hdlineage Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 In Android auto mode, the shuffle button at the top of the playlist does not actually shuffle the current playlist. It shuffles the first playlist instead. The only way I can get Poweramp to shuffle the playlist I want is through using the phone. Poweramp Version: build-905-arm64-play Full version Phone: google pixel 4a 5G Android version: 11 Step to reproduce: 1. Create more than 1 playlists 2. Connect android auto 3. Shuffle any playlist other than the first one 4. Poweramp shuffle the first playlist instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Actually this seems to happen with Android Auto in any Category - Albums, Artists, Folders, Playlists, etc. @maxmp If you go into any category in AA, and tap the Shuffle button at the top of the songs list, PA starts shuffling the first group object in that Category rather than the currently viewed one.

Hammett Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I confirm this issue. Was driving me crazy the other day. Poweramp Version: build-905-arm64-play Full version Phone: Xiaomi 9T pro Android version: 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 @Hammett And this is happening for you in Android Auto, yes? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Bourque Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hi! Just chiming in about the issue. This is happening systematically when using Build 895-905 in Android Auto only. The Shuffle button behavior acts as expected in normal mode (not Android Auto) but as others have explained, the shuffle button does not shuffle the folder you are in (I'm most exclusively using the Folder Hierarchy mode when in my car) but music from other Thanks in advance!

andrewilley Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 @Stephane Bourque Thanks. Yes, this issue does seem to be an Android Auto bug only (see my post above). The Poweramp dev @maxmp has been a bit busy with work on the new parametric equalizer, but hopefully once that settles down he will be able to get back to some of the other outstanding bug fixes.

maxmp Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 @Stephane Bourque thanks for the details, should be fixed in the next Poweramp beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Bourque Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Thank you! Also, my music is being played from the SD card exclusively. I have not tested with the phone memory so I don't know if the behavior differs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 @Stephane Bourque Thanks. Yes, the issue occurs with any music from SD Card or phone memory, it is not storage-location specific. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mustard Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I came here to post this. Broken for me, too. On my phone, I have \\Music\A to Z and \\Music\Singles. In Poweramp > Folder hierarchy, whether I tap Shuffle within \\Music or \\Music\Singles, it appears to only shuffle songs within \\Music\A to Z only.

Thepoweramp Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Just installed Poweramp specifically looking for good android auto compatible album shuffle. Was so disappointed when it didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Set the Shuffle on your phone before you set off and it works fine. I guess you shouldn't really be selecting anything from text lists while driving anyway. [Edit] I've just checked the latest build (909) and it's now fixed.

King Mustard Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I've installed build 909 and the issue is the same on this end. I'll try removing the folders from within Poweramp and re-adding them later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 It's working for me in 909. If you want all songs from all sub-folders shuffled together as one big group, make sure you have PA Settings > Library > Lists > 'Shuffle All Songs in Folder Hierarchy' enabled. Otherwise you'll hear one folder shuffled completely, then PA will move on to another folder and play its contents shuffled, etc. One slight difference between direct app playback vs. Android Auto embedded playback seems to be that for folder-based mode, in the direct app it picks a subfolder at random and then plays all of its contents shuffled, then chooses another random subfolder, etc. Whereas in Android Auto, the subfolder choices are navigated through in ascending order, with the contents of each of those subfolders shuffled.
