Emby on Android Auto not staying in memory

[Meijinhada 4]

I've updated to the recent beta for Emby, 3.3.32, and now I'm noticing that it won't stay in memory with Android Auto.  Before, I could expect to turn my car on and have it immediately resume playing whatever I had been listening to previous.  Now it comes up with a "network error" and I have to reselect my playlist or genre.  And it's definitely connected, because Emby itself will work fine; it just won't resume.  (Though side note, I've noticed that error happen whenever I try to re-mix a playlist while it's playing in Android Auto; "network error," have to try it again, works at that point. Every. Single. Time.)

 

I'm still trying to get a log; I can't download it from the app, but every time I try to find the actual file, the app I use keeps re asking for permissions.

Okay, finally got a log.

Hi, thanks for the log. There is an issue with this that we've identified and have resolved for the next Emby android app update. Thanks.

Any updates on this?  I noticed if I open a playlist, and tell it to play random.  If I get out of the vehicle and come back in it is no longer in random mode.

Thanks guys!

Mine is mostly working once I updated from the Emby website directly with an apk; Google Play Store was behind.  But it will lose my playlist sometimes still after I shut the car down, and trying to load another random mix if one is playing will cause an error and I'll need to randomly select again.

Also, not that I think it's related to this, I'm happy I can select a genre now through the AA screen,  but it claims it can't find any files.  It's probably because the genre I like to play is huge, but still.

Hi, yes the next update to the Emby android app will improve support for remembering the android auto play queue.
