Have noticed recently that when I attempt to use Plexamp on Android Auto after leaving my house, I can only view the Downloads menu in Android Auto, as if the Plexamp app thinks I no longer have any connection (even though I then connect to 5g). The only thing that seems to fix this is playing a son…

Sure. Attached. This even just happened a little bit ago. At around 12:57pm (today) I got in my car. I then accessed the menu in android auto. It continued to just show Download screen for several minutes. The only thing that brought back the actual online menus was accessing them on my phone (and …

@elan anything helpful in my log? Or is something else needed to recreate the issue.

Checking in on this again @elan

Confirmed, I use Plexamp a few times in the car, but lately opening the app from AA shows the song paused and wanting to go back to the main menu only the download section and the shuffle item appear.

@elan any further commentary on this issue? Thanks.

Post Plexamp logs so we might have an idea of what’s going on. It’s designed to reload Android Auto when connectivity is regained.
