Started happening very recently so last update at a guess.
App Version: 3.1.0 (91d5238f0) from Play Store
Android version: 13
Device model: Pixel 6a
Expected behaviour: resumes playing when play button pressed in sticky controls
Current behaviour: stick controls show playing but it never plays - when the app is opened the controls are still paused. Sticky controls only work after resuming play in the app itself first.
First occured: recently, in the last week sometime?
Steps to reproduce:
open a podcast and pause it.
Close the app.
Try to resume playing using sticky controls in stat bar.
Environment: using Bluetooth headphones, car Bluetooth adapter, and without Bluetooth, behaviour is the same. Changes to default settings: default start page when app opened, auto download off for all but one podcast.
Have not yet tried reinstalling but will do so shortly.
When you say “stick controls” are you meaning when it’s in the notification area? I’m guessing yes but wanted to clarify.
I generally don’t control media playback via the notification area but I’m seeing similar behavior when using the widget which is usually how I control playback. I will press play on the widget and the widget changes from the pause icon to the play icon but playback doesn’t start and when I go into the app it still shows paused there.
Thanks for clarifying, I was mostly wanting to make sure I was understanding what you meant by “sticky”. Sounds like it’s the persistent media control in what I call the notification area/bar and you are calling the stat bar.
