v3.5.7 under AA - Playlists disappearing, etc

[Mayhem71]

I have a couple of issues in v3.5.7 under Android Auto:

1. When driving earlier tonight, I had a playlist queued up (auto play on reconnect) and when skipping a song using my steering wheel controls, it would select the next song via shuffle and cycle through additional songs while playing the first few seconds of the song skip originally selected. Then it would just stop. I tried force-closing the app after disconnecting the USB cable and clearing cache. When that didn't work, I restarted the phone. It worked briefly, then repeated the behavior.

2. When I got home, I went to enable logging to see if I could maybe gather something useful. While the issue above wouldn't happen while parked in my driveway, I did notice that my playlists completely disappeared. If I disconnect my phone and look at playlists in the app, they're all there. Plugging the phone back in did show them until AA went into "split screen" where the media was pushed to one side while maps was pushed to the other. Clicking the resized VLC window popped it to full screen, then showed nothing under playlists. I was able to repeat this a couple of times before I gave up in frustration.

This is on a Pixel 6 Pro running Android 15 (no root) build AP3A.241005.015 and AA is v13.1.644204-release.

This happened again yesterday and I managed to dump the logcat. It's too large to paste in here and I don't see a way to attach it as a file.

This time the playlists didn't disappear but the playback failed with the song skipping again.

I also noticed that when it started behaving after exiting the car and returning later that the shuffle and repeat buttons were replaced with 10-second skip buttons.

I don't have an explanation for the playlist and song skip issues. The shuffle/repeat button appearance is a known problem caused by old AA detection logic in 3.5.7. The behavior is improved in the 3.6.0 beta releases.

I really wish I could include the logcat. Maybe it would make sense.

Looking at just one song shows it trying to open a song, removing a bunch of modules, saying something about no access_demux_modules, running through a bunch of .lua, not finding a stream directory, creating a stream and then moving on to the next song. 70+ lines of stuff like this repeating per song as it chews through them.
