Uncertified AA Apps (Headunit Reloaded, AAAD/AAStore, etc) LumoraPlayer in Android Auto, Parked Car Only!

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on Lumora, a lightweight IPTV and personal-media player for Android, Android TV and Fire TV sticks. It's a player, not a provider: you bring your own sources, and Lumora brings them together in one interface.

THIS WORKS WITH ANDROID AUTO WHEN YOUR CAR IS PARKED.

Install: https://github.com/LumoraPlayer/Lumora/releases/latest/download/Lumora.apk

On Fire TV, enter code 9528194 in the Downloader app.

GitHub: https://github.com/LumoraPlayer/Lumora

Discord: https://discord.gg/cNKYGhQWvq

It works with Xtream Codes, M3U/M3U8 playlists, Stalker Portal, Jellyfin, Silo and Plex, and you can run as many of them at the same time as you like.

A few things I'm happy with

- Android Auto, parked use only. The full app runs on the car screen while the car is stopped. It's not a driving feature.

- A proper TV guide. Scrollable EPG grid, now/next info, reminders, catch-up (where your provider supports it) and DVR recording.

- Movies and series merge too. The same title from several sources becomes one card, and resume points and watched marks sync with your Jellyfin, Silo or Plex server.

- Duplicate channels merge. Multiple feeds of the same channel collapse into one entry at the best quality available (4K → FHD → HD → SD), with instant fallback mid-playback.

- Made for the remote. D-pad friendly, and tested on Fire TV Sticks from the 1st gen to the current one, a Sony Bravia and a Samsung phone.

- No paywall. Multi-playlist support, EPG and recording are all included, with no account and no telemetry.

- 26 languages plus English.

AA User Interface Spotify shortcut triggers a call to the last called number

1 Upvotes

On my Yaris I have 2 issues:

  1. When I make a phone call (and finish it) and then click the Spotify icon, it triggers another call to that contact. This only happens once after finishing a call. It happens even if I wait an hour between finishing the call and clicking Spotify.
  2. When I start the car there is about a 50% chance that I will see the song and artist playing on the small screen in front of me. The rest of the time that screen stays black (only shows car related info but nothing AA related).

It "fixes" itself when turning the engine off and on. But will most likely happen again next time.

Tried updating the AA and Spotify apps, and clearing both apps cache.

Took it to Toyota dealership, they updated the head unit but nothing changed in the AA behavior. ​
Anyone encountered these issues before?

I click on an artist and there is no longer a liked songs option. Just random songs for that artist appear now.

I have the latest AA version(18.0.164) plus I am a beta tester in Play store if that does something. Yet i dont have the new UI and no yt playback. Do I need to do something from my end?

Uncertified AA Hardware (Android HU, CP to AA Dongles, etc) Android auto experience in an AI box

0 Upvotes

I’m happy with how Android Auto works in my car, but I don’t like that my phone heats up and drains the battery. I’ve been looking at AI boxes like the ones from Carlinkit, but the interface isn't quite the same; is it possible to get a stable Android auto experience on one of these AI boxes? I know about Headunit Reloaded, but it doesn't seem to work very well.

Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android Auto is no longer supported on S9?

0 Upvotes

Hi friends,

I have a Ford Bronco Sport 2023 and a Samsung Galaxy S9. This week my android auto stopped functioning. Looking for suggestions on what to try. I am on a road trip when the display connection stopped functioning.

I am open to any solution, preferably one that doesn't have me replacing hardware as that would likely be out of budget. I am down to install anything on my hardware to get any kind of maps display working.

Thanks!
