Hello dear hudiy team,

i may have found a bug in the new version (2.20). If i play music via Autobox, the album is shown for the first song in hudiy mediaplayer and via api. If i go to the next/previous track the album disapears from hudiys mediaplayer and is empty ("") via api. If i restart hudiy it works again for the first track and stops working

Bluetooth is working fine. Tested with hudiy 2.20 and carlinkit CPC200-CCPA (with recent firmwareupdate 2025.10.15 1127) and CPC200-Autokit (with older firmware 2023.06.02 1720)

Could you check that maybe?

Hello,
We just checked on the CCPA and Autokit dongles with two iPhones and Spotify, and the covers are working properly. There were also no changes related to covers in the latest version. Could it be an issue with the music app you are using? Does the same problem occur on other apps as well?

Hi, I meant album (text) not the Coverart

All song metadata played in CarPlay appears to be available (Spotify, iOS 26.6.2 and iOS 15.8.6).

Do you see the album text on the screen or in the API for a moment before it goes blank (which would suggest that the album text is being incorrectly overwritten) or is it blank from the beginning of song playback?

Hudiy generally forwards whatever it receives from the dongle (there is no logic behind this functionality). It is possible that CarPlay did not send the album information to the dongle or the dongle itself did not send this data to Hudiy.

I am still getting the same result even with a fresh install. Didn't have a stick with an older hudiy version. Do you have any commands to install a specific hudiy version?

After a hudiy restart i can see the album from the same song where it wasn't shown before:

Same on hudiy 2.16, 2.18 and 2.20 :-/

-Carlinkit CPC200-CCPA (with recent firmwareupdate 2025.10.15 1127)
-CPC200-Autokit (with older firmware 2023.06.02 1720).
-Apple iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 26.6.2
-Spotify

Sometimes the album is gone when the next track is being played, sometimes just after some songs.

I will retest that with iOS 27 next days. If you have any more tips or need some logs, i can send you that one.
