Car Steam Not Working #146

Open sstuff3 opened 6 years ago

sstuff3 commented 6 years ago

I installed AA 3.0 and Car Stream 1.8.3. Made the changes shown on Kiran's website and also tried the steps mentioned on the various threads here. AA is working and shows the Car Stream button when I click the last icon on the right (looks like a small steering wheel), the player screen come on with a message to click the last icon to begin watching YouTube. There is no YouTube option when selecting the icon. It only shows Car Stream and Google Music Player. Any ideas how to make this work?

Android Auto 3.0 blocks custom apps.

See issue #116 for a fix.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I've tried multiple times. The path and apk name is correct. Error: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r \Phone\Download\youtube_auto_v1.8.3.apk Error: failed to write; PhoneDownloadyoutube_auto_v1.8.3.apk (No such file or directory)

shmykelsa commented 6 years ago

Use Windows Program instead. Much easier.

Anyway: what you did wrong is put \phone\ which is not a correct directory

Thank you. I corrected the path but now get another error:

That's still not a correct path.

Try \sdcard\Download\youtube_auto_v1.8.3.apk instead

sstuff3 commented 6 years ago

The apk is on the internal phone storage. I've confirmed the path through my windows explorer

Sorry I didn't even noticed you're using backslash. You should use normal slashes.

Anyway, internal storage in ADB's logic is /sdcard/

Got it. Working now! Thank you so much for your help.
