anyone tried VTap? (youtube videos)

Found it in another thread. Sorry

Yes I have tried it. Its the best video search & play solution I used on my machine. Really good software - also also you to search Wikipedia easly. Also seems to be free software at the moment!
Try it - you have nothing to loose

I use it all the time, very good and reliable.

Wow, surprised to hear people are using it, it didn't work at all for me. Would bring up the list of videos, but won't play any of them. I thought maybe it has some issue with the TCPMP +flash bundle used to watch YouTube video directly.

I have the TCPMP+flash bundle also and is works fine for me. What error message do you get (if any)?

I think I know whats wrong. This happened to me before as well. However, it should work fine now. The problem before was it could not play any video while you were on a proxy. But they just fixed it and released an update so you can watch it with the proxy and fixed some other minor things. It works great. I just installed the update yesterday. I suggest you uninstall the one you have now and go to vtap.com on your phone and download the new one. Hopefully this fixes the problem!

My google music works fine. And does it really take longer to uninstall/reinstall then it does to make a thread and wait for a reply? Or does this happen often and you have to uninstall/reinstall? Cause like I said, Google Music has no problems for me. However, I'm using a slightly older version (4.1.512) that's was modded to be transparent - don't know if the newest version might have issues?

I'm using 4.1.513 with no issues.

Mine works fine,but i added my own music and only play music at home on wifi normally.Never had any problems with it not showing.

I would try uploading my local music to google music.You can them make your google music available offline as well.

Do you have a custom ROM? Did this problem start with an upgrade such as ICS? I have ICS on a stock, unrooted Vivid. The Google Music app is 4.1.513. As soon as I started it, it found all my local music on the SD card as well as albums on my internal storage I had recently purchased and downloaded from Google. I don't mess with streaming music, so if that is what you're doing, maybe someone else can help you.

Same sd card? If so try reformatting it (backup important stuff, format card, replace important stuff)

This happens to me, too. The easier workaround than uninstall/reinstall is to locate the Google Play Music app under Settings/Apps and clear data.
Then use the Google Music app and go through the usual stuff. Your local music files will be there when you're done.
I know it's not a fix, but it's a better workaround than reinstalling the app.

TuneIn App

So I got the Pioneer 8100NEX setup last night. After flashing OxygenOS on my phone (BlissPop wouldn't work due to the DPI issue) I am up and running with Android Auto. However, when going through the music app option all I have is Google Music. The other main app I use for tunes and general listening is TuneIn which, while installed and apparently should work, is not showing up. I searched the settings for TuneIn and didn't notice anything obvious. Is this a Pioneer setting I am going to wait for or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

I realize this is a dusty post, but did you ever get TuneIn to appear in AA? I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6P.

Allow me to spray some Pledge/Endust on this topic as well. I have a Moto X Pure Edition running TruPureXMM 2.6 and I just purchased a 2016 Honda Civic EX with Android Auto built-in. Everything about it works great: Maps, Hangouts, Play Music with voice search, the whole thing. EXCEPT: similar to the posters above, when touching the Audio button to see other apps, the only app listed is Google Play Music. I should also note that I have multiple Auto-compatible audio apps in addition to TuneIn Radio Pro; I also have BeyondPod, Pandora, and iHeartRadio. None of them appear. Google support is non-existent at this point, which is a little unsettling as more and more carmakers are offering stock options with Android Auto.
I'm not any kind of expert, but I'm wondering if this is a side effect of having a rooted and/or custom ROM installed. Mine is stock based for my phone but it is rooted and I see that the OP had a custom ROM as well. I don't know what you are running @monorailmedic. Any information or assistance from someone who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have any adblock app running on your phone?

Curiouser and curiouser. I will mention that I tried disabling USB Debugging and that did not have any effect.

Disabling AdAway had no effect. However, I believe I have resolved the issue.
I mentioned that I have TuneIn Radio Pro, but I did not mention that I got it through the Amazon App Store rather than Google Play. (It was a free app of the day many moons ago.) I installed the regular version of TuneIn from the Play Store and...voila, it appeared in Auto. Same thing with the other apps - I had installed them outside of Google Play, and apparently Auto doesn't like that. Reinstalling through the Play Store got me up and running.
I don't know if that scenario is also your issue @monorailmedic, but mine has been resolved this way.

