Is it possible to stream music using apple's airplay so we can use the cool docking stations with android too?
Yes we can!
But we have to use honeyplayer app. It can play just music on airplay devices. No video.
Maybe with another app we can play video? I dont know
Yeah that looks good thanks, but you can only play music files which are one your phone and with that (crappy) player, and not with for example PowerAmp. And TuneIn Radio won't work either :/

Hi, do you know of any app that you could stream music from PC with Poweramp?
Actually, I use imediashare lite from the market... its free and I stream movies to my apple tv2 from my phone, play music through my speakers, its freakin great. No PC required, no extra programs to download... I don't know why anybody would use anything else...

thank's
I use Skifta, works good for me, its a free app and does amazing work, you can use our own phone or any other media servers, i use it to get data from my pc, laptop and play it on my tv and PS3
I've already tried iMediashare, but my Bowers&Wilkins Zeppelin Air unfortunately isn't recognized. I just wanted to know.if.there is any tweak to stream all sound that would go through your speaker with airplay, so that you can use poweramp etc. too...

Okay well then I'll give it a try today again
Androids are crazy
Actually, I use iMediashare as well and it will stream to any device that is on the same wifi singal as your phone. examples are ps3, xbox, wii, and even pc's.
I can watch any movie on my phone that is on my pc as long as im in wifi range.
I can play any movie or song from my phone on my tv via my ps3 or xbox. No additional software required. Just start imedia player on your phone, go to the movie section on your gaming device and select imediashare.
Actually the gaming system doesnt need to be on wifi. As long as it is connected to the router hardwired or wifi you can share media files with any other device connected to said router.I highly recommend this.
There is also software that will let you use your phone as a remote control for your tv or direct TV box, and remote view your pc. Teamviewer is also free. You can see a live image of your pc from anywhere and control it with a virtual mouse and keyboard all from your phone. Even turn it off.
Androids are crazy... lol
It still doesn't work for me. I will simply use a 3.5mm jack cable, thanks anyway

Will iMediaShare allow me to stream music from any app on android to an apple tv? I'm thinking specifically from rdio. This is a feature I really like on my iPhone, but I'm looking to jump to a Galaxy Nexus.
Does it support also subtitles in srt format?
Player for .MTS format
Hi!
For those of you that have been searching around for a player that supports the .MTS format (files from among them Sony videocameras), I found after some time the BS Player. It is a free application in the market that also supports hardware acceleration! Other players I have not found that supports this format, only converters.

No, you have to go into imediashare and it locates saved media on your device and streams it... it also has a couple dozens apps to stream from internally ... it may have radio come to think of it.

Has anyone been able to get track metadata information over bluetooth on their S3, stock or otherwise? I can control play/pause/forward/back, but am not getting track info in my car. Anyone else run into this issue?
I have read it may have something to do with AVRCP 1.3 support.
In my car it shows information for music stored locally on the phone but streaming Pandora doesn't share Song information, but I can control music still.

Which app are you using for local music playback?
Currently using S3 in a 2012 Ford with Sync. No issues with track info with either locally stored files, or Pandora as long as I use the mobile apps command in Sync. Has worked well with stock, and with current setup with the unofficial CM10 nightlies with KT747 kernel.

I followed the above link and got it switched over but it still didn't do the trick.
My phone shares meta data as long as I'm used local music or Google play. If I use Pandora it won't stream the meta data. Although my girlfriends iPhone (sorry) does transmit Pandora meta data.

Yeah. This head unit I ha e it my car is awesome, Kenwood ddx719, but it's tuned for iDevices. There is a Pandora app on the head unit that will control pa Dora completely, thumbs up/down songs etc, but is useless for Android. Meta data streams from Pandora on iPhone but not android. Also, my old phone didn't stream meta data from Pandora either so it's not just the S3.i think the meta data is on Pandora just not implementing it.
Sent from a strange blue box hurtling through time and space.
I have done tons of research and it seems that the S3 has AVRCP 1.3 for the native players but not for media streaming apps. AVRCP support needs to be implemented in a custom rom to be used. Apparently it was implemented in CM9 but not in CM10.

I have the same issue, no track info or anything in my '12 dodge charger. I have tried the stock player (which skipped and paused randomly all of the time) and I have tried playerpro with the the option enabled. I'm at a loss because it is pointless for me to stream it BT if I need to hold the phone in my lap.

I play all my media via XBMC, so XBMC Remote works perfectly for that.

It's mirroring your PC to the phone just like remote assistance, you need to install the chrome plugin as well.

