Playing Music from Phone over Bluetooth - 2012 Escape - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a 2012 Escape. I have about 500 songs on my cell phone (Nexus 6) that I would like to be able to play over the bluetooth audio.
I know this is more of a question thats probably best to ask in a Ford Escape Forum, but the people here are so knowledgable, that I wanted to give this a shot, first.
I am able to utilize Bluetooth to make/receive phone calls, but I cannot figure out how to make it so the songs will play through the stock radio unit.
One weird thing, though, is that, if I start playing music on my phone, then I can push the "Next Track" button > and then the song will switch to another song, but still be playing on my phone.
I am sorry if I am explaining this a bit weird. I am not sure of all the terminology and such.
This is the radio I have:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, has anyone purchased an aftermarket head unit, such as this one? Was it easy to install? Does it work good?
Thank you for all your help!
Best regards.Hi,

Have you tried:
Sounds dumb, but the media volume is turned up on your phone, correct, when playing music?
Under Settings - Bluetooth - touch gear icon next to paired headunit - "Media audio" box is checked, correct?
Removing the pairing association from your phone and the head unit, then re-pairing the phone to the head unit?

Which media player are you using on your phone? I use JetAudio it's a nice player and I have had trouble in the past with some players not pairing properly. I would try a couple players and see if that solves the issue. If it's paired in the sense that you can make calls the issue obviously ins't the actual pairing of the devices.
I too have a 2012 Ford and have had problems with the actual player itself in the past. PM me if you have anymore questions :silly:

I know that Android is beginning to replace WinMo, but if you want to get a foothold on Android your going to have to port your media player to android first.
never used winmo, put had a 'play' the other day, it is truly awful, but haret.exe fixed it, the diamond now has Eclair 2.0 on it, and hell it works much better... when camera fully works will do nand flash and get rid of the winmo bs )

The main difference between winmo and android/iphone is that one is for professional use (intelligent people who work and think) and one is for entertainment (children, adult handicaps and people who don't know how to hold a pencil). Unfortunately looks like WinPho7 is going that way too - another toy. You might like it

I don't want to bring you down but you're bundling a lot of useless files (same as Tech1 build... all those dll files are either useless or already exist in the ROM). I get the feeling you used Tech1 pack as base and added some files from the fake 0.81 and the other ones are from bimbam...
Some may prefer the subs.plg (because it works in all video modes) but has a lot of flickering in fullscreen depending on the video size and must be activated (in settings) everytime you play a movie with subs.
Only advantage is that using an old player.exe makes the lyrics plugin work...
However it's a (way) bigger setup, without skin support (unless you consider the backgound used by the lyrics plugin) and older components.
Some Pointers...
You may want to see exactly which plugins your executable uses, and which it does not... These will vary depending on which versions you have. More is not always better, and fewer plugins means more speed, and greater efficiency. With testing, you will be able to determine which ones you can delete, and which ones are necessary...

Problem Using Official Youtube Website(which has worked in the past)

Hello people, I have noticed some problems running youtube(desktop version) videos for the past 4-5 days. As the title states..I've had youtube up and running before seamlessly, hence I am wondering whether any of you have experienced the same problem at any point.
I have the DVHA79 AdobeFlash3.1 plugin and use Opera to browse the website.
The videos used to play perfectly, (and videos from other flash websites still work).. However, youtube now plays my chosen video for around 60 seconds, and then the video box turns white, and displays the following words "Go Upgrade" as shown below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So can others out there that had the desktop version of the youtube website working on their X1 check to see whether it still works (and is capable of playing a 3-4minute video) so that we can workout whether its a change on my device, or a change in youtube's service that is causing the problems..
I appreciate any of you taking the time to check.
Bump..
Come on...there must be atleast one of you here that can check n confirm this for me!
All of my broswers open mobile You Tube.
All the youtube videos ebedded on pages like WMPowerusers
seem to work..
I use native Google app.
Finally someone replies!
If you had the flash plugin installed, then you could have browsed most flash websites in opera, and it would play identically to how your computer would play them.
Thanks for trying tho
That's what I wrote.
If I didn't have flash installed
I wouldn't be able to see the videos.
I have it since January 2009.
So my answer is - it works.
But I don't use it 'cos it's a crippled experience
compared to watching YouTube in app.
You wrote "All of my browsers open mobile You Tube"
Thats why I mentioned the flash plugin, as even my browser manages to play embedded youtube videos on WMPoweruser etc.
My concern was predominantly for people with the flash plugin navigating their Opera browsers to www.youtube.com, then clicking "Desktop" at the bottom of the page (if it went to the mobile site initially) and then playing a video to see whether it plays the full course of a 3-4 minute video.
Again, I'd appereciate it any of you could take the time to check
I also wrote I have Flash Lite plugin from Jan 2009
And was watching YouTube videos from WMPoweruser.
Anyway on OPeraMobile 9.5 and 10
I get "Error occured. Please try again later."

Hello,
When we packed the xap file, development tool had an error about the recording function. Sorry for the recording bug. You can wait for the version 2.1. We have submitted it to Microsoft. It will be published in the coming days. The recording issue will be addressed in the version 2.1.
Regards,
Fscode
Recording bug is still there in version 2.1. Crashing the app. when attempting to record video. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling but the app. is still crashing. Hope you can fix this.

