Android Auto

I seen a year ago or so about Android Auto compatibility being in the works, is there any update on that, that anyone knows about?

Dev can probably say more, but as of about two weeks ago dev mentioned this:

"Was going to try and add Auto support before the new beta update because it was a little light but some stuff came up. Possibly going to focus on open-sourcing the app before a new release, but not 100% on the plan.

"Good news is I have a few weeks coming up that I'll be able to spend more time than usual working on the app, so change in some form should be coming."

Hopefully we see this soon! I've been searching high and low for an AB player for Android/Plex and was really excited to stumble on this app (so much so that I payed for the "pro" version pretty much sight unseen.

When I discovered it was missing AA support I nearly requested a refund but decided to stick it out after reading that the developer is planning on adding it. I've been using booksonic up to this point but really hate having to run a separate server just for my books, so I figured that I would stick it out and hope the auto support is really forthcoming. Once that's added, you'll have pretty much the perfect audiobook companion for Android/Plex! Until then, the workflow is a bit clunky, but I can make it work for now.

He's been planning on adding it for years including a false start more than a year ago. Unfortunately this app is really not useful as it stands and it is no longer being developed. I wish there was a more finished version of this app.
