Really satisfying music!
Has anyone got any tips on starting Spotify and having it play/resume from the last playlist?

I managed to get the app to open but cannot get it to unpause my last played song using simulated media controls.

Have you installed the media utilities plug in? It makes this super easy. The task becomes load spotify, wait 5 seconds, smart play from media utilities and it works. I have this set to trigger whenever I plug in headphones.

That did the trick, thanks.

I have a task which shows a scene after plugging in headphones.

Since updating to 5.1, showing a scene when the screen is off results in a black screen with only the soft buttons showing. It works completely fine if the phone is already unlocked when I trigger the task.

The only keyguard I use is 'Swipe' as in; just swipe up to unlock the phone. I've tried using Secure Settings to disable the keyguard - but it doesn't seem to work.

I've seen a few other people on the web experiencing different versions of this (one guy was trying to launch something using an NFC tag while his screen was off) but no solutions.

Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT: Got the answer from Reddit, for anyone else wondering:

quote:

1. Secure Settings: Wake Device
2a. If you are rooted
Run Shell: input swipe 550 1340 500 500
Basically, constant X, with a low to high Y value. Values might need to be changed for your device. Those values are configured for a Nexus 5.
2b. if you are not rooted
AutoInput: Click on the Tasker Persistent notification.
AutoInput: Click on the Tasker Persistent notification (again)
Go Home (to exit out of Tasker)
