Carplay - There was a problem loading this content

hi, can you please try the latest update to Emby for iOS and let us know how things compare? Thanks !

I've tried the latest iOS Carplay after not using it for some time. It does seem to start up much faster, but I'm also on a new phone since last time I tried it, so some of the perceived responsiveness may be hardware related. It did not have a problem connecting to content, but I did not experience that issue much in the past... just sloooow load times.

That said, in the car I listen mostly to playlists and there is no way I can find to shuffle playlists through emby Carplay. Shuffle is not available when selecting a playlist out of a menu, and a shuffle control is not present in the "now playing" interface. To play a playlist, you navigate to Library->playlists->select playlist->select a song and then you have to just listen from there as there is no shuffle. 

In addition, there is the emby server shortcomings with Playlists. Playlists do not show in Favorites, Recently Played, or Latest. The only way to get to them is to navigate to Library and then playlists. There is no way to pin them to the front page, unless that is something that is coming with server 4.10.

In Narjo I can select a playlist on the home screen, shuffle it, enjoy cross-fading and replay gain, persistent queues, and the ability to rate songs from the "now playing" interface. Still a long way to go for emby.

Hi. I think all of your issues should be addressed with the next release of the app.
