Playlist: Directly start a playlist from start screen (similar to title mix)

Feature description:

Pin individual Playlists to the startscreen, so that you can start playing it with one click. I think an implementation similar to the title mix or the album mix would be sufficent.

Problem solved:

Personal use case: Everytime i connect to my car via BT, symfonium pops up and presents me the start screen. Today, I only have the title mix shortcut for playing all my music randomly.
The problem is: I have a lot of genres, that i dont want to lissten to in my car (like soundtracks).
So as of today, i have to do a few more clicks, until i reach the relevant smart playlist.
It would be perfect, if i could pin this single playlist to the start screen and direcly listen to it. (similar to title mix)

Brought benefits:

Reducing the steps for playing individual music without cluttering the interface. (eg I only want to have a certain playlist on start)

This is exactly what I want for my Mum on Android TV. All she ever does is play playlists that I curate for her on request. I’ve put the favourite playlists so they sit at the top of her home screen.

A way that she could just press “shuffle” on the playlist and go straight into the now playing screen without further navigation would make it a lot easier for her.

I favourite my smart playlists which I listen to often. This at least reduces a few clicks until I get to the playlist on Android Auto. Anything to avoid that blasted “safety pause” warning :smiley:

You can do that with the favourite playlists section.

How exactly did you create that 2025 card? I dont mean how to send to home screen. But to get that fully stretched layout?
