App crashes randomly #9358

Closed OldGuyInTheClub closed 9 months ago

OldGuyInTheClub commented 1 year ago

Checklist

Affected version

0.24.1 (but also saw in 0.24)

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Start App
  2. Wait or navigate through subscriptions, select video, etc.
  3. Eventually App will crash with a Guru Meditation error
  4. Restarting app will cause the same crash within 10-15 seconds thereafter

UPDATED 6 August 2023 with v0.25.2

  1. Have app running on Wifi
  2. Move out of Wifi range, switch to cellular data
  3. Wait a varying amount of time
  4. a)Whether a video is playing or not, whether the app is foreground or not, the app will crash with a Guru Meditation error OR b) Reload subscriptions or otherwise interact with the app: Sometimes (but not all) app will crash with a Guru Meditation error

or

  1. Put phone on Airplane Mode, leave it as such for a few hours
  2. Take it out of Airplane Mode, connect to the cellular network
  3. See steps 3 and 4 above

Change in behavior: Guru Meditation error no longer goes into infinite loop. Still steals focus as always but it is possible to swipe dismiss the app and restart. Usually it will work for a while after one or two restarts and then the problem happens again

Expected behavior

App used to work great. Started having this problem with 0.24. Hoped 0.24.1 would fix it but didn't

Actual behavior

Regular crashes

Screenshots/Screen recordings

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 12 4.14.190 - stock, no custom ROM, no root

Affected device model

Samsung Galaxy S10+, US T Mobile

Additional information

Closest relevant recent Open Issue is https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/9163 but my problem doesn't happen immediately on startup.
Closest Closed Issue is https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/9339 but afaik, there isn't a fix (looked at other referenced Issues)

Steps tried.

  1. Quickly backed up database before a crash
  2. Deleted cache and data
  3. Restarted app
  4. Problem still there
  5. Deleted cache and data again
  6. Uninstalled app
  7. Reinstalled 0.24.1 from the Newpipe website
    • Checked F-Droid to see if there was a version there but there wasn't
  8. Restored database
  9. Problem still there

Delay between app start and crash not perfectly reproducible. Occasionally it will be stable for a few minutes but once a crash happens, it will repeat 10-15 seconds after every restart for some time after which it will be stable for a little while before starting the quick crash pattern

Problem is not affected by VPN state

Weak correlation with signal strength: Wifi connections appear to take longer between crashes relative to cellular network. Can't prove it. Just an observation.

I don't have the tools or skill to get any bug report beyond the Guru Meditation dump provided in the Logs box

Will do. Will get back to you in a couple of days.

OldGuyInTheClub commented 11 months ago

@AudricV I am very encouraged! I've used your APK for 48+ hours and I can go from home wifi to the cellular network, drive around far enough to switch to multiple towers, go in and out of airplane mode, and so far no crashes.

I backed up my NewPipe data and imported it into this version.

If it's ok with you, I'd like to monitor it for a few more days just to be sure.

@AudricV I've installed your test build last night, and this morning I once again got the did not then call Service.startForeground() error a minute into a video.

@annervisser Could you provide the complete stack trace of the corresponding crash which should happen when closing the player, according to similar reports?

@AudricV ~Most of the time it never actually crashes and so I don't get a stacktrace.~ After trying a couple of times (I'm able to reproduce this quite easily), I got a trace:

I screen recorded it, in case that's of any help:

@annervisser FWIW, I tried your steps several times but did not get any crashes although my config may be different from yours. I had to turn off screen rotate to get the fullscreen button to appear. The back gesture (swipe) didn't work so I used the back arrow at the bottom of the screen instead.

Galaxy S10+, OneUI, Android 12.4.14.190, last s/w update September 8, 2023

@AudricV No crashes after two more days. I think you've fixed it for me, at least.

If the patch is not accepted for whatever reason into the next release, is there anything I can do on the phone side to prevent this problem? Maybe there is a Developer setting, configuration change, or something else to set?

Zumux commented 11 months ago

I was also having this issue. Looks like the build provided by @AudricV seems to solve the problem though. Hope now that it's solved it gets fixed in the next release.

OldGuyInTheClub commented 11 months ago

The fix also resolved two other problems I was having: 1) Partially viewed videos would usually not restart. Now, they do. I can resume watching videos even after many days 2) Search terms are remembered. Newpipe search always worked but for a long time, my search terms would not appear in the history. Now, I have a complete record.

TobiGr commented 11 months ago

That lools like you've disabled search and watch history in the settings. Can you check that for us, please?

OldGuyInTheClub commented 11 months ago

Settings -> History and Cache:

Watch history, Resume playback, Positions in lists, and Search history are enabled in both Newpipe 25.2 and @AudricV's Debug version.

Added thoughts: To clarify, I have had a long list of searches in my history for a while. At some point, my new searches didn't get saved to the history. I don't remember when it started happening but it was not a big deal so I ignored it. With the debug version, new searches are logged to the search history.

Speculation: When the software was crashing, perhaps things like new search entries got dropped because files that would have/should have gotten updated did not?

Regarding resuming playback, I filed this Feature Request a long time ago to get around the problem https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/4574 The inability to resume was identified as a problem to be fixed vs. creating a workaround. This debug version appears to have addressed it.

Disconnecting a Bluetooth device (headphones) after killing the app while a video was playing may be a factor in this, not sure but it just happened to me (on 0.25.2)
