I have installed BTmono on my Galaxy S Blaze phone and it works for the most part, but for some reason Google Play Music app will not let me play any music when BTmono is On. I push the play button and nothing happens. The moment I turn off BTmono, Play Music starts playing like normal.
Is it just me? Is it just this model of phone? Or is it Google Play?
Edit: Here are some details on my issue.
HARDWARE:
Phone: SGH-T769
Bluetooth Headset: PS3 BT headset
SOFTWARE:
Android build: 4.0.4 T769UVLH5
Google Play Music: v4.3.615.481147
BTmono: 1.3.2
I don't know for sure (since I haven't used BTmono for years) but check if turned up your media sound all the way up on the BTApp. Turn it on and Try a different media player to see of that works..

Sorry I forgot to mention that Other players do work ( I have VPlayer for my network media). The issue is not that there is no sound, the issue is that when you push play nothing happens until I turn off BTmono.

I too have the same issue while trying to stream music via BT with Google Play Music. Everything else works flawlessly eg. YouTube, Video Player, even Pandora. However trying to hit the play button on Google Play Music, the app doesn't respond. Any help for me and the OP is gladly aprreciated.

What is the point in playing a music video.. If you're not watching it?
Then you might as well just play the mp3 file instead.
Playing a movie uses more battery than playing a song.
a couple of years ago i downloaded about 6gb of music videos from youtube which contain some legendary stuff, i converted them to mp4 and would always want to keep them on my SD card
sometimes i watch the videos but most of the time i listen to music, and i can confirm what Mobzter said, when the screen is off, the power drain is just the same as when you listen to audio
Im glad its helped ya out a little..
Btw i used meridian again for an hr today, music full volume using earphones! didnt realise 3g was running an all (screen off, playlist on) and i only lost 1%!!! ridiculous o wat!!

Running video in background ?
I to have historical videos, which I would sometimes would just like to listen and not watch,meridian does that, but it can't run in background,i mean android does support some level of multi tasking, doesn't it? It would also help in terms of battery use.is there any such video player?thnks in advance
Play only audio from your favorite video:
I have just found in market an app called: no video, which can play only audio from any video in your device,but it still can't play it in background,for time being it will help me
This is so annoying and hope someone can help me.
My Google play music I choose every track that I thumbs up becomes offline, until here all fine, the problem is when I clear the thumbs up on the track they disappear from my playlist but after less than a minute Google music start to download them again.
Does anyone know how to remove it for sure?
All this using the google play music app on android, not on browser.
Hi just got my new Nexus 5!!eek! It's amazing and when I tried to put all my music on to it, I opened Google play music, all the music was there but when I click on any song, it says music playback error cannot play track. This is really annoying. I have tried a reboot as I did some research (others are having this issue) and also I've tried settings, apps, media storage, clear data, which also has fixed most people's. I use mp3s from my own laptop and don't download them from Google play by the way. Help much appreciated!! Thanks!

Hi,
I've got Nexus 5 with stock ROM. I can't stream from Google Play Music to Chromecast. I immediately get 'Could not play' message once I switch output to Chromecast. Plays fine on the phone itself. I also can stream to Chromecast just fine from computers at home/Chrome browser and I can also stream from my HTC Desire HD using that very Google Play Music. Something's wrong with Nexus 5 setup or Google Play Music itself. Any clues? Thanks!

Not sure....works just fine on my N5 to Chromecast.
Hmm... What's strange is that I can stream YouTube from my N5 to Chromecast fine as well, it's just GPM. The only thing that I did to the phone is rooted and flashed Dalvik and Bionic patches. Trying to troubleshoot, I flashed stock Dalvik back, but it did not help. OK, perhaps the next step would be to go clean and flash the whole stock ROM and wipe everything.
brianfields33, are you on stock ROM? Thanks.
This may seem obvious but have you updated everything on Google Play? The Play Services (I think that's it) needs to be latest version. Probably Google Music, too.
I have an LG G2 and have no issue casting GM.
Also, are these local files you are trying to stream? You cannot stream local files from GPM, only ones you actually have in your GPM library. You'll have to use other apps if you want to play local music files.
kimtyson - yes, everything was updated to the latest versions.
korockinout13 - I mentioned that I can play music without streaming. So, this is not type of a file issue. And I actually was streaming from the GPM library.
I figured the issue. I did a factory reset and got GPM streaming working. Then I started adding my apps. It appeared that Kaspersky Antivirus blocks streaming from GPM. That's strange since the same config works fine from HTC Desire HD. Anyway, it works now and I know where to dig further. Thanks all for replies!
Hey everyone,
I have a question, but first let me explain what it is that it happening.
I like to listen to music in the car. Phone auto connects to the BT stereo. I use Spotify to listen to music which is my preferred app. But android also opens google play music app as well and if the google app has things in queue, it will play over my spotify. How can i make it so that it doesn't auto start Google Play Music, but starts ONLY spotify.
Note* if i have the Google Play Music listening queue, it will play spotify first but it will still open the app but with nothing playing. I want to stop the app from opening all together but still have the spotify app opening by itself.
I guess Tasker can do this but I would like to avoid using it if don't have to.
Thanks!
Can someone move this to the Q&A section instead of General?

In future, you need to use the "report post" feature to report the thread to be moved for you, the mods don't search threads looking for comments asking them to do stuff. I'll report this one for you.

This app lets you choose which player to start when connected to BT: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.start.and.play.music.player&hl=en
Of course then that's just another app you have lying around, and if you already have Tasker...
cymbaline24, the app works great, Thanks! it does what i want and that's not opening googleplay.
