Music Playlists not working in Android Auto

[cdhowie]

The issue seems to be that jellyfin saves the playlists under /config/data/, but android auto only seems to recognize data that is under whatever folder you are using for your media library. I just copied the playlist xml from where it was saved (you can check the medatada for location) into my library folder and now I can see the playlist in Android auto. I am also using rsync to keep the playlist updated

P.S
This will have the effect that you will see your playlists 2 times under playlists in the regular app

This is consistent with my experience as well. Playlists that were discovered in a library (e.g. .m3u files on disk) show up under that particular library in AA, but playlists created in the Jellyfin web UI do not show up. I believe the AA interface essentially lets you browse the contents of music libraries directly and so it's looking too deep in the hierarchy and misses the top-level playlists, which is a shame because that means it's not easily possible to create music playlists whose contents span multiple libraries and play them through AA.
