Android Auto UI could be more compact

I tried the Android Auto support for the first time today after enabling Emby premium.

Good thing is that it works fine for music playback.

Less good is that the UI, when browsing the library, is so huge, you have to constantly scroll to see at least the first item in a folder / category - the screen is almost entirely taken by the Play and Shuffle buttons. This is unsafe and annoying in a car. I would really like if this was improved or configurable, perhaps just make the menu items smaller. Thank you

OK this is just the stock android auto UI. Meaning all we're doing is feeding it data.

I don't know much about Android Auto, just reporting that it is difficult to use. Artist search also does not work, I switched to the artists page, typed darude and it found "darude sandstorm", but not the artist with his several albums. I suppose the best way to use it in a car is to prepare a collection I can activate with two clicks and not try to find anything

We’ll take a look at Artist search. Thanks.
