Hi all I notice this problem while using AOKP. I cant do offline phone search for any info that has anything to do with third party apps. But results for default Apps like contacts will not show up. For example, doing a search for Firefox bookmarks will show up with nothing. This is a problem since now when I search for music And want the music to show up under a third party app like playerpro it's won't show up. But if I search for the same song using the default music app, it'll show up. I hate and don't use the default google music apps and uninstalled it on AOKP so I want the search to work for playerpro. here are pictures to demonstrate this.
1) a offline search for a song will show up for the default google music app.

2) now making player pro searches available in the options stopped searches in google default music app

3) i search for the name of a song and it won't automatically show up in player pro as result but for first party apps like google contact, you see that a number showed up under home.

4) now in order to get the results to show up, i have to search for something, then tap "Search phone" then search the item again. so hear i click "Search phone" then type home again and now the results show up. this is a bug, cause in stock android, the player pro results would show up on the first search without me making too many steps

As you can see, I've set up so it'll search using player pro but it's not working. But if I search for something else that would show up on default apps then click "search phone" then it'll work. Thats too many steps. On stock 4.2 , the offline search works perfectly for player pro. If i search for a song it'll show up first thing. I have tried clearing the media storage and deleting .nomedia files just to see of that would work even though I know that none of those are causing this problem. Anyone else having this problem? I think this is a bug on AOKP

Why is it when I say "listen to (artist)" it defaults to search youtube for (artist) and not playing it from my library?

It only searches for music using specific apps, like Pandora, Last.fm, etc. More info here:

If they wanted to add music search on the device, then they would have to know what music is available on the device, and this is much harder than just taking whatever you said after the phrase "listen to" and plugging it into an online music app.

So since august they still haven't come out with an update to the stock music player to allow me to say "listen to mgmt" and mgmt starts playing from my music library?

Right, and I wouldn't hold my breath for this change either. All of Google's voice recognition is done on the cloud, which means that they either need to send all of your music info up to the cloud in order to recognize your specific songs, artists, etc, which they could do, or they need to change strategies and work on an embedded recognizer to handle this all on the device (so they wouldn't need to send your music info to the cloud), which I'd bet they won't do.

I disagree they could do a text search of what they thought you said versus your local audio collection based on artist/song title tag. So the could would still be used for speech recognition but the text search could be done on the phone.

You're right, and to be honest, I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't written an Android app to do this using Android's voice recognition API. The only issue would be that for some songs/artists it wouldn't work as well as it could if it had access to the actual song titles and artist names for the music that was available on the device, but it would probably work good enough for most people.
On a related note, you'll notice that Google's built-in Voice Actions does not allow you to call contacts that are only on the device: you can only call or send text or whatever using contacts that are in your gmail contact list. Again, this is because Google has your gmail contact list on their servers, and if they wanted to do contact name recognition well using contacts on the device, then they would need to use an embedded recognizer or send the contact list to the cloud. As you'll notice, this is kind of a fundamental issue that pops up again and again when doing voice recognition in the cloud vs on the device.
I can't seem to figure a few things out...
First, with regard to the Gallery. How do i remove the album previews for all the Google+ and Picasa web albums? I don't have any photos in any of them, yet they all show up and display 0 photos. (Screenshots available if desired) I've already turned off photo sync in google sync options.
Secondly, in Google Music:
I have "offline content only" mode checked, and have refreshed and restarted multiple times, yet it continues to display music that is not on my phone. Did this phone come stock with music built in? I've already turned off music sync in google sync options.
For the Play music, you need to check two parts. One is on the settings page which I think you've done already then the second one is on the main app screen where you have all the tracks. On the upper left near the play music icon choose "On Device" instead is "All music".
via xda app
To remove your online albums you have to go to https://picasaweb.google.com/home and remove the albums from there.
The "Hide unavailable music" option in Play Music settings will only hide these tracks when you are offline. Go into airplane mode to see the list refresh. To hide these when you are online, do as stankyou suggested.
Perfect! Thank you to both of you. Feeling Noobish.
To anyone that wants to know how to actually delete them, you have to go to the link above and go into the deepest sub album, and hit 'actions' and delete album.
sweet I was wondering this as well! thanks!
Hello,
I am experiencing problem when using "listen to" voice command on Google Now.
More specifically, Google Now recognizes it as an action, but I don't have the bar for auto launching Google Music Play after some time (I have the bar for other commands though). I have to click on the action for it to launch, which is not very handy, especially in car.
Has this happened to anyone. Is there any known fix?
Thanks in advance for the answer!
That is how Google built it. There's no workaround for that unless someone has modded Google Now.
Or maybe a third party app like this one can be of help.
So this is normal behavior?
This is weird, because on that video, the guy seem able to auto launch music "real estate" (0:48)

