[Tutorial] How to start a playlist on your PC using Android and NFC

A while ago I wrote a tutorial on how to turn your phone on and bypass your keyguard using NFC and Tasker, today I'll expand on that and write about how you can use NFC to automatically start a playlist on your media PC even with your screen off. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to just tap your phone on the NFC tag and presto! your favorite playlist will start playing on your PC.
What you'll need:
On your phone
Tasker (important: make sure you update to the latest version)
NFC Task Launcher
NFC Screen Off Mod (this is for the Note 2 and S3 ONLY, the same mods for other phones can be found with a quick search). Confirmed working for Note 2 stock LJ1 and LJ3 odex rooted.
Root (but I'm guessing if you have any of the above you're already rooted)
(optional) Secure Settings (be sure to enable Device Admin)
(optional) Media Center Control (or your favorite Media Controller)
(optional but recommended) Titanium Backup
On your PC
EventGhost
- Windows Media Player Plugin
- Webserver Plugin
Windows Media Player (you could use winamp or other players instead but you would need different plugins for Everhost)
Other Items
Writable NFC tags
PC and Phone should be on the same wireless network (you could make it work from an external network by forwarding the port, but I'm not going to cover this here).
Now on to the instructions..
On your phone
Use TB to make a backup of your NFC Service apk (in case you get issues after flashing the modded one)
Flash the attached NFC Screen Off Mod using CMW
Create a task (Play) in Tasker with the following actions:
(optional) Plugins -> Secure Settings -> Wake Device -> Screen and Keyboard lights on (30 sec or whatever you want)
(optional) Plugins -> Secure Settings -> Keyguard -> Off (this will also disable any PIN/pattern/password you have)
(optional) Misc -> Say -> "Starting Playlist" (or whatever you want it to say)
Net -> Http Get -> In Serverort field enter 'username[email protected]ort' where username and password are the same as the ones you configured in your Webserver EventGhost plugin and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and port are the IP and port of your PC and Webserver EventGhost plugin.
-> In Path enter '?play'

}
Prepare a writeable tag in NFC Task Launcher with the following actions:
Tasker -> Tasker Task -> Play (or the name of your task)
(optional) Launch application -> Media Center Control
Got it? That was the easy part
Now it's time to configure your PC
Download and install EventGhost from here: This is an awesome program, think of it as Tasker for your PC. It can pretty much control any application, run scripts, switch off your monitor, etc.. based on events from various sources.
Install the webserver plugin (Configuration -> Add Plugin -> Webserver)
- Expand Autostart, right click on 'Plugin:Webserver' and click 'Configure'.
- Fill in the same username, password and port you used in your HTTP Get action in Tasker (make sure no firewall is blocking your port).
Install the Windows Media Player plugin (Configuration -> Add Plugin -> Windows Media Player)
- Expand the folder 'Windows Media Player', expand the Macro 'Start Program: wmplayer.exe'
- Right click on the action 'Start Program: wmplayer.exe' and click 'Add Event', enter "HTTP.play" (this is your Tasker HTTP Get command)
- Right click on the action 'Start Program: wmplayer.exe' and click 'Configure', enter the playlist command for WMP: '/Playlist "My Playlist 1"' (replace "My Playlist 1" with the name of your playlist, don't forget the quotes).
Phew.. done!
Took me a few hours to get it to work but that was because I knew nothing about EventGhost and tried using EG Tasker plugins to send events via TCP, turns out HTTPGet is simpler and native to Tasker.
If you're feeling adventurous and have many tags you might want to expand the above to have a different tag for each playlist/genre, stick the on the wall and label them 'Pop', 'Metal', 'Hip Hop' or by artist/album and impress your friends by starting different styles of music without even turning on your phone.. or better yet, stick your phone in your back pocket and change the music by walking around and bumping your ass on the wall
Took me a long time to write this up, hope you guys find it useful! I'll be happy to help out anyone who is having trouble with the setup.

