When connected to a Bluetooth device that displays the metadata of the currently playing song, metadata does not update when a new song starts (either by the previous song ending, or tapping the “next” button). The metadata is displayed correctly within the app itself, the issue is only with the metadata over Bluetooth. If I select a new song (by tapping on its name), the metadata is updated.
Steps to reproduce:
Connect to a device via Bluetooth that displays track metadata (a car, for instance).
Play a track in Symfonium, and either wait for the song to end, or press the skip button to go to the next song.
The metadata on the Bluetooth device is not updated with the correct information.
The issue does not occur every time I press the skip button or a song ends, however it is consistent enough to the point where it should be easily reproducible.
The metadata seems to correct itself if I pause the music.
I am using Symfonium 1.5.0 on a Google Pixel 6 running Android 12 (though I have experienced this issue on multiple devices, also running Android 12).
My media provider is Subsonic (the server is using Navidrome 0.47.5).
I’ve tried killing the app and restarting it, uninstalling and re-installing it, restarting my device, etc.
I do not experience this issue when using other music apps, such as Spotify.
The issue seems to have appeared with the latest update, this wasn’t occurring before that.
The notification and media shade update with the app, no issues there as far as I can tell. As for the beta, Google Play reports that the beta program is full, so I’m unable to get the beta to test.
Since you say it was added in last version, let’s assume it’s caused by the small issue preventing image reload and one metadata push so it will be fixed in next release.
If not then I’ll try to find a way to repro.
Well I’m out of home for nearly 2 weeks, but I guess it will be a fun debug session with random tests
Can’t repro on my car (but it’s recent and also support Android Auto)
I believe I’m also experiencing this issue, although with a Wear OS 2 smartwatch. The song title is updated correctly, but the artist is never updated. That means that when starting a new media session, no artist is shown at all, and if a different artist was previously shown by another music app, that artist will continue to show when changing tracks in Synfonium.
(check the image description for more info, I couldn’t upload more than one image here on the forum because my account is new, so I had to share the album)
Device is a OnePlus 5 running Pixel Experience 12.1 (A12), connected to a Jellyfin backend.
Hope this helps
Will add more logs about media session in next release but this makes no sense since the local OS media session is working.
Can you too confirm the Android notification always have the proper data ?
While the issue was always intermittent, I tried restarting my phone and my car multiple times and I can’t reproduce it now, so you might have just fixed it! I’ll continue to test over the next few days. If it happens again, I’ll get you those systems logs using ADB.
