Podcasts does not do continuous playback of show if selected via Carplay library.

When starting a show from the carplay library screen of the Apples podcasts app, the behaviour is not the same as starting from the library screen in the phone. In the phone it will add all the un-played episodes to the play list, but via the carplay screen it only adds that 1 episode. When it finishes it tries to play a completely different show. So the next episode has to be selected manually. If the podcast is started from the phone with the un-played episodes in the up-next list then the carplay will work through the list as normal.


I have Continuous playback turned on, it is just a difference between carplay and the phone, this is annoying as I mainly listen to podcasts in the car, so I am starting a show from the carplay screen, and it seems less safe to have to always navigate back to the show or library screen in carplay every time an episdode ends.


Is there a fix for this ?
