I recently bought a car that has Android Auto and I like the fact that I can play my Plex library right through the unit, but one “issue” I’ve noticed is that the “Shuffle” feature only works within an album or playlist. I prefer to shuffle all the songs in my library, is that something that can be …

This request has been going since 2017 and still no shuffle all option for plex in android auto. I started +1 several post and realized it doesn’t matter. I’ve given up hope that the function will be added. I’ve been using google music because of this. Just switched back to Plex app because syncing …

Plex, please address this request. Being able to quickly play music is a missing feature in Android auto. Voice control “Plex play library radio” would be a nice start. Also a button in the UI would be easy, (just like in the app).

It’s probably a fruitless gesture at this point to post a reply but I agree; it’s highly unusual not to have the shuffle option. In the car, 95% I like to use shuffle. I’ve been having to use the PLEX app itself which doesn’t lend itself well to car use.

Same for this user…haven’t had many opportunities to use AA but when I do, Plex is…not great. Why can’t I just shuffle what is on my device? Even being able to just shuffle by artist would be great. Really annoying lack of a feature.

+1 Is really a big feature for AA, you just want to start your car and shuffle it :slight_smile:

The only problem with this @TeknoJunky is that this is something we need with Android Auto, and the auto shuffling playlist suggsted there is for Plex/Web. I was hopeful that with the new Plexamp app that they’d add shortcuts to the playlists, but they didn’t even make Plexamp work with Android Aut…

Hiyas, if you create an ‘always shuffled’ playlist via the above link, all you will need to do is ‘play’ it, via android auto or any other client. every time the playlist is loaded or played, it will be shuffled. did you try it?
