Has anyone has Spotify able to cast to the nexus player yet? I know they said an update would be out, but have not heard or seen any news about it.
Thanks!
wanted to try it out yesterday but didn't get to.
I'll set myself a reminder to try it out tonight and update this post, so stay tuned.
EDIT: Ok, I tried it. Got the latest Spotify update (the one which mentions Chromecast support in its changelog) and tried casting, however no cast button is appearing. In order to verify I directly opened the youtube app on the same phone after and in youtube I got the cast button...

From what I saw, they weren't adding a Cast button for Spotify, but rather listing it under the Devices Available option when playing, like Spotify Connect. Which makes sense I guess, you wouldn't want two completely separate interfaces for what is basically the same thing.
Doesn't appear there on mine though for the Nexus Player.
Nexus Player still not showing under Spotify Connect on you're phones app? Like with the new Chromecast update?

Hello,
Since HC 3.1 (I don't remember with 3.0.1) when i'm listening an album, the music player don't go to the next song when the screen is off. The music stops ! I have to wake up the tablet and then the player goes to the next song. It's quite irritating.
When I google this issue, I find out a lot of threads. This issue is known for a very long time now and for a lot of devices. It's because such issues that the iPad remains the best !
Do you know a fix ?
My tablet is unrooted.
Thanks.
i use KEEP SCREEN to let the screen on.
Some player like meridian player has an option to keep the screen on .
These informations are very interesting. Thanks.
I use nemoPlayer instead of Music, for this very reason.
NemoPlayer (called Acer Media in HC3.2) has the same issue only in 3.2. It's a shame.
3.2 fix default player
But does 3.2 fix the bug for the music player?
don't know !
no 3.2 for instance

Well isn't that special.
Well, maybe I'll buy PowerAMP when the trial is up.
Have you tried my app, Hive Player? The full version has code in it to prevent sleep, it works fine on my Xoom under Honeycomb 3.2.
Hive Player is awesome!
@nfalletta, your app hive player is awesome! It's so fast. I've only tried the lite version so far but if I knew it would fix it I would sell you my firstborn for the full version
I didn't realize that one of the differences between lite and full was sleep prevention. I'll give it a go tonight.
My experiences are as follows:
default music player - will continue for a random number of tracks, usually gets to the end of the second track, then pauses at the end. Pressing lock/power button on side of tablet will wake the screen and playback will resume.
Hive Player lite - stops after about 15 seconds, which probably relates to the lack of sleep prevention code nfalletta mentioned
AcerMedia - behaves almost identically to the default player
sweetness and sunshine
Hive player (full) has been working for over an hour now
@nfalletta, Sweet app, its the first app I've bought, and easily worth it
I have the same issue with Pandora and Tiny Shark.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get them to work w/o having the screen on.

Great, glad to hear it. I was going to also suggest the default (googles music player?) should work fine as well, and has the same method of sleep prevention but I guess not! Some tablets are different I guess and not all apps will run that properly, until a fix is made of course. Thanks for buying Hive Player, I should be releasing an update soon for File/Folder support and track sorting for albums.

That's about time. I've bought it but I'm not using ATM because of the missing track sorting. Also the volume is always zero when I start Hive Player.

Same here. Waiting impatiently an upgrade.
Reviving an old thread, but this hasn't been fixed yet has it?
The last update of music.apk (the stock music player from google) fixed the bug.
Hi all
Anyone here using Google Play Music?
Coming from a GN, I got used to the pure android stuff, Google Play Music being one of them.
I listen to music streaming from Google Music in my car on my phone (connected via 3.5 jack to my aux) almost every day, with the GN when I wanted to skip a song\pause\play I would've simply turn on the screen and use the lock-screen Google music thingie that popped there every time Google Play Music was running, but now it doesn't seem to be implemented into the s4, so I need to swipe down the status bar (considering I'm not using some kind of security lockscreen) and find the next\pause\play buttons among all the accidentally clickable stuff there... OR unlock the phone and use the Play Music app itself.
Now I'm not ranting about one more or less button to press here, really, it's just that while I'm driving every millionth of a second that my eyes are on the road counts, so I liked it the way it used to be, where I didn't even need to look at the screen..
Long story I know..
Anyway, any simple solution? or would I'll just have to get used to it?
p.s - not planning on moving to the stock music player as all of my music is in the Google Music cloud and I really like it that way.
Got the same issue. Sometimes it'll work fine, sometimes nothing on lock screen. Generally I find Google Play Music pretty damn annoying and horrible. Would love a solution as well.
Holy mother of all tits IT WORKS.. I just played a song and the damn thing is there in the lock screen looking at me..
Yep, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... Would love to understand why.
Does anyone know a solution for this? Perhaps another recommended music player?

I just got a new Android TV/Nexus Player device. And was able to find other media apps either installed as soon as I set things up or via going to the Google Play Store app in the Android TV device. But I have not been able to find Netflix. And when I go to Google Play using a PC web browser, the page for the Netflix app says that Netflix is not compatible with my "No carrier Asus Nexus Player".
Anyone know why? I've searched here and been unable to find an answer so far. I know there's the ability to side load apps. But being new to Nexus Player, I'd just like to get Netflix quickly installed via Play Store if possible.
Any help is appreciated.
Worked with Netflix support. Did a hard reset and entered my Google credentials manually. And Netflix is there now.
Just setup my Nexus Player... same issue. Netflix is MIA on the device and Google Play Store says Nexus Player isn't compatible.
Can you provide a bit more detail on the fix Netflix gave you? Hard reset what? The NP? Manually entered Google credentials? Where? TIA.