So far I've found two music players besides Google Music and Spotify that sync with Android Auto. They are RocketPlayer and JetAudio. I uploaded 5 gig of music to my phone in case I'm out of data range for Spotify. Spotify is my preference since the audio streaming bit rate is much better than itunes backups.
Shuttle works with AA. Edit: works with Automate not AA. Sorry for the confusion.

@Matterhorn You can sort the playstore by apps that work with AA. Though I dont think it is a comprehensive list.

I've been trying to set up AA with the best apps etc. both Rocket Player and JetAuio are highly recommended and work with AA, but they each have their own issues. I'm sure they'll get the bugs ironed out in time. AA is relatively new.

I loaded both of those yesterday. The apps are pretty ugly. I don't think I'd use either of those. VLC for Android (beta) works with AA. It has a good layout and there are no adds either. The problem with VLC is it doesn't seem to work with Assistant. You can't say "play Elvis on VLC".

It seems like they all have their issues at the moment. I'm using Rocket Player now because the album art looks better in the AA app. I actually prefer to use Spotify Premium since I have an unlimited data plan, it streams at 320kps. My iTunes backup sounds terrible in comparison to Spotify Extreme quality. I use android assistant with Spotify all the time so I would miss that feature,

My favorite for local music is Sony Music. It takes a little work to get it installed and working though. First you have to find the app on XDA that has been altered to not check your build.prop for a sony device (there are several). I'm using the app from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-xperia-app-stock-rom-t3263403
Then the problem is Android Auto will not work with a sideloaded app. To fix that you need ADB shell:
adb push Sonymusic.apk /sdcard/Download/Sonymusic.apk
adb shell pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r /sdcard/Download/Sonymusic.apk
adb shell rm /sdcard/Download/Sonymusic.apk
Skip the first command if its already on your phone. You need to use the phones package installer for this, so the apk needs to be on the phone somehow. Change the file paths and file names to suit your install.
This works with other sideloaded apps if you're into that sort of thing (Pandora, Spotify, etc) ahem
It's 2 min of work from a computer, but it's the best experience for me. I tried every Android Auto compatible music player I could find. Sony did it right IMO.

It should. In mine, spotify over usb (through Android Auto) sounds noticeably better than spotify over bluetooth in the same car. When you connect to Android Auto, my oem stereo also makes a bluetooth connection to the phone which confused me. Apparently bluetooth is still used for the HFP (hands free protocol ie phone calls) between the phone and headunit. All A/V traffic is supposed to be handled via USB.
Not sure about AOA. I haven't used a stereo that I could get usb audio from android phone to headunit successfully. Too bad iPhones work great with lots of radios via Lightning...
One HQ option to consider is Astell&Kern's aptX HD BT receiver.
https://www.worldwidestereo.com/pro...le-bluetooth-amplifier-with-dac-4vb100-cmbl01
My car's head unit is decent Pioneer, but bt audio sucks. I used to use a wire from iphone, but that does not work well from Pixel 2. So I got one of these and plugged it in to aux input. Way better sound quality than iphone wire ever delivered, despite it being BT. (Same goes for with headphones also.) If you are not familiar with them, A&K makes audiophile-quality sound gear.
Android allows you to have two BT connections at the same time. So I have one direct to car stereo for phone calls, and separate one for audio.
I use the Spotify app from phone to control it. (Tidal sounds a little better, but it's app is not nearly as car-friendly as Spotify, which lets you change songs without looking.)
Is it possible to modify any .apk to work to work with AA, I'm disappointed because I wanted to go give it a try after hearing good things, but If I can't use the player I desire it's kind of silly. I can handle trading in waze, but I'd like to find a way to get the n7player.apk working with it.

Thanks for this ... been playing with Sony Music for the past few days and you're right about how good it is. One question, I installed the release version using your instructions and now want to update to the beta. Is it the same set of instructions? Or (because I'm at work) is there a way to update without using ADB?

Cool man. Yea you will have to use adb for the beta as well. Assuming the beta contains android auto (I would think it does) everything should work.
The whole point of installing it this way is to fool your phone into thinking the app was installed from the play store (com.android.vending). Installing any other way will make it a sideloaded app, removing Android Auto capability.
If you have any trouble installing, uninstall the original Sony Music, then install the beta with the adb instructions.

Thanks ... what I thought (but was hoping wouldn't be the case ....).
I use Plex. It can play local or stream from your PC. And it can sync your PC music to your phone.
Since our phones support multiple Bluetooth codecs, it's possible to get decent sound through BT. It depends on your car's available codecs. My BMW supports AAC, so my Pixel 2 connects to my car with AAC. I just bought the i.tech H2 earbuds that supports Aptx-HD and LDAC. LDAC sounds amazing! When cars start using these new codecs, bye bye wires.
