Cook Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Is it possible to clear the Mini Player so there is no song playing at all? There always seems to be a song in it and it overrides my podcast app on Bluetooth in the car even with Poweramp app closed. I tried to find how to do this and couldn't find anything Thanks Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/28116-mini-player-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 No, Poweramp always has something that it considers to be the "current" song, and that will be shown on the Player Screen and the mini-player at the bottom of Library views.

Cook Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Thanks for thereply.. even when the app is closed? I could live with it if it was just when the app was open, any way of just stopping the app and killing what's playing?

Fitzian Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Nothing's stopping you from hitting x in the notification to remove it, if swiping the app away in the app switcher doesn't do it on its own.

andrewilley Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Android from about release 12 onward requires something to be considered as the current media player app, and as PA has a background service that is often the one it chooses. You could try turning off Settings=>Look and Feel=>Notifications=>Keep Service and also Keep Notification in the same menu.

Cook Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 On my device those options were off anyway... Its a bit of a pain and something that's probably going to put me off using PA as a player.

Cook Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Well I think I have found a simple solution. Settings - Headset/Bluetooth - Resume On Bluetooth - (switch off) This seems to stop this happening.

andrewilley Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 So are you saying that the Android media status panel (at the the of the pull-down notification area) does not go away when you stop playback? Even with all of those Keep Notification controls turned off? [Edit] Turning off Resume on Bluetooth would certainly stop the issue of playback restarting, but not the notification remaining present.

Cook Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Yes that was the case... Even if I forced stopped PA app when Bluetooth connected the 'now playing' song started up again... The notification as such wasn't a problem it was the overriding restart of the 'now playing' song. Whatever turning off bluetooth resume sorts out the problem for me Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/28116-mini-player-question/#findComment-130777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 To be fair, the "Resume on Bluetooth" option was only doing exactly what it said on the tin. Andre Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/28116-mini-player-question/#findComment-130781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cook Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Yep... But I didn't know it was there until I found it! 😂 Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/28116-mini-player-question/#findComment-130782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
