Pass mp3 tags to BT devices.

[wolffcastle]

I'm using a bluetooth headset with a simple screen so it shows mp3 meta data of the "now playing" track. The metadata displays fine when using other music players like the native "play music" or the "Walkman app" (I have an xperia) just not when using GMMP. Can GMMP throw the meta data to paired bluetooth devices which GMMP/the phone is streaming the the music to?

Additional comments:
The music from GMMP comes through the headset OK and the play, pause, next buttons on the headset work perfectly too. It simply appears as if GMMP doesn't share meta data the way other players do. All my headset tries to show is Artist and Trackname.

not sure why it wouldnt work on your device. GMMP sends out the same intents that play music does (which is typically how the metadata is sent). There is no official avrcp 1.3+ support until android 4.3 but GMMP will broadcast the metadata on devices that support it

Unless you can get a non native music player (player pro, poweramp, etc) to send out the info I would most likely say its an issue with your device.

As always, thx for your quick reply.

Hmmm on your advise I tried both player pro and poweramp and same issue - no mp3 tags. How interesting (and crap of Sony).

I guess I'm stuck, I have a sony xperia z1 and a sony headset (sbh52) and if I refer to sony tech support they'll tell me it works correctly and they can't support 3rd party apps. Which from their POV is 100% correct. Still, I'm really surprised the native music player works and GMMP doesn't. I wonder what's going on behind the scenes....anyway thx for your support.

If anyone else reading this thread has had a similar experience and knows a fix can you let me know.

I'm interested in Sony SBH50 with display. Is there NO way to show MP3tags on this display?

I own a new SBH50, but with the same "results" see above.
I found a SDK, maybe it's helpfully for you!?

The funny thing is. I can see two tag entries, but I see these entries all the time -> artist and title, but without change (always the same artist and the same title for all songs ).
