I'm writing an Android Automotive music client - bendardenne - 2024-11-29
So I recently received a new car which comes with Android Automotive OS (not to be confused with Android Auto), and of course I immediately thought how it would be great if I could listen to my Jellyfin-hosted music directly from the car's OS, and not have to fiddle around with my phone at all.
So I set out to write a client for AAOS
.It only supports music. I've been testing this in my own vehicle (polestar2), and a couple of other automotive emulators I could find and it seems to work fine on those, too.
Supports:
- Showing recently added albums
- Showing some random albums
- Showing recent playlists
- Showing favourite tracks
- Searching (queries album artists, albums, playlists and tracks)
Couple of caveats:
- you need a public facing server, mostly because I don't think there's a way to get a VPN client running on AAOS
- you need https, I think http should be possible with an extra android permission but I haven't tested this (should work now I think)
- it's probably a bit too targeted to my own way of listening to music, but perhaps we can add some settings as to how the library is presented and which categories are available...
Install it from the play store here.
Code is at: https://github.com/bendardenne/sharkmarmalade/

Yeah I realize the subset of people who both host music on Jellyfin and have an car with Android is rather niche
But perhaps someone finds this useful.I hope more manufacturers start using AAOS though, it's really awesome.

Now I need a driving license.....
More seriously, I'm sure some will find it useful, and it's great to see a new client! Good luck with it
