Playback on Android Auto goes to Queue screen when playback continues to next episode

Android version: 13

Device model: OnePlus 12

Expected behavior: When the current episode is finished and continuing to the next, the screen will show the new now-playing episode

Current behavior: When the current episode is finished and continuing to the next, the screen switches to the Queue and continues playing

First occurred: Always, recently installed and testing to see if I like the app

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have more than one episode in the Queue
  2. Connect to Android Auto
  3. Play
  4. Wait for the current episode to end and automatically move on to the next

Environment: Above mentioned phone and Android, current Android Auto on the phone. Car is a '17 Kia with the most recent UVO head unit firmware available, circa 2023.

This appears to be the same as this topic from back in January. It has no replies.

This has been a bug for a while now. For me, when an episode finishes, it just stays on the now playing screen, with the timer still counting up past the total play time. Also if you try to select a new episode by tapping the queue button from the now playing screen and tap a different episode, it just goes back to the currently playing episode. You have to tap the back button, then the top queue button, then tap desired episode. These are the last two bugs that would make AP absolutely perfect for me.

At this point, the issues I’ve found have become deal-breakers for me as the primary place I listen is in my car, so I can’t go fiddling with on-screen controls to resume playback on the next episode while driving.

I may try it again when the app is updated as there is much I like about Antennapod more than PocketCasts, which is what I was testing against.
