Rocket Player: Sending Intent

[digitalstone]

I'm using Rocket Player as my music player for years now.
Now i would like to send commands to it from Automagic.

The action "Control Audio Player" got me there... sort of.
Play/pause works for example.
But when sending a "Next" it either (with or without clarifying a specific app):
- Raises the media volume by 1 (Control type: Media Button)
- Does nothing

Multiple searches on "Rocket Player intent receiving" didn't got me close to an answer.
I came close with the action "Start Activity", but no sigar.

Does anyone have experience with this?

I don't use that player. But If it doesn't react to standard media event, then probably Control UI is the last resort. Switch back to the app and use CUI to press the next button (or any other button).

I'm sorry, i did not tell that it's going to be send with the Mi Band 2.
It's for during outside and work, when my phone is inside my pocket and need to be quick.
So my screen will be off and CUI isn't an option.

No matter, i'll see what i can do
Thanks anyway Desmanto

Oh, but still possible though. If you afraid to touch the screen while you turn it on during the flow execution, you can overlay the widget to cover the whole screen, working as kind of protector. Control UI only works on the element beneath it, it won't work at widget. So basically : turn on screen > overlay the widget with action > go to the app > use CUI to press next > turn off screen again. You might want to use proximity sensor as the check, to hide the widget when you remove it from the pocket. So you won't get locked out by the widget.

But honestly it is too hassle, better use other audio player app which support the media event properly.

I "sort of" had this idea in my mind but then i thought:

Switching to another app that'll do the trick is the way to go then i believe.
I love Rocket Player because it's no hassle with anything.
But, like Apple products, it's closed as a Swedish bank account.

I'll have to explore and switch
