tanglingpig Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I have a large library of mp3 and flac files with album art encoded using ID3 tags. The album art displays fine in the Poweramp app and in the menus of Poweramp in android auto, but not in the main song screen of android auto. I can, however, get the art to display for an entire album in the main screen if I go into the app and manually set the album art for one song on that album to the embedded art. I can reproduce this bug in both my android auto head unit and the android auto app. v3-build-864-arm64-play Full Version Motorola One Zoom Android 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Try Settings > Album Art > Always Send Album Art. May not resolve your particular case, but worth trying. Also worth checking Settings > Misc> Android Auto | Album Art for Tracks and Settings > Misc > Metachanged Intent. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanglingpig Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks for the reply. I have all of those settings turned on already. Tried switching the off but it didn't change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanglingpig Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 So I've found that Android auto will only display album art that is stored in Android/data/_com.maxmpz.audioplayer/selected_aa When you select the album art for a track, it gets put in this directory, even if you select the embedded art. Is there a setting I'm missing to have android auto display embedded album art? I'd like to not have all of the album art stored here either as that would get quite large.

maxmp Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Most probably this is permission issue (e.g. Samsung @ Android 10 released ROMs with no permission to pass some type of files, affecting AA ability to show images). The use case is very complicated to test by OEMs so the tend to break it sometimes. Samsung fixed that in latest ROMs but not Motorola it seems. Please try this build with same workaround as for Samsung activated: Let me know if it helps. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSBankai Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hello! I'm having the same issue. All art shows fine in AA menus, but not on playing screen on phone or on car infotainment screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Please try Album art / API compatibility option. Some ROMs have too strict (incorrect or incomplete) SELinux settings preventing fast optimized way of updating covers, this option tries to workaround that.
