Android Auto: Shuffle is enabled on every phone reconnection

Description

I have used vlc in Android auto during many hours in May and one time, I chose accidentally the option "mix all". Since then, everytime I reconnect my phone to the car, the option is enabled, even when I disabled it before disconnecting the phone. This seems like a very minor bug but since I was listing an audio book, I had to go back manually to the track where I stopped because vlc was jumping to a random part...

Expected behavior

Remember last selected shuffle state

Actual behavior

Shuffle always enabled on start

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open vlc in Android Auto
  2. Select mix all (or something similar, I'm using vlc in German)
  3. Disable shuffle
  4. Disconnect the phone from the car
  5. Reconnect the phone to the car and check if shuffle is enabled in vlc on Android Auto
