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...
I recently upgraded to the newest version of Google Play Music for the All Access feature, but I've found that the app is having trouble playing music that I have on my phone, whether it is cached from the app or added manually.
The first song of an album or playlist will play, but the app displays a "Music playback error : Couldn't play the track you requested" whenever the app tries to move to the next track. This doesn't happen to streaming music strangely, only music I've cached or loaded from my computer.
Is anyone else having this issue? Let me know if you're able to reproduce this or not. I've tried re-installing the app, clearing the cached music and data, all to no avail.
I really want to love this app with its new layout, but not being able to properly play back local music is a huge issue.
BTW my phone is rooted, not sure if that's going to be an issue or not.
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.
Sometime in the past 2 months, the google assistant voice command to play music has stopped working. I get greeted on the TV screen with a message that says," Playing The Artist on Google Play Music. Sorry, something went wrong. When you're ready, give it another try." This occurs if I try using google assistant from my phone or the remote. And it occurs with both google play music and i HeartRadio.
All other voice commands I have tried will either open up the correct apps or provide the right information on the screen for the question asked and such. I am able to cast music from either iHeartradio and Google Play Music still from my phone to the TV through the Shield. I feel as if it is a music setting somewhere, but cant find the issue. I am on the latest update, which I believe is 7.7.3 on Android Oreo. The issue seemed to pop up within the past 2 months. I have scraped the internet and XDA to no avail. Any insight is appreciated.
I've also attempted to clear the cache and uninstalled both iheartradio and uninstall updates for Google Play Music and then reinstall both with no luck for the issue.
Hi All!
Finally bought my first smartwatch (Fossil Gen 5) and now trying to put some music on it, because I like to listen music during my running workout.
The most articles and youtube video's are telling to do it using Google Play Music. I put an album on my mobile, it's recognized by Google Play Music but it won't sync with my Fossil.
Checked the settings, but can't find anything what had to do with syncing. I also seem to mis the option "smartwatch" in my Google Play Music app on my mobile.
Does anyone know what I do wrong? Or can help me?
Many thanks in advance!
