Stop Playback when car turned off

Bananarama

Thanks for this very detailed explanation. I never tried sleep mode as I'm scared it'd drain my battery. The delayed powered down would be exactly what I need I guess. I'll look into that, same for the Dudu Tasks, maybe I was just missing the settings / tasks possibilities DUDUOS has.

When I first switched to an android radio, I had my doubts with the sleep mode with the same concerns of draining the battery, it took me half a year to pluck up the courage 😂

But I thought the OEM, when I disconnect the battery, it takes forever to turn on (loading for the first time), then it clicked, it must have a sleep mode as all other times it’s instant, so it eased my mind to try it with an android.

I have been using sleep for about 4-5 months now, no issues whatsoever with the battery.

I use the car daily so that helps, if you go long periods without using the car, then for those times I would say switch it over to full shut down

Apparently there is a failsafe that if the voltage drops below a certain level, the headunit would automatically shutdown from sleep to prevent draining the battery.

Users have measured the voltage taken whilst in sleep and it’s very minimal, not enough to drain the battery unless you don’t drive it for about 3-4 weeks

Good to know, I drive every other day, so it shouldnt be a problem, of course a device booting up quicker is always a good thing. But it seems like there is always so kind of compromise to make. Now my beautifully handcrafted boot logo doesn't show up any more, also the Dudu task "autoplay music with device boot" doesn't work. On top of that I notice some strange behavior (only one bar of signal strength after wakeup) with sim connectivity. That again messes with tidals homepage. I do autoconnect to my pihole though. It's kind of a mess but I'm generally OK with that, as everything is kind of beta at the moment and I knew that beforehand.

I'm now of course even more curious where to find the "Ignition on/off" trigger for dudu tasks, I just can't find it. Could you maybe provide a screenshot? Is it car/CAN specific? @DUDU-Meng (I'm on 3.5 btw, not using telegram so not able to join beta :/)

You can find the DUDU tasks as listed in one of my previous posts, I’ve indicated exactly where they are located.

Here’s an image to further back that up.

If you are using the beta firmwares, the latest 3.6 revamps the settings menu, if true, you need to go to ‘More Features’ section and locate the tasks sub menu.

If you cannot locate this menu, are you using the Laucher? If so I cannot help you any further.

If your using the full OS, then it could be that you have Novice Mode activated, to enable Expert mode and make a lot more features available to you, go to:

Settings | Other | Mode

Change it to expert

I've used the tasks menu already but I just can't find that trigger, my UI is German though, so might be a translation issue, I'll look into it again, but I guess I'm using it already (it's called "start on boot" translated back to english) which is quite misleading.

I guess it's only meant for "Ignition on" so I would still need one for ignition off. I'm using latest Dudu7 12/256 3.5 with expert mode enabled

Hi, I have just checked and for German it’s labelled as

Fahrzeug Zündung

For the ignition off trigger, it appears it’s labelled

Fahrzeug abgewürgt

(Vehicle Stalled in English)

The translation doesn’t appear to be the best, however I have that set on mine for when I cut power to the ignition, my music pauses with no issues.

Hope this helps

Auto Task Vehicle Ignition That's the ACC energized, not the actual engine ignition.

Bananarama

I've added "ignition on" task to autoplay media. That works, the "car stalling" task sadly doesn't. Tested pause with tidal, native media app, native radio app and additionally "decrease volume" all in normal and minimal mode with different delay, nothing happens.

Sorry to hear, I’m not sure what else to suggest, for me this setup works, I however use Spotify and have that set as my main music app.

Can I assume you need the timed delay due to start/stop, so that if you stop at traffic lights, your headunit doesn’t reboot every time?

If so, I know there is a toggle somewhere in the CANBUS settings area which is labelled start/stop.

I know you mentioned there is no canbus support, but you never know, it may do something if you haven’t seen it.

I have no idea what this does as I don’t have a start/stop vehicle, but assuming due to the title, it may be something that may help?

Just to rule it out, maybe see what happens when enabled with no delayed shutdown/sleep? See if the headunit remains on, if so, you can keep the shut down/sleep without delay thus turning off the music as soon as the power is killed

Bananarama

I think it's very much an edge case. The timed delay is just for reasons I wrote down in one of my first post, not because of start/stop at traffic lights (I don't have the functionality, just wanted to point out, that I don't have a key to put my car in "ignition" instead of "off", if I park it's straight off). I'll look into the CANBus settings, I really can't understand why the "stalling car" task isn't working.

Did you find a fix yet? I've done the same, tried wifi disconnected, wifi off, network disconnect, screen off, vehicle stall, all with various delays, but it has paused only a couple times. I've also tested the pause function by triggering it manually and it works. It seems that Spotify solves these issues by itself as I haven't had to deal with this until switching to YT Music.

Bananarama

Sadly no. I want to look into this again with 3.6e though
