Summary0012500: 'OK Google' doesn't work for tracks that are in Google Music
DescriptionAs described in bug 0011630 , many tracks that are synced with MMA don't appear in Google Music (atm 900/1000 don't appear). 'OK Google' seems to work correctly for all of those 900 tracks.

However, for tracks that appear in Google Music, 'OK Google Play Artist x' doesn't work. It fails in either of the following ways:

1) The artist in question will open in Google Play despite the fact that MMA has been configured as the associated application.

2) MMA will open, and show a track playing but the Track has no metadata, no sound, and 1 appears in yellow as the # tracks in the playlist (rather than 1/1) (even though the matching track exists in MMA).

e.g. 'I want to listen to Samantha Fox' results in this behavior (though MMA is arguably doing me a favor by not playing it ;-) ). Here's a debug log illustrating this: K5ZHP1543M

Perhaps the log will help understand what's going on, but considering that (as described at 0012102) other apps are experiencing the same issues (I've confirmed this as well with Player Pro), the entire 'OK Google' functionality may be broken with respect to 3rd party players and it may not be resolvable within MMA.

The problem is that you are
searching "Samantha Fox"
but in your database is "Samatha Fox" (without letter "n"),
so this normal behaviour when there are no items found.

Maybe we can show info dialog with message "no result" and close MMA on press "Ok"?

Re. item 2) OK: "Can't find (<attribute>) 'xx'".

The more important issue, though, is item 1). When I corrected the Artist name from Samatha Fox --> Samantha Fox, and then tried:
'OK Google. I want to listen to Samantha Fox'
-->
Error 2) no longer occurred. Instead Google Music opens and plays the track (i.e. MediaMonkey no longer even opens)!

So unless we're able to resolve item 1, this functionality will be pretty much useless.

Edit: to add further confusion to this. I tested this functionality on a Nexus 7 running Lollipop, and it doesn't exhibit the buggy behavior described above--i.e. even if a track appears in Google Music, OK Google functionality usually works. So it may be that Google Search is buggy on Kitkat, though that would be strange since it is implemented independently of the OS.

About Default voice search media player, It seems like OS issue (Kitkat 4.4 version).
2) dialog added to build 1.1.0.369
