I observe the same issue as the thread opener: On a fresh install of Plex Server and Plexamp, I get a black screen on AA. Note, cellular data usage is enabled, and as soon as I pull the USB cable, music starts to play via Bluetooth on the car’s speakers.
Please see here: Trouble with Android Auto - Plex Players - Plex Forum.
How can I support the resolving of the issue? Thanks for help!
