Hi,
I recently rooted my TicWatch and now I found that the download of music via Play Music does not work properly. The app on the watch states that the music has been downloaded but if I try to start the playback it wants to have a WiFi connection. It looks as if it only affects playlists. Also the covers for the playlists won't be download.
The usual stuff, clearing cache and date, reinstall, reset watch didn't help.
Any further ideas? I'm pretty sure that this worked before.
Thanks!
Sebastian

I think you have to accept that!
No, I won't. I just noticed that the music is working out the phone has Bluetooth enabled. Do the downloaded music is somehow not on the watch but is streamed from the phone instead. I will note try to sideload the phone play music app. We'll see if I can download the music then.
I just realised how stupid the actual behaviour is. The watch says that it wants to have WiFi streaming enabled in Play Music, to play the offline music. The funny part is that it does not matter if there is an actual WiFi or mobile data connection present. My watch is set to flight mode and is able to play the downloaded music. So apparently the only thing you need to do is to allow streaming via mobile data connection and not only via WiFi. #Facepalm
Btw. the sideloaded Play Music app does start but is closed immediately.

Hey everyone I've jumped over from the iPhone/Apple ecosystem so don't shoot me, but I'm really disappointed with this HTC Media Link HD. I've still got Airplay running side by side and these problems don't exist. I don't mean that to argue about Airplay and whatnot because neither companies are paying me royalties to argue for or against them. I just mention it because I can Airplay stream and mirror without a hitch so I don't want to fend off "your wireless network stinks" responses. I've got an Asus N66 and can sustain mbps back to my NAS/ESXi well beyond what this needs, and I can also stream non-hand braked blu rays without problem. I understand there is differences between streaming and mirroring, but also as I understand this should be a wireless direct connection.
Anyone having these problems:
1. Google Play (perhaps the latest version only) does not look to work with my Media Link. It will play one song and then stop as it tries to load the next song. Manually restarting the next song doesn't resolve I have to close and re-open. Spotify works fine.
2. Any flash I've tried to stream results in audio and video out of sync. I can mirror flash movies across airplay without this issue.
3. Audio cuts in and out in Spotify all the time. I can rarely get 2 songs to play in a row without chop. The cut outs are brief, but still very annoying.
Thanks for any help! Love the phone quite a bit, this is probably my first disappointment.
I have the same problem trying to stream google play music to media link. It only plays one song and it won't play any other songs until I disconnect from media link again - it works fine if its not connected to media link - but with media link only one song?

This issue exists with Google Play Movies as well. I tried contacting support about it a couple months ago with nothing ever coming from it. I was trying to play All Access via Play Music today and ran into the same problem. The songs will not even play when the Media Link HD is connected. I suspect this is some DRM related code put into all the Google media apps. I submitted a support email to Google as will attempt to get as far through to the real tech support people as I can to see if this incompatibility can be resolved. I urge you all to do the same. Stupid DRM...it ruins everything.
It won't play tv.com either, it will play cnn live broadcast, and vevo.
Hey guys,
just wondered, if theres any option to download the music out of google play music all access I put in a playlist. I mean wouldn't it be nice to hear it with some other player, so if connection struggles the music doesnt stop playing.
Yes offlinemode in mobile version is available, but can I extract them out of it, to do the same at my PC.
The App Cloudmusicimporter promises this much. But as I tried it, not one of my all access titles in the Playlists is shown and possible to download, just the ones I upped myself..

I've searched and can't find anything, but I need to find a way to stop the stock music player from playing when my phone connects to my car's BT. I use Google play music and want that one to auto start, but every freaking time I start my car, the Samsung player starts that dumb preloaded song.
Honestly, I don't care if I can't get play music to autostart, I just want the Samsung one to stop. And yes, I've tried disabling the app, but it can't be, at least non-rooted. So, any help/advice would be great. Thanks.

Is Google Play Music set as the default music player? I haven't rooted my phone or anything, it's completely stock and just by setting Google Play Music to the default on Day 1 of getting this phone (April 8th) it always auto starts when I connect via Bluetooth.