Thought I'd bump this, in case anyone would be interested

Porting MTCD firmware feature into Android TV Box

Hello everybody,
I'm an Android advanced user but beginner developer. I did and applied already some tweaks and I would like to go a step further with my project.
I did a Volvo RTI GPS retrofit replacing the original integration and replacing the old 6,5 inches TFT display (low resolution and analog only) by a 800x480 HDMI display (AT065TN14 from Inolux) with a resistive touchscreen. I added some inputs like the rear camera on the AV input and the source is automatically switched when rear gear is engaged.
The integration was hard but the result is very good!
Connected on HDMI, I use a Chinese Android TV box Beelink M18 that is strong enough to have a reactive unit. I keep the original Volvo radio Unit and the Android TV sends the audio via Bluetooth that allow the avrcp to contol the application with the steering wheel buttons.
See the result:

The problem is the Android TV box firmware. By default it is not done for a radio unit and not at all for a 800x480 display. I was able to tweak the resolution and DPI but there are a lot of limitations:
- The lower ribbon with virtual keys doesn't support more than 199dpi (220 is optimal)
- The GPS drivers are not included (added by me)
- The mouse cursor is too small (I didn't found yet how to increase the size and change the color)
- My 3g dongle doesnt' work (Huawei), something is conflicting
- I use xposed module to increase DPI of applications.
I have seen that Ownice or Joying interfaces are very nice and ergonomic for car application, app switching and so on.
I would like to port some part of the rom like the notification ribbon, the interface setting and why not the 3G dongle drivers and interface modules.
I would like to get from you some recommandations about how to start and with cooking tools are adapted to my needs.
Of course I can give details information about how I transformed my poor very old Volvo GPS (en of 90's) to and Android system. It can be applied to the Volvo S60/V70/S80/XC90 1999 to 2007 and why not for S40/V50.
Thanks very much for your help.

Hello,
I got already a lot of information about what I have to modify.
My idea is to move the software key to the status bar and increase its size. Reduce the lower bar but keep a small one because the low part of my screen is not easy to access (due to the dashboard).
I know that now I have to customize framework-res.apk and systemui.apk. I already extracted it via apktool and stated to modify it.
I would like to extract the content of update.img from the ownice build. Which tool runing on Win7/10 can I use?
My idea is to build a TWRP package for my TV box including:
- TV box firmware base (boot.img and the main system files) --> I have available
- New framework-res.apk --> I have to do
- New systemui.apk --> I have to do
- USB GPS driver and system setting to use it as integrated gps --> I have available
- USB Modem driver and system setting to use it as integrated modem --> port from Joying or ownice FW. As worst case integrate ppp3 widget.
- Custom shutdown trigger when pressing power button (triggered by the carpc power supply) --> I have to do to replace the xposed module currently used
Remains:
- Find a smart active task switcher (switch between waze and Play music application) and avoid press home --> deploy status bar --> click to the notification of the application.
- Get an always visible left vertical bar with the favourite applications (Waze, maps, Here maps, Google play music)
If you have suggestions, don't hesitate to tell me

HOW TO MAKE AMAZON WORK PRIME VIDEO ON THE WORKING CAR :
the procedure is the same as the previous one but the string must be replaced with this below (creating another profile and activity on tasker)
frida -e -s /system/bin/mirror.js - n com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient
HOW TO MAKE DAZN WORK ON A WORKING CAR :
the procedure is the same as the previous one but the string must be replaced with this below (creating another profile and activity on tasker)
frida -e -s / system / bin / mirror.js -n com.dazn
HOW TO USE 2 PHONES WORKING (one always connected with the secondary USB cable - one normally connected via primary Bluethoot)
Install the free version as recommended by Mastino "Disable appliacation Root"
Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d ... hl = en_US & gl = US
Open the app, give all the required permissions, scroll the list to the bluethot item, open the item, click on disable.
If everything is ok now you can use the secondary phone for S2A and have the bluethoot channel free to use the main phone with the speakerphone, as you have always done.
FORCED ROTATION OF WORKING APP(e.g. NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO etc)
Some apps appear vertically when opened and have no options for rotation.
Rotation with a specific app that requires permissions must be forced.
Use the ROTATION app by Pranav Pandey that works very well
Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation&hl=it&gl=US
DELETE LOCK SCREEN for DIRECT START ON WORKING HOME
In the developer options (which I assume you already have active) activate skip the lock screen
This way you will no longer have the annoying vertical lock screen
