Thanks. Now it consistently shows the rating button.
Will it be possible to provide a setting to show either the rating or the shuffle button?

Hi,
the initial layout without the rating button is wrong and it's caused by the enabled option "Always respond remote buttons ".
I'm gonna fix it in the next build (no ETA yet), however, if you don't want to wait you can disable this option to fix the issue immediately.

The issue is tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=20998

I'm using version 2.0.0.1173.
For me, the ideal scenario is to have the shuffle button so that it's easier and safer to toggle shuffle on/off while driving.

Strange, I only see the Rating button, Shuffle is in the 3 dot button. It seems like it's a bug that Shuffle is shown initially. Which Build of MMA are you using?

Sorry, can't figure out how to post image...

When player is first launched:

When any button has been pressed:

I see it on the playback screen in Android Auto.
It works perfectly fine when using mobile phone.

What screen do you see the Shuffle button on?

Trying to use MediaMonkey with Android Auto.
When the player is launched, the shuffle button appears at the bottom left corner.
However, once any button is pressed, it changes into the rating button.
Is there a way to retain the shuffle button?
