Solve this Mystery!! Google Play Music goes silent

[griffdaddy]

Solved... Kinda

Okay guys, this is definitely something to do with authorisation for devices. I deauthorised all my devices and then reauthorised the ones I actually still have and it's back working. The only problem is that instead of going silent on the next song, it says 'the stream could not be played' but if I just click play again it plays the song perfectly.

Nice, I'll give that a shot

Kinda pain in the a.. to have to press play after each song in an album/playlist. It also works on my box but in reality it's not something I can/want to do.

It doesn't happen all the time and if does I just double tap enter on the keyboard. To be honest it's probably something we just have to wait for Google to fix, I'm sure they will. I already wrote to them about it.

There is a lot of postings if you Google this problem - especially owners of LG mobiles have had big problems.. but if they flashed a custom ROM the problem went away, so I got the impression that it might be ROM related.

My trial has ended, have they fixed it yet? I see there was an update today, I'm hoping google are scared by the new Apple radio thing and got theirs sorted...?

So did anyone ever find a fix for this. One of the main reasons I bought my T-R 42 Android box was for Google Music, real pity it's not working.

Any ideas anyone?

Google Music's latest updates didn't solve it. I'm not using All Access I'm just streaming my uploaded music. Very strange,need one of the resident genius's to figure it out...

I love my all access but it almost makes me blame my mk908 for this feature to be having problems. I can't find a solution anywhere!

I had the same issue. Now I'm on KitKat 4.4.2 for T-R42 by Wasser. This solved my issue. I only could test it with my uploaded music, because I don't have AllAccess.

My box has the 2.0 board and is coonected by LAN.

oh..someone beat me to the punch! I've since bought a Minix x7 (if you have a mk908 I honestly don't see much of a difference of upgrading) but the new 4.4.2 roms work with my All Access, what a relief!

Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but I am having this problem with my Ugoos UM2 and Timingpower RK3188. Did anyone ever figure this out or did you all just end up getting new devices or trying new ROMS. All of the ROMS I have tried with these devices do the same thing.

[erocm123]

I have found a solution that is working for me on. I'm guessing that this should work on other RK3188 devices. It seems that Rockchip has implemented the use of ffmpegmediaplayer in their development image. For some reason, this media class causes the Android mediaserver (/system/bin/mediaserver) process to die when Google Play Music performs certain actions. I didn't dig deep enough to see what Google Play Music was doing to cause the error. I didn't have problems with other music apps, but they may not use Androids built in media player.

The solution is a simple build.prop edit. I believe this edit effectively disables ffmpegmediaplayer so keep in mind that you will lose the extra codec support / features that it provides. This was not a big deal for me. Some of this information is speculation / assumption so don't take it as gospel. If anyone out there is more knowledgeable than me on the subject please interject. I do know that Google Play Music now works for me without a hitch. Before it was crashing / throwing errors after reaching the end of the first song. The solution was to change (in build.prop) and then reboot:

sys.ffmpeg_sf.switch=0
to
sys.ffmpeg_sf.switch=1

Thank you

I just wanted to say thanks - this has been driving me crazy, I couldn't find anything else on the web.

I altered the build.prop and it now works like a charm

I have an Imito QX1.

Thanks again.
