Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I start driving in my car I want to start the playing with a podcast playlist with unlistened episodes instead of selecting one specific episode from a podcast.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would be nice to have access to a playlist of the unlistened episodes.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried to create a playlist, but I did not have access to it via Android Auto.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (May 20, 2023):
This would be like the "Latest" tab right? I think adding the latest tab to android auto is a good idea.
@update-freak commented on GitHub (May 21, 2023):
yes, adding the "Latest" tab to Android Auto would be great.
@aureateflux commented on GitHub (Nov 28, 2023):
Except the "latest" tab sorts in reverse chronological order; there should at least be a way to change the sort of the list.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 28, 2023):
Wouldn't that be "oldest"?
@aureateflux commented on GitHub (Nov 29, 2023):
Uhh 🤔 let's see if I can get my diectics in a row here 😂
By reverse chronological order, I meant that —from top to bottom— it sorts newest to oldest. To me, chronological order should sort from oldest to newest (in the order they were published), placing the first item in the most accessible spot at the top of the list. It's entirely referential though!
Display order and play order should be selectable if this is intended to work like a queue across all subscribed podcasts.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 29, 2023):
The latest page is sorted by the pub date set on the episode, same as an RSS feed would. The most recent pub date will be on the top. Maybe your episodes don't have a pub date?
@aureateflux commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2023):
OP asked for a playlist functionality in Android auto to play latest episodes without having to select each one.
I was trying to point out that the option to choose play order would be important to that feature to make it relevant to both use cases of playing the episodes starting with the oldest episode (chronological order) and starting with the newest episode (reverse chronological order).

I gave this a try at https://github.com/burned42/audiobookshelf-app/tree/android_auto_add_recent_episodes (mostly out of curiosity to see if I would be able to do it).
This adds a tab to the android auto view similar to the 'latest' tab on the normal app view.
However, I haven't worked with this code base, kotlin or android studio at all before this. So while this seems to work fine for me, it might not cover all use cases the app offers and is probably also not up to the coding standards of kotlin or this project, so at this moment I'd rather not open a PR for this branch.
But maybe/hopefully someone with more experience can take this as a base/inspiration to integrate this feature :)

I can implement this once #1322 gets merged. I could also add paging for podcast episodes and order selection.
@LexManos commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2025):
Hello, since this is still open and #1322 has been merged, figured i would second this request.
My use case is driving and wanting to easily listen to pending podcasts.
Currently pressing the big "next episode" button plays the most recently released episode.
Ideally it would respect sort order akin to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/pull/4035
My specific case the "next" would be the oldest episode that hasn't been listened to.
It'd also be nice if it auto queued the next episode. But that isnt too bad if the big button plays the one i expect.
