Bug report
1

I have searched for existing threads about this problem

on

App version

3.1.2.3 / 3.1.2.0395 (APK Info) Beta

Android version

17 - Stock, not rooted

Device model

Pixel 9 Pro

Expected behaviour

Occasionally, skipping to the next track / podcast should consistently auto play the next tack / podcast.

Current behaviour

Occasionally, skipping to the next track / podcast moves to the next track but the track does not automatically play. Pressing Pause the Play starts the podcast. When I say it moves to the next track, the podcast image changes and the progress bar goes back to the start and current time goes to 00:00:00

It might be happening when there is less than 30 seconds to play. I am using the stock settings for fast Forward time (30s).

I play most everything from the Queue list and there is / was more podcasts to play,.

I think I found a way to reproduce reliably.

  • Listen to podcast, phone locked
  • As the end of the podcast arrives, unlock the phone (fingerprint)
  • Open / got to AntennaPod, which usually puts me in the Queue queue
  • Press skip track / podcast
  • The next track is brought and set to 00:00:00 but does not auto play
  • Double tap of the Pause / Play button and the expected track is played

I just reproduced the issue 4 times in a row. I don’t know if there are other paths that may lead to the same issue.

I understand that this is a weird workflow and just a force of habit. I don’t always follow the same path.

Hope this helps.
