Hey Atrais, thanks for the bug report. I’ve been working on a fix for the buttons on Android Auto which is on Github.

I don’t have trouble selecting a different podcast from the queue on Android Auto, but all of the podcasts in my queue are also downloaded. Are you selecting podcasts which aren’t downloaded? If you do that and haven’t allowed mobile data streaming in the settings, that might happen because the app wants you to approve streaming via mobile data first.

Thanks for the respons awbooze. I’ll check out your fix and keep my fingers crossed that version 3.0 solves the issue too!

My podcasts are all downloaded too, so I’m not sure what’s going on there. Will try deleting and re-downloading to see if it makes any difference.

I also have the issue of selecting a different podcast from the queue and getting no response. I am on the 3.0 beta. To be more specific, it the queue that you access from the main player(queue button is in the upper right corner). The queue tab on top with episodes and downloads does allow you to select a different podcast.
