Symfonium is eating through my data at a very fast pace.
I car commute in a 2015 Mazda3 and use Android Auto. I connect to Android Auto wirelessly by using a AAWireless (https://www.aawireless.io/). The AAWireless creates a Wi-Fi network that my phone connects to communicate wireless Android Auto data and audio. In Android Auto I use Symfonium to listen to music during my commute.
My thoughts are that since my phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network (AAWireless) Symfonium thinks that transcoding is not needed and downloads the full .flac instead of the .ogg in my transcoding configuration in Navidrome. Reality is that my phone is still using mobile data to access the internet and my files so my data is being chewed through at an accelerated rate.
I’m suspect this may be an issue with other wireless Android Auto users.
The Wifi network is a normal wifi network and not a wifi direct one as I thought.
This causes issues to properly know what to do automatically because Android blocks more and more low level network stuff and I can’t know the route to reach your server. While I can identify if the Wifi network have Internet access this does not mean that connection to the server would not work via the Wifi connection (At home on LAN Wifi with Internet down for example).
Getting SSID now also requires insane permissions.
I do not have satisfactory solutions here I guess the transcoding setting on Wifi can workaround this well enough.
