App version: 3.11.0
Android version: LineageOS 23.2 / Android 16
Device model: Google Pixel 4 XL
Expected behaviour: After hitting play, podcast will play until they finish, I pause/stop, or pause/stop when I want based on settings; e.g., bluetooth disconnect.
Current behaviour: Podcasts will play for a few minutes and then stop. If i turn the screen on they will play for a few moments and stop again. after stopping, sometimes they random start playing again for little bursts. it startles me. but mostly they just stop.
First occurred: ~08 Feb 2026 when Lineage went from 23 > 23.2.
Steps to reproduce:
- Download a podcast, hit the play button.
Environment: i download everything, don’t stream. not happening with other apps; e.g., Music Player which is also playing local media. speaker or bluetooth, happens with every podcast, airplane mode, wifi on/off still happens. definitely started after upgrading to 23.2. antennapod has full access to my battery. i forced stop, reinstalled, toggled all notifications settings, etc. nothing fixed.
AntennaPod doesn’t seem to recognize it as a crash/bug. Bug report just gives system info but i’ll include.
