The Jellyfin app on my Android phone runs normally when not connected to Android Auto.

But when AA takes over, and I run Jellyfin on AA’s dashboard app list, it shows the screen below:

Doesn’t seem like it is accepting any input. Is this an issue or have I missed a step?

Edit: problem solved. Or I should say there is no problem in the first place. Jellyfin AA simply only plays audio, and it doesn’t support video playback period. My Jellyfin only has videos hence “no item” (no audio item).

    IIRC it only works for music, and I believe only the most recent 100 items.

    We haven’t had any other contributors come in with any more work for it, and even what exists was just from one person about a year or two ago.

    To be honest, the 1-2 maintainers we have working on it have been mainly improving video playback.

      Oh that would explain it then. I use Jellyfin only for videos, it has zero music content as of now.

      Maybe I will try adding a music file or two to see if the mp3’s will show up.
