v3.5.7 under AA - Playlists disappearing, etc
Posted: 31 Oct 2024 01:00
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.
