I've had a similar problem a few weeks ago (Pandora unpausing when I didn't ask it to), but it didn't happen as often as others commented above. However, I think it stopped on its own but with with a new problem in its place. When I have Pandora closed, a notification saying, "Unknown by Unknown" pops up on my notification screen and I cannot get rid of it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and it still persists. How may I solve both of these problems should the both continue?
Following a thorough review by our engineering team, we've determined this behavior is not exclusive to the Pandora app and is instead dictated by the Android operating system as of Android 13, part of an effort by Google to allow users to resume playback more easily from their most-used media services.

I looked in both my phone and computer for the community tab, and it looks like I cannot find a place to attach an image to show a screenshot. Are you sure I could not email the screenshot and phone info? I feel more comfortable sending the phone info there, not in the public place.
I'd like to chime in to say I'm experiencing the same problem. Android phone, launch from car already disabled, persistent notification from Pandora saying Unknown song by unknown artist over a black background. If I open Pandora to play music, the notification displays the correct information, and then it goes away once I close Pandora. Two or three seconds later, the notification comes back, with the Unknown message.
I usually am using cellular data. I can try using just Wifi to see if it fixes itself. The only pattern I am seeing is when the app is closed, the notification pops up and I'm unable to remove it without using Pandora again.
The app isn't running as it is. It's part of the background running apps. Unless you have developer settings enabled you can't stop pandora from using background resources. It does so when Bluetooth or wifi is enabled. This is done in order to quickly communicate with known wifi and Bluetooth accessories. That notification is part of background services to allow you to quickly open the app and immediately connect to accessories. Removing the notification does nothing to background services. As of yet, I've noticed no change in battery, with or without the notification.
I've been having the same problem for weeks now and it is incredibly annoying. However, I have managed to find a temporary fix. Whenever you exit the Pandora app and the notification pops up, go into the app's settings and press the "force stop" button. It gets rid of the notification for me, but I have to do it every time I exit Pandora, hence it being only a temporary fix. At the very least it stops me from going crazy because of the constant notification. Hope this helps a little bit!
My screenshot looks exactly like Lost-In-Sedona's on the bottom. To cope until it gets fixed, I have the notification minimized. It's not big anymore and not a pop up on the top part of my screen where notification icons would be but it's still there in the notification screen. Has someone been able to recieve my android info from the email? As I had mentioned previously, they directed me back to here.

Can someone recommend an Android music player that recognizes MP3Tag's Genre multi-tag format? For example: If an album that has a Genre tag like 'Classical\Opera' I want the album to show up in the Classical Genre list and the Opera Genre list.
Not, not really. You probably find this character in a column of the files list.
Have a look at the definition for "value" and you will probably see something
$meta_sep(genre,\\)
which means that the \\ are defined as separating characters but you could just as well take any other character. Foobar, I think, takes the semicolon as separator
The point I try to make: as there as so few players that actually the real multi-value fields, there are some players that interpret special characters in a single-value field as separator and display the items separated like that as individual items.
I know that e.g. WMP use the semicolon in ARTIST, GENRE, ALBUMARTIST and COMPOSER to create individual entries.
E.g. Stock; Aitken; Waterman would show an entry under A for Aitken, one under S for Stock and one under W for Waterman.
And all this without a multi-value field.
So it could be that there are other players around that do it like that.
And whatever the implementation would be: MP3tag can help you to set the right format.
In any case, I've been using '\\' (2 backslashes) in MP3Tag to separate GENREs, and Foobar2000 is splitting them correctly. Both are in their default/factory configurations and they work together properly, so I'm good! Thanks for clarifying.

As you can see, Spotify is not on the list. If those apps can make it to the list, so can Spotify. Would be really great to see official integration with Android in this regard, especially because such integration helps a lot when connecting the phone with the car!
I have Android 7.1.2 and I couldn't find the default music player. I found a setting in the Google Now open it and go to the Burger Settings and again settings and you will see default music player Spotify you will need to link the account. it works with Google voice or Google assistant..
What you said is good, but does not address this solution. This is only useful when music is started via Google Service (such as the Google Home or Google Assistant). Would be a good idea in my opinion to have direct support at OS level too.
I am using Unity version 2017.2.0f3, and I am using Unity's built in Video Player to play videos on Android. The videos I am using are mp4/h264 and are relatively small in size(under 10mb). The videos do play but they are not playing back smooth in the slightest. It hangs in the beginning, plays smooth for maybe 2 seconds, then gets choppy again. Made the same build for PC and ran perfectly. Any ideas?
Hi,
There was a known issue with android video player multithreaded rendering, it is fixed in 2017.2.0p3. Try disabling multithreaded rendering in the player settings and see if that makes video playback smooth. If it does not make it better I'll need your video file to check it.
Thanks for reply, did some extensive testing with a new version of Unity. I couldn't find 2017.2.0p3 but did find 2017.2.0p1 from this link ( -releases). That did seem to make a big difference. I disabled multithreaded and sure enough the videos played back very smoothly. On oreo the videos played back fine over a long period of time with no slow downs, but on the lolipop device the videos started off fine but got progressively slower over time. Regardless this was a big help so thank you.
2017.2.0p3 should be released around 22-24 of November.
Glad this worked out for you. Without any additional knowledge of your scene and video I can't really tell what could be wrong on lolipop device. Best guess it's a lower performance device and it might start overheating overtime reducing framerate.

This may help someone, I also have the same problem with building standalone, it's working on computeur but laggy on Microsoft Surface.
The solution for me is change graphics APIs for windows and take first OpenGLES2.

The option "multi-threaded rendering " is not existed in PlayerSetting , i can not find it.
I change GraphicsApi to OpenGLCore/OpenGLES2/OpenGLES3, still no improvement for the video playback, laggy and choppy.
This worked for me. Disabling multithreaded rendering within Unity 2022.2.21. I created a function to disable the main Game Object with Terrain and other game objects, when you play a video, however it was still choppy on Android 13 S21 Ultra. Nothing was running except for the video player and a 50 MB video locally on the device.
I tried different Video formats, bit rate, h264, h265, and nothing was working. As soon as I disabled Multithreading in Project Settings for Android build, The choppiness went away. Videos play fine now.
Even with terrain and other objects enabled and multithreaded disabled, it is choppy. So I have the script disable everything when a video plays and now with multithreaded disabled, at least the video plays normal now.
