[Q] Llama not working since UCUFNI1 OTA update

I had Llama set up so that the following actions would occur when car bluetooth connects:
1. turn on car mode
2. send media play (android 3.0+) button
3. turn off wifi
and when car bluetooth disconnects:
1. turn off car mode
2. send media pause (android 3.0+) button
3. turn on wifi
It worked perfectly for many months until yesterday when I received the OTA update from AT&T on my I337 Galaxy S4, which updated android from UCUFNC1 to UCUFNI1. Now when the bluetooth connects, car mode turns on and wifi turns off (just like I wanted) but the default music player doesn't turn on and play music like it did before. The music player doesn't even turn on now. I've tried reconfiguring, rebooting, uninstalling and re-installing Llama, but nothing works. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Have you tried first adding a command for starting the music player app before the send play button command?
Cause that's what I had to add to get my BT setup to work correctly via Llama:
Eg.
Run Play Music
BTW
What exactly does "car mode" do?

I fixed it! All I had to do change the order and put 'car mode' last in the actions.
Car mode is supposed to put the phone in a hands-free mode for driving where it does things like read the texts you receive out loud.

Audio over Bluetooth, phone to phone

This is almost unbelievable.
I want to simply open "Music" on my phone (where I have 32G of music stored), and have it play on my Android TV box device through my Home Theater, so that I can lounge with phone in hand, and change the track, etc.
In my car, I have an FM Transmitter (no Aux input on the radio) which connects to my phone via Bluetooth, and my music plays perfectly on my radio.
Why isn't there this basic solution for doing the same for:
Phone to Android TV Box
Phone to Phone
I can pair my phone to my TV Box, and even send files over Bluetooth, but they wont connect when I try in Settings, Bluetooth-- I suspect because no software is making the "gesture" from the TV Box to the phone (like I assume what happens in my car with the FM Transmitter).
Same thing for Phone to Phone..
Any free solution to what I want to achieve?

Have you tried connecting via the Wi-Fi Direct settings from your phone?

Never seen that before. Not sure what to do with that.
How do I utilize that?

It's under your advanced Wi-Fi settings. Once you get there you can search for connectable devices.

That might just work if the tv supports wifi direct.

well, I got it to connect to the "MBox" in Settings, Wifi, Wifi-Direct...
..but, what's unclear is what app(s) would I install/utilize to now stream audio from my phone to my "MBox"? (as an aside, the "Mbox" was already connected to my LAN via wired Ethernet, so now it's also direct connected via its' wireless to the phone)
I already tried to open Miracast on the "Mbox" but it says "Waiting for user to connect", or some such thing, and I can't see what I'd do on the phone to complete that.
The phone is running LS KitKat and there is a section in Settings, Display called "Cast Screen" but all that says is "No nearby devices were found"
?

Help with network share -e4

Hi,
I am exploring different ways to cast music to my TV. Given that there is no cast button on google play music I'm trying out the music app. I noticed you can play music from your local network on it and I have a hdd full of music. Normally I have this plugged straight into my wdtv,but since I want to try share it with my phone I have plugged it into the router and set that up.
The problem is that it is still not coming up under local network in the music app. It is however showing under local network in file commander, but if I try play music or movies from there it just says it can't play the file.
How do I get this working?
Also, I know this isn't a wdtv forum, but I haven't managed to get it to show on that either, so if anyone has any guidance there that would also be much appreciated.

Just to add, my pc is able to access all the files fine, it's just the e4 and the wd that are having issues

Ok, I've figured out how to access a hdd plugged into the wdtv, so that has solved one problem, the hdd is now plugged into there,not the router. But everything else is still the same. I can access the folders and see what's in them,but can't play any media

Update: I now have vlc player, and that plays the stuff from the hdd with no problems. However that has no cast button, so defeats the purpose of what I wanted to do anyway. Is it just that the Sony video and music apps won't play from a hdd on the network?that seems strange since they both have local network options in their menus

Cannot successfully Cast using this phone

Hi all, does anyone use this phone to cast to Chromecast? I cannot get this to successfully Cast to any of my four devices which are Android TV, Samsung TV and two Chromecasts. I've tried using VLC player and Plex to cast and the same thing happens with both, the TV screen goes blank you can see it's trying to do something, and after a few minutes of this it just disconnects and fails. Occasionally it will play about a minute of something and then just disconnect and fail, this is very frustrating. The weird thing is that casting YouTube works fine.
Can anyone with this phone confirm casting works or not for you? Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

casting fow.chromacst works perfect for my, chinese x2.pro

Android Auto [app] doesn't seem to be working at the moment

Hi all,
do you know how to resolve problem with android auto on Mi 10T Pro?
When I connect phone to my car I cannot run app e.g. Spotify - I see on car monitor "Spotify doesn't seem to be working at the moment".
When I run spotify on mobile manualy - my car see it. It is with all apps like Google Podcasts or TuneIn etc... the same error, but if you run app from mobile I can manage it from my car monitor with android auto.
Thank you for replay!
