[Question] Android Auto Compatibility #176

Greetings, first of all I have to say that I absolutely love this player, I love its interface and its performance. I come from MALP and I was looking for a similar-looking player for everyday use and I found this and I thank you for developing this amazing software.

Onto the question: Do you have plans for "Android Auto" compatibility? Or is it something completely not feasible?

I would like to use Odyssey to listen to some music in my car when I have longer rides (I kind of despise Google Play Music), but it seems there is no way to use it.

Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

Hi,

thanks for your kind words :-) We already looked in the documentation for "Android Auto" but because of a lack of time and no one of us uses it we postponed this feature. Actually it is not that difficult but much work has to be done to achieve compatibility. You could take a look at the documentation if you are interested in this topic.

So currently you have only the option to use Bluetooth or the Headphone Jack.

Hi,

Bluetooth in car doesn't work as expected :

I can phone and control phone features using my radio controls (android radio system),
I can hear music streamed from the phone if it was first launched from the phone,
I can go back and next with the current playing list (as I remember),
But I can't navigate the medias on the phone and choose another song/playlist or whatelse.

Is it related to this issue (seems to be when reading your documentation) or something completly different?

And, thanks. Odyssey is a really nice player.
