Tune-In radio app

[Sootchucker]

Does anyone on here use the TuneIn radio app in their car for internet radio either the Android version (though Android Auto) or the Apple version (though Apple CarPlay) ?

I have been using it for about 18 month now (on AA) with no issues, but I've noticed this week that all the stations I listen to have stopped displaying album artwork and now just shown the radio station logo's instead ? I've also plugged my work Iphone in and tried it though CarPlay, and it's exactly the same ?
 

Anyone else experience this or just me ?

An old thread of mine, but I thought I'd post a reply in case anyone else is suffering from this. After contacting tune-in radio via their email address and also a few of the radio stations affected, they both said the issue wasn't at their end.

I then started to look at what may have caused it and the only other thing was Android Auto app itself. It seems from the history that it upgraded itself from Version 4.9.594934 to 4.9.594938 back on December 12th (about when the issues started). I managed to uninstall AA and then reinstall the last known working version (4.9.594934) and bingo, everything went back to working with all the track album art showing across all stations I listen to.

For the time being I've disabled auto update on my phone to ensure it doesn't suddenly reinstall the non working version again, but hopefully in the near future AA will fix the issue and issue a new update.

Well done.

Seconded, and thank you for taking the time and trouble to post your solution. 😃

Welcome to the joy of continuous lifecycle software that gets updated without your consent, release notes or ability to easily roll back.

At least this is only a minor niggle - I lost a whole factory assembly line to this witchcraft.
