Feature description

I believe the integration with android auto is almost perfect the only thing I can't do or can't seem to find in the control scheme on android auto is how to turn on shuffle straight from the android auto controls.

Why do you want this feature?

I switched to newpipe from using YouTube music directly because I can use newpipe non modded for ad free music. The issue with modded YouTube music is it will not open the android auto app correctly to allow me to select a playlist and play it. Newpipe allows that and more the only thing it's missing that I have to pull my phone out for is the shuffle feature.

Please show a screenshot so we know what it looks like and can see where it's missing.

After some discussion in the Matrix chat, it would seem that the controls shown for Android Auto are the ones shown in the notification, which does not show Shuffle by default.

If you go to Settings > Notifications > Player notification, you can put Shuffle as one of the buttons.

This is an amazing fix. The one thing I would like to note is the sixth option does get overwritten to stop media playback.

Yeah this is a problem with the current notifications, they're pretty trash atm. We need to refactor it to have more options.

Can I close this issue as resolved then if that solves your problem?

Yes, please, and thank you very much!
