Apple recently allowed users to watch videos from a host of apps on CarPlay while being parked, and that\u2019s something still missing on Android, even though the majority of users demand it. And while it\u2019s possible to watch YouTube videos with some tinkering, there\u2019s some unfortunate news for people either planning to or already taking that treacherous route.<\/p>\n<p>Fermata Xtream, a modified version of one of the most popular media-playing apps for Android Auto, is going away. Developer malebuffy recently announced this move via a Reddit post, saying they were calling it quits. No reasons were shared for this move, apart from saying \u201cI will not be able to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The app still remains\u00a0accessible via GitHub, though it\u2019s impossible to say how long the features will remain usable for people.<\/p>\n<p>The app builds on the standard version of Fermata Auto, one of the two most promising apps for casting media to Android Auto. As the name suggests, it allows users to connect their profiles for Xtream, an IPTV app of the same name.<\/p>\n<p>The app has been developed as closed-source due to an unauthorized rip-off being sold without permission. However, the developer mentions they have plans to share resources for others to rebuild the app, \u201cbut not for now.\u201d We\u2019ll see and let you know how that pans out.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
