External Access allows other apps, such as Tasker, to interact with Ambient Music Mod.

Available options:

  • Enable Now Playing
  • Disable Now Playing
  • Toggle Now Playing Enabled/Disabled
  • Start an On Device Recognition
  • Start an Online Recognition (if available)

Please note: Enabling External Access allows any app to interact with Ambient Music Mod, not just the one you are intending to use. Unless absolutely necessary, keep the Access Token option enabled to prevent misuse from apps you have not set up yourself.

External Access settings are not included in backups, you must re-set the values yourself after restoring a backup.

On this page, examples will be shown for Tasker with the Access Token option enabled. For other apps, use the same "action" and "extra" key of token, with the value of your access token; without the Access Token option enabled, simply omit the extra. Click an image to expand it.
