IOS music player audio gets paused when switching to AIR app

Hi,
iOS default music player's audio gets paused automatically whenever I switch to an AIR app. Is there a way to keep it playing?

I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.

How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
How can I do that?
How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
Thank you very much.

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

IOS Music Player MP3 Gapless Playback Problem

Hi,
I've been having this gapless playback issue on iOS now for the past few years, since at least iOS 6 if I can remember correctly. The number one reason I use an iPhone and iOS devices is for gapless playback in the iOS music player. For the last few years I've been experiencing a bug with the stock iOS music player on my iPhone 4S using iOS 6 and on my iPhone 5 using iOS 6 & 7, and currently on my new iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2. This only happens on my iPhones and using iOS, this bug is not found when I use my iPod classic or when playing the same albums through iTunes.
I thought it might have been spotted by other iOS users and fixed in iOS 7.1 or at least the current version of iOS 8, but instead it's gotten worse, albums that used to play smoothly between transitions now suddenly pause and jump for a split second when changing from track to track.
What's happening is, I listen to a lot of albums that are continuously DJ mixed and play straight through without any pauses between tracks, and I've been experiencing problems a lot now with random split second pauses between tracks and choppy transitions. These albums in question have been ripped from cd using the latest versions of iTunes.
For example,
I'd be listening to an album and it would play gapless and smooth for most of the album, but maybe one or two transitions on the album would have a split second pause between them, and the rest of the album would play perfectly with no pauses, skips or jumps at all.
This only happens on my iPhone, as I have a 160gb iPod classic and I've listened to all the same albums on it and never has a problem playing the album without any pauses, every album plays 100% smooth and gapless on it.
I mailed Apple about it through their feedback page on their site... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Hoping that they would take note of this and try and look into it and fix the issue. That was probably about a year ago now, never got fixed or got any confirmation back from them about this problem. Then last August, I'd had enough and contacted Apple support to notify them about this issue. They told me the usual story, "have you tried restoring the phone?", which I obliged and did. The problem was there on a freshly restored iPhone 5.
So they told me that they would put me in touch with someone higher in Apple to take the case further, "great" I thought.
I spoke with a senior care advisor and explained the problem and agreed to send detailed explanations of the issue and test files too so that they could hopefully hear what I was talking about. But after a few weeks of going back and forward, I finally got them to hear the issue with the random pauses, the first week they denied there was a problem and said the files played ok on their test iOS devices, so I myself tried the files on another iOS device and the same problem was there.
The last correspondence I had with the Apple care advisor was back in the end of August / start of September, and she told me that they spotted the issue and was told by the tech's that it would be fixed in a future update, I never got a when this would happen, I was just told to make sure my iOS device was up to date with the latest version of iOS. I couldn't speak to an actual technician, got no follow up support, just a vague "We'll look into it." Case Closed.
I got so sick of this problem that I sold my iPhone and iPad just after this last phone call with the Apple people, and switched over to Android. I'd being reading up on gapless playback music players and found out that there's a good few available for Android devices. I got myself a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, twice as powerful as the iPhone 6 and half the price. I was using that for the last few months, and playing my music through Neutron Music Player app which is a great music player which plays gapless 100%
But I couldn't really take to Android OS, seeing as I've been using Apple products for around 10 years now and iOS since the iPhone 3G. So I decided to contact Apple again and see if they'd fixed the music player issue in iOS yet.
I wrote a long email explaining the problem, how it wasn't really looked at properly, and how I was a long time Apple customer and had to resort to switching over to Android because the basic music player functions on iOS devices have bugs. I took a chance in mailing this to Tim Cook's offices, I knew he wouldn't reply personally, just thought that it might get read by someone in his offices with a bit more say in the matter.
Just before Xmas, I got a call from someone from executive relations from my local Apple offices about this. He seemed nice and was aware of the problem from reading back through my emails and previous case notes from August when I opened this case originally.
We had a talk and he said he would get one of the tech's to call me too about this so that I could explain the bugs to someone more knowledgeable about iOS.
A few days later I received a call from one of the tech's at Apple and was chatting to him, explaining the problem. His response was that he thinks Apple doesn't support gapless playback on current iOS devices. From looking at the gapless playback information page on the Apple support site below, it looks like it hasn't been updated to show any iPhone models after the iPhone 3GS... http://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT201644
I was trying to explain to him how ridiculous this sounded, why would Apple stop supporting basic functions on their music player on iOS devices? It makes no sense at all? You can see that the amount of hardware devices and software that supports gapless playback today... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback#Player_support
He couldn't explain either, he just said that because it's not listed there on the Apple support page.
Then the next day I got the follow up call from the Apple executive relations guy, he was stating that he was speaking to the tech guy that called me and it looks like Apple doesn't support gapless playback anymore, from looking at the documentation on site.
I told him how stupid this was, and how lots of music players have gapless playback as standard today. And if they don't support it now, then why does it play through some parts of the albums on iOS ok and then just randomly pause, or have jumpy / choppy transitions on the rest of the album. If it was the case, no albums would play gaplessly at all, it would be like when the first ever iPod's were released back in the day with no gapless playback and would pause for a split second between every transition.
He couldn't give me an answer and said that maybe down the line they would start supporting it again, and that I should request the feature to be added to future iOS versions via the iPhone feedback page... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
He just kept on emphasising that it was "NOT A BUG OR ISSUE", trying to cover up the problem because the info on the site wasn't updated to show the current iOS devices. Which in itself is wrong, looking at the page it says "Supported iPod and iPhone models (make sure you have the latest iPod or iPhone software)"
iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS only go up to iOS 6, so that contradicts itself when the latest version is iOS 8.
The info is out of date and needs to be updated. So in August I was told, "we found the issue and will look into it" and a few months later, "it's not an issue", what's a cop out.
I was annoyed and taken back by this response, and really found it hard to believe that this was the case, Apple stopping supporting their music player on iOS devices. Seeing as iTunes plays everything smoothly and no gapless issues. I just went out and bought an iPhone 6 for €900 / $1060, and for that money you'd expect it's basic music player to work. It's total BS to think that a top computer software / hardware company would just decide to abandon basic functions in their devices, especially when we are talking about how much Apple takes pride in their products and how much more they charge for them over their competitors.
So this is my next step to try and get this problem seen and out in the open more. The more people who know about it and are aware of the issue, the better.
Hopefully more people can get the word around and get this noticed by Apple and finally fixed.
I've uploaded some test files below to show the problem. The files are mp3's and aac, and have been ripped from cd using the latest version of iTunes. The mp3's are the ones with the issue, but the aac play with no problem. If you listen to the transition at the end of track 2 (2-02 Colours (JH Re-Edit)) going into the start of track 3 (2-03 Your Body), you will notice the split second pause / jump. But listen to the aac version and compare it to the mp3 version and you will hear that it plays back fine, just as it's supposed to. Try them in iTunes too and both versions playback fine, no jumps or pauses.
You can download them here, all links have the same files, I just uploaded them to different hosts for other people's choosing...

