Title: Gizmo no longer works after Lollipop upgrade
Post by: zerotouch on November 23, 2014, 11:04:28 am: HI I just updated my Nexus 5 and 7 to Lollipop and now neither device will play audio files. Video is fine.
I have a Samsung which I've no upgraded and Audio still works on that. Anyoenelse have this issue?

The files will play on the server through Gizmo but will not work on the Android device.

The device will check cache OK then will say "preparing" and just stay like that.

I've reloaded Gizmo and cleared out cache on the Nexus

Any help please....

Paul

Post by: dees_74 on November 23, 2014, 01:25:52 pm: I also have a Nexus 5 and have this problem. Tried the NuPlayer adjustment also and it is still doing the same thing. Odd that Matt's Nexus 5 is fine, yet mine and zerotouch's have the same problem... ?

Post by: flac.rules on November 23, 2014, 03:43:49 pm: I checked, I can reproduce the problem on my Nexus 5 with Lollipop.

Using gizmo to control the music on the server works fine, but playing on the device gets stuck on "preparing" Nuplayer on or off makes no difference.

Where is that setting? I don't even know what it's set to on my phone.

Thanks.

This worked on the nexus 5 and 7

Post by: dees_74 on November 23, 2014, 04:50:38 pm: Disabling cache worked. Thanks.
Is there any chance we'll be able to regain the ability to cache (in a future update)? I ask because caching make playback to much smoother when you are in an area with dodgy signals.

Post by: JimH on November 23, 2014, 05:45:01 pm: Newer versions of Android are skeptical of apps that write to directories that they don't "own". You may have found a related problem.

I can verify, disabling cache works here too.

Post by: dees_74 on November 24, 2014, 02:54:24 pm: Thanks for all of the support. It's good to know that Gizmo will work now.

I'd like to request that in future versions of Gizmo, all users be able to cache our streaming music regardless of Android version.

Thanks again for all of your help! ;D

Post by: Hendrik on November 26, 2014, 10:07:55 am: Gizmo 20.0.34 has been posted on the top of the Remotes board, and should fix playback with the cache active on Lollipop Android devices.
