If MMA is in v1.3.3.0825 then it should work. If you are using this version and this feature still not work, then there must be some other issue on the OS side. "Samsung Music" can have some privileges. To confirm it you can check whether it works with "Google Music".

I can confirm the same issue with Samsung s8 and Android 8.0.0 with the latest beta.
With Google music song informations are transferred correctly.

With my Samsung s5 Android 6.0 and latest beta all song informations are transferred correctly.

Seems to be an Android 8 issue?

All titles displayed in the car audio display are from track queue, which was already supported on MMA in the earlier version than 1.3.2.823.

In 1.3.2.823 was added browsing by albums/genres/Artists/Playlists for those BT devices, which support it.

I really don't know what causes the difference between Google Music and MMA, but all requirements to support it are already implemented.
I have tested it with AndroidAuto and it works, with BT device it should be same. Maybe some Samsung restriction/bug with Oreo system.
Do you have any other device for testing?

Doesn't seem to be working for me on a OnePlus 6 either.

I get Playlist, Artists, Albums etc. listed (which I didn't get before) but pressing any of these does nothing. Seems to work fine with Google Play Music.

This is really strange because you are getting a list of root nodes like "Play all shuffle", "Playlists", "Genres", "Artists", "Albums".
Except "Play all shuffle" all others are browsable items, but MMA gets an event like from "playable" items.
I can see the event from "Playlists", can you confirm that "Genres", "Artists", "Albums" are not browsable too?

Just to add my confirmation; MMA ver 1.3.2.0824 does not support browsing over BT (Samsung S8 on Android 8.0) with a car head unit that supports AVRCP 1.4.
Google Play music does work but BubbleUPnP does not work either.

None of them are browsable. MMA restarts and automatically sends a bug report. You must have 30+ from my phone now. No difference with the latest MMA update.

Do you think it is because it is a OP6 with only internal storage?

Google Play Music works fine, I can browse artists playlists etc.

I have specified an additional flag FOLDER_TYPE for root items to build 1.3.3.0828. So we will see whether it will help.
If not I have also added new option "Disable mix content over BT" in Developer Options (You will get there via Options\About MediaMonkey\tap to MediaMonkey icon). To take effect this option maybe you will have to reconnect BT device, then you will get only browsable items like "Playlists", "Genres" etc. without "Play all shuffle" action.

Thanks

I'll give that a try, but OnePlus have just released Android Pie for the OP6 and on first impressions it has gone backwards - the list of Albume, Artists, Genres etc. doesn't even dispay anymore, I just get multiple rows of '...' instead.

I haven't tried with Play Music yet as I have only just updated to Android 9.0

Pie upgrade most likely changed Storage IDs that can cause the problems with cached data and library path links.

If Browsing by Folders you can play tracks then most likely that is the case

I can report back that the 0828 update has fixed this and for the first time the browsing of playlists, genres etc. works. I had disabled the play all shuffle in the developer options, I'll enable it and see if that works as well.

Would be nice to have the Now Playing list available as well over BT.

Further to the above, if I deselect Disable Mix Content over BT, I don't get any sub menus at all. Re-select it, disconnect from BT, reconnect, and sub menus are back and functional.
