Adapt Plexamp for Android Automotive OS, (not just Android Auto)

I’m looking to get a new Polestar soon, and they are the first to run a native Android OS in the car.
They wont be the only ones.
Currently its limited to only a radio app and spotify, and being Android OS already, they wont add Android Auto anytime soon
I’d love to be able to run plexamp natviely in it if possible

Your so adaptable Plex, surely you can see you’re way to getting this working.

They will even support the development; Developer Portal

Hi, I concur with the above. Apparently there are just some minor tweaks needed for existing Android Auto compatible apps to make an app Android Automotive compatible.

All the details are here: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/media/automotive-os

Bashers link above includes details for the Polestar Android Emulator for Android Automotive, so everything seems to be in place to support changes and testing.

Very happy to support with testing if it would be helpful.

Bets regards!

I would also love the Plex Amp app in my new Polestar.

Adding to this, I would love it!
I dont use Spotify and dont want to sign up just for the car

This would be great.

Would be great to have the Plexamp available on my Polestar 2!

And the Plex Media Player would be a nice bonus if that also would be made available under Android Automotive.

But, this thread is alsmost a year old now… No replies yet from Plex. Is it even on their roadmap?

Hey I just wanted to second this request. Plex on Android Automotive would be really great. I know there are only a few Android Automotive users out there, but also there are very few apps. I could imagine that publishing a plex app would give plex a whole new user base.

Bump!

Another vote for this! I will be more than happy to beta test this!

+1 here.
Just got an AAOS based car and am desperate to get out of YouTube Music and Spotify, I refuse to pay for premium subscriptions when I’ve got all the music I want ready and waiting for me.

I’ve resorted to the USB Media player primarily.
