Personal comment: this is one of the few player that have folder support on Android Auto, and the only I found without any trackers (this is what AppManager say to me). If I understand correctly what I see from AppManager activities, it has google services dependency because it optionaly loads 2 split APK to replace the stock android MediaPlayer engine (vlc and exoplayer decoders that are here: https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata/blob/master/modules/).

I think it may follow the inclusion rules, but not sure about the gms dependency. It may even reach F-Droid if gms dep can be dropped?

Thank’s!