More files can be provided if needed to show the problem happening on various other albums.
I really hope that people can spot this issue too and help get this fixed, I know this gapless playback feature might not be important to some people, but like I said at the start, it's an essential function for me in a music player and I use it on a daily basis when I listen to music.
Thanks for reading this long rant of mine, appreciate it.

N70 Music Player (S60 v2) issues when updating...

So it all started when I updated the firmware of my N70. At first everything seemed alright. I even liked the way it shows the song playing at the moment in the stand-by screen.
But when I put more music in the phone through PC Suite, it started to do this "Opening and Handling" stuff every time I open the Music Player. It is completely acceptable except when it removes the previous settings "shuffle, repeat" so that I have to manually put them on every time I start listening. It is very frustrating.
Now when I today added more music in my phone and then started the music player, it wouldn't start properly anymore. It just goes to the music list, then this "Opening" -screen pops up and after that it crashes to stand-by.
I was able to get the music player working at some level after this by removing the memory card and the battery and restarting the phone a few times. But the "Opening" -screen still pops up when I start the music player.
I think that the problem is due to some kind of a new setting that forces the music player to update the music library every time it starts that doesn't exist in the original firmware version.
So if anyone who knows more about the structure of the OS and the application itself would tell me if I am right about this setting and would kindly tell my how to change it(I presume there is an .ini file or something for the music player that contains the settings), I would appreciate it very much.
P.S. Sorry for the long post but I tried to explain it all as accurately as possible =)

So the problem reappeared sooner than I had feared. It is very urgent now as my music player doesn't work at all anymore. It goes to the music list, "opening" -screen pops up and then it crashes to the stand-by screen.

Audio gets lost when sending to Premiere Pro

Hey fellow Prelude users.
I encountered a nasty problem. I ingested some AVCHD Clips in Prelude and edited them and made many, many clips out of the footage. Then I sent it to Premiere for further edit. Unfortunatly at some Clips the audio is now missing, even if there's audio in Prelude. I tried to export just the audio from Prelude to match it with my roughcut but also the export has no audio at the points where the clips with missing audio are.
When importing the Clips without the new metadata by Prelude the audio is just fine. This seems to be a pretty weird issue.
Hope you can help.
Thank you,
Alex