I never got the option to set it as default and I didn't see anything about it in application manager. Any idea where to find it?
OK, figured it out in a round about way. I had to open a .mp3 in Samsung's file explorer and then it asked me for the default. So let's see if it works.
@Hendrycks
Thanks! It worked.
That didnt work for me. Upon linking to BT in my car, the stock Samsung player still auto starts. I have tried setting play music as default, I have set Player Pro as default. it still auto launches the stock crappy Samsung player app. Ideally I dont want it to auto launch any app. I use Pandora alot in my car and since it auto launches the samsung app, that means my car stereo does not display the track info for the playing song in Pandora on the screen.
Sooo annoyed
I have the same exact issue and it is driving me crazy. I have tried everything in the phone and settings and there is nothing. I have downloaded both Connect and Play, and Smart Connect as bluetooth connectors but the stupid factory music beats it to the punch every time. Nothing works! I am about to chuck my phone. Someone please help!
me too
Does anyone have another suggestion? This happens to me if I even "pause" my podcast player too long. Truely annoying.
I am going to try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.start.and.play.music.player&hl=en
So far, with the UI, it does look like it has the right settings/options.
Sorry to bump this but came across this while trying to sort this very same issue. I'v found an app called Package Disabler Pro in the Play Store . The best thing is that it works without root.. It isn't free but I thinks if you been looking for something thats solves this issue its worth it. It worked for me so hope it works for you. And if you try it quick enough you can get a refund if it don't work
Download Trigger, I have mine set so when it connects to bluetooth it launches Google music but you can choose anything you want or nothing at all!
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app

I have the same problem. I installed Trigger, but it didn't work. What task did you add?
The best I came up with was denying access to storage in the application's settings. Now it just prompts me to give it permission when I connect to bluetooth. At least that horrid song doesn't play anymore.
Have you tried Tasker ? Had same problem myself on S6 Edge, but after a little fiddling with Tasker. The default "music" closes, tunein radio is launched & my volume levels are adjusted. I can revert back to "music" by pressing play/pause on hands free.
Have the new Stock MM V340 on the Honor 5x.
I'm streaming Music over bluetooth in my car. Now evrytime when i'm getting (or making) a phone call, the stock music player is completely killed. This is very inconvinient. I have podcasts of several hours, and even the position in the podcast is lost.
When going into settings, battery, I have the possibility to protect apps, except the system apps like the music player.
Has anybody a hint or a solution for this problem? Thank you in advance for any help.

My best guess is that ur device is very low on Free RAM. Try uninstall as many apps as you do not absolutely need/use frequently. Also, put only the apps you need to stay running after screen goes off as protected (i have only 6 protected apps). Hope this helps. Cheers.

I don't have this problem even when I'm using the phone the whole evening with several apps. The music player gets killed, but continues to play at the exact position that the player had stopped the day before.
So I don't think it's memory related. Must have something to do with the phone app, or with the "Bluetooth Connect" App that I'm using so that the Music player automatically starts to play music when connected to my car Bluetooth system.
Have the same problem when using Google Play Music instead of the music player. What I can't understand is why it's not possible to make the default music player as well as Google play music a "protected app". Both app are not listened.
The app keeps barking that it could not find a registered device. How on earth do i register the google music app on my android phone. It is installed and running on my phone. So, i assume it is registered, but bubbleupnp thinks my phone is not a registered device for this app. It was the main reason i paid for this app.
Could anyone offer a tip?

I don't think so unfortunately, you can read that : https://reddit.com/r/YoutubeMusic/comments/hhg308/bubble_upnp_will_it_support_ytm/
But do it anyway, it has already started, it will save your library so you don't lose all of your song

Is there a way to stream pandora, spotify, etc from my android phone to an external renderer (my hifi bluray/sacd player) with bubbleupnp? I don't want to pay for Qobuz or tidal which bubble permits. I am currently using bubble to push music files from my NAS to this bluray/sacd player (dlna). But, i have not figured out a way to stream music from free services like pandora etc from my phone to this player. I use pandora, google play music, etc to find new music.
Any tip you offer is much appreciated.

Well idk which protocol YT music support but you can cast music to other devices like google homes, Chromecast, but that's it. Hope the way you've found will keep working
