My phone: "we paused your music/video because you clicked on another video/song/sound clip and we don't want you to get overwhelmed by multiple audio streams"

My computer: "HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER! LET'S PLAY 57.5 MOVIES AT THE SAME TIME WHILE WE LISTEN TO THE NATURAL SOUNDS OF TRASH COMPACTORS AND WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOUT SAWING YOUR COCK OFF, BITCH!"

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 months ago

disable auto play?

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nothing to do with auto play. My phone gets upset if I try to have more than one audio source open at a time, regardless of intent (I have to install an app and explicitly state which apps shouldn't pause media); meanwhile my PC doesn't give a fuck.

[-] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 months ago

I think they interpreted your 57.5 audio streams as a bad thing

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 15 points 4 months ago

Smh, kids these days...

They're just too weak. They think their tiktok videos with the subway surfers and family guy in the corner is overstimulating. Back in my day we simultaneously watched 57.5 movies and cock removal YouTube videos while listening to the soothing sounds of trash compactors (natural) and we liked it.

(To be clear, imo auto-pausing media is a bad thing. I shouldn't have to jump through 20 hoops if I want to listen to music and watch a YouTube video at the same time.)

Do not know how many times I've been driving down the road peacefully listening to an audiobook when my family or friends start a conversation in a group chat that pings every 3 to 10 seconds with new replies or notifications that someone "loved" a comment or some shit.

My phone: "The truth was evident all along. In fact, the killer was..." PING ... "evident all along..." PING... "evident all along. In fact,..." PING... "evident all along. In fact, the killer was right under..." PING...

Me: "For the love of God, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Phone: PING

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago

I found a fix for that and you should use it while driving anyway. Three words DO NOT DISTURB.

Every since I discovered that I use it while driving and no more interrupts to my audiobook, podcast, nor music.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

I want my phone to still be reachable. I want to receive texts still, as well as calls. I just don't want to be inundated with interrupting notifications while trying to listen to something when I can't easily manipulate my phone.

They could make an optional setting to where after a notification pings, your phone won't ping for subsequent notifications for some time frame after, like, say, 30 seconds. They could also let you set default notification preferences when your phone is connected to Bluetooth in a car or playing continuous audio streams like music, audiobooks and podcasts. Like if I'm in a vehicle with a screen that has popup notifications, maybe that's the only way I want those notifications while in the car. Or maybe while listening to audiobooks, music, or whatever, I may want the notifications to not pause the audio, but play concurrently, or only vibrate instead, or flash my phones flashlight, etc.

There should be other options between accept constant interruptions or cut off all contract from the outside world.

am I the only one here that leaves do not disturb on at all times?

[-] theonyltruemupf@feddit.de 7 points 4 months ago

I switch between do not disturb and vibrate. Sound notifications are absolutely insane.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 15 points 4 months ago

When I set my phone to vibration only, it still vibrates (obviously) but music or audiobooks aren't interrupted.

Android now allows you to set how many minutes need to be between two notifications of one App. Helps with such problems.

I also tend to just leave it on vibrate. That way I get notified, but my media keeps playing.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Do not disturb mode or driving mode may help

In WhatsApp, you can simply mute a group or a person. That is of course not very convenient when you are driving.

[-] interpolate@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

One time I had this happen while I was listening to one of the Emperor of Thorns books. The scene being described was of scrotal mutilation and my brother kept texting me during the reading.

I didn't want to hear about scrotal mutilation that many times.

Otherwise, excellent YA book series, audio or otherwise.

Android will let you make a custom notification for a group. I don't know about iOS. (So you could turn the notifications off just for the one group, but still receive texts from other people like them individually.)

also disabling the paste function when having repeated fields (like password or phone number confirmation fields). webdevs shouldn't have access to these apis and those who use them should feel very bad

IMO, the worst is pausing my media to play an ad in an unrelated application.

No matter what I try, I can't get my music to play over the ad. I can silence the ad, go to my player, hit play to resume the music, and as soon as I flip back to the app playing the ad, the music pauses. So I have three choices: uninstall this shit, listen to silence until the ad is over, or listen to the ad.

