[Q] Play music issues with Chromecast while being used with nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The reason I am raising this issue here is that I am only facing this problem on Nexus 4. Play music on Chromecast seems to work fine while being used with my wife's Galaxy S3. Here's the issue:
When I play my play music playlists on chromecast, it takes long pauses between songs and half of the time the next song fails to play until i press the play button again on my phone. Netflix and single song playback is working fine though. And network speed is not an issue, the speed is about 20mbps.
Additional Info: Running CM10.1.3 RC2 with Franco's kernel.
Is there anyone who is not facing this problem with Nexus 4? Could you please share which ROM you are using?

music skipping while browsing

Does anyone else suffer from music skipping and stuttering while browsing our using pulse? At first I thought it might be because I was streaming from Google music but the problem persists even when playing music from my device. I'm running the latest paranoid android build with the faux kernel. Any suggestions?

I had that same problem. I love PA and used it as my daily driver for a long time. Than I started having that audio problem while playing my audio books. I found this extremely annoying and unacceptable. I am finally pop and click free running PerfectRom 2.1
I would of thought the stuttering is from the browser using too much system resources leaving the music player wanting.

Allshare cast media hub troubleshooting

So I just got this little dongle thing, and its all choppy at times, and sometimes the audio is out of sync with the video.
Specifically I have been using Netflix and the default video player. Power saving is off. It should work fairly smooth and I'm literally 4 feet away so I don't think it's reception.
Any suggestions to smoothen the video playback?

FIXED ... turns out it is just a bug in the Netflix app. Every time I run it the problem starts and it carries over into the YouTube app and the video player. Reboot the device and everything runs fine, until you run the Netflix app again. Unfortunately the same bug in the Netflix app afflicts my Bluetooth headphones.
Wondering if it's an incompatibility with the device and that version of the Netflix app or what? And does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it

[Q] (Q) Music Stops??

Hello!!
Hi I don't know if any of you experience this problem before but my Nexus 4 keep stopping the music randomly, it doesn't matter if I'm using the phone speaker or headset or streaming with Bluetooth.
I tried different music/media players too and the music keep stopping. I tried Google play music, mx player, power amp, Apollo. The phone plays like 5 or 6 songs and then stops suddenly, also its stops in the middle of songs too (thanks hp420 for reminding me) I have to unlock the phone and press play again.
I tried different roms and kernels and its all the same results.
Thank You in Advance

Same here. It stops in the middle of the song, sometimes. All I have to do is click play to get it going again, and it picks up where it left off, but it's annoying as hell!!
(running PA latest nightly with franco M3)
Same here . using rooted stock ROM and kernel . happens in Google music and nexmusic player .

[Q] Google Music prematurely skipping to next song

When playing music via Google Music, sometimes the app skips to next song before the current one is done. Any idea why this is happening, and how to solve it?
My observations:
This happens during good internet connection (both on WiFi and 3G)
It happens to both "pinned" songs (cached) and the ones that are streamed. This happens even when the whole play queue is pinned (so there isn't a problem switching from cached song to streamed song)
All my music is via All Access subscription, so no songs are uploaded by myself (this eliminates the possibility of having a corrupt mp3 file)
After the music skips to next song, if I go back to the "problematic" song it plays fine to the end
This happens randomly to any song, and if a song skips once it doesn't mean it will skip again (this I find the most confusing)
Any help would be appreciated, this random skipping is frustrating!
P.S.: I have stock, rooted Nexus 4 running 4.3.

You could try to uninstall app or wipe the app data.
Are you using earphones or headphones?
Because it might matter.
I'm using Audeo PFE 112, so ones without any controls.
I've reinstalled Google Music, let's see if it helped..
Did you manage to get a solution to this? I've had the same problem on my N4 and previously my S3. I have noticed that it seems to happen when connected via Bluetooth. It seems to also be worse if I receive a notification, even if the notification sound is muted. if I use PowerAmp it's fine. In PowerAmp there are more options available to set the audio priority and buffer size. Could be down to that but obviously we don't have those options in the Play Music app.
I've got some more info that may be of use. It happens when I have an unread notification. It may not just be on Bluetooth as I don't read the notifications whilst driving obviously. This used to happen in PowerAmp when updating to Jellybean, however they fixed it. Makes no difference if notifications are on silent or if you swipe it from the notification bar, it has to be marked read.

