How to control music player with volume buttons - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Xposed and wanam are installed. Even Wanam has an option for changing title by long pressing Vol+- ... it does neither work on lock screen nor when player app is active ... I am running SkyHigh ROM.
Pocket Skip Track didnt work either (it triggers, but player does not react) ...
Any other apps or configuration that should do the trick when screen off / lock screen on ?

Change Track: This older app works, but you have to set settings every time you start it and the app has no autostart when e.g. stock music player is started

Xposed Additions worked ... long press Vol+- changes tracks on players (stock music player, youtube, google play music) without changing volume

tnx in advance..
Er. . nothing. Mine plays quite happily with the screen off
Mine doesn't I was playing music through bluetooth to the car and screen goes off and media player stops playing until I hit the power button again (I need to find out what the app name is of the media player as well so I can add it as an exception into slide to unlock)

Is that HTC media player or Windows media player?
The HTC one ( the one on the music tab) works fine streaming to my car radio with the screen off. WMP turns off with the screen tho'
I haven't found a fix for this either =( When I use my stereo bluetooth headset all is fine: I can press the power button, device goes into suspend, music keeps playing. But when I'm playing music through the speaker - as I like to do in the morning in the shower - music playback stops when pressing the power button.
I found a registry setting for the HTC audio manager (hkey\localmachine\software\htc\audiomanager_eng\config\enter_suspend) but it didn't do anything =(

It's the HTC media player (one on the tab) you don't happen to know the actual file name that is run when you select it from the tab do you?
I have the same problem with TouchFLo Music tab... power button and stop music!
I have the same problem with the built in player - Core player & Pocket music player although that freezes & generally is unstable - dunno why it was perfect on my X1.
I have a small problem (I don't think I had it before)!
when I put Music tab from TouchFlo playing and press power button the sound stops!
does it happens to you? how can I solve it?
thanks

This is the way it's meant to be.
If it's playing through speakers, the sound stops by pressing the power button. If it's playing through headphones, you can press power and it will still play.
is there anyway to change it in the registry so that we can turn the device off and still play it through the speakers. TP2 got 2 good speakers so it would be nice to leave it in the table and listen music without hearphones

I used S2U2 lastest version, run S2U2 Settings > Advanced > check on "Don't Suspend Power" > Save > Yes, and my TP2 can play music when device off

Music controls on lock screen

Anyone have an idea why my music controls are missing on the lock screen? I am using Google music, sometimes the album art shows but no ability to pause or skip to next song.
TIA
If you are still in the music app when the screen is locked, lockscreen music controls wont show. Exit application and retest

[Q] Strange Behaviour: Stock Music Player forgets where in a song it was

Hello guys,
I've been tracking a very annoying issue with HTC's stock Music App.
***Short Version***: The player "forgets" where in a song it has been and restarts the song from 0:00.
I realized it, because I listen to audiobooks a lot and it is a pain to search for the point where you've been all the time. Enough background: Here is how to reproduce it:
Open the "Music" app, choose a new track, let it play for some seconds
Shut down the screen with the power button (music still playing)
Wake the screen with the power button and PAUSE the track
Now wait for a certain amount of time. I have to wait two[/i| minutes. My screen goes dark in the meantime (auto-sleep enabled)
[*]Wake the screen with the power button. 1st thing to realize: The Music widget is gone. Unlock the lockscreen --> Now the track is at 0:00 again.
[*]If this does not reproduce it (sometimes it seems to work fine): follow the above list but unlock the screen with a MotionLaunch leading to an App. From there go to Home and start Music from the homescreen.
Do you have this behaviour as well?
I have tried different versions of Viper ROM and ARHD - both react the same.
Do you think this could be a firmware issue? Or a bug in a new version of HTC's Music App?
I'm pretty sure this hasn't always been like that and I have recently updated to 2.22.401.4 with a FUU.

[Q] lock screen music controls

I'm having a problem with music controls not displaying on the lock screen. As I play a song on either pandora or google play music, I'll hit the power button to turn the screen off then back on with no music controls or album art work. It works flawlessly on my galaxy s5. Any suggestions on how to get this functionality back? Thanks
Odd. When I play music I get music controls in this lock screen but no album art work. Just the pause and play and change track is what I get in the bottom left when in the lock screen. I used the ruglar music player.
I believe it has something to do with touchwiz and the software, unless you get a aosp rom then you'd see it
Sent from my SM-T805
I downloaded AcDisplay from the play store, in the settings I enabled it to be my LockScreen and now I finally have music controls and album art on lock screen. This works for all of my music apps.

Poweramp doesn't stop radio, mode cycling etc

Dont know if the title makes sense!
Trying to set this up for everyday use now, using Malaysk rom.
Installed poweramp, but noticed that if i am playing the radio, then open poweramp & play something, the radio does not stop.
I have to go back to radio app, then press back button.
Is that normal/correct or is there a way to configure this sort of thing.
Also, when pressing mode button (as configured on SWC), can you choose which apps are cycled through?
It currently goes through things like AVIN, and Video which i do not use.
Another thing (!), i've hads a couple of times when its gone to black screen and i cannot do anything about it, pressing power button just beeps, there is still power as there is illuminated buttons, but just a black screen and only a complete power down using ignition reboots and restores screen.
Think its like when the power button in the top right status bar is pressed (which i also need to disable!)
Thanks, and sorry for all the questions, keen to get this set up nicely now
Took me a bit to find this. You have to use the My Music shortcut not the power amp shortcut. Then setup PowerAmp as your default music player.

Thanks for that
Where do you set the defaults?
Could just find it in MTCmusic I think it was. Playing around with that at the moment, still not quite got things how I want then though, taking me ages this is!
Been playing around with the settings.
Come across another problem
When using Nokia here maps, I can use SWC to skip tracks playing in Poweramp, but when I skip, the Poweramp audio doesn't return until I press a volume up or down button.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
actually, its not related to navigation
Noticed it does the same even when in Poweramp app
Skipped forward a track using SWC, then no audio until volume pressed...
anyone?