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Either I pay for the app to have it without ads or I remove it. Both my pc and my phone are ad free. I watch YouTube without ads thanks to the grayjay app, which includes sponsor block. I removed Reddit when Boost stopped working for it. I don't watch sports because of all the ads. I live an ad free life.

Turns out maybe boiling all our electronics into a single device maybe had consequences

[-] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Pro tip : if you're on an android phone, specifically a Samsung device, you can download an app called Sound Assistant by Good Lock Labs. Open it, and scroll down to the bottom setting called Multi sound and set it to the on position. That should disable the feature that pauses audio from a previous source when a new source appears, eg: music playing in the background gets paused by an autoplaying ad on a website

Once my Spotify didn't stop my metal song while I answered the phone, it was a mess

[-] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 months ago

At least with the config I mentioned, it pauses any audio for calls. I assume it was bugged for you

Beat me to it. You can also set the volume of apps individually too.

I'm glad newish android versions have a "allow sound from multiple sources" option, now nothing can stop anything I'm listening to but myself. Before this only Podcast Addict had an option to ignore media pause requests from other apps.

[-] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

I don't think it's stock android, is it?

[-] ColonelPanic@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

Technically no, but you can gain stock access to these permissions without root using AppOps and Shizuku to fine tune permissions.

Used it so I could listen to audio from a camera as a baby monitor whilst still being able to play YouTube videos.

I'm pretty sure its because mobile OSs are designed to only let one app access the audio at one time.

[-] JohnWorks@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago

Samsung has a workaround for this with their sound assistant app. It'll let you both control individual app audio and allow apps to play audio at the same time.

[-] Lojcs@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Android isn't and fairly confident ios isn't neither. Apps are made to behave this way because it's generally more convenient. They can ignore it or not trigger it for other apps just fine, like in the case of WhatsApp conversation tones or shutter tones

[-] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

You may be right. However I think it might also be how most apps are written.

Disclaimer: I am no audio expert nor am I knowledgable enough in mobile OSs to confirm it but I did manage to build myself a ROM for my unsupported phone which led me to see a lot of things under the hood.

The way Android (AOSP) is made, and Im sure the same is true for iOS, easily accessible APIs are made available for devs to implement them without thinking much about how the OS on your phone will handle it. Multiple audio streams are definitely a thing on mobile OSs, for example if I want a Youtube video playing along side a phone call and music, I can. It's just not practical if you're an attention grabber company to let other audio streams interrupt the very important audio that they want you to listen to.

Anyway all in all, you're right that mobile OSs are designed to only let one app access the audio channel because Google wants to keep you on Youtube, all their partners paying for their apps to get on Android want the same thing and I can imagine the same is done on iOS and other manufacturer's OSs.

Average iPhone user

[-] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 months ago

True. It’s a super annoying iOS “feature”

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's not really a feature but a side effect of having two audio channels, one is completely dependent on the ringer being on, and the other may only have one app playing on it.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Blame Apple for letting the devs do it, blame the devs for not setting it up the other way around.

Wait, blame Apple for not giving users overrides in settings - I think that’s it. Let devs try to choose the best approach for their app with available options:

Then give users veto power.

(YouTube can keep pausing my music when I start to play a video, for example… 97% of the time that is, I’d very occasionally veto.)

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Fuck that, I'm the one in control, I decide when my music stops. When an app does this, it is removed.

I also hate it when an app on my pc thinks it needs to be pulled up in front of the screens I'm working in. I haven't found a way to fix this yet. When you need my attention, send me a notification instead of annexing my entire screen.

When I open Kodi and click on another screen right after clicking it's icon, it opens in the background so it can scan for new media while I finish what I was doing. Like it's supposed to. I click on it whenever I want the screen to be on top.

I hate it when something takes control over something I own. Which is why I'm leaving windows. Can't wait for proper Linux phones. Fuck Microsoft, fuck Google. And no, not fuck Apple, sadomasochists need a place to buy their products too.
