8.0 Music Player Unusable

[supratachophobia]

Do we even want to know why a media player is in the shower with you?

Reading TMC?

When else does he have time to keep up with the Bjorn videos?

Add another complaint to this horrific new interface. Slacker songs stopping 30 seconds before the end consistently? Also, left/right scrolling is one of the worst ideas imaginable.

What are the Winamp employees up to right now? According to Wikipedia, the Rio Empeg employees are down in Austin, TX working for SigmaTel. You pair those two groups up to do the media player and prepare to have your socks knocked clean off.

Good to know I'm not the only one who knows what a Rio Empeg is!

Don't worry that problem also happens with Spotify. You can fix it by doing a factory reset but I gave up on doing that when I was doing a daily reset because the Spotify problem recurs daily

Terrible! Still jealous that you have Spotify though.

I guess this will be the true test to see if all of BertL's work paid off: Elon: "Several UI improvements across the board in 8.01 (next few weeks) and 8.1 in Dec." • /r/teslamotors

 

[supratachophobia]

I should note that I've never heard Elon publicly refer to an incremental release as granular as .01.....

8.0 has been perfect for me. I guess one size doesn't fit all, but this size fits me
I like the map getting more screen space and don't find it too burdensome to tap once to bring back icons.
I love the new media interface, but then I don't use USB media.
Seems most people would be satisfied if Tesla just:
1. Made the icon auto-hide optional.
2. Fixed the USB scan slowness and lack of alphabet selection.

I just saw this thread - 2.x TPMS - file your complaint and lets get it recalled.

If people are saying the 8.0 media player is posing a safety issue why don't we all file a complaint to the NHTSA and force Tesla to do something about it instead of all the complaints sending to deaf ears?

LOL, I call to your attention every after-market head unit ever made.
If they've avoided the ire of the NHTSA I think Tesla is safe...

For those ready for a challenge taking on another of my long posts (a great time to break out a cool one before you dive in)... this time I offer an under-the-covers view of USB with 2.42.40... some things that were solved (yeah!), a few things that are different, and unfortunately some new warts for those wondering what's going on with certain track display and playback sequences, and only some albums seeming to have had their tracks merged if you access them the right -- or is that wrong -- way.

Confirming your results now. Check your pms

Got update last night, much improved.
1 now has alphabetical scroll on right hand side
2 remembers if you were previously in shuffle mode
3 doesn't automatically turn on when you open the door

2.42.40 must have broke it for me.... my USB 256gb SSD has caught the bug! At first it reloaded every few days or so, now it seems to be constantly. Since it has 18,000 songs on it, it takes about 50 minutes to load - you guessed it: I almost never get to use it as it is always reloading. Also, my music comes on as I open the door. I don't think it was on while I was out of the car though.

I did take the time to re-boot the main screen first before I loaded it the first time.

Couldn't pin it down as to what might be causing it, so I tried using another brand/type of SS drive thinking that might be the cause - no joy! I guess I have to hope that 8.1 will fix it.

Any ideas?

Rescans after parking are now back for me with 2.48.16

 

[Boatguy]

I have 2.48.16 and a 480GB SSD. No rescans in the first couple of days so not sure it's specifically a 2.48.16 issue.

I just find I hardly ever use the media now.

I'm not really one for complaining about this sort of thing and tend to just get used to the interface but ..

The auto-hiding top menu means I have to press additional buttons just to get to the media which with the interface delays I really dont like
The spotify is so heavily compressed that the SQ really is poor
The UHFS is not exactly stellar in the first place
the voice commands are flaky at best and you cant switch sources or at least not that I can make work eg "Select USB/Radio etc"
my USB stick - new + newly formatted Sandisk has to be unplugged every time and replugged back in to work

not a stellar experience really. I just have to hope Tesla continue to work on this and future updates will offer improvements.

You could try a reset to default factory settings, annoying but it has helped with some of these issues for me.
