Play/pause on Bluetooth "timeout"

App version: 3.5.0 (Google Play)

Android version: 14
(OxygenOS 14)

Device model:
OnePlus 10 Pro 5G

Expected behaviour:
Possible to resume listening even after some minutes pause

Current behaviour:
Play button on Bluetooth headphones does not resume playing if waiting some minutes.

First occurred: have never worked since I migrated from Google podcast to Antenna.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Connect Bluetooth headphones
  2. Start listening to podcast
  3. Pause podcast with the Bluetooth headphones
  4. Wait a few minutes. Usually 2 minutes is enough, but the time differs a bit from time to time.
  5. Try resume playing with button on Bluetooth headphones

Environment: Auto Download on wifi. Episode refresh every hour. Bluetooth headphones with play/pause button.

I am not sure if this is by design, or some kind of issue, but around 2 minutes “timeout” for Bluetooth resume is too short time.
Instead another media player picks up the play and starts to play something different.
Seems like the “widget player” cannot resume playing either when first trying to resume on Bluetooth headphones. Nothing happens.
