Anyone else notice tapping on the album art no longer cycles thru the 3 modes of media display (small,mid, full)? I tapped and tapped. It just stared back at me like I was an idiot. Now I have to swipe to change. I don’t know if this is a new “feature”, but I consider it a setback. I don’t like the dexterity required for swiping while driving…. I even tried a reboot, just in case

To answer myself....a little google-fu yielded confirmation on reddit that it's broken now.

What album art, there is none.

It looks like a design change- you can still swipe it vs. tap it and it will move up/down the positions. You can also swipe up/down the Music icon itself to again adjust the size up and down. I'm mixed, I got used to the single-tap too. But there were also many times when I was reaching to adjust something and hit a bump or something and I'd tap the thing up vs. hitting what I was trying to select... so that won't happen anymore, which is nice

I agree that it might be a design change. I'm just not a fan. I used the tap every.single.drive. That was me and I'll adjust, but not a fan of "swipe" on the big screen, especially while driving. Just more smudges to clean off the screen too

Bug with this .7 firmware:

I was on wifi and listening to Spotify. I launched the Youtube theater app and Spotify didn't cut out automatically like usual. When Youtube launched and I was thinking it'd mix the audio from both Spotify and Youtube, but it only had music from Spotify. I couldn't use the left thumb button to mute audio so something was broken.

I exited Youtube and was able to mute Spotify with the left thumb button. Spotify seemed a bit flaky and music was got distorted. I disconnected from wifi, launched Youtube, and things were fine.

This has never happened previously on any other firmware and was the first time on .7.

One other note:

The .7 firmware remembers more of your settings or last selection such as
- Theater vs Arcade
- Backup camera with or without side cameras

So sick of this update. Main backup camera hasn’t worked once since the update!!

The annoying part for me is that I can't tap on the music icon to bring the menu up (lower, half way, or full screen), nor can I double click to minimize it. All I can do is drag it up or down which is slower and more annoying.

Anybody else seeing this?

The tap is back with 24.4.
