Expected behaviour: Local folder podcast in Android Auto car display should have the same icon in the podcasts and the episodes list that they have in phone display.
Current behaviour: They do not show any icon in the list of episodes and podcast. However they do show the episode miniature while playing.
First occurred: 2 weeks#
Steps to reproduce:
Save a set of .mp3 files in a local folder with embeded icon and metadata. Save a folder.jpg file with the icon for the podcast.
Open Antenapod in Android Auto car display.
Go to the podcats list and open the podcast in local folder.
Podcast name and episodes are displayed but with no icon.
Play the podcast and see it does show the miniature while playing.
Do the same in phone screen and see that icons are displayed.
Environment: Last version of the app in Android Auto in car display.
Thanks. So I understand the options would be exposing the channel as a RSS feed, right? I’ve been trying to setup ydl-podcast + ngnix under termux to expose it as a local rss feed, but I’ve had no success so far.
Not sure if Android Auto can access a podcast that is hosted locally on your phone. In any case, you would have to extract the cover images from the audio files, write them to a file, and reference that file from the podcast feed.
I think AntennaPod might not be the best app for your use-case. It is made for playing podcasts, not for playing files you downloaded elsewhere. For playing your downloaded files, it might be better to use a normal media player app.
It is only the icons that I miss and only in Android Auto display. Everything else is perfect. And it is podcast even thow it is in local file so I prefer to have them in the same app as other podcasts. I definitely can live without seeing the icons.
