Title: Better a2dp support for bluetooth? [Working now]
Post by: icanrule on October 25, 2011, 06:47:15 pm

This is less of a feature and more of a bug.  I've posted this before but didn't get any answers on if it will be fixed.  

It seems that a2dp support is extremely buggy with gizmo.  This is based on my previous post found at http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=65399.msg438359#msg438359 which got no replies.  

Every other media player I have ever used on android weather it's the stock app, winamp, ubbermusic, or half a dozen others they have no problems with a2dp controls with bluetooth.  It's only your program.  

Any chance this will be fixed in version 17 of gizmo?

I second this request.

Is this the proper place to post a bug?  Do admin's read over these forms.  I would like a yay or nay whether this functionality can be fixed for media center 17.  It's the only thing stopping me from upgrading J rivers from version 16.

Thanks for the bump.

I have a bluetooth headset sitting on my desk so I can test and hopefully fix this soon.

You can test an updated Gizmo that supports Bluetooth controls here:

This update will be available on the market in a week or so.

The new build works for me but only if Gizmo is the active app. If something else is open or the screen locked, the bluetooth controls don't work.

I think this is partly Android OS issue. I still haven't figured out how to tell Android (Gingerbread in my case) which app the bluetooth controls should be going to irrespective of which app is open in the foreground and whether the screen is locked or not.

I just did the newest update to Gizmo and things are sure looking good for the support for a2dp.  I have only installed it for a few hours but it seems to work under the condition if android is locked and if other apps are open.  I will continue to test throughout the week to confirm that everything is working but this is sure a step in the right direction.

A2DP is working like a gem on this most recent Gizmo update.  Purchase has been made for Media Center 17.
