Now playing - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

One thing I miss on my Nexus Player is the ability to see what music is playing when it goes into daydream. Been looking for an app to do this but can't find anything. Is there any way of doing this?

Music player

Anyone know of a good music player which has a resume function for each track?
I had Pocket Player on my HD2 which allowed me to stop one track, play another and then go back to the first track and continue where I left off. Used it a lot on audiobooks.
Alternatively, something that will allow me to set a bookmark on different tracks.
Even better would be one that does that and also still has music controls on the lockscreen like the stock player.
Not sure if I've come across anything like you want specifically for music.
If it's just for audiobooks, then try Ambling BookPlayer. It's pretty good at auto bookmarking what you are listening to, and comes with a widget too to play and pause books.
I'm using Ambling BookPlayer now and it's very good, particularly for my audiobooks and recorded drama. It's a bit of work to load the mp3 files into its library as it doesn't recognise the m3u playlists I have and it does not natively support album art but I liked it enough to buy the Pro version.
Mortplayer
Mortplayer Audiobooks in the market. Free. I used to use Mortplayer in WinMo and this seems much the same. Very reliable at saving where you are in each track. I have only used the android version for a few days but it seems OK and the WinMo one was rock solid, even picked up where I left off before a soft reset. Oh and there's a widget for it and it shows in notifications.
Worth a try.
im using mix zing lite

Touchwiz music player

ok just switched from a international galaxy s here, enjoying the amazing speed of the Epic, it's crazy fast but I miss many of the touchwiz features, like the music player, I loved the Equalizer and the UI of the touchwiz music player, but the biggest feature I miss is the music controls in the notification bar and lock screen, it made multitasking a joy !
any idea if we can install the touchwiz music player in our phones ? is there a APK or something ? will the status pull down controls and Lockscreen controls work ?
You could try searching the system dump of the i9000 t see if you can find the apks, but even then it might not work...

I sold my phone, I have only the Epic 4g now. I'll try over at the galaxy s forum.
i switch from the vibrant and thats the only thing i miss please if u find the way let us know
does the EQ work over other apps too? like Pandora?
I, too, would like to have that music player. I would also greatly enjoy having the video player so I can adjust brightness and have it save where I left off on the movie.
The stupid stock one we have restarts the movie every time I navigate away.

We should start up a bounty for this. I'd pay money to have the video player

If we could get a system dump of the I9000, we could try to port it to the The Boss ROM.
for video I'm using rock player, it's not as smooth in playing back certain filetypes as the stock player{only a few 720P MKVs everything else works perfectly}, but it has all those features like remembering where you left, adjusting brightness etc.
BTW I'm thinking the Froyo update should bring the music player, cause every other galaxy s has it ,there's no reason why the Epic shouldn't get it.
it the mean time I'm using MiXing along with quickdesk to control music playback in the background, which is nowhere near as not as good ,but it works.
also does anyone know a music player app that can play flac files ,thats another thing I miss ?
I'm going to try and port this over if I get the chance tonight. Ill report back my progress.

Guys, for video just get mvideoplayer from the market. Puts rokplayer to shame, handles everything including mkv with subs and resumes where you left off.
As for the music player, having never used or seen the music player on the other galaxy phones, i really don't know what i am missing as i am fine with the stock Android music player.
Is it possible to pull those features off the Fascinate because I think mine has them but he maybe talking about something else.

One that works even better is Wuzhenhua Player...I've yet to find a video that won't play using it. I tried the MPlayer that you suggested, but it wouldn't play videos that Wuz still does, so I'm sticking w/ Wuz.
It's not available on the market, but I found it using Google. The latest version, as far as I know, is 4.1 which has been converted to English...worked great on my Moment, and even better on my Epic.
I've tried attaching the .apk, but I keep getting errors...I'll try again later. EDIT: Got it attached.
Please post questions in General section.

Queuing up Music

I am looking for a way to queue up music to play after whatever is playing now.
Either by finding a good Music Playing App that will allow me to queue up tracks OR by customizing the stock music App. I'd rather customize the stock App as I like the way it works.
Any ideas? I have searched the forum extensively for this - have I missed it somewhere?
doubletwist
Doubletwist player allows to queue up music.
Could always try winamp for android http://www.winamp.com/android
Thanks I will check those out!
Anyone seen any way of customizing the stock music player to do this?
Poweramp also allows you to Queue a song for playback.
The stock music app does this

MixZing does that

PlayerPro also allows you to easily change the song order. It's kinda pricy (get the trial first), but you wouldn't regret using it. Tried many others, always came back to it. And IIRC, TTPod also has this. Haven't used it for quite some time, so I might be wrong. Just experiment.

Stock Music App

The Stock music app stops playing after a song finishes when the screen is off. The next song comes up after the screen is unlocked. Is there a way to stop that? If not, is there a better free music app for the transformer?
Thanks.
Amazon mp3 is pretty good and should be in tablet market.
Try searching for songbird or winamp also idk if they are ported to honeycomb yet but both are solid free options.
Trust me (-..-) im from the webs
Winamp is a little buggy, but it works. Amazon music player is good (but I the cloud player doesn't work as well as it could). Songbird has a nice layout, but you can't scroll through an individual song. They all play music after the Transformer shuts down.
I think the stock player has the best layout of them all, so I hope it gets an update to fix this.
Win amp does not allow me to search through my music. It force closes the app almost immediately. I am only able to play music through the widget.

[Q] Google Play Music [not] on lock screen

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?
