InterOperability BT Sound Commands Smartwatch and Drive Car
Hi,
A) Installation of the App makes my BT smartwatch (Sony, version1) instead of commands play/previous/next default MP3 player app, commands podcastaddict app. and even Play command launched automatically the app (as default MP3 normally). So it was just an exchange of default app or something easy i guess. So this was the status a few months ago.
B) Since one/two months, updating your app, makes now my Drive Car (BT) does not command anymore my MP3 default player, i cannot use any remote command (play/previous/next) from Drive Car. As a workaround, i could use the commands on my mobile (but indeed more dangerous).
C) Last, updating the app tonight, i checked for smartwatch, the behavior is more complex:
- Automatic launch of player is desactivated (podcast addict), but default MP3 player also.
- When default MP3 player is open (mobile GUI), the smartwatch commands cannot control the player, none command (play/pause/previous/next) is working. Only the Volume (+/-) is working, as always til now, and the display of the playing song. I did not test car tonight.
Last info (but independent): if another player is open on the mobile (default video player or other like Mx player), the smartwatch commands described here are applied to the app normally, i.e. w/o podcast addict app installed.
I guess you tried to correct a bug reported by somebody else, and doing so, you are deactivating BT commands since B).
Can you try to fix the whole, please? I think you have the knowledge to do easily a smartwatch podcast app. Sony, as you already influenced BT commands ;) it maybe a next step or idea ^^
Thank you for your patience, and for your nice application ! :)

Why should there be a warning ? This is the normal behavior. The app reacts to external controls until the player is stopped or until you disable this feature.
It doesn't impact any other app if the player is stopped -

Ok Thank You Xavier :)
I just disabled the option "External commands". Sorry for disturbing. But as you can read, the default behavior of the app got impact on others app BT (smartwatch, Drive Car).
Please put an warning at startup of the app when just installed, and location of option to modify if needed.Best Regards,

Sorry but absolutely nothing has been modified for at least a few month. The app receives and reacts to the standard remote controls if you didn't disable that feature (settings/player/external controls).
