Uninstall both Now Playing & Ambient Music Mod and reinstall Ambient Music Mod. If it continues, your device's firmware is blocking access via the normal permissions method and there's nothing I can do.

Like an idiot I forgot to also release the Now Playing build which is required to fix the crash on Android 14, so here you go

Fixed crash on Android 14 Beta 2

You may notice that there's a new Android System Intelligence build from Android 14 Beta 2 (U.0.beta.pixel7.520037477), which I've not updated to. This is intentional, since it hard-disables Now Playing History Summary. Guess Google didn't appreciate the leak!

I reinstalled now playing and ambient music mod, because the audio recordings were getting stuck. I now have the problem that the database is still there but I can not add or remove countries, the entries do not contain links to YouTube music or Spotify and it always shows that it is still downloading the database. I tried clearing the data of system apps, but the database doesn't get deleted. Can I do anything about that like deleting the database manually?

The "Global" database is built into the Now Playing app. There's nothing to delete.

Ok that is understandable, but I still can not get the app to download anything. I can delete all data select the countries again, press the update button under music database, wait 3 days and then still nothing happens.

If you've let it sit while charging and on WiFi after 3 days, you may wish to try using the option in Settings > Advanced > Poke Job Scheduler, which will force a download. You will need to enable verbose logging first for the option to appear.

I tried that but that still did not fix the issue. I dumped the logs regarding the ambient music app and the now playing app maybe that helps.

There's nothing useful in those logs unfortunately. If poking the job scheduler doesn't even unblock it, I don't have any more suggestions. The mod is reliant on the system to schedule the downloads, if that is not happening then nothing can be done.

is it possible to recognize device audio?

is it possible to recognize device audio?

Not currently no. I may add that as an option in the future, if I can bypass the Cast requirement since that would be very intrusive. Would need to be on device recognition only too.

I have everything installed on my S22 and i can click the musical note in the app to figure out what's playing, however with everything enabled, it still doesn't tell me what's playing in the background if the song changes.

I've searched the database and the songs are present, and clicking the note icon detects the song again but it won't do it in the background.
I've set it to 1 minute refresh and refresh on screen wake as well. Is there anything that could be preventing the functionality in the background? Thank you!

Thank you for such a quick reply! I had already put these settings to unrestricted, the website you linked me didn't have for my android version but I've attached screenshots of my settings. Please let me know if there is anything i could have missed?

I don't have a recent Samsung device to test so I can't provide any more info. It does work for others on Samsung devices though so it must be possible.

Hey thanks for this wonderfull app.

How can I see the song automatically on the lock screen?
By my side it search and shows the music only if I am click on the button "recognise", but is doesn't do it automatically.

After I recognise and start a new one, the old stay on the lockscreen.


Setting:
Recognition Period - Adaptive Recog.. is on
Period is on 1 Minute.
Trigger when Screen on is on.

I root my device and installed shizuku.


shall I install onDemand?

Edit:

This could be my solution

The old one will stay until either it was projected to end (so if you skip or pause the song it will not disappear immediately), or a new recognition finishes with any result - replacing it if successful or clearing it if not.

On Demand is not the same as regular recognitions and should not be used like you are suggesting, unless the track is genuinely not in the database. It sounds like you are getting failed on device recognitions, so either the song is not in the database or you should check your recognition config to make sure it's audible.

Thanks for this very fast response!

I have updatet google apps.
The Error is going away, but the automatically the music arent pop up on my lockscreen.

I start with cherri cherri lady or be my lover. but It doesn't show me up.


In my case the period doesn't work.


thank you for your time and nervous, god bless you


ps: is it possible to have everytime the button on the lockscreen to get the music song?

For Demond, I think I should going for this tutorial: https://github.com/KieronQuinn/AmbientMusicMod/wiki/Enabling-On-Demand ( update Google apps )

Because I get the following error, that I should update google apps.


the latest stable-version is: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-14-21-14-release/

At the bottom I see the newest version ends with .28 not with .29 ( like on the tutorial )

Or it has to be .29 ?

That is build .28 and is an APK, not a bundle. Read the guide, it tells you to use .29 and needs to be a bundle.

As for why music isn't recognising, it's probably because you don't have the database downloaded. Let it sit and download first, before messing with on demand.
