Android Auto music pause on start

[Robert56]

Android auto starts plays couple of seconds a track then pauses until I toggle though the screens to hit the play button, anyone has any ideas to start and keep the music playing.

Yes i do have the resume playing on start up ticked.

Play and Play/Pause commands can be triggered in a number of ways. After the pause happens, take a look at PA Settings=>Headset/Bluetooth=>Last Processed Commands and see if the log throws any light on what caused playback to stop. You can cut'n'paste the results here.

@maxmp would be able to confirm more, but it looks to me as though your headunit is sending a MEDIA_PAUSE keycode button event via Bluetooth:

08:21:25.117 PSMediaButtonReceiver android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON
KEYCODE_MEDIA_PAUSE ACTION_DOWN name=Virtual source=0x0 sources=0x301 virt=true repeat=0 actionTime=2248810 sourcePak=com.android.bluetooth isAvrcp flags=0x0 playerState=2

Usually an ACTION_DOWN (button press) event should be followed by an accompanying BUTTON_UP event though, to say the button has been released again.

There is also a Bluetooth disconnection event just afterwards, which seems strange.

Thanks for taking the time at looking, hopefully maxmp can also help,  as it looks like others are also having issues, regards Rob

You could also play around with how your playback auto-start is triggered (by Android Auto setting or by Poweramp setting) in case that makes a difference.

But if your device is indeed sending a PAUSE command, Poweramp is doing exactly as it should.

Sorted, button on steering wheel seems to determine to start or pause on starting of android auto even though everything else starts and disregards button, so solution is start android auto - play music via toggling android auto to Poweramp - pause music with steering wheel button - on restart it now plays on start.

Did it again with a second press of the pause and again it failed to play on start!
