External display support

Issue description:

Hello, i use the applicarion in all my devices specially my smartwatch whose integration is beyond perfect.

However, im unable to have the player of my ZTE flip phone external screen to detect music played in Symphonium. It says “Open your phoen and play some music”, while music is already playing.
Im currently forced to use either Spotify or YouTube when i love using Symphonium instead.

Is there any chance you can look into this? I see others can open the app directly in the secondary screen, but in ZTE phones lile Libero flip or Nubia Flip its a basic play, stop, and next controller with the progress of the detected music app and artwork.

Im willing to help since even of this app is not open source, i can still help at least test on my devices.

Thanks in advance

Reproduction steps:

 
I have tested that the “Open your phone and play music” message shows when playing music through symphonium launched FIRST. Unable to activate the player controls by itself and not fully conecting metadata to it.

However, i have been able to wake up the player by playing a song in Spotify [Screenshot 1 +2] or Youtube, then playing one with Symphonium [Screenshot 3]

That way, the controller interface stays active and allows play and stop, as well as next up and previoua track.

However, information on screen does not update, even making the song time go befond the song length [Screenshot 4]. As if it wasnt refreshing the data, yet the player controller did control Symphonium playback succesfully. Just not refreshing screen to symphonium data.

This tells me maybe symphonium hasnt been exposed its info to the mini android player yet it can control the playback still.

I hope this helps out, as i really love this app.

No logs despite all the messages is not a good start

Verify you did not disable media session. But else without a device to repro not sure what they do that is not from the standard media session.

Wasnt expecting such a horrible reply.

I literally said i could help and offered my device. Was just putting out what happened in case it could be worked on and there was interest to upload logs. Sorry i wasted my time writing the issue.

This is why you never ever buy close source apps. What a terrible mistake on my side.

[Tolriq]

I mean there’s a dozen messages saying logs are mandatory else issue is ignored.

Yet I answered …

I gave you the only possible cause I know …

And I can’t do anything from your device at your home.

So maybe calm down, and take 2 seconds to breath ..

[alexjet1000]

I have just uploaded the logs using the app and my username. Please do help for real now.

[Tolriq]

Well a quick search shows that there’s a million issues with the device and this Something you did first too right ?

First question would be what version of the OS you have because it’s known to be broken before 3.1

Does it work with other custom music apps ? Enable the notification permission on the app too?.

[alexjet1000]

Hello, im unaware of the meaning of your first two quirky messages. I would appreciate serious responses.

The MyOS version is latest 3.2 (Android 15 latest security patch).

With YouTube music, youtube and spotify it performs okay, but i tried jellyfin player and it behaves the same as symphonium. Enabling notifications didnt seem to change anything.

Do you have any instructions so i can help log better what needs to be looked into?

[Tolriq]

This is all very serious question, Have you searched internet about this phone issue ? Because that’s the start

Because the last 2 patches of your phone clearly state that they work on fixing that ・サブディスプレイで音楽再生アプリを操作できない事象の改善 ・セキュリティの向上

As all those device they have special code for big players, if no other custom app works, then it’s probably another big indicator that the issue is not on the app side

Seems there’s also solutions like https://www.reddit.com/r/Vivo/comments/1k56mqj/origin_os_5_force_a_player_to_integrate_with/

So to resume I just did Google search for you on the Week End for free You are welcome.

[alexjet1000]

You are just plain rude for whatever reason.

what a horrible way of speaking to people. now i understand the other posts talking about your support manners.

i ended up patching the app with a different package name so it could be detected as spotify and now it gets detected correctly. i wanted to keep using the official but im not willing to anymore.

[Tolriq]

Do not invert the positions here. I’m less rude than you …

You ignored all the rules, then posted an ultra aggressive message that you then deleted but replaced with an order for me to help you. (I’ve reverted your message so you can again read my answer then yours …)

All that for a know device issue that a simple Google search would have told you.
I even gave you the proper solution to your issue, replacing the app package will give you a couple of issues… All that during the Week-End …

And to finish I answer to people the way they talk to me, so if you do not like how I talk to you, you might actually start to think a little about how you talked to me. I’m not your slave, I do not owe you anything …

Seriously the entitlement of people those days is insane, Karen’s pops non stop …

And of course thanks for the confirmation of the kind of person you are …

You are the reason I usually do not bother to answer to people who can’t read the rules, and yet when I do still try to help, I get that fucking disgusting behavior …

[alexjet1000]

i could attach all posts in your OWN blog saying how rude you are, yet i guess you would only karen me. Maybe you are the one who needs to breath, its of no help acting like an asshole to users.

