does. So my question is: Is this the expected behavior for that setting? And what does that setting actually do?

I'm still unable to replicate via bluetooth. Will try with a few other head units.

DTSig, I also tried to emulate the issue using 'headphones helper' and both headset and headphones and found that the only time playback was initiated in MMA is if '[x] Press play after opening player' is enabled. How do you trigger the bug using 'headphones helper' ?

-Rusty

Head unit. It still seems to then start playing MMA no matter whether or not is was running before. I'll keep an eye on it.

[quote]MMA always plays when I select the BT source.[/quote]

When you say 'when I select the BT source', are you referring to a setting on the head unit? Or when you choose the BT device output in Android?

Thanks.

I tried a several times today, and the issue is still there - MMA always plays when I select the BT source.

Hyundai Sonata radio.

I'll let you know what differences I see with this release.

We've made a change in relation to MMA failing to terminate when a bluetooth connection is active: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=11861

This may affect/solve this problem. Can you let us know?

Also, killjoy can you confirm what head unit you're using (I see regaug is using an HTC Vivid connecting to a Honda Civic radio, and that you're using a Nexus5, and I'm curious if there's any commonality in terms of the head unit).

Thanks!