I too got the Pro version from Amazon years ago when it was a freebie. I'll try downloading the version from the Play Store in the morning. I wrote to TuneIn today, so if this is the issue, it'd be swell if they provided me the key to the newer pro version via the Play Store.

In fact, I mentioned a possible block because IMHO the apps for Android Auto can't work if they aren't able to contact the Google Play store for license activation.

Interesting... Besides license validation of protected apps (which the dev controls) this is the first instance I recall hearing where sideloaded apps won't work.
Developers of AA compatible apps can't just sideload either, even just for testing. App has to go through Google Play as a special AA beta test.
Google requires that all AA compatible apps (and their updates) be tested by them and approved for not being distracting. This is part of their protection for that. Sideloaded or Amazon etc. apps can't be guaranteed to have gone through this testing. (Actually an MD5 of the APK or similar could be done, but that could be abused on rooted devices and Google prefers everything goes through Play anyway.)

So, how are you all using TuneIn? I've been immensely disappointed that there's no favorites/presets list available via AA. Nor is there even the recent stations list available. So, how in the world do you access the stations you want? The lists that are available seem really truncated and have only strange channels I've never heard of. I was able to use voice commands once but now that isn't working and one of my stations wasn't accessible that way either. So, the whole app seems to be essentially useless to me via the AA interface. Bluetooth streaming still works, but defeats the purpose and of course then there's no access to any of the other aspects of AA.

I too have the pro version from Amazon, which i got for free. In order to get it to work with Android Auto you have to install it using google play as the vendor. Same goes with other apps that you sideload
1. Install Tunein Pro from Amazon Store.
2. Save the apk installer file using es Explorer. hxxp://android.stackexchange.com/questions/75360/is-it-possible-to-backup-apk-from-an-installed-application
3. Uninstall Tunein Pro
4. Reinstall using ADB hxxps://pixplicity.com/setting-install-vendor-debug-app/
I tested it and it works

You can also "unblock" non-play store apps in AA. Open AA on your phone, then go to "information" then tap many times on the upper bar... it will reveal "developer options". Now tap on 3-dot menu and set developer mode. You should see more apps through car headunit.

New Device: Best way of getting started?

Hey Guys,
I just got my device. Should I keep my device locked to 5.0.0 or move over to 5.0.1?
I want to make sure I am on the same page as everyone else.

I would remain on 5.0.0, to be able to install and set as default a different launcher.
Because the default one really sucks

I have two one at 5.0.1 and one at 5.0.0. While the Amazon launcher sucks being unable use the Google play store on 5.0.0 is a big minus for that version. Been really busy with work and life stuff so I haven't done much work on them. I carry the 5.0.1 one everyday with Play music and a number of games on it. The battery life is pretty good when n playing downloaded music so I use it as an music player at work.

Google Play doesn't work in 5.0.0 still?
That's a deal breaker.

I don't mind not having Google play the only problem I've had is it doesn't recognise in app purchases I'm getting my apks paid off Google onto my fire YouTube and other apps work fine think of it like having a Google tablet without the store but all the logins

Android auto quits after starting music

Hi there,
strange thing... When I say "ok Google" followed by the instruction to play some music with Play Music, Rocket Player or even Player Pro, it starts the music but sends Android Auto to the background. I have to click the icon again to restart Android Auto. Ist this a bug or a feature?
Running Auto on OnePlus 5t, Oreo. No display mirroring, using it straight on my phone.

All i can give you is possible reasons why it kicks out or gets stuck, there's more reasons but they are all
more random then these I've posted below...

if issue is with AA app...
hell if i know i don't use that thing, since googles latest updates (earlier this year)
killed the compatibility of using it to serve emu for HU....
for that area you'll have to await someone elses answers. sry

if issue is on HU....
Make sure your clock is set to correct time/date, and also make sure you've a correctly updated version of
google play store, and other services by goo. this is leading to numerous crashes(freezing units) this you would need to uninstall the application(s) and re-install/update, or reformat...
there was as well a strange bug, with SystemUI, that lead it to crash (search google play for that fix) ...
ofc could be just simply over-heating since manufacturers of h/w seemed to over look heat sinking or device fans
for internal cooling... these devices were not very well made for there prices... ive got a Hizpo px3/5 both needed h/w modifications.
