Pure Maps (Native map app)

You can use env variable NEMO_RESOURCE_CLASS_OVERRIDE and set it to some better value than navigator (that one is set in Pure Maps). Looks like if you set it to player, it may play as regular BT player.

See the following commit for details:

Implement more full resource policy features.

* Handle released by manager properly. Signal resourcesReleasedByManager is dif…ferent from signal handleResourcesLost and needs to be handled separately. Signal handleResourcesLost means some other client has acquired the resources, thus the resources are lost from us, but if the other client frees the resources, we will automatically get the resources back. With resourcesReleasedByManager we lose the resources, and resource manager releases them as well (same as if client would call release()), so only way to re-acquire resources in latter case is calling acquire() again. This distinction is useful for example in cases where user is listening to music with headphones connected and removes the headphones, then the music player shouldn't continue playback until user requests so. But if user is listening to music when phone call is received, it is convenient to resume the playback automatically after the call. * Implement availability changed. Availability changed is information whether resources the client is interested in are available (no higher priority resource classes have acquired the resources). * Implement missing resources released. Emit resourcesReleased signal when receiving corresponding signal from libresource-qt. * Add mechanism to change used resource class. Check for environment for special variable, and if the variable has proper data, use that as the resource class. Can be set with for example qputenv("NEMO_RESOURCE_CLASS_OVERRIDE", "game"); Change-Id: I8e92f40cc5c01b6b94f54c3fa0f7a07775e87df0 Done-with: Juho Hämäläinen <juho.hamalainen@tieto.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew den Exter <andrew.den.exter@qinetic.com.au>

Thanks for this hint, rinigus. I will try this.

Well, setting the env var with “export NEMO_RESOURCE_CLASS_OVERRIDE=player” (in terminal) didn’t help. PM sounds still played via internal speaker instead of bluetooth device…

Just to be sure - did you start Pure Maps from the same terminal shell?

bgk · 20 September 2023 20:24

Oops, no (I thought, env vars would work system-wide and started PM via launcher as usual).

When starting PM from terminal too, there’s a first success: audio plays via bluetooth!

But: If audio player was started before, it stops when PM plays route announcements and woh’t start again (as it did some time ago before the bug). If there’s a chance to get this behaviour back, this would be great…

Re audio player: not Pure Maps bug. If I remember correctly, that NEMO_RESOURCE_CLASS_OVERRIDE was done to avoid it. Not much we can do on Pure Maps side.
