Stash v0.9.72
release: v0.9.72 — queue reliability overhaul + Android Auto playback fix
Queue (Now Playing / mini player / notification / Bluetooth):
- Rapid skipping always lands on the track you aimed for. With Repeat All
on, skipping 10+ tracks fast no longer snaps back to the first track
you skipped — the player now sees your whole queue instead of a small
rolling window, so Next/Previous/Repeat/Shuffle are exact on every
surface (on-screen, notification, media keys, Bluetooth, Android Auto). - Pause always works while a track is loading. The play button no longer
locks into a dead spinner during a slow stream resolve, and a stream
that can't resolve gives up after 45 seconds instead of hanging the
player forever. - Play Next and Add to Queue insert instantly — no more waiting out a
resolve (or losing tracks) when adding streaming songs. - Now Playing shows the real stream quality (FLAC / bit depth / source)
once a track resolves, instead of falling back to an "opus" label.
Android Auto (fix for "playlists open empty in the car" reports):
- Playlists now list their tracks on the car screen for synced and
streaming-first libraries. The old filter only trusted a "confirmed
streamable" flag, so every not-yet-downloaded synced track was
silently dropped — playlists showed a track count but opened empty. - Tracks actually play in the car, including streaming tracks: car items
previously carried an empty play URL unless the track was downloaded.
Streaming in the car uses the same just-in-time resolution as the
phone, with a hard timeout and error recovery for flaky cellular. - Car search results now load (the search-results permission was never
granted to the car), and Bluetooth/Auto resume works for streaming
tracks. - If your head unit still shows empty playlists on this version, please
report it — this surface can't be tested on our hardware, and logs
from a real car session would pinpoint anything remaining.
