Android Auto Not Playing Selected Songs

[TonyR]

Build 839

Huawei Mate 20 Lite

Android 8.1.0

After update can't now play songs, playlists, albums from car screen

Selection is still available but when chosen songs are selected screen stays with previous selection

Have to change songs etc from phone screen

I posted something similar.  I originally thought the issue was only playing songs from a different playlist, but I just realized it's ANYTIME you pick a song from any playlist.  It won't play the song.  

I just redownloaded 838 and will see if it works again in the mean time.

Can you say how you are selecting then songs, and what the result is? Normally I set my playback option before I start driving (so on the phone) so I haven't looked into the selection options on the Android Auto screen very much.

There's 2 ways I can manifest this issue:

First way, starting from Poweramp music screen, trying to change playlists.  Press top left to go back to Playlists.  Select new playlist, then select song in new playlist.  Screen goes back to AA Poweramp screen, but the song doesn't change; it's the same song that was already playing and nothing happens.

Second way, just changing songs within a playlist.  From AA Poweramp screen, select bottom left option to see the queue.  Select a new song, but nothing happens.  It goes back to the AA Poweramp screen with the old song still playing.  Song does not change.

 

I reverted back to 838 and issue is gone and it works fine.

Thanks for the feedback, fixed in 840.

Awesome thank you! Poweramp is the best.

Thanks guys

Any idea when 840 will be available via Google Play?

Or where could I get it?

[andrewilley]

Poweramp build 840 is not out yet, latest released build is 839.

As I am having problems with 839 can I load 838 back on?

I have downloaded it from the Poweramp website

if I do this will I lose all my playlists etc?

[andrewilley]

To roll back you would need to uninstall 839 first, so yes you will lose your settings, internal playlists, etc. You can export them to physical files before you uninstall though.
