e2zippo 24 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 So I've been looking for an alternative to Google Play Music since it's shutting down in December, and Youtube Music is completely useless! And since I use Emby for my movies and shows I thought I'd add my music there as well. My main usage with music in Emby will be through Android Auto though and I just can't get it to work there. Whenever I go to Emby in AA and pick my server it just keeps spinning, I never get in, If i disconnect AA and just run Emby as usual it works fine. Any ideas?
Solution Luke 40153 Posted October 8, 2020 Solution Posted October 8, 2020 Hi, this should be resolved for the next update to the app. thanks. 2
e2zippo 24 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Posted October 12, 2020 I'll give it a go tomorrow, I saw the latest update contained some AA fixes!

Just tried it again and it's still the same, just spinning when I try to connect to my server. It works fine outside of AA.

Luke 40153 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Everything that is requested in that link. Thanks.

I haven't had the time to look at this but I'd thought I'd give it a go this weekend. How would I go about to collect the proper logs? Connect my phone to my car, start up Emby in AA and try to connect, then download the embyserver.log?
Luke 40153 Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Emby for Android 3.1.59 has been released with Android Auto improvements. Thanks everyone.

What AA improvements were there please, as there's nothing in the release notes in the app in the Play Store relating specifically to AA ? Thanks.
Luke 40153 Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 It does say Various Android Auto Fixes. We ran out of allowed space for release notes so that was the most I was able to add, but it includes a number of fixes for issues reported over the last few months, ranging from content not showing up, to things like play all/shuffle not working, etc.
e2zippo 24 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Ok, so I've been doing some test now, and things seem to "semi work". Emby is no longer stuck on just loading when going through AA, instead it just says "No Items". BUT, it works if I open Emby on the phone, then I can browse and play in AA as well, if I don't, it doesn't work. And another thing I noticed is that I can see the Trailers category, that one shouldn't be visible here right? Edit: tried some more, and it seems like Emby causes Android Auto to hang, first it slows down, and then there's no touch response. I'll try and recreate it and get the logs.

Tom83 3 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 Got to use emby on android auto for the first time yesterday. My music is nearly all high quality FLAC files, but the cell data speeds are not high quality (lte but on the slow side with frequent dead spots). Emby would stop streaming music, abruptly, and then start again a minute or so later. It happens repeatedly. Is there any way to have emby transcode my FLAC to mp3 on the fly and increase the buffer size so this is less of an issue?

Hi there, we already do this. Have you explored the playback options in the app to set the music internet streaming quality?
Tom83 3 Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) I tried to do it server side the way I've done with video codecs. I'll try again (clientside this time) next time I take it for a trip. Thanks! Edited November 24, 2020 by Tom83
Luke 40153 Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Yes these are client-side options. Let us know how you get on. Thanks.
Tom83 3 Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Welp, I still haven't managed to find any audio streaming quality, nitrate, or buffer settings clientside either? Is it in the android auto emby settings? Is it in the regular android app emby settings? I've searched both without luck. Is it somewhere else?

Are you still seeing the stopping?
