Shuffle mode keeps turning off and Repeat keeps turning on

[mporcas]

Thanks Andre. I've installed the APK, overwriting the Play version. I'll test it out tomorrow (I have a long drive planned!) and report back.

I did try enabling beta versions on Play but it wouldn't give me the new version. I guess it doesn't trigger until a new beta version arrives in the Play store??

[andrewilley]

@mporcas The Play Store beta versions are sometimes a little behind the website releases. So the first people who get a beta update will always be those who manually install it, and thus they know that they've done it.

I got build 980 from Play Store beta. Thank you so much for adding that filter. It'll be nice to hit next on my steering wheel at the end of a folder and not wonder if it's going to loop back to the beginning of the same folder.

@andrewilley:

Thank you very much for the very quick answer. I test it and get in touch here again in a few days.

[Richard Robertson]

It happened again. I have it set to ignore all shuffle/repeat Bluetooth commands but it did it anyway. I still don't understand why my car would be trying to set the repeat mode when I hit next but somehow it got around the filter setting.

I can confirm. The problem continues to occur for me - although "Ignore Reteat/Shuffle" is activated.

I also increased "Ignore Bluetooth Commands" to 10 seconds - unfortunately it didn't work either.

[automp]

Same here. My cars audio system (Ford/Sync) keeps setting play mode to repeat. 

I updated to the beta 981 version and set all repeat/shuffle bluetooth commands to ignore. No effect at all. 

I'm using Android 14/OneUI 6.0 too.

@sorosch @automp Could you both confirm what you see in the Last Processed Commands log when this happens. Thanks.

Andre

[automp]

@andrewilley 

Sure... these are the commands happening when the phone connects to the car.
Each time i try changing the play mode (press the button) then, the last visible command keeps showing up again. The play mode stays on repeat

I tried again other Bluetooth devices (various Bluetooth headphones, soundbar, bluetooth radio) - Poweramp works correctly for everyone - only if the smartphone connects with the carradio, the problem occurs ("Zur nächsten Liste springen" --> will be set up again and again "Wiederhole Liste")

[maxmp]

@sorosch thanks for the logs - the Shuffle/Repeat ignoring logic will be improved in the next build.

[sorosch]

@maxmp Great to hear - Thank you very much. I wish you a all a happy new year

[mporcas]

I don't know if it's relevant but the repeat and shuffle buttons on the head unit in my car don't actually appear to do anything when playing from my phone. Could there have been some changes to the Google APIs or the Android Auto APIs that are causing both the issues previously mentioned in this post, and the buttons not working? Is there a mis-match between the shuffle mode codes, i.e. does 'repeatMode=2' mean something different now and it's trying to confirm between the systems and resetting it due to the differing codes? Just a thought...

[Richard Robertson]

Any update on the filter not working? Even with ignore shuffle/repeat on the Bluetooth menu, it's still forcing album/folder repeat mode when I want it to play the next one (repeat off).

[andrewilley]

Yes, Max said it would be further improved in the next beta build.

Andre

[Donnie1490]

Hello new here

Any update on this? This has been the most annoying bug, it only happens for me when connecting to my car Bluetooth when a shuffle is already set. I have a bluetooth speaker in my house that I tested this on, connecting and disconnecting and it doesn't do this, it continue the shuffle with no problem

[andrewilley]

@Donnie1490 Make sure you are running the latest beta build of Poweramp (981) and enable Settings=>Headset/Bluetooth=>Ignore Repeat/Shuffle. That should make Poweramp ignore the Repeat or Shuffle  commands that are being sent to it. If this does not work for you, please post your 'Last Processed Commands' log here (from the same menu).

Andre

[mporcas]

Hi @andrewilley. Mine still does it, despite upgrading to build 981 back in Jan. My logs are currently blank, not sure why, but I can post once I have some. I'm sure someone mentioned that this would be improved in the next beta. It's been a while since 981 came out, is the next one expected soon?

[Richard Robertson]

Same here. It still changes repeat mode over Bluetooth on me even with ignore all enabled. That was why I asked about it again in January.

[Matt Gertz]

This hit me again yesterday as well (I'm not using the beta, I should mention -- not even sure how to do that, TBH) -- I was demonstrating a new playlist to a friend, and I didn't notice that "Shuffle Just Songs" got changed to "Shuffle All Available Songs" when my truck's Bluetooth (Ford Sync 3/Android Auto) connected, and the next thing I knew, I was suddenly playing a Christmas song once the current acid jazz track finished.  This sort of thing has happened about 20% of the time since my phone got upgraded to Android 14 in November, and so as of last night I've temporarily shifted to a free (albeit much more limited) player until this problem gets worked-around. 

I'd really, really rather use Poweramp because it's awesome and a lot more fully-featured that pretty much any other player -- but, paradoxically, the fact that it has so many shuffle and replay options makes it more affected by this Android 14 behavior change than many other players.  Most other players I've seen limit shuffling and replay to whatever the current album or playlist is, so it's not as big of a deal if those get toggled by this Bluetooth weirdness -- you can fix that from the controls on the steering wheel, as you are still "in" the current "category."  But if a Bluetooth change happens that takes you out of the current album or playlist (for me, it's been the shuffle-shift mentioned above), the only recourse is to hope that verbal commands will work correctly to re-select the playlist or album -- beyond that, I have to hope for a very long red traffic light to do the several clicks and swipes to get me back to where I was.

(There was some indication that Android was going to investigate why they were suddenly messing up player apps with this Bluetooth oddness back in November, but I have been unable to locate any info on how that was coming along... I feel bad for you Poweramp folks.)

[andrewilley]

@Matt Gertz You can get the latest Poweramp beta builds from the Download tab at the top of the page. Currently build 981 is the latest: 

This may allow you to fix your issue, but a number of users have reported that it is still happening with their Android 14 variants even with the new 'ignore' option enabled. Max is planning to add a better workaround in the next release.

[andrewilley]

@mporcas I can't see anything in that log that should be affecting Shuffle/Repeat status. @maxmp might be able to comment further though.

I think what is usually the culprit is this sort of thing:

Andre

 

[mporcas]

Ha ha, just noticed it doesn't say anything about me changing the repeat. Will try again tomorrow. Sorry!

[Richard Robertson]

Yeah, the Bluetooth log can fill up pretty fast and the repeat line isn't always obvious. Sometimes need to scroll up or down the log to find it in my experience.