I have run into the same problem with AVCHD footage. Initially, I thought that the problem might involve the transfer feature in Prelude CC's Ingest function. I had used that when ingesting the problem media, to move source clips to a couple of different folders on my edit station.
I subsequently realized that probably wasn't the case, since I had logged the clips in Prelude after they were ingested. So, they had sound when I ingested them, but not later, when I imported them into Premiere Pro CC.
The audio loss was complete on one clip--no sound at all on the clip or subclips when I opened the clip in Premiere. The audio loss was partial in the other clip--the audio level flatlined about three-quarters of the way through the clip. Each clip was about twenty minutes long--an interview with a subject for a documentary I'm shooting. I set subclips for each response that I planned to use in my cut of the film.
I keep my source cards as backup, so I was able to go back and re-ingest, this time without using the transfer feature. Instead, I copied the source card to my edit station, using Windows Explorer. Then I used Prelude ti ingest and log the copied media. That appears to have imported into Premiere without problem.

Why my music turns off on iPad when I use another app?

WWhy does my music turn off when I use another app?

What Music? You are aware that there are many ways that you can play music on your iPad other than by just using the built in Music app, aren't you? Many apps that play music will not run in the background if the app that you are using has sound.

I have an iPod 5 perfect condition iOS 7 except for one thing when I download an app just bought or free it won't show on the home screen now I go to AppStore or search and I can't open it on the AppStore and it dosent show up on search and syncs is

I have a wonderful iPod 5 but when I download an app it won't show up but it has more than 3 gigs left no matter weather it's free bought redownloaded it won't show up no matter AppStore it won't open the app search dosent show the app. Syncing dosent do anything if you have the same problem or know how to fix this without jailbreak plz tell me!!!!

- What exactly happens when you try to redownload directly to the iPod:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You said it won't open the app . What exactly happens?
Is the app listed is your Purchase history?
Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent installing those apps? Settings>General>Restrictions

Airror when converting to Air app in FB4

I create my fxp file in catalyst and then I import the file into FB4. Everything works fine until I click on "Add/Change property type" and convert it to and air applications. Suddenly I get no UI. I have changed the <s:Application></s:Application> to <s:WindowedApplication></s:WindowedApplication> but still all I get is a blank flash window. Any Ideas?

Thanks for the follow up.
I found that this error is logged as a bug with the development team. My work around was to create a new air app then export my assets from the first app and import them into my new air app. I then copied the "main".mxml text and pasted into my new air app making the designated change from s:Application to s:WindowedApplication and it worked. phew.

Audio from headphones gets distorted when switched to "entertainment mode" w

the sound quality from my headphones gets messed up whenever I switch to "entertainment mode." when i say "messed up," i mean the volume would constantly fluctuate from really high to just noise then high again.
however, when i switch it to "game mode" all the problems disappear.
why are my headphones (sennheiser pc50) not compatible with "entertainment mode?"
i have a creative x-fi xtrememusic card.

I had a similar problem using X-Fi Fatalty. By similar I mean everything worked until switching to entertainment mode. When in entertainment mode all audio had a horrible amount of loud static and noise riding on it. This wasn't limited to headphones though as the same occurred using my 2. speaker system. I was using the latest driver, from June of '06 I believe.
I rolled back to the driver on my install CD (version 5.2.2.43 dated 8/8/2005)and it solved the issue.

Music Player is getting worse with iOS 7 patch

Entire screen gets covered with album covers. No discernible interface. Just scroll through apparently every album. How do I get rid of that?
Album cover art & controls become my default screen art. Didn't ask for that. How do I turn it off?
Player screen went landscape, showed "Ratings" in the upper left corner in red. "Done" in the upper right. List of current playlist that I could scroll through. Neither link worked. Could not return app to expected behavior. Even re-booted. Still came back the same way.
I let it sit for a few minutes, and it seems to have corrected itself.
Apple, this is a buggy mess. Get your act together. Yes, I installed the latest update. Version 7.0.4. Thanks for listening.

Much worse. With all the new settings switched off and all the other old settings how they were on iOS 6, and folliwing my usual useage patterns, my battery dies approx 2 hours quicker with iOS 7. I did a clean install via iTunes too.

Streaming video lags while Audio continues normally when switching tabs

It only happens if I go from a streaming video tab to another tab or browser screen/software etc. anything that switches the main view of my screen from the video and back will cause this problem.
it will play fine at first, but once I look at facebook or bring up itunes etc, and switch back (usually doesnt occur right away, but once the video is a minute or two in it will 100%) the video will start to lag horribly and will never get back on track. the play buttons on youtube/netflix even stay as pause buttons even though I can click play and pause back and forth functionally, and the audio will never skip a beat, but the video will stop dead, lag a few frames and stop dead again and will never correct unless I refresh the page. I can't recreate this in chrome, I've cleared my history and caches, upped the storage size on the main cache and tried updating various things like flash and firefox (19.0) but nothing is solving it!

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later (?)
