Android version: 14 OS version: 5.10.198-android13-4-00050-g12f3388846c3-ab11920634
Device model: Pixel 7
Expected behaviour:
Be able to play podcasts, either downloaded or streamed.
Current behaviour:
The UI responds as if playback is started, the mini player shows up and the correct episode information is displayed, but the playback never starts and the Play/Pause button still is on play. There is no visible error messages displayed.
First occurred: (e.g. about x days/weeks ago)
Today
Steps to reproduce:
Open app
Go to either the queue or specific podcast page
Select an episode to play
Environment:
I have not changed any settings recently, and this happens regardless of using the phone’s built in speaker and/or Bluetooth headphones. I have tried the following steps to troubleshoot:
Sounds really weird… Maybe in your phone settings there is an audio settings specific to AntennaPod and it’s muted?
I know it’s unlikely but if you experience this problem only on AntennaPod it could be possible than somehow it has been messed up.
On my phone (android 14) I can turn on specific volume for apps. Then when changing volume there is a little icon which when tapped display apps using sound and it’s possible to modify it. (And to mute if you want to)
Yeah, I know this is an odd report. It’s not that the volume is muted or turned down the playback just never starts. To help show what I mean I recorded me trying to play something.
Then I would have thought it could be a download problem but your download seems to be working.
Maybe take a look to settings then open report a bug to see if there is any logs about something going wrong?
