Make Podcast Work with Android Auto
There is a bug with some cars using Android Auto where emojis in the podcast title or description cause the unit to crash. We can make the feed compatible with Android Auto by removing the emojis.
-
Find the RSS feed.
The RSS feed is usually under the "Subscribe" option of a podcast and can be found with the RSS icon: - Copy the RSS link and save it for later.
- From the Minicast dashboard, select "Add New Podcast".
- Give the main feed a title and add the RSS URL. Be sure "Include all episodes and fix Android Auto compatibility" is checked.
This will automatically make a mini-cast that has all of the episodes of the main podcast, the same poster image, but also removes all emojis from the feed for the player. - You will be directed to a new Minicast with Android Auto fixed.
