The Jellyfin app on my Android phone runs normally when not connected to Android Auto.

But when AA takes over, and I run Jellyfin on AA's dashboard app list, it shows the screen below:

Doesn't seem like it is accepting any input. Is this an issue or have I missed a step?

Edit: problem solved. Or I should say there is no problem in the first place. Jellyfin AA simply only plays audio, and it doesn't support video playback period. My Jellyfin only has videos hence "no item" (no audio item).

OP here. I am only using Jellyfin only for videos, and for that, Fermata is actually a pretty good app to let you access Jellyfin via Android Auto to watch videos.

I am pretty sure Jellyfin AA works as it should (for audio only, which I did not know about) otherwise there would have been lots of posts on Reddit prior to the exodus...

I shouldn't watch videos on my car dashboard. But regarding audio... Jellyfin should work out of the box, why is it not working for you? have you found out the reason why that is happening ?
