Skipping to next in queue delayed 10 to 20 seconds

App version: about says 3.7.0 but I am sure I updated to 7.0
Android version: 11 no custom rom
Device model: sm a50
Expected behaviour:
When I hit skip button during play it should immediately skip to next in queue episode or go to the end and stop if the queue is empty.
Current behaviour: When I hit skip button during play, it skips with up to 20 seconds delay.

Hello. I’ve noticed that when I try to skip to the next podcast in the queue by pressing the skip button, I have to wait anywhere from 5 to even 20 seconds for it to switch. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix? I’m on Android 11. I tried rolling back to older versions, and the issue only disappears with version 2.7.1, which dates back to 2022.

Hi,
The episode that you are trying to skip to is downloaded or being streamed. If its the latter, maybe it because it takes a while to start downloading the episode an get enough cache to be able to play without pauses, like when you start playing. Otherwise please let us know so we can try in different devices and with different feeds
