On Android auto I would like there to be a pause button in addition to or instead of the stop button. I will pause it when at a drive thru or something like that and it is a pain to hit stop the go to queue to start playing again.
Thanks for chipping in! I don’t have a driving license, let alone a car, but this seems like a sensible request I’ve created an issue over at GitHub, where the app development happens. It might get implemented, if there’s anyone able and willing to work on it.
Stop means terminate the podcast, don’t keep your position. Pause means freeze the podcast at the current position. At least that’s what it means in general. I’m not sure what Android Auto does, however.
Other apps that I have tried like Google podcasts will stay on the same screen and you can just hit the pause button again to start the show. With the way it works now you get taken back to the episode selection screen and you start the show again you need to find it in the episode list or go to the queue.
On my Android Auto, hitting the button behaves like Pause. But I see the video now, and can try to reproduce. @msaeger, what version of Android Auto is on your phone?
Thanks for the Link. It does say that I am in the beta but Google play on the beta page shows 2.1.3 as the latest version not the 2.2.0 that tonytamsf is saying fixed the issue.
