Carplay needs offline support

[LifeIsStrange 15]

Hello,

I'm an Emby Premiere user since multiple years and love it.

When I switched to an iPhone and started using Carplay, I was so happy to see Emby supports it.

But when I found out it does not work with the files downloaded to my phone, I was honestly shocked. Most apps which offer music content allow offline downloads to be working with Carplay. It's even more strange to me, since Carplay is an advertised feature working with Emby Premiere only.

Please add offline media support, at least for music, to Carplay. It's a very important feature to many I guess and I think it's missing way too long.

I know this is specified for Android Auto, but it is the same thing and we would be doing this at the same time for both implementations.

I know everyone has their own priorities and wishlists, but offline CarPlay is by far at the top of my family's feature wishlist. We've put a lot of work into configuring Emby and creating our collections and playlists, but not being able to use Emby in the car is really disappointing.

Thanks for all your work on Emby!
