[REQ][APP] Media widget

I have done some searching but couldn't really find anything suitable, however if anyone knows of this widget already that would be awesome.
Let me explain: I use widgets to control my media but with four different apps (cubed, last FM, spotify, doggcatcher) the homescreen is rather messy. Would it be possible to make a widget which would control all the media apps on a phone? You would have a button to switch media player and then the usual, play/skip buttons. If anyone is interested in this I would be happy to sponsor them to make it.

[APP][SW2] Media Control Extension

I think it's time we had a free one of these. This is a simple extension that sends generic audio control events to the phone.
Post here with any problems or feature requests. I will not be adding code to control specific apps.

it's work on poweramp
cool app :good::good::good::good::good:

For poweramp I really recommend the dedicated app ... is not that expensive and the results are great.

Something odd (it was said also in play store) with my note, n8000, Android 4.1.2. When pressing the icon "play", two differend players start: spotify and the default music player. I cannot figure how to fix this.

You need to find settings in your default player or in spotify to disable bluetooth controls. If neither player has this setting then I'm afraid you're out of luck. You could uninstall one of them. The app works generically like a BT headset that has built in controls.

Actually it starts three music apps (default, n7 and spotify =) and finally causing sw2 app to crash... don't find how to change bt controlling for those apps or is it even possible. otherwise seems to work faster and better than other controllers.

Yeah thanks for a cool media controller. Maybe in future updates the User can dictate which media application to be used. I see my soundcloud, Pandora, and Native Music App battling it out, lol. I fight for the User! Thanks again for the app.

Great app, lets me control the music from the shower :good:

Added premium features (in-app purchase):
-Widgets for all control functions
-Color customization
-Vibration on click

"Turn on the radio"?
Hi,
first: i really dig your app and the widgets. However i have run into the same problem as the others: all players open. Is there really no workaround? I haven't found any other music control widgets for sw2 + yours are the most straight-forward.
I have noticed however, that one button works correctly: the pause button. My observations from the button-mashing:
Play: opens all players
pause: pauses or unpauses the *active* player
next/previous song: starts all players, songs are changed on all players. "Turn on the radio." popup appears.
Samsung Note 2 + Sony SW2.
Cheers and thanks anyway

[APP] Cast Launcher, Better than Chrome Cast..

I want to control Netflix, Hulu and YouTube from another device. Why....
I have a lot of old smart phones that don't serve much purpose any more. So I took one and strapped it to the back of the head rest in my car. I did this to stream movies for my toddler son who rides in the back.
The problem I had was when the movie stopped or he wanted to watch something else. It was a hassle to reach back and change the movie. Then my idea for Cast Launcher was conceived.
Cast launcher lets me control a device from my device from anywhere in the world. So if I want to change the movie playing on the device in the back seat of my car. I can by selecting Netflix / Hulu / Youtube from the Cast Launcher menu. Then I just find the movie i want and cast, and send it to one of the devices connected to my Cast Launcher account.
Setup is easy as 1, 2, 3.
Start the app and you will be presented with an account selection box listing the email accounts found on your device.
(1) Select an account or choose to enter in an email address you have access to.
(2) Think of a unique nick name for your device and enter it.
After completing steps 1 and 2 an email will be sent to you with a pin number
(3) Verify this pin number by entering it in the app.
Now you are ready to add as many devices as you wish. They must all share the same email address and pin, but must each have unique nick name.
From here the fun begins.
After adding one or more devices you will be able to choose one of them from a list after you choose an action to perform.
Actions include:
*Casting Movies / TV Shows and other Videos from Netflix, Hulu or YouTube
To cast from Netflix or Hulu you do not need Hulu or Netflix on your device just on the remote device.
To cast from YouTube you can choose to share a video from the YouTube app and select Cast Launcher when presented with the share menu.
Open an app on a remote device from a list of apps.
View app descriptions that were found on the remote device by long pressing an item from the app list.
Use voice commands to search Netflix and Hulu
Send Voice messages to a receiving device
Use voice commands to play music from streaming players or videos on the remote device
Launch web URLs on the receiving device by using the share button from any browser.
Will work on most devices running Android KitKat and above. Including Phones, Tablets, TV's, TV Boxes with Android, *Cars with Android Auto (untested) and More...

Steering Wheel Controls and MPH

MTCE_HLA_3.53_1
New to the unit and installed in my Mini Cooper 2007. Had a good read around the found and lots of interesting things for a newbie but not found anything clear enough for my questions.
1) Can I set the unit to display MPH rathe than Km/h on the home screen?
2) My steering wheel controls work for the stock music and radio apps (mute, next, previous) but do not work in any 3rd party apps like Poweramp, Spotify or AutoPlay (Apple CarPlay dongle). Please can someone explain how to enable this?
Many thanks for all the info and hard work in these forums.

Managed to resolve #2. For for anyone else who searches later.
Head into factory settings. Password for HLA was m123456
Other tab
Changed steering wheel control to can key
Save and reboot.
Steering wheel controls app then appeared in my apps list and was very easy to assign keys.
