This beloved Android Auto app now lets you send videos from your phone to your car

The developer of Xtream Player has released an update (v1.6.0) that includes several new features: a Winamp-inspired visualizer with nine styles available to all users, the ability to send videos from a smartphone to a car (currently experimental), automatic playback resumption after phone calls, and hidden in-page controls for a cleaner interface. Premium users receive additional benefits, such as the app remembering the last visualization used and support for official MilkDrop and libprojectM visualizers. Xtream Player v1.6.0 can be downloaded from GitHub or the Fermata Xtream website.

This sideloaded Android Auto app is my favorite way to watch YouTube and browse the web in my car

Xtream Player is a sideloaded Android Auto application that offers stable YouTube access and web browsing capabilities, outperforming previous apps like Fermata Auto and Screen2Auto. It allows users to connect to platforms like Plex, access phone folders, view images, and stream internet radio. The app features fluid swipe navigation and a responsive on-screen keyboard, enabling users to log into their YouTube accounts for personalized content. However, it has a quirky user interface and some glitches, such as a persistent pop-up related to video playback safety. Xtream Player originated as a fork of Fermata Auto and requires users to enable Developer Mode on their Android devices for installation. Users must grant extensive permissions for the app to function properly, raising potential privacy concerns. Official YouTube support for Android Auto is expected later this year.