Hello,
The version 2.1 is available at the marketplace. Unfortunately, the recording function is still not working. When the program is on the process of the testing, it works well.
When we submit the app to Microsoft's certification team, the Microsoft automatically packed our program and deleled the Microphone tag in the course of the certification. So you can't open the recording function. We have figured out a way to solve it. We are negotiate with Microsoft on the problem. You need to wait a few days. We are sorry for the inconvenience. When the problem is solved, we will let you know.
Regards,
Fscode
it only show v.1.9

Is it better than HTC Youtube?

DLNA/UPNP problem with Onkyo AV-Receiver

My Galaxy Note doesn't recognize my Onkyo TX-NR509 in Allshare. The other way round the Onkyo recognizes all DLNA/UPNP devices in my network but not the Note. Using BubbleUPNP it sees the Onkyo and I can choose it as the output device but when I start streaming it doesn't play and ends with an error ("Transport is locked (Code: 705)"). Every other phone is working fine with the Onkyo (Desire HD, Defy, Milestone)
Any clues?
Thanks
since I in the router "UPnP" allowed , it works for me (Onkyo TX 8050)
( test it, now works it no more ..... He sees him, NAS works, PopCorn A 100 works no more Onkyo ?,strange )

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with my Onkyo TX-NR609!
Have you solved this issue?
BubbleUPnP has no problems streaming to my Medion WLAN-radio and other devices, only streaming to my Onkyo-receiver fails.
Best regards

tried different codec songs?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, MP3 and AAC, while AAC fails with every device!
I found the "Onkyo Remote"-app on Google Play, and with this app streaming is as easy as it should be.
So no idea, why it won't work with BubbleUPnP...

It's not about codecs and not about BubbleUPnP The general problem is that the Samsung Note doesn't recognize the Onkyo as a DLNA/UPNP device. Allshare doesn't even see it. It's also Rom independent - same prob with Stock as with CM10. Really a shame. Thank god I own a WD TV Live
Okay, this is really a shame for Samsung!
Here you can find the Onkyo-app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...Remote&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Using it, streaming works like a charm.

actually dnla implementation is up to manufacturers. Then it could very well be wrong on onkyos side.
I guess another standard missing the boat. Just like java.

Hi,
just for info, Bubble UPNP works fine with my Onkyo TX-NR616.
Concering "Transport is locked (Code: 705)"... I need to select NET -> DNLA manually (e.g. using the Remote or Onkyo App) before using Bubble UPNP. But then all is working as expected. However, no gapless support.
Best regards

Thank you so much for that tip. I spent all night last night trying to find the solution, even trying to contact the developer. I have 2 onkyos TX-NR708 in family room and TX-NR818 in theater. Problem was showing on the 708 your tip worked like a charm. Mine actually showed Bubble Upnp in the display. Thank you again.

[HOW-TO] Avoid battery draining by "Media Server"

Hi everybody, i had a few problem with the "Media Server" glitch that drained out of my new Nexus 4 a good 40% of juice after a full recharge.
Now after a good work-around e surfing on the internet i want to share with you what can cause this annoying thing.
If you see something like this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then this is not normal.
1: What drained so much battery from my phone was Rayman Jungle Run (a game) in fact even if I stopped play at the application was cached in memory and was using some sort of service. SOLUTION: Eliminate the app in the cache section in Setting > Application > In use OR swipe the app in the recent apps menu.
2: Many users say that media server can enter in a loop when trying to collect info from a corrupt file such as mp3, images, videos.
SOLUTION: Try to search for damaged files in your library and delete them.
3: The third cause can be the Google Play Music trying to sinchronyze all the music you have stored on the cloud. SOLUTION: Turn off synchro or wait until it's finished.
4: The last one is the sound when clicking the keyboard. Even if you are in silence mode the phone will load the sound from the library. SOLUTION: Turn off sound clicking in Settings > Audio AND in the option of the keyboard you are using.
Sorry if my english is not perfect, and hit thanks if I have helped you. Thank you
up
thank you
I have been looking for a solution every where with no luck until I tried the system sounds and keyboard clicks. It might be to early to tell but I think the problem is solved. I miss the sounds though

How can u tell if a file is "corrupted"? When i scroll thru my music list all of them have the appropriate music icon on them.

Surely you can just disable Media Server?
I'm running stock ROM with fauxs latest beta and for the first time my media server is at 3% whilst using player pro, I don't stream any music its all on the sdcard Normally its running at silly % while I'm playing music. On the other hand noozy doesn't use the media server so if you guys like that player :thumbup:

Dev believes to have fixed script although I'm still seeing the issue. Don't be fooled by thinking you have corrupt files. It definitely seems to be a Nexus 4 media server issue. I use power amp mostly.

Hello,
I'm having this problem media scanner drains the battery so fast rendering the phone unusable im down to 50% in 3 hours with only 1 hour screen time and didnt use google music player at all this is outrageous if i have to keep charging the device 2-3 times a day the battery will degrade much faster no?
why is google not updating as far as i know the problem persists since before the release of the device!

I solved the media server issue unistalling viber.
Now it is ok..
for me it was pictures saved with the Camera FV5 app that kept corrupting something. As soon as I deleted them from my library media server usage is at 6%
