![]() ![]() Why do my compilation albums show up as separate albums? This setting is recommended when many audio files on your USB drive do not have any/correct metadata or you never want to wait for indexing. You can only browse by directory or file and you can only play files found in a single directory. You will not be able to navigate nor search by track, album, artist. Off: With this setting metadata will not be extracted from audio files. This setting is recommended when you don’t care about metadata but still would like to play all files in a directory hierarchy. This setting will allow you to use “Play all” in any directory. This setting is recommended when you have many audio files on your USB drive but you do not change them very often.įile paths only: With this setting only the file paths on the USB drive will be indexed, no other metadata. You can start the indexing using the option “Read metadata now” in the settings screen. You should do this whenever you change files on the USB drive. ![]() Manually: Similar to above, but you have to start the indexing process by hand. This setting is recommended when you don’t have a lot of audio files on your USB drive. However it can still take multiple seconds with large music libraries. Thus this process should be much quicker than the first time. If not, it will take the information from the database. If the file has been modified since it was last indexed, it will re-read the metadata of that file. When connecting the same USB drive again, the app will again go through all directories and all files but will check the file modification date. This process will take some time (a couple of minutes for 10000 files). This information is written into a database stored in the car. When USB drive connected (default setting): When connecting a USB drive for the first time the app walks through all the directories on the USB drive and extracts metadata from all audio files. In version 1.1.5 and higher you can choose the desired behaviour of this process in the settings screen using the option “Read metadata”: Indexing means that the app will walk through all directories and extract the metadata from all files (i.e. When starting up the app with a USB flash drive connected, indexing will happen: Why does it take so long when starting the app? If you still have problems, try to to reboot the center display. The other USB ports are for charging your phone only. On Windows I recommend Rufus.Īlso make sure to plug the USB flash drive into the port in your car that is marked (usually in the front of the car, with a white outline). There are several tools available that you can download from the internet to format a drive using this filesystem. Do not use exFAT, do not use any other filesystem, it will not work. The app only supports USB flash drives formatted using FAT32 filesystem. If you are driving a Polestar or Volvo, make sure you use car software version 2.2 or higher, certain versions do not allow access to the USB data port. Please file a bug report at Volvo/Polestar to get this fixed.Īs far as I know, this issue does not appear when using the app on Renault and GMC cars. You can temporarily get rid of it by doing the steps I mentioned in issue #73 but it will come back after a headunit restart. This popup is triggered by Volvo/Polestar and is invalid, it always comes and can be ignored when using AudioWagon. Why is there a popup about “USB device is not supported” when the USB device works fine? I would provide help on how to integrate this code if Volvo/Polestar decides to use it. This would allow the user to select AudioWagon to be the default app for USB storage devices (it should not interfere with wired CarPlay). It works fine on the mobile phone that I use for development, however Volvo/Polestar probably put some extra security in the car that will always trigger this permission dialog popup and they likely would need to add some code from Google to improve this. Using the app Why does the permission popup appear each time? The “always open AudioWagon …” checkbox does not do anything!
