I have paired my Android phone with Ubuntu 18.04.1 and playing music on phone(the a2dp source). I can hear music on Ubuntu(the a2dp sink), send commands to phone (such as Play/Pause/Next etc) using dbus and media api of BlueZ and also get track info ( Title, Duration, track Position, etc.)



The problem:If I am playing a song of duration say 5min currently at 2:10, dbus query gives me correct Position of around 130000ms, but if I manually change the position on phone to say suppose 2:30, dbus query still shows time of around 130-140k ms which means it is calculating the position on its own based on last sync, and unaware of any changes made from phone. However, if I pause and play again, the position is synced again and shows correct position.



Is there a way to force BlueZ to resync position say every 0.5 sec? Or any other way this can be tackled?

(On a side note: I checked on Windows 10 and there the position is correctly synced, so there's got to be a way, it uses the same a2dp protocol)



dbus query:



dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0/dev_44_C3_46_7B_2D_C7/player0 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:"org.bluez.MediaPlayer1" string:"Position"
