Revise Player view to work better in split screen
Player view doesn't work well in split screen
Could the resizing (in the car mode Player) be adapted to make the controls more accessible, even when resized for split screens.
In landscape (split screen with phone in portrait - as it is in most car mounts), the album art is so large that the once-giant buttons are very difficult to see and access.
In portrait (split screen with phone in landscape - which is much less common), the controls are much better, but the album art is tiny.
(Screenshots of full screen mode, plus split screen (on Oreo) in both portrait and landscape, for comparison.)

Next version of the app (v2022.8) will improve the layout display in split window mode

Part of this could also be making the player view aware of whether you're in split screen mode or not. Normally, I have the player in Car mode when full screen (landscape) as I prefer the larger player control buttons. However, when I split screen the app in Car mode, the controls don't show up well, so I then have to change to the default/normal view, where I can still access the player control buttons. Note that this is on a 7" Android head unit mounted in my vehicle.
