That's because Android Auto UI support is still not implemented.

im not using/running android auto tho? it is an car stereo which is running android 12?

si458 commented 2 days ago

i installed the spotube app directly onto my car stereo directly from both the google play store and fdroid ive even tried the nightly build too and its the same thing? the queue panel just doesnt open up like it does on my macbook or android phone?

Oh ok so I guess it's Android Automotive OS or something of that kind. In that case it should work.

The queue not showing is probably a UI related bug as the aspect ratio is kinda bizarre 😅

maybe possible!

i couldnt get the login with spotify to work originally as it just kept showing a blank black screen then i discovered the android device was running version 63 of the android webview! i couldnt update it/find it on the play store, so i installed version 93 of webview from apkpure, and switched the webview to use version 93 in a hidden setting in android then suddenly i could see the spotify login page!

good old chinese android devices!

Lol that was quite an adventure. I can't push updates rights but for now you can do workaround to at least control the queue and other controls

You've to set app's Settings > Appearance > Layout Mode to Extended from Adaptive. It'll force the app to use Desktop Layout which will be usable in your case

@KRTirtho i already tried that, that view doesnt work either, exactually the same thing

EDIT: the only way around currently i have at the moment,

  1. enable spotify connect
  2. load up the app on my android phone
  3. into devices and connect to my stereo (from my phone)
  4. load up the queue on my phone and use it from there

PS: every single time i go into the settings menu on my android unit, the devices list gets longer and longer, starts with 1 device, then 2, then 3, etc.. then randomly it will clear the devices back to 1 and start again
