Android Auto - Pause playback

Support

Issue description:

When using Android Auto, music playback works as expected. On pressing mute, playback is paused as expected. However, pressing unmute only unmutes the car’s speakers and doesn’t resume playback. Issue can’t be replicated in 3rd party apps like YT Music or Spotify.

For the record mute is supposed to mute not pause.

Anyway here’s the commands Symfonium receive in that log.

The app does not receive any other other event, commands or audio focus changes, so not sure I can do anything here.

Alright thank you. The logs dont show it but i pressed the unmute button again after some time. I guess the car hasn’t sent this command to the phone.

Is there any way I can show you the logs from Spotify or YT music, or would that be out of your scope?

Thanks.

In this case there’s nothing I could do if there’s no event reaching the app.
