When using plexamp with android auto (via smartphone), the search is majorly broken for a couple of reasons: Voice input with google does only work exactly once. When you try pressing the microphone icon a 2nd time in the search bar it just makes a short blip sound (different from the regular “ta…

Thanks for your quick reply! Just so we talk about the same thing: I’m not talking about any “ok google” commands, but rather the regular speech to text input when pressing the microphone icon in the searchbar of plexamp.

Out of curiosity, when searching for the same thing inside Plexamp, is it missing the other types of results, or missing additional tracks specifically?

You’re onto something, seems like it only shows the first 2 titles of the search results in android Auto. These are the results in the app itself: [Screenshot_20250310-213101]

It looks like it’s just displaying the track results and not others. I’m not sure why, as it appears that we are returning all of the results to Android Auto :thinking: Do those other types appear in other apps?

Any other music apps which have AA support.

Good question, don’t even have one. But I can verify that. I was under the assumption that the plexamp android auto UI is provided by the app? Or does AA require all music players to use the same UI components?

Android Auto is super primitive; you give it back data, it renders the UI.

I wasn’t aware voice input worked at all, but feel free to post some Plexamp logs after doing the search, this might lend a clue.
