Playlists in background don't work properly

[Sergi Quiles Pérez]

When you start to play a playlist, after a song is finished another one starts.

But if the app is running in background when the current song is finished the player stops. If you take the app to the foreground again the next song is played.

Thanks.

I can confirm this bug on my Meizu MX4 16 GB running Ubuntu 15.04 (r4). It happens on wifi and 3g/4g.

I have a BQ Aquaris 4.5 Ubuntu Edition with Ubuntu 15.04 (r25).

I've tried it only with wifi on.

Thank you.

This is because the application is suspended when running in the background and there is no easy way around this for now, but users can use this application to prevent the application is suspended https://open.uappexplorer.com /app/tweakgeek.mzanetti

https://uappexplorer.com/app/com.ubuntu.music can play music in the background but https://uappexplorer.com/app/com.mikeasoft.cutespotify is not able to. I think they use different pipes.

I don't like the idea of using the Openstore because of a lack in security.

Thank you!

Isn't OTA-7 getting a feature that will allow apps to run in the background?

The bug is still unsolved. It is related to the way Ubuntu Touch works. So I think you can't do anything.

Thanks for your job. :-)

[Sergi Quiles Pérez (sergiqp)]

It is working now. Good job! Thanks! :))
