1 year ago Looking at their logs, it looks like we're getting a call from the Android media controller to stop playback after the download is finished. For example, here you can see that when the download is finished we stopped playback because of "Event from Media Session to stop", and the user then almost immediately tapped play to continue playback (this is why I think this is probably an instance of the bug).

I do see in these logs that we somehow go from reporting that the episode has been downloaded when we're "opening" it after it is downloaded to the episode not being downloaded when we then "play" the now-opened episode. I think this is just an issue with the logs though and not related to the issue this user is seeing because I also see those same logs (first downloaded then not downloaded even though it is downloaded) when I unsuccessfully try to recreate the issue on my device.
This is a shot in the dark, but I wonder if they might be using Android Auto because some cars can sometimes send some unexpected events.

Description
We've had a user (6677308-zd-a8c) report that playback is getting stopped for them when downloading a playing episode is completed. I can't recreate this, but I want to log this to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
It sounds like this is a change in behavior for them because it didn't use to happen.
We've had a few people try to recreate this without any success.
