How to prevent Bluetooth radio from automatically playing Google Music every time?
- Thread starter ergalthema
- Start date
Maybe do this profile for temporary solution:
Trigger:
State BT connected +App Google Play started
Task:
Music Stop
I don't know how to stop the task from repeating.
I did not fully understand what you mean by "stereo". Is your bluetooth device internal car bluetooth? Or is it something else?

My phone recognizes the car BT when I turn the car on. When I turn the stereo on (the receiver in the dash), Google Music starts playing.
I really don't know what's causing it. I don't see a setting in the receiver or in Google Music settings, or the Bluetooth settings in my Galaxy S5.

Pretty sure that's a Motorola thing only.
The music starts when I turn on the receiver, regardless of whether I'm driving or not.

Thanks, I'll try this pain-in-the-ass workaround:
I found a solution to this problem, actually I more like stumbled upon it. It's more like a work around, but you are going to need two apps to make this work. The first app is Disable AutoPlay and the second one is Media Button Router. I am sure that many of you have already tried both of these separately.
In the Disable AutoPlay app, you either have a choice "Disable Media Button" or to "Enable Media Button." Either one will work, I have already tested them both.
Next in the Media Button Router App, you must make sure "Enable" is checked. It does not matter if anything else is checked until you get down to the heading labeled "Apps To Show In The Selector." "DisableAutoPlay" actually shows up here, although I don't think it should maybe it is some kind of bug, but make sure that this app is checked and ONLY this app is checked, all other apps should be unchecked.
I noticed when I turn on my car, my stereo will read "Tr01" for about a second than goes into standby because "Tr01," so nothing happens. In this case I have not actually prevented AutoPlay from starting, it does its job, but can't play audio because "Tr01" does not exist and when it fails to play the audio it thinks it has reached the end of the current folder (at least that is my theory). This allowed me to use my navigation app, make phone calls and use my favorite music player app when I choose to do so. I believe it will also let you play your podcasts, although I have not tried that.

There's an app on the Sony EXPERIA Z4 called "Bluetooth Connect and Play".That 2-app combo workaround didn't work...

This happens because, when you connect, your head unit sends a Play command over Bluetooth. This is handled by the last-used media player, or by the default media player if none has been used yet.
This can be addressed in Tasker. Create a profile with the trigger State > Net > Bluetooth Connected, and choose the name or MAC of your head unit. For the task, use the action Media > Media Button Events > Grab.
Now, when you connect to the head unit, the play event will be routed to Tasker instead of to your music player. You could create a profile in Tasker to respond to this event, but since you haven't, nothing happens.
The play/pause controls on your head unit won't work until you launch your music player. At that point it will grab the media button events from Tasker. You could have Tasker wait a few seconds and launch your default music player after doing the grab; this will ignore the media button events during the wait and then re-enable them when the music app launches.
