Routing sound from video through bluetooth headset/headphones, help

Looking to route the sound coming from video files through bluetooth, i have sound from music going through just fine, but i can have it playing music then open a video file in the same program and it'll stop playing through the headphones and play through the speaker, the program i use doesn't matter, does this for everything, i've searched the forums and just the internet in general on a way to get this working and all i can find it things on how to route music, does anyone know a way to get this working? thank you
Been awhile, does anyone have any ideas on this?
Just use TCPMP (freeware media player). I'm watching Red Dwarf with it and the audio's going right to my bluetooth headphones. You'll want to get the codec pack so it'll be able to play many more formats than it already can.
I had problems with skipping when watching videos in tcpmp while using a2dp. I tried coreplayer, and it worked perfectly - well worth splashing out for!
I'll give it a try tonight, not sure if i tried that one yet or not, thanks for the suggestion
Yeah same situation, i have no idea why why it refuses to run sound from video through bluetooth, when music will work fine
did you do anything special to get this working, or was it just working already?
I didnt do anything special. I'm using sony DR-BT30Q headphones, and I just paired them, press play on the headphones to activate the a2dp service, and the headphone symbol appears on the screen. Its all operational from that point.

Nuts, what happens on mine is i'll set it up to play through the headphones, sometimes play a song or something to verify the sound is going through the headphones, then i'll load up a video, and there will be a click in my headphones and then sound starts coming through the phone speaker, and for everything until i pair them up again.
maybe i need to get some new headphones or something!
Is it possible its just a problem with my rom?
i use pdacorner version..6 i think due to my crazy battery drain problems with any newer ones than that, maybe i'll try swapping out a new rom and see if it helps at all, honestly have never tried it.
I have never had any problem on any rom, and have tried about 5 or 6 over the last year. At the moment I am very happy with crc's stable roms, and have no a2dp problems with it.

Crackling sound when playing audio from two programs over Bluetooth A2DP

Hello all,
I have noticed that when my HD2 is streaming audio to my car stereo over A2DP, if more than one program produces audio, then I get this horrible crackling sound as long as both programs are playing audio. When one program streams audio, the quality is fine. This does not occur when connecting my stereo to the headphone jack on the phone. Also, when streaming over bluetooth, the HD2 does not mix multiple audio sources, but instead stops the existing one and plays the new one only, reverting back to the existing audio when the new one has finished playing. This does not happen when using the headphone jack.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

You are not alone
Hi to all,
My HD2 is having the same problem.
Whilst playing music in the car over a bluetooth Jabra 3010 everything is fine till the voice of the navi is coming up. Again, every audio source it self and alone sounds nice but when they play at the same time...
I thought that the HD2 should fade between the sources instead of mixing them.
I am wondering that no other is coming up with this problem. Is no other using the HD2 the same way?
Thanks
Gabriel

[Q] music via bluetooth problem

Greetings I try playing music via the Itech bluetooth capable headphone, (not headset) I have successfully paired it and all, i also had set it to stereo mode, here comes the problem, when i try to play via the player all i would hear is the start of the music maybe for 1.5 seconds then... nothing, music continues to play on the phone but there is no sound coming from the phone nor the headphones. I already tried different ROMS but to no avail same result so i am thinking it is not the ROMS I tried the tomal and lucathebig ROMS, I am stuck i don't know how I could do this help please? thanks.
I am quite sure that my bluetooth is not broken since I could pair with the pc and also the headphones
ok, I tried to switch off the bluetooth headphones while the music was playing and the music continues to play on the uni's speakers, so it means that the music is playing only it is not streaming to the headphones. Any help or idea will be appreciated

Audio issues when streaming from PC to Nexus

So I have been spending several hours trying to figure out how to stream videos from my Windows 7 PC to my nexus 7
Currently I stream videos to my PS3 using WMP and everything works perfect no issues at all.
I have been trying to find the perfect app to do this.
I first tried http://www.aviatheapp.com/index.html
While it connects to my PC and plays the video perfectly fine no audio is ever played, these are mpg files. I tried about 5 differnt ones and all the same.
So then I tried BubbleUPnP, along with an external player like BS Player or Dice and it works I can get audio and it plays video, but for some odd reason the audio is super low out of the speakers even at max, you can barely hear it. If I plug in headphones audio seems to be fine.
I also tried Plex Media Center/Server and I get the same thing.
Now if I play a video that is stored locally on my sdcard in any player the video is perfect out of the speakers.
I am really confused and wondering what do you guys do and do you have audio problems?

[Q] Bluetooth and video?

I use headphones or a Sound-freq speaker when watching movies and videos.When using BS player the video and sound do not sync up.If using the gallery player everything syncs up well on both headphones and speakers..Is there a way to sync up the bs player as well?It handles more formats and I like the extra volume and brightness controls on it. thanks

i don't know what BS player is, but this is a common issues across multiple applications. it has to do with BT hardware, the application, BT priority and sound quality.
I have watched several streaming video types using my Potato Tunelink BT adapter. Netflix is by far the worst offender. Off by an entire half-second. Hulu streams great, YouTube has a slight delay. Crackle is about a split off.
If you want quality audio, use the audio port.
BTW, this is true of ANY device. My DROID3/4 both exhibited the same qualities. I thought it was a limitation of the phone. Faster devices do decrease latency, but if the latency exists, it's built into the application.
Maybe I could have been more clear on what I was asking. sorry
I know the problem is there but the BSplayer can be adjusted for audio offset to compensate for the lag.I just can't seem to find out how to do so.The gallery player seems to do it automatically because it always works whether playing files on the device or streaming from my computer or elsewhere. I would like someone to tell me how to adjust this in the BSplayer app. thanks
