Mauricio_MF Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 When I connect my device to play music via bluetooth while driving, the shuffle options (all, songs, categories) are disabled. I noticed that it only happens with playback in the car, when I use bluetooth headphones it works properly. Any idea why this happens? I have reinstalled the app and I have also explored all the settings of the "shuffle" menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 The output method should have no impact on the available Shuffle options. However the playback Category can make a difference. What you do see in the long-press options menu for the Shuffle icon when playing (for example) a folder via the two output devices? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you using the interface from the car player, like with Android Auto or other interface that is built into the car itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I didn't explain it well. All shuffle modes are available (no greyed) in both, in the folder and on the current playback screen but what specifically happens is that when connecting to the car's bluetooth, the modes "shuffle songs, shuffle categories, shuffle songs/categories" change to the option "shuffle all" even if I do the manual change again it does not allow it and all options return to "shuffle all" mode.

Mauricio_MF Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 In other words, it only allows me to use the "Shuffle All" mode when my device plays via bluetooth in the car. Even if I change the mode, it just returns to shuffle all mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you apply the shuffle mode directly from your phone, are the other shuffle modes available and allow them to be selected to start the playback in those modes?

Yes, they are available, and I can even select them, but doing so immediately puts them in "shuffle all" mode. "Song, categories, song/categories" modes do not work because selecting them returns them to "shuffle all" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 @Mauricio_MF what is the context of this video? From the visual tap indicator, it appears to be long-pressing on the Shuffle icon, but no sign of then tapping anywhere else in the list. What happens when you just tap on the Shuffle icon, you should see a toast message showing what the mode has been cycled to. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauricio_MF Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 @andrewilley The video shows that when selecting the modes "shuffle songs, shuffle categories, shuffle songs/categories" the selection stays in "shuffle all" mode and does not move from there.

andrewilley Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 As I said, what do you see if you just tap on the Shuffle icon, not long-press it. You should see toast messages with the new selected mode displayed. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
