Does anybody know how Android defines the default audio player over Bluetooth? I have a specific player I want to use when I get in my car, but it usually starts one of the other players on my phone.
This does not seem to be documented anywhere. Does anyone know how it works?

Hi
Anyone know the specifics of the Hero's AVRCP support?
I've got a set of Sony stereo bluetooth headphones with play/pause/skip controls on them. They work fine on the HTC audio player, even when the phone is locked I can control the music.
However i've just signed up to Spotify and installed the app.... the controls don't work at all, however music is played through the headphones. If the HTC music application is running in the background but paused, pressing 'pause' actually starts the HTC music playing instead of pausing Spotify! This is the same as other audio apps like Google Listen, audio comes over Bluetooth but commands are not listened to.
It seems HTC Music is hard-coded to intercept all AVRCP commands, and not pass them on to a more suitable program if one is running. Can this be changed at all?
I have a Alpine car deck and a Android phone.
I can confirm that which connected via bluetooth to my car stereo while using the default music player to play music, song tags/information/track is displayed on my car stereo (I am assuming using AVRCP 1.3). However, I have tried poweramp and player pro and they both do not display the music info/tags/etc on my car stereo which is a big minus. Does anyone know if any other music apps on the market (besides the default android music player) will display via bluetooth/avrcp, all the song tag/information/track/etc?
thanks in advance

I also use poweramp and player pro, neither of which at this time will display info on car head unit..Latest Rocket player update does however display info. I don't like the interface as well as poweramp or player pro, but you get the features we are looking for like fade, crossfade, and track/artist display on your car unit.
I upgraded my phone to the stock Android Lollipop build using Samsung Kies. I previously had my phone rooted. Everything works great with my phone under the new OS, except for something that I use very frequently - playing my music from my phone in my car over bluetooth. This is a feature I use daily, and now it has been crippled.
When I play music on my phone, connected to my aftermarket car stereo via bluetooth, the song information no longer shows up on my car stereo. Also, when trying to use my controls (face of the head unit, or the steering wheel controls), it does nothing (skipping tracks, etc.).
I am using the stock music player. Any help would be great, or even knowing that this problem exists outside of my phone would also make me feel better.
Having similar issues.
Audio controls work, but track data isn't working. Only samsung/google player are working properly with metadata.
Spotify, Pandora, and Soundcloud are not transfering audio track names at all.
Same here, I have a Kenwood DDX-418 and I can change tracks with the on screen buttons but do not get display. Maybe pull old kit Kat stock player and push to lollipop

I have 2 devices, one is a tabled installed as car dash media and phone. I was wondering is there a way to control spotify with a phone or stream music through a phone on tablet with bluetooth. I know i can control playing if i'm logged to my spotify account but thats not what i want to have.
Mayby some player is able to recieve music from spotify on tablet and play or some app can controll and search on spotify installed on tabled. Any ideas?

I've searched and seen similar setups, it seems like it doesn't support, if it was supporting I don't think somebody would attach a headset to sound system.
It is something implemented in low level, in order to add such capacity you might need to find a rom which is capable or need to develop one. I asked because, it's the easiest way. In general your phone and tablet is acting as a driver/server for an headset. If a headset is connected, they cut their sound output on speaker or headphones and channels through headset. If there was a such a profile it would be extremely easy, if not it's as I said something in low level.
There are some streaming applications which you install a server to one device and a client to another. The applications are not transferring media played, but some sort of data that can be played in clients' integrated player, through implemented compression algorithm. There is SoundCloud synchronizer, but I couldn't find a Spotify version. It is also something hard to do if Spotify doesn't help.
Since, Spotify support WiFi speaker, you can try to find a way to turn your tablet into WiFi speaker. But, the applications I found requires a server installed on a PC, so it can be assumed that they don't actually mimic the protocol of WiFi speakers clients, still worth to try.
Another solution is implementing a virtual device as sound output in your phone, which will transfer the something supposed to be sound in desired protocol that can be played on the tablet.
Does anyone know of an equalizer app that works over Bluetooth for any Android phone running Android 8 or 9? Is it impossible to write an app that will do it because bluetooth streaming basically always turns the phone into a Preamp and you can only equalize at the streaming endpoint and can't alter the music signal before that? Or are there some phone manufacturers or music player apps that have built-in equalizers that will work over bluetooth? (Specifically I'd like to find one that works on LG Phones [V30/G8], using Google Play Music)
