Google Play Music For Chrome Download
Aline Lanosga
I am making a google chrome extension, where you press certain buttons, it starts, pauses, or restarts a song. I got it working but there is one problem. When I close the extension, the song stops! I need to know if there is a way around this. I have looked into background scripts and stuff, but I can't get them to work. Please help as this is one of my first google chrome extensions, and I would like to learn more. Thanks for any help you give me!
Now, the popup's code won't be able to directly access the audio_element of the background page; you could do a quick hack job with getBackgroundPage methods, but it's preferable to learn how Messaging works and use chrome.runtime.sendMessage from the popup to control the background.
The key Chrome OS app here is, ironically, one I had already installed for another purpose. Movian is a very capable UPNP/DLNA media player, which I had put on the Chromebit for playing video files from the DLNA server on the Synology box. This morning, it hit me: DLNA also serves audio and photos as well as video, so could Movian somehow play networked music from the Synology?

Chrome sometimes prevent pages from playing audio until user interacts with page. Solution would be to create some kind of splash/intro screen and call audio.play() when user clicks "start" leading to first actual passage of your story.
I have Spotify on my google chrome browser. Every time I open the page up, I get the same song to come up on the "now playing" bar. It won't play, and it won't change the song. I have tried logging out and logging back in, deleting cookies, reloading the page. Nothing will load, but if I open Spotify with a different browser, it will play music. Is there anything I can do to fix my chrome browser to play Spotify again?
Hey man I get the same deal at work. I restarted chrome, restarted Windows, deleted all caches/cookies/etc., cleared credentials, and logged in/out of Spotify. Nothing changed and it's still stuck on the current song where it won't let me play or click next/previous. It's working fine on my phone.
EDIT: 5m after posting this and it's working for me. I didn't change anything and it was after all of the above. I just happened to click on the tab and it started playing the next song after it was stuck once I clicked play. Odd.
Update: I have at least identified my issue. There is an issue with the Web Player not knowing whether it is the 'currently playing' device or not. I encountered the issue and was playing with the "play on device X" feature back and forth between my phone and Web Player. After a few failures of either the Android App or the Web Player bugging out, it eventually started playing as intended. I'm not sure if this applies to your issue, but it at least provided some background on what I was experiencing.
Nothing works. Ive powerwashed my coputer and went to the extremities of downloading linux instead of chrome and it doesnt work. when i cick play nothing happens, when i click a song, nothing happens, theres no other device its connected to, if i hit the play button the song thats "playing" 's time does not move and its been like this for the past hour. please help
I subscribed to amazon music and like the service. However, the web streaming does not work in the chrome browser. It does work in firefox. I use all current version, and tried it on two different ubuntu systems (kubuntu 17.04 and ubuntu 16.10).
This probably won't be a direct fix for you since chrome should come with PepperFlash on its own, but maybe it will help you find a solution (I would just have commented, but do not have enough reputation).
OK, I had this problem with Chrome on a windows machine. Amazon music would not play. Things looked like the song was continually loading, but never starting. I turned off ALL of my extensions on Chrome. (three dot icon on rt of menu bar, pick settings...three line icon on left w/ Settings...pick extensions. Then slide the little button for each extension to the left to turn it off but not remove it) Restart Chrome and try Amazon Prime Music again. Mine then worked fine. I turned the extensions back on until I found the one causing the problem. For me it was "Disable HTML5 autoplay".
I am having an issue getting any of my speakers to play music over my home network from my Chrome Cast audio devices from a 'voice' command. For instance, I can't say "hey Google, play Lauren Hill on Chrome Cast 1 (one of my Chrome Cast audio device names)". It used to say, "playing Lauren Hill from YouTube music, playing on Chrome Cast 1.
However, if you go into YouTube Music (my default), and select a song, go up to the network in the right corner, and Chrome Cast 1, Chrome Cast 2, and Chrome Cast Group are right there. And the music will play if I select them. It just won't do it by my voice any more. Can someone assist?