Reset to factory settings
After you reset to Factory settings, the first thing on screen will be a prompt for Language/Region. Be sure you pick the correct one for where you are, since Netflix won't work with some selections. I don't know which don't work. Mine is "English US". After that, you'll be asked to setup your Google account. Which you can do via web browser or entering your Google ID/password manually on the Nexus Player. I entered my manually on the Nexus Player.
I've attempted resets and manually entering passwords, disabling location, enabling location and still no luck.
This is a brand new out of the box Nexus Player yet I cannot access Netflix due to it thinking I'm "out of region" or something.
Just got mine today and same problem. What I did was go to settings>apps (under the device menu). Under system apps, find Google play store and click it. Click force stop and OK it. Clear cache, then clear data. Click open and Netflix should be there.
Same problem.
try update your Nexus player to lolipop 5.1.1 in Setting > apps > About
go on the google play website and find Netflix compatible with android tv
Same problem; updated to 5.1.1, factory reset, updated all apps, still no Netflix available on Google Play.
So I downloaded the APK found at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/netflix-apk-t3121671
and installed it. Worked perfectly.
It seems there are newer versions of the apk (http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/) but I haven't tried it.
I don't have a micro USB adapter to use an external storage, so I placed the apk on a windows share in the network and pulled it with ES File Explorer on the Nexus Player.
You need to allow the installation of non-Play Store apps in Settings, Security.
BR,
Joao

Netflix will not show/install if it detects root

Just grab the APK file somewhere legit. That's what I did when it didn't appear in the Play Store. Maybe you can even request it from them. I dunno.
So now with songza gone. I tried to using google play music on my Nexus player but it seems to be stuck on an old version. 5.9.1854R when the current version is 6.3.2317v. And I need that version to get the Songza playlist items that have now been incorporated into google play music.. but my nexus player will not update.. it tells me my old version is current. Any one else having this issue?
I have noticed the same thing. The only thing I was able to do to get the streaming playlists on the NP right now was to cast from Google Play Music on an Android device. Google should have planned this better.
Hmmm yea just realized this as well.
Ya I also just did a force install of the latest google play music APK and it just crashes when you open the program. Wonder when they will fix this...
Was coming on to post the same results.. Wonder if play services needs to be updated as well?
I just subscribed for a month and it showed up, so it seems to be just a paid service

songza features are free I can use them on my phone and tablet and even goto the website and use it like songza worked... for free.. Its just not working on the nexus player or Android TV interface.
I'm having the same problem. Works fine on all my other devices. I'm in Canada, in case this may be a regional thing.
My subscription expired. and access to the streaming gone as well
Hello guys
Try to clear cache and app data, worked for me. Using stock Android 7.0 and latest GPM version.
Hello my androids,
Does anyone of you know how i can use spotify as the default music player? Like it will start up when i start my car, just like what the default music player does.
Thanks!
Slick'
Spotify won't do that. If you dont have a data connection, Spotify takes several clicks to start. Which is why I am going back to Google Play Music. GPM will start from the last part of the song you were on like an old cd player would.
if you do not have a data connection at start (i have Spotify Premium and my songs downloaded), I have to click on Spotify, wait for it to say i have no data connection, then click on my library, then click on playlists, then click on the playlist i want, then click the shuffle button

Thx for the reply man:good:! Yea i do the same as you do, guess nothing to do about that then, would be grate if this would be possible some day.
I just got the new Joying 2GB RAM, Intel units, mine is the 8 inch. So i have currently gone back to Google Play Music. I also have the paid plan there. so far it works great.
I start a playlist, drive, park, turn off the Jeep. Come back to the Jeep, start the Jeep, and when the unit comes back on, as soon as it recognizes the external storage, it pops up GPM and has the song I was listening to on the screen, I just have to press the Play button.
As an added bonus, Google Play Music allows you to assign a Playlist to a Widget. For example, say I have a playlist called "Jeep Beats", then I can go to the Widget section, find the one for GPM, and when I put it on the homescreen it pops up asking me what playlist to assign it to, and i pick Jeep Beats.
later on, be it an hour or a week, I get in the Jeep, on the home screen press my Jeep Beats widget and it opens up Google Play Music right to that Playlist.
double added bonus, GPM does not restrict your number of downloads like Spotify. well they do, but it is like 50k or something, whereas Spotify has 3,333.
But i love my Spotify
Subscribed, interested in this as well!
You can set the default navigation app (at least on my Joying), would be great to have something similar for the music/radio apps.

Hi Mike,
I know this is from an old thread but I have noticed you have many posts in the head unit section and was hoping you could help.
I have an unbranded 4.4.4 headunit and I was wondering if it was possible to set GPM or any other music app as my default player as you have described in the post and if so what steps would I have to follow.
Thank you very much!
What do you mean by Default? I just have the app on my home screen

With Gustdens no-kill key-mod you can add it to the laucher.sh to make it (re)start when the unit comes back from sleep.
Note that there is no November version yet. The versions go to and including the September ROM.

sorry must've missed that. Does gusteng's mod support the 4.4 devices too. From what it looked like it was only for 5.1 and above?

No, they do not. I was so under the impression that you were on a joying that I forgot to look.