Maybe they changed it in an update or something. I have Apollo music player and when I ask Now to play a song, the name appears with an Apollo icon next to it. I have to manually hit the play button to launch the app.
Thank you for your feedback.
Mine proposed Youtube as well. I froze it so google music is the only choice. However, listen to command still doesn't autoplay.
I guess there is still room for improvement in google now...
Hi all...
First off, Asus Zenwatch (original), paired with a Samsung Galaxy S6.
If I open my watch, say "OK Google", and say "Play Dropkick Murphys", it response with "Play Music", "Playing Music", "Opened on phone", and nothing happens. If I then unlock my phone, I find it on the search screen within TuneIn Radio Pro.
Ideally, I'd like it to be playing withing Google Play Music.
Within the Android Wear app, I have Play Music as my default app when I say "Play Music". I can't find any defaults on my phone that would make it think that TuneIn is my default music app.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Same problem. Moto 360 and a note 4. Just cannot figure this out.
When I ask my phone to play a song by a given artist, it opens in play music fine. When I ask my watch, it opens the God awful bloatware music app by Samsung on my phone.
The weird thing is that if I ask my watch to just "play music", it opens Google play music and plays a random song. Even if I go in and force close the Samsung music player, it opens back up.
Same happens to me. It's odd because I have an in car Bluetooth, and that has always opened Google music when I asked but when I use my watch, it opens some random app.
I'm getting the same thing with my Huawei Watch + Sony Z3. When issuing Ok Google, Play music by ****** command, it would search with Soundcloud instead of Play Music. I tried to remedy this by uninstalling Soundcloud, but now the track search occurs in YouTube Music.
Hi!
Same problem with my LG Urbane and G3. I contacted Google, they told me it was a known issue and will be fixed in one of the next updates, if not the very next.
Regards
Damn I found thus and was hoping for a solution. Looks like an update has screwed us all!

After some research I found out how to fix this, and it is not through Android Wear as you would expect.
If you go to the Google App on your phone, tap the menu button on top and tap on settings, then hit "phone search" you can uncheck the "Play Music" option. This will turn off the 'search' from Google Now for playing music.
Then you can go back to google now and say "Play SongNameHere", and it will ask which app you want to use.
This works, but is not the ideal solution if, for example, you want to use the search on your phone, but a single app through your watch. Luckily, I don't use the search on my phone so this solves my problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, unchecking that box didn't seem to have any effect on either the phone search or Android Wear.
I'm running Nexus 6 Chroma ROM with a 1st Gen Moto 360, and the only way I've found to "fix" the issue is to uninstall TuneIn.
I have the Moto X Pure. Systemless Root (thanks to @Ohmster for walking game through it...) Running stock ROM. A few xposed apps for notification bar tweaks and Advanced Power Menu...
My queztion: I do not like or use the Google Music app. I like seeing lyrics, so Musixmatch works for me. When I choose to open music, I have no issues choosing this. I have tried "set to default" in apps. I have tried freezing Google Music in Titanium, as well as making Musixmatch a "system" app.
Problem: When I say "listen up, moto" (or whatever I set pass phrase to be be...)...and say "play song 'Talk About You by Mika'", the default says, "ok..." and plays I Google Music.
If I delete Google Music, I get a Google search with the song, but physically have to "tap" to play it. I have tried: "Open app musixmatch and play song...." "play music in musixmatch "... Etc.......
How can I get the voice command to open/play song I the chosen app without additional" taps" from me?
Help? Thanks in advance!
No one?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the command works only for the google music app.
