Hi,
I have checked your Log and I can see that MMA playback starts because KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY action received from your ear buds. This is legit action for start playback so it cannot be ignored on MMA side.

Description: music as automatically when touching ear buds even if listening to podcast or any other audio. have turned off auto resume disabled. restarts automatically at same track.also restarts after disabling track in app settings after touching Samsung ear buds

Hi,
Unable to replicate, thus I have noticed that once connected to a car headunit MMA quickly shows in background, but do not start playback and process is killed and foreground player takes over and start playback.

I have both unchecked, and it still auto plays

OK, That DID work on the Bose Soundlink Mini and Soundlink III (note the ones I have DO NOT have the newer bluetooth control button that will pause/play the sending device).

It did NOT work with HondaLink. I got in the car, Audible player loaded and ready, but MM started playing.

I think it's because the car is sending a "play" signal once it connects to the device. MM has another setting in the Options called "Always respond to remote buttons (Responds to bluetooth or other controls even if another player was last used)". I turned that off also and not it seems to behave the way I want it to. The car display showed the Audible book title and since MM wasn't going to respond the the play command, Audible did and started playing.

Thank you Media Monkey for giving the USER control of these behaviors! I really dislike programmers that decide these things FOR you and you just better deal with it (I'm looking at you Apple, that's why I abandoned you).

Thank you! That seems to have done it - at least on my SoundLInk I'll report back if it still behaves differently after I head to work tomorrow!

In the Options you can disable it with resume play on connection.

Hello everybody,
I just registered for the Forums just to ask this question:

I have an Android 7.0 with MM for Android on it (Ver 1.3.2.0824)

I first bought it because (unlike the stock Android media player app) is displays the ENTIRE cover image when playing a song (I have 2200 mp3s that I spent months imbedding hi res cover images into every file). Stupid Android player cuts off vast chunks of it which is annoying

Since then I've come to really like this little player!

It has a behavior that I REALLY don't like.

Many times when driving to/from work I listen to audiobooks on the Audible app (1st book is free, I would recommend Ready Player One - MUCH better than the recent movie, read by Wil Wheaton).

EVERY TIME I connect my phone to a bluetooth device (my HimBox in one car, Honda HandsFree Link in my other car, my Bose SoundLink III, etc), NO MATTER WHAT APP I have open an ready to play, Media Monkey takes control and plays.

I have even tried having Audible's app ACTIVELY PLAYING my book in my hand when I turn on the car and it connects. The car's dash display quickly shows the Audible book title, narrator, chapter number, etc for about 1 second, then boom - Media Monkey is playing. Not one word from the narrator is heard before MM takes over.

Before installing MM I actually used the Android Player and it would play nicely and let Audible play when connecting to bluetooth.

Is there a way to disable or specify preferences for this behavior?

Thanks in advance for any help!
