Summary0013887: 'Play [Title] on MediaMonkey' fails
DescriptionIn build 660 in some cases:
Asking app to "Play [Title] on MediaMonkey" does not work. The app simply mutes the current track and the media scrubber continues moving and loading.

To replicate:
1 Play a track in MediaMonkey on Android Auto
1.5 Optional step: Pause
2 Issue a voice command to play another track
--> Playback of the current track stops, but playback of the new track doesn't begin
3 Press play/pause
--> the track from step 1 doesn't resume playback. In order to resume playback, a playlist must be started.

Note: If MediaMonkey isn't playing, then playback of a new track via voice controls works fine.
TagsNo tags attached.

Further testing shows that the problem is not exactly as was previously described. The issue actually occurs when attempting to play content that Google Voice can't find. i.e.

1 Play a playlist in MediaMonkey on Android Auto
2 Optional step: Pause
3 Issue a voice command to 'Play [TITLE] in MediaMonkey', where TITLE is a track that MMA can't find
--> Google Voice indicates 'Playing [TITLE]' -- even though the track cannot be found, but the screen continues to show the Title from Step 1
4 Press Play/Pause to resume playback of the Title from Step 1
--> the seekbar moves, but no sound is output

So the fixes needed are:
1) At step 3, if the track can't be found, then the voice should indicate either:
a) Can't find [TITLE]. -- playback should remain paused.
b) Playing [CLOSEST MATCH TO TITLE THAT EXISTS].
Note: I think that Option a) makes more sense than Option b) (btw, keep in mind that Google voice tries to match both Artists and Titles).

2) If due to limitations in the functionality of Google voice search, fix 1) is not possible, then at step 4, playback should resume when the user presses the play/pause button.

Fixed in this way:
When track is not found, then voice say "No track /query/ found" (if voice is available, other way just toast message display)
Then user can continue in playback, by play/pause button or by voice command "Ok google play/resume".

Fixed in build 1.3.0.663
