[Q] Media Controller app and album art? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hi,
I think on the stock TouchWiz, shortly after I bought the Gear.. I believe Media Controller app was displaying album art as a background.
I have pure black background on Null. I'm using PowerAmp on my Note 3 to play music.
Any ideas?

Cover Art only seem to work with the Samsung music app.

I'm using the normal player on my S3 and it works fine.
The cover must be named albumart.jpg.

Aw dang. Do it does not detect embedded album art within the mp3?

I don't know, I'm only using FLAC files (at 99%) and my covers are in separate files.

I think it needs to be embedded in the MP 3 ...
Got a handy app for it...

Install Air Push Detector. That should help you identify it.

I don't know why It does that. I've found if you save the picture you can see it clearly.

Thanks, I downloaded it and the other one he recommends. I get this ad a few times a day so I should be able to pinpoint the app by tonight or in the morning.
If you have a music download app that is the culprit

The only music apps I use are rhapsody (for a year and a half) and Google music (since I got a beta invite months back) , and neither have given me any trouble. The rhapsody app is actually much better than their PC client.
Weird
I can see screenshots fine on the desktop, but when i use the xda app on my phone, they're always blurry, who knows. Sorry to derail.

No problem, the issue was resolved anyway. I don't know why that is, but I have the same problem viewing pics that were posted using the app when I'm browsing on my PC, phone, or tablet. BTW, I used photobucket to post that pic.

[SHARE] Cool thing about the stock music application

Guys, I don't know if you knew this already but this is really cool. I saw one of my friend using iTouch and wondered if I can have that feature too. Luckily, it did. Putting lyrics on the song and you can view it also while playing the song via stock music application.
Tried it on Samsung units and epic fail. Great feature LG! ) Haha.

i can help you if you dont mind using realplayer
download latest version of realplayer and :
Let it scan all songs and then search the song you want to add lyrics to.
right click on it and you will find some option like edit song information ( i haven't used it from a long time so i dont remember it ).
when you get a small window to edit songs artist,album, title n all so look at the right there will be cloumn named lyrics....paste your lyrics in it and save....move it to ur OB and enjoy
can be dont on itunes too....just go to edit songs info....in the small window you will see some tabs like artwork,lyrics and all....simply open the tab and paste the lyrics and save......n ur done
i've added the lyrics through itunes but it won't show up when played on the phone.

Flash Player For N7 - Easy method!(no root required)

There are many videos and method to getting flash player on your Nexus 7 tablet... but the easiest way I've gotten mine to work was threw this method here... I've tried the dolphin browser 8.5.1 method, and i didn't want to use the stock galaxy nexus browser as it required me to root and for me to tamper around with system files, for which with an error on my be halve will cause me serious problems... the XScope Pro browser worked great for me.. and here's to hoping it will do the same for you! 8)

Got Flash installed through side loaded apk, runs great through Firefox. Most streaming media will play video but no audio. Has anyone noticed better results through different browsers?

Free Music

Some good free tunes at the Play store today. Check out the "Free New Indie, Hip-Hop, Electronic and More" section. I seldom find anything I like, but took 6 of 10 of these!
Call me old school, but I still buy all my music. If I want it on my tab or phone I just rip it at 320kbps and off we go.
Dam play store dont work in my country (music and movies section)
Not sure how to access free music section from the Play store on the Nexus.... Did you find it there or on a pc?
Cheers,
Jon

I did it on a PC, but looking at my Nexus, if you just scroll down to the bottom of the screen it's the 3rd block up on the left. It's all very "bassy", so listening with earbuds or on a PC sounds much better.

Odd Gear Discovery In PowerOn.ogg, TW_Touch.ogg, LowBattery.ogg files

well I was just playing around with the sound file from the gear and played the "PowerOn.ogg", "TW_Touch.ogg", "LowBattery.ogg" file in VLC and look what was embedded in the file. LOL. Thought I would just share.
