Can't Stream Audio Over Network - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cant find a way to stream music from Nexus 5 to my denon avr 2113 receiver over wireless network. I have no issues doing it from my iPhone, HTC 1 and Samsung Note 2.
I tried default music player on Nexus 5 and even installed few other music app, but they don't even display stream icon on the UI to choose my receiver.
Am I missing something or Nexus cannot do it? Please suggest. Thanks

With my old phone I used the app Skifta. Worked with my denon 2112. Haven't tried it with my nexus 5 yet.

Media control on xoom using android hd2

I have a US wifi xoom rooted with HC3.1, and I also have an HTC hd2 running android. My question is when i dock my zoom and want to watch movies or play music through my TV or stereo is there an app I can install that will allow me to control playback through my hd2? Fuse it would be nice to not have to get up to control everything. Anyone heard of an app like this or know of one being developed?

[Q] Music Player that supports A2DP?

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, so move it if it's not.
I have a Desire HD with MIUI and i'm looking for an app that supports A2DP. I think the stock HTC Sense player supports it, but i'm not sure. But i can't use it now since, well, MIUI. I've searched for A2DP on the Market, but didn't find anything special.
So does anyone have some ideas on how i can get this to work?
Thanks in advance
I think you are looking for "mort player"
The built in Android music app should work just fine...as well as apps like WinAmp... I can't imaging any media app now days that wouldn't.
I have HD bluetooth stereo headphones and they work just fine using any media app.
Thanks Trying to connect to the car stereo. Gonna try Mort Player and some other ones.

AD2P isn't something that is based on the music player being used. It is based on the device hardware. If their bluetooth hardware supports it, then it will work. The only aspect of AD2P that I believe is controlled with the software are the playback controls.
If you are hooking up to your car audio, it might have to do with the car's bluetooth hardware/software. Sometimes you can take your car to the dealer and they can install software/driver updates for your car's bluetooth. May try calling them and seeing if there is an update for your car.
I have the Desire HD, and it supports A2DP. I'm trying to connect it to Pioneer FH-P80BT (Clicky) which supports Bluetooth audio aka A2DP.
I'm running MIUI btw.
Then in theory it should work just fine. If it simply won't work no matter what you try with your phone...then contact the dealer and see if there is an update for your car's audio software.
I'll test it further tomorrow and see if it works
I thank you all for your replies
And yes, i'll press the thanks button when i'm around a computer

Hello ppl, sorry to revisit this again, but I have Miui on my DHD with a Motorola HT820. For some reason the BT audio for call work great, but audio streaming will start and then drop out (no sound, but the music player is still going), then suddenly the BT connection will drop. Any ideas?
On the Sense 3.0 this function works fine. Just to make sure its not the headphones, I paired it with my Iphone 4 and that too worked flawlessly. Could there be a bug related to the Miui port for DHD?
Thanks for any help
Since this is MIUI related it might be better to ask in a MIUI thread

[Q] Smartwatch 2 + Music app + Nexus 5

Hi everyone,
I just got my Nexus 5 + KitKat and I tryed using the SW2, and everything seems ok, except the Music player as each time I try opening the app on the watch or starting playing music (with Google Music) on the phone, the Extra Smart Music app force closed.
(this app play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.extension.music )
I was using the Sony SW1 with a 2.3 device and music was OK with Google Music.
Did some of you had any issue with this app ? Or any other solution. It was the one great thing I loved doing with the first watch!
Thanks in advance

Did you ever resolve this? I'm using the SW2 on a Nexus 5 and I tried 2 different music apps that both force close when I try to open them on my watch. Very annoying.
Nop did not find a way...
I will try to get it to Sony, but don't really know if they care that much for nexus 5 users right now...
Ok so I got it to work with Augmented SmartWatch

for google music open preferred music apps to "register" then you should be able to skip.

Poweramp is the app I've been using. Great developer support and even has it's own smartwatch 1/2 app. Plus if I remember correctly the developer is an XDA regular.

[Q] Stream audio between devices over bluetooth

Okay so here's my case: I'm going on a six-hour flight next week and I'd like to watch some Breaking Bad on my tablet (Nexus 7). But the audio jack on my N7 being kinda broken, and I'm not sure if everybody would enjoy the sweet sound of methmaking, I want to use my phone as a bluetooth headset and connect my headphones to my phone. if possible. if anyone cares, my phone is a moto G and both devices are on 4.4.2. Can I do this (app, Xposed or something likewise), or would my best guess be to just use soundabout on my N7 and try to jam the headphones in some way that works.
Thanks for any answers/advice.:good:
Try chorus but it shares over wifi.

Thanks, I installed it but I noticed It only streams mp3s, not all audio in general. So unfortunately this doesn't help
May be soundseeder would help you.many media format supported. Just you have to install 2 apps. Soundseeder music player (host) and soundseeder speaker.(join)

Media Controller not working

From what I hear galaxy gear 1 owners have this issue and it seems to be on my gear 2 too it won't change anything not the volume not playing or pausing or changing tracks my device is note 3 on custom TouchMy wiz 4.4.2. Has anybody this issue with the media controller? My custom rom is X-note with civz snap kat kernel
works fine for me
I can even launch the music app directly from my gear 2 neo
looks great too
Works great for me. Play music is my preferred player. Maybe it's your custom rom.

Phone Calling, Video Syncing are all working fine for me.

Just did a little a experimentation for you through media controller you can control not only the stock samsung player but poweramp as well but only through the stock samsung player you can see on your gear the name of the track and the cover picture if there is any.. hope it helps.
There's something wrong with my media controller
My media controller on my gear 2 doesnt work, i cant play, change the volume or the songs on my galaxy s5. I connected it with a galaxy s4 and it has no issues. Im currently running TizenMod rom v3.0 by skin 1980 if that helps in anyway
