pa pauzes music after a minute or two

[knightrider2001]

Poweramp version 3.39

android version 8.1 go

Poweramp starts playing music, then after a minute it pauzes the song. When i unpause Poweramp the further drive it plays continuously.

Does the pause happen with the screen off, or also when the display is on?

Is there anything logged in PA Settings=>Headset/Bluetooth=>Last Processed Commands when the pause occurs?

I think that there's some hidden screentimeout that caused the player to pause. Trying the wakelock option now. 

[knightrider2001]

probably a setting for bluetooth headphones that paused the song was the culprit. The radio has an audio optimization that kicks in, causing the line to disconnect for a second, causing the pausing.

it's definately the kicking in of viper4androd that causes the player to stop. With the kicking in of viper, the audiochannel is cut off for a second to re-route the audio, so 9.39 thinks it has to pause the song. Could you guys make an option to disable the pausing?

If the audio output is being disabled by some other app, PA would react in the same way that it would if (for example) a Bluetooth output device was turned off, it would pause rather than continuing to player music into nowhere. Try enabling the Resume on Bluetooth option in PA Settings=>Headset/Bluetooth and see if that helps.

think i tried that. It will continue playing the songs, but then viper4android isn't working. In version 9.33, it stubbornly continuous playing songs, so that's the version I'm using.

[andrewilley]

So to clarify, in PA build 933 there are no issues with music stopping, whereas with 939 something (which seems to be linked to Viper4Android's radio optimisation feature) is causing playback to pause after a few minutes. And there is nothing in PA's Last Processed Commands log.

@maxmp ?

yes, just i don't know about the logs file. Can you still fix it in future versions? What is the log file location?

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, PA Settings=>Headset/Bluetooth=>Last Processed Commands. Clear it as you start playback, and then see if there's anything new in there after the pause.

i looked at log on version 9.33, and there's a lot of media button presses, and before that resume on resume application. Even with 9.33 i have pauses, think it's the wired remote causing the pausing instead of the Poweramp app.

Isn't the log file supposed to be a file that you can upload here?

 

In the meanwhile i kinda disabled all pause settings from phone calls.

It is. Just copy and paste the log text into a comment here - ideally clear the log as soon as playback commences, and mention the exact timecode when the erroneous pause occurs. Or you can save it as a file and share that, but pasting is easier. Both options are in the three-dots menu on the Last Processed Commands screen anyway.

with Poweramp before other apps enabled, Poweramp stays active, but still pauses. Then another app is on the screen. When i then again get the Poweramp on the screen, it continuous to play again.

The device seems to be sending a double-event of KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY, which as far as I know should not trigger a pause, not sure why that is happening. @maxmp ?

maybe it's the launcher. It has built in google maps. When the radio is turned on, it jumps from one screen to the other. The audiofocus could change and the Poweramp pauses.

[maxmp]

@knightrider2001 looks like command (not real button) generated by something at system level (no package given).

[knightrider2001]

think it was the launcher.