I still have the problem. I will try to find out if it happens more when i get notifications and will report here..
This issue has been annoying the hell out of me for a few months now on my GNex on 4.3 (running AOSPA 3.99). Every time they push an update to the Play Music app I think "Finally!" assuming it will fix this issue, but no dice.
Mine is always on Bluetooth, and happens with streamed or pinned music. It will play whatever song I left it on when I last exited the player, completely, then the next song that comes up in the queue is the one that will skip after partially playing. I haven't timed it, but it's something like 20s or so. If I manually go back to the beginning of the track it skipped, it will play it completely to the end with no issues. I have found, from messing around with it, that if I proactively skip back/forward to another track manually before hitting "Play" it doesn't seem to happen. It's acting like when the player starts up, it "thinks" it received a "Next" button press via AVRCP and advances to the next song on its own.
Is that description consistent with what you guys are experiencing?

This is what I'm experiencing. Since it doesn't happen outside of that I'm not too upset.
This latest Google Play Music app update (5.2.1224L) seems to have fixed the issue for me.

Did anyone else have this fixed? As of today, the songs still skip for no apparent reason. Its happened on my GS3 and Nexus 7 2013. Both rooted and unrooted.
Same Issue
I'm still having this problem using my nexus 5 and Nexus 10. Both are running Android 4.4.2 and app version 5.4.1413N.1048534.
I'm having the issue too. I was originally using power amp and thought it was that. But i went back to Google play and it's more prevelent there. I not only get songs that skip, i get songs that play with the wrong name( songs father down the playlist play ontop of another song name) or it adds sounds that arent supposed to be there. Ive even had a song playing in slowmotion. I used to never have this happen. Last time i did a transfer of music ( pc to phone) was almost a year ago.
I'm using the LG L90-4.4.2
I have the same problem on my head unit 4.2.2. Is it possible to force the PRIORITY for google music app?
Same skipping problem
I am having the issue quite a bit on my home wifi with sonos system playing through sonos app. Every 30 minutes or so, 2 or 3 songs in a row will play about 5 seconds and skip to the next. Really annoying when you actually like the song it is skipping. I'm using iPhones, iPads and windows computer with the sonos and it does it will all computer types. I am not hitting buttons inadvertently. Did anyone figure this one out?
I have the same problem on my ZTE Z820 Obsidian.
I have this problem, but not with this phone. I think it is related to some aspect of Google music. I am using BubbleUPnP to stream to a Raspberry Pi 3 running RuneAudio which has the Debian standard MPD player embedded in it. BubbleUPnP runs on 2 Android phones - Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (4.4.2) and Moto G5 (7.0).
When I stream from my own UPnP server, fine. When the streaming source is Google Play Music, I get these symptoms. No internet issues, no mobile data, just domestic broadband and ethernet/wifi LAN. Every 3 or 4 songs it just skips to the next track half way through a song. Maddening.
Hi guys, I have the same issue with my One Plus 5T. Did you find a solution?
thanks in advance
The problem went away, but I can't remember why. I think it may have been to do with the buffer in RuneAudio which was too small/big. Or maybe a new version of Play Music came along. Sorry.

Audio skip + random song starts playing after startup

Hi guys, I recently purchased the phone after having a Note 4 for 1.5 years. However I've noticed that when im listening to music through the samsung music player the songs sometimes will skip/stutter. Does anyone else have this problem and know a fix for this?
I've also noticed that anytime i start up the phone, the hangout message received sound will play through the music player, is there a fix for this aswell?
