w3wilkes Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 After updating to PA 948 my car starts with the correct song info displayed but then after a couple of tracks it will miss a song change and display 1 song behind what is actually playing. Connection to car is just bluetooth, not Android Auto. This is from a M3U playlist of 79 tracks loaded and playing from the Queue. This worked correctly in PA 945.

Solution w3wilkes Posted January 22 Author Solution Share Posted January 22 Since my main use of Poweramp is in my car via bluetooth and from the Queue I've backed off to PA 945 so my track now playing displayed on my head unit now matches the track that's actually playing. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next release beyond PA 948. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cernko Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have the same issue! In addition my Hyndai Ioniq car multimedia unit supports displaying album covers via Bluetooth. This feature seems to be only supported by very specific Android devices, e.g. my OnePlus 8 pro with OxygenOS 13 works (I think starting with OxygenOS 12 already), my wife's OnePlus Nord with current OxygenOS (not sure if this is also 13 but at least 12) does not support this. However even before the latest Poweramp update the cover display showed the same bug: first cover image matches currently played title, but after switching to the next track, the cover of the previously played song is displayed. It doesn't matter if you jump to the next song by a button or Poweramp switches to the next song after completing the current one. But I'm not sure, this is Poweramp related because AFAIK other players (e.g. Spotify) show the same buggy behavior. Tests with a Apple mobile of a friend indicate, that IOS devices seem not be having this bug. With the latest Poweramp version, this behavior is also happening for the text info (song, artist, album). Hopefully the next version will not only fix the text info but also finally the cover image display via bluetooth. I'm willing to provide more detailed debug info if required. Just let me know what and how to collect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 @Patrick Cernko thanks for the report. Please note that Poweramp "Sends" the image for the notification. It's the image from notification which is taken by bluetooth stack and further processed. If you have one image in notification and another - in headunit, obviously bug is not in Poweramp. With almost each build some workarounds are added for platform bugs like that, so you may get better results with latest beta (ATM - 953) build. Thanks!

andrewilley Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 @Patrick Cernko My Hyundai i30 is around the same age as the Ioniq, and I've found connecting via Android Auto is much more reliable and feature-rich than using plain Bluetooth alone (even though the audio still goes via BT). Does your headunit support Android Auto? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cernko Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @andrewilley yes, it does. But only wired. I don't like pulling out my mobile every time I enter my car and plug it in. Besides this current issue, BT audio is perfectly fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cernko Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @maxmp Thanks for your quick answer! I already assumed that the buggy cover display is not caused by Poweramp. Could you please provide me some more technical details about this BT "send image" stuff. I currently have no idea about good keywords to search and report this bug at OnePlus, my phone manufacturer. I just updated to the 954 beta, was running 953 this morning AFAIK when I drove to office: both bugs (text and image) where still present. Will test with 954 in the afternoon driving home.

andrewilley Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @Patrick Cernko Yes, I use a USB cable connection in the car as our generation of Hyundai headunits doesn't seem to support wireless Android Auto (not sure if they support 5GHz wi-fi access, which would be a limitation). Not a biggie for me though as plugging it in also charges the phone at the same time. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cernko Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @andrewilley My Ioniq has a wireless dock for charging mobiles. Not that I charge often in my car, but when I do, I use that dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @Patrick Cernko My car has a wireless charging pad too, but my phone doesn't have wireless charging. I wish it did. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cernko Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @maxmp Just tested 954 beta during lunch break. Still the same issues with info texts from the last track starting after jumping to second song after starting playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @Patrick Cernko sorry, can’t reproduce this. (Also, it’s hard to decipher your last sentence but I guess something is wrong with the track info). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cernko Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 @maxmp When starting playback in my car, it's head unit correctly displays the current song title, artist and album as text info and and the album cover as graphics. Switching to the next song, the head unit most likely starts to display the song, artist, album and cover of the last song played. After that it always displays the information of the previous song played independent how ofter the player jumps (or is instructed to jump) to the next track. If you cannot reproduce it, please let me know, how to enable debugging and what kind of debug output you need to analyse the bug. I currently downgraded PA to 945 and can confirm @w3wilkes , that the issue (display of outdated information) is gone again with title, artist and album texts but remains with cover images.

maxmp Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 @Patrick Cernko you can do a system Developer options / Bug report / Full report right after the issue happens, and please send that to gpmaxmpz@gmail.com There is a chance firmware doesn't like some advanced Poweramp option. The ones which may potentially affect media APIs are (you can search for them in Settings, then toggle them, change tracks and check if it helps or not): (if you use Hi-Res output) Emulate Media Stream (for Hi-Res output) (enable if disabled) Album Art / API Compatibility Album Art / Always send album art Album Art / Send High Resolution Album Art (disable if enabled) Misc / Now Playing List For Connected Devices/Apps (this should be ON) Spoiler I would add that Poweramp properly updates the media info which should be then sent to BT device. That info is the same as can be seen in Android 12 media controller in notification, in log, at lockscreen etc. Any issue here will be immediately noticeable by all users on Android 12+ as their notifications won't update. Now why it may not work for you - firmware has a specific bug which requires specific workaround. Bugs like this happens, but usually resolved by OEM if users complain enough (e.g. common for MIUI, where betas are always broken), or if the bug is persistent and reproducible, some workaround can be added to player as well (device log may help here).

andrewilley Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Full developer options logs can get quite big, might be better to share via Dropbox/etc and email the link if the zip file itself is too big for your email. It can also take a little while to generate and save the log, but you'll get a notification when it's done. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilSlayerDante Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I disabled all the Android Auto options in the Misc settings, and the track info on my stereo has been displaying correctly ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michal Pospíchal Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 This! Thanks, disabling the Android Auto options helped. Had exactly the same issue as OP with my Yamaha RX-D485 Recevier, song info was basically lagging 1 song behind - it started in sync, then second song did not change, and the third and any other was updated, but with song info -1. It started just few updates back, so whatever was changed recently is not correct. I do not use Android Auto, but if I was, wondering what would be the possibilities here, to have AA options turned on but have lagging song info anywhere else, or sacrifice AA?
