[Voice Commands Not Finding Partial Matches]

Thanks for your quick reply! Here is what that screen says after I process the command. It hears the right song, that album is wrong though, not sure where it's pulling that. The song is on an album called "Any Given Thursday". Also (not sure if related), but when I ask Power Amp to play album "Any Given Thursday" is errors out and can't play it. The album is in my library, it comes up when I manually search.

I recently used Google Assistant to search for a song title that had "(live)" at the end of the track. The song name prior to the "(live)" is unique. I asked it to play the song (without the live) and it started playing something else entirely. Is Poweramp unable to search partial matches in voice commands or is this an assistant issue? Thanks!

Do you have the EQ app installed as well, that has its own connection triggers.

No I don't.

[Music Pauses after music auto-starts in android auto]

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S20fe

OS: Android 12

Power amp version: build 933-bundle play

Power amp automatically starts playing when Android auto starts. I believe this comes from Android auto since I don't have it checked off in the power amp settings. I only have  "pause upon disconnect" checked off in Bluetooth settings.

After a few minutes of music playing, power amp stops playing and I have to manually press play. Do I need to change a setting to stop this from happening or is it a bug? Thanks!

 

[Android Auto Playlist Shuffle Not Shuffling Current Playlist]

Poweramp version: build 905-arm64-play

A discussion was started here, but it was suggested that this was a bug so I'm posting it here as well.

In Android Auto, if I select a certain playlist and then hit the "shuffle" button on the top of the list, it shuffles songs starting from the first playlist on my device rather than songs in the playlist I'm currently in.

Ah, right, I see what you mean now. I never use the AA lists as they don't work on my AA screen at all, I just get a spinning 'busy' icon when I try.

I've now tried it with my local AA app on the phone. I don't think it is doing a full All Songs shuffle, but instead a Shuffle Songs - where the songs are shuffled, but the Categories (Playlists) go through in order, which is what you wanted. However the problem seems to be that it starts with the first Playlist on your device, rather than the one you are currently viewing.

Thank you for researching that! So is this a bug that I should submit to the dev? The expected behavior (to me) is that clicking "shuffle" while in a particular playlist folder should shuffle the folder you're currently in, not all the playlists you have. I would expect the latter to happen if you went to the "playlists" tab and hit "shuffle."

I primarily use Poweramp while in Android Auto, so this is a frequently used feature for me.

Tap the Shuffle button twice. First press would be All Songs, second press gives Shuffle Songs in Category.

Thanks, I have done that and it's my current shuffle setting in the app when I have shuffle on.

The problem is that the android auto car interface defaults to "all songs" when you hit "shuffle" at the top of a playlist. Ideally, that one tap would just shuffle all songs in that playlist, but instead, I have to select a song, then go into the menu and hit shuffle twice for it to shuffle how I want. It's too many taps for an interface that's meant to be distraction free.

The android auto shuffle isn't working as expected. I'll navigate to a playlist, hit the shuffle button to shuffle the songs in that playlist and instead it shuffles all songs. The only way to get it to shuffle how I want is to select a song in the playlist and then shuffle and make sure the right shuffle (current category only) is selected from the menu...not exactly the safest thing to be doing while driving. It should be one button press. 

Is there a way to turn off the extra shuffle option or at least default to certain settings? It's nice that they are offered, but I just want a typical shuffle experience (shuffle the single playlist if inside a playlist folder or all songs in library if in the songs tab). These options for switching categories or shuffling all songs from anywhere is a bit much for me.
