What is making Google play music to not stream Gapless play back? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

On every TW rom now that I've noticed Google play music doesn't seem to have gapless playback anymore. I thought it was a kernel issue but it wasn't the case. Any aosp rom like cm seems to have it. Why not tw all of a sudden??

Bump
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I wanted to bump this after updating my Play Music to today's latest version, featuring All Access. OP says that they've gotten gapless playback out of Play Music on AOSP ROMs, but not TW. I haven't gotten it to work on any kind of ROM, and it's really frustrating. I want to leave Spotify for All Access, but Spotify's gapless streaming is a huge draw for me, and I'm just not understanding why I'm not experiencing the same thing when it's advertised as a feature of Play Music.
edit: wanted to clarify that I don't have gapless playback with local files, either.

Same boat here. I'm about ready to switch from Spotify to All Access, but lack of gapless playback is a big mark against Google Play.

It really sucks because I had Gapless playback in the beginning of January, then ever since mid January I lost that feature and never gained it back. Idk if it's a line of code that all gs3 devs are using to tweak their rom that's causing the feature to disappear, or if it's a Google error. My cousins gs4 has it and he's on stock non rooted TW. You don't know how frustrated I was when I heard one of my favorite live albums back to back on his phone when I can't on mine.

Poweramp Market Sale

Just saw that poweramp is on sale in the market for $1.99. It's normally $4.99. It's a great app to play music for those that don't have it. There's also a trial version available if you're still unsure about it. Gets my approval though :thumbup:

Good looking out, been meaning to buy this for a couple days ... this makes it even better
Sale over.
Awesome app, runs with drm frozen or even uninstalled, saves a good amount of battery. I swear by it!

this was one of the better usic players that I found awhile back. But sadly when I got into Google Music Beta it just no longer was worth it anymore. If the music players could add the option to use Google Music I would most likely start to use some of them again (I hate having to keep music on my phone at all times to just use the music player)

I agree. Im solely using Google Music now, so I opted to not buy PowerAmp, even though I love it. Useless since I dont like storing music on my phone. My entire 50gb music library is on Google Music. If only it could play my Google music somehow, then that would be beast!!!
Is it still on sale? I already own it so I can't see the price. Want to give a heads up to a friend if it still is

What Music App are you using?

I was curious to see everyones music app of choice is? I've tried em all except winamp and slacker radio, but I think I'm gonna go with PlayerPro for a while....I love having the lockscreen widget back!!! (Missed that from using it on MIUI on my OG Evo) Anyways curious to see what everyones app of choice is!
None of the above - jetAudio Basic
I use Amazon MP3 which is not listed above.
Player pro. The gap less playback alone makes it worth using. Also the developer is friendly. We spent about a month fixing the blue tooth track display after I emailed him. I was very impressed at his level of support.

stock TW app. or google play music for my music on cloud.
I like the stock tw music player. Basic, but functional

doubletwist, which isn't listed.
I like the stock on the SIII simply because it has the Cover to Pause feature.
That feature has been awesome to me especially when driving and I have to pause a song, I never have to look at my phone.
I do still like Google Play Music App, gives me access to a bunch of songs that are streaming off my cloud.
If only there was an app that had Cover to pause feature and the ability to stream music off of our Google Music accounts... :cyclops:

I agree 100%, best music player out there imo
Google Music for me
I like doubleTwist since I'm able to sync it with my desktop version and transfer and manage songs just like iTunes.

streaming to Xbox360 UPnP apps

I have run into an frustrating issue as of late regarding streaming music from my s3 through my xbox using the built in music player. What is happening is the music player will randomly pause while streaming, requiring me to press the play button to get it going again. This is not being caused by incoming messages or calls. I don't have voice enabled. Keep wifi on is also enabled.
Strong wifi signal through entire home. Running frosty Jb v7.
If it's a player issue whats the best alternative? I tried a few from the play store 2player, bubble UPnp, poweramp , winamp. They either have ****ty interfaces or act just as wonky.
Maybe I am just not understanding the tech of it. I turn the xbox, tv and stereo on. Then push the icon on my music player(see attached photo) and it starts streaming through the xbox. I thought it was pretty slick until it started acting up on me.
I'm getting the same thing. Happens more often when I put the phone on shuffle.

Possibly a custom kernel issue? No idea, just a thought. I know they can cause things to not work properly sometimes.
Was on stock. Good thought though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I tried bubble UPnP for a while.. didnt like the interface to begin with.. I want to go to artist then sort through various albums. It did work however until the program itself began freezing up and not retrieving my files. So that was a no go.
I am stock. Am I able to stream music as well? Or do I need a particular rom ...Assuming you guys figure this out.

Can be done on stock as well. Its a built in feature, just need to have a wireless(wifi) capable tv, xbox, or ps3 (maybe some thing else like adapters) pretty sure anything DLNA capable. And phone and Device need to be on same wifi.

I did it on stock very easy. If you have Xbox, as long as it's on, your good. If you are watching Netflix, it will stop what you are watching. You have to use a stock samsung app. I just go through my gallery, find a pic or a movie, choose it, and there is an option which looks like a monitor with a couple of hornizontal arrows going through it. This doesn't work for streaming something on a website or whatever. If it is a file already saved to your phone it will work. All you have to do is go to the picture, or start playing the video, tap the screen and on the top you will find that different icon. Again, you have to have your Xbox ON or it won't show the icon. For Xbox it is cool because you could start watching the video or pic on your phone and want to say to everyone, HEY< WATCH THIS! and with one click it goes.
You can also connect it to work with PS3 but it only works as a media server. Meaning, with Xbox, you can decide, hey, I want to watch this on the Xbox now! With PS3, you have to search for the file and THEN, play it. It's not such an immediate action.

Omg! Playing music on my xbox!!!

This rocks! Choose the thing with a 1 at the top. Did anyone know about this?? Why didnt I!?! Omg!

Your probably using DLNA media share feature..
I can do it directly to my TV or to my parents home theater system
Its a great feature, also works for videos and pictures. Unfortunately only on stock apps...which sucks, as the stock music player lags horribly when you have so many songs as I do.

I tried using this on my ps3 and couldnt get it to work.. imma try it again..
It would be cool if google music added this feature since thats the music app I use now..

Good video player for cm/aokp

Since I usually run twiz I haven't found a video player that works as well on cm base as the stock video player on twiz especially while using an mhl adapter. Cm video player from gallery won't play a lot of movies and downloaded ones from play store are either pixelated and choppy or just totally off. Any recommendations. I love the new rom by mr impossible but since I took cable out my room and I got a mhl cord I watch a lot of movies through my phone so this is a must

Try MX Player. So far it can handle any type of video I throw at it