I knew from the beggining you would behave this way from your first comment.

“Sorry i can´t help with that.”

“Sorry that´s a device specific issue”.

Yet you chose “No logs despite all the messages is not a good start ”

FU

[Tolriq]

And still here trying to invert roles

There’s a dozen messages saying: Logs are mandatory else issues are ignored.

Facts: I gently remind you of your disrespectful action, I gave you the only possible reason and said: I CAN’T HELP YOU. And now you say I should have said I can’t help you … Seriously amazing when Karen’s can’t even read what happened

When you go to some place and ignore the rules, you are the rude person … Seriously get a brain and learn education …

When you smoke under a no smoke signal you are the issue, not the guy who calmly remind you that you are doing something wrong.

When you cut the line you are the issue, not the guy who remind you that you are not allowed to cut the line and should go back to the end of the line.

You are a Karen, even if you’ll never admit that. As I said your entitlement level is so high you don’t even see facts as facts …

Again I talk to people the way they talk to me, you are a disrespectful Karen and are treated like that. 100% of the people who say I’m rude are the same kind.

Yet there’s thousands of people who respect me and are happy with my support (95% at least of the normal people).

But as I said, your actions, the bad ratings and now the insults just confirm who you are, not me

[alexjet1000]

Not sure why you continue ignoring the fact that people on your own blog call you out for not being respectful and treating users meanly. You should probably find someone to help you out handle the blog so your anger doesnt come through so often.

pd. I just googled what Karen means lol. What is wrong with you?

[Tolriq]

Keep going

You have already proven that you can’t read but again:

I talk to people as they talk to me People who find me rude are always the one being rude first and then act like a little princess when talked back in the same way

You are a Karen, all your actions shows you are one, embrace it.

TL;DR; Why do you continue to ignore that you where rude ? See that works too …

[alexjet1000]

I dont know where you are from, probably american if you speak of Karen´s.

But answering: No logs despite all the messages is not a good start

IS rude where im from. Specially when i spent time writing the issue so you could say if you could help or not before making you look at logs.

You are clearly an unhinged person and very unrespectful in your answers, considerably entitled, and most user that have pointed out your behavior where absolutely right on doing so, but they didnt need to because your way of speaking to people shows by itself what kind of person you are.

Maybe get some help

[Tolriq]

Still here trying to convince me that my answer to your lack of respect was not correct ?

You are ridiculous, you ignored the rules of the wizard and lied in it. End of story.

You don’t like that I gently remind you of your actions is just the cherry on the cake confirming the kind of disrespectful person you are

Rules for them but not for me …

Again the guy who remind you that you broke the rules is not the problem, breaking the rules is …

Your first answer, your insults, your bad rating, you are the problem here. Respect goes both ways, when you’ll understand that life will be better

[alexjet1000]

Life is great man, yours going after people is not. You literally are the worst support individual i have ever encountered in my whole life as a developer. I hope you recover mentally. I already reported your behavior fully to play store.

Have a nice day

[Tolriq]

And still here As always Karen want the last word

A normal person would have left a long time ago, but no people like you can’t stand facts so needs to repeat their stuff until they are convinced that’s they are facts

It’s so pathetic that it’s actually sad to see such level of delusion.

@alexjet1000

yours going after people is not.

Usual projection BTW You are the one that keeps coming at me, and updating your bad rating
I just answer because well this is my forum after all

[alexjet1000]

Im just not going to let you get away with your constant insults.

I will take further action if you continue to do so.

[Tolriq]

So still here ? That’s strange, I wonder why.

@alexjet1000

FU

Care to elaborate on what this means ? I think you actually insulted me first, but what do I know after all
