Find the settings allow to set playback speed but this makes no difference.

Kind regards

Hi Terry,

The playback speed requires another program to be installed in order for it to work.     The company which provided the speed module is out of business (I believe.)   http://www.aocate.com/

CarCast is no longer in active development, I recommend finding another podcast player.

Cheers

I love CarCast and have been a Pro user for years.  I've noticed that since Android 12, CarCast is not able to use Bluetooth AVRCP functionality. I'm using Android 12, security patch 8/1/2022.

I used to be able to tap the FFwd button on my Bluetooth speaker or car stereo to skip 30 seconds forward through commercials embedded in my podcasts, but now the phone is not responsive to those remote commands when using CarCast Pro and it does not skip forward. 

I've verified that the AVRCP command set works with other audio player apps like VLC so I don't think it's a phone or Android issue. I've tried all the different versions of AVRCP (1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6) but none work with Carcast. I can still skip 30 seconds forward on my phone's screen but when I'm driving I need to hit the Fwd button on my car stereo for compliance with hands-free laws.

I know this is a very first-world problem but you've spoiled me with CarCast and I really miss it's defining feature so I thought I'd ask for your help to see if this functionality could be restored. 

Possibly your biggest fan,

Hi.    Yea, the Bluetooth stuff isn't working.    I also find it sucks to have to use the on-screen controls.    

Unfortunately, I haven't done anything with Android in a few years, so getting back up to speed on getting CarCast working with the latest system would require a lot of effort.

I've been trying to use the google podcast application as of late.   It is reasonable.

Sorry
