Do you intend to post every month just to keep it open?
Jokes aside: someone submitted a fix for this:
AntennaPod:develop ← awbooze:issue/5481-add-custom-playbackservice-actions-android-auto
opened 03:01AM - 29 Aug 22 UTC
Closes #5481.
Remove ACTION_SKIP_TO_NEXT from showing because it's hard-coded… to appear on the near right for Android Auto. Replace it with a custom change playback speed action and skip to next actions in order to fill out the actions list. I haven't wired up the playback speed action because I wanted to make sure that was the direction we wanted to go for that last action slot. It's the fifth action in the widget, so I assumed it was a leading candidate, though.
<s>This PR has some potential downsides. It removes the "Skip to next" action from Wear OS - that could be a future area of improvement (although, for example, Google Podcasts doesn't add any actions on Wear OS). We'd also have to implement a new way of switching between playback speeds because we can't have people looking at the screen to pick a playback speed.</s> Edit: I went ahead and implemented rotating through playback speeds in order. However, when it's time to target Android 13, it should be instantly compatible with [the new Android media controls](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13#playback-controls).
I'd appreciate thoughts on what that last custom action should be, if not changing playback speed, as well as anything regarding the TODO comments in PlaybackService and anything else you see.

It is available in AntennaPod version 3.1, which is currently in beta. You can join the beta , or wait for a month or two.

That’s a nice picture! Love the road, soft green & commercial signs in the background. Once you have the fix for the FF/RW issue, it would be great if you would be willing to take another picture and allow us to use it in communication materials (e.g. social media, website).