Zak, thank you for the reply. All devices are on one network, all devices are powered on, all Chromecast devices are on the same account, they are within 15 -20 feet of speakers and or modem. I've had my Google Home set up for five years now. The voice command function to play music on the chrome cast devices worked fine until a few months back. Home has done this intermittently in the past but never for more than a week. How could Home be compatible with that function for basically five years and then all of a sudden not be? Seriously speaking, I don't quite get that.
Thank you so much for the reply Princesss. I tried what you suggested but, unfortunately, the results is the same. "I don't see any Chromecast or Chromecast enabled tvs linked to your account. You can add devices in the Google Home app" is the speaker's response to me asking it to play a song on a Chromecast audio device. This used to work like 90% of the time. In the past when it didn't, you could just power down the Chromecast audio devices, and power them back up, and you'd be fine. That hasn't worked in quite a while.
This works for me on "Chrome 39.0.2171.95 m". Using ControlFocus, Static1 as suggested earlier did not work, but I don't know if that's a result of the newer Chrome version or something else.
Although this works without WinActivate, there are still some issues:
Doesn't work when minimized
The Chrome tab you want to ControlSend to must be the currently displayed tab in its window
Regardless of what window or program you're currently in, Chrome will bring the WindowTitleGoesHere window to the front of all other Chrome windows in Windows Explorer. If your currently active window isn't Chrome, you might not even notice, but if you want to be able to browse the internet in another Chrome window or tab, it'll be interrupted to send you to the WindowTitleGoesHere window.
The solution to the 3rd problem is to save the current window title and do the same process again:
I'm having issues chrome casting Poweramp. I can chrome cast Spotify, Radioplayer just fine. It also works with VLC for local files on the cellphone. While using Poweramp I have the 2 following issues :
@Mathieu Grenier I would add that Poweramp casting works differently vs Spotify or other streaming/network radio players, as Poweramp commands Chromecast to stream from your device, while Spotify and others command Chromecast to connect to some internet server. VLC can do both, local playback is similar to Poweramp, but Poweramp uses custom Chromecast player "page" which supports non-compressed/hi-res audio.
Regarding connection issue, your saying that it's normal for VLC to access my local files while Poweramp is unable to chrome cast at all? (No chromecast Icon)? Both my apps are opened, VLC sees the chrome cast device, Poweramp doesn't. This would be because of the way VLC chrome casts? If so wouldn't the firewall rules apply to VLC as well?
Just found something out. Tried to stream local media from my pc to chromecast without succes. I didn't notice I had my VPN's firewall active. I just closed it, now I can stream from my PC to my chromecast device. Will try to look if something in Android phone is acting as a firewall...
It's quite hard to diagnose based on other app, but is VLC plays your local phone media on Chromecast, then most probably phone to Chromecast connection is OK, and there is a problem with accessing from your Chromecast device.
So if I understand correctly the chromecast device must be able to access How can I make the device connect to that page? Is there a router parameter or else I can modify to change that? My computer and cellphone can access that website (I assume it' normal to only see Poweramp logo).
I analyzed about 2k entries related to Poweramp in the log and there are few errors:
02-16 19:38:32.463 10143 2428 28974 I CastService: [instance-46] [com.maxmpz.audioplayer] onConnectionFailed: status = Cast socket status code 2283
2283 is undocumented, google search finds just that (related to Cast too)
-and-Displays/Google-Hub-2-Trying-to-add-a-device-with-voice-match-but-app-reports-quot/m-p/196553
Most probably your Chromecast device can't connect to the phone. This is usually due to the network settings/firewall settings.
I did notice today that if I scroll down my android menu to find the casting option and start it, it makes the casting icon appear in Poweramp (because sometimes the casting icon doesn't appear immediately when I open Poweramp). I can then play music from Poweramp, but not from the casting icon in Poweramp, the android one... not sure if this affects quality somehow.
@maxmp I suspect he meant an option to avoid using cc.powerampapp.com and use whatever default Google method that VLC/etc use (which as I understand it, does display a Chromecast option when PA does not). I don't fully understand the technical requirements, but I assume that doing so would limit the ability to use things like uncompressed audio.
