Freeze during slideshow

[plneappl]

Describe the bug Sometimes during slideshows, screen turns completely black and app no longer responds to inputs, neither "next", "previous" or android "back". Need to kill and relaunch app.

Don't know which file is responsible (folder has 3k items), but if you can tell me the filename from the log I can send it to you.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start slideshow on shuffle
2. After viewing many items, app stops responding

Expected behavior No crash

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look when I can.

What you could do in the meantime is to check whether it happens when you do a slideshow on 1) images only, or 2) videos only, 3) motion photos, etc. It's easy to filter the content in the slideshow, but if you need help just ask.

By the way, does it happen after a while, like a few seconds? 10 minutes? or completely randomly?

Could you take a look at this file on your device? content://media/external/video/media/1000017876

You can find it by ID, typing id=1000017876 in the Search page (or the title filter in the Collection page).

Is it special in any way? Could you start a slideshow on it and see whether it freezes?

Seems very random, I just had it happen on a shuffle slideshow of 250 files after just 3 or so files, then the next time I could view all 250 of them in another shuffle. the file seems just fine, I can start a slideshow on it and include it in the middle of one. Logs of the crash after a few files attached, will try just videos/photos next. aves-logs-20240209_074756.txt

just happened with just videos after about 10 or so, log attached aves-logs-20240210_204314.txt

then the next time I could view all 250 of them in another shuffle.

So it's not because of a specific file. Good to know.

And have you had the chance to try and reproduce the freeze with images only? In all 3 log files you provided, I see some suspicious video-related message before the app stops, but I don't know yet whether it's related.

Could you please also screenshot your settings in Settings > Viewer > Slideshow?

[plneappl]

I've tried only pictures a couple of times without it freezing up, so I'd wager about 80-90% chance that only videos are the problem :) screenshot of settings:

and thank you so much for looking into this!

[deckerst]

I see that you use a large interval (13 minutes). Does the app freeze happen also with small intervals? And do you go through videos that are shorter or longer than this interval?

[plneappl]

I can try, I've set it up like that so it doesn't auto advance. Videos are shorter than that

[deckerst]

Maybe I misunderstood. Does the freeze happen during a transition or while it's in the middle of the video? For example, you would start a slideshow with a 13 minutes interval, it would starting showing a video and freeze 5 minutes in?

[plneappl]

exactly at a transition, way earlier than 13min

[plneappl]

the one after a few items: open program start slideshow quickly tap next item after a few, it hangs

in like 1-2min

[plneappl]

maybe the timers for auto advancing videos aren't cancelled properly on transitioning?

[plneappl]

seems like it doesn't happen with 5s auto advance

[deckerst]

Ah, i see. You don't use the slideshow as a slideshow. That's why I was confused ^^

What you call auto-advance is the main point of a slideshow. It's supposed to be hands-off, going through the items automatically. You can indeed manually go to the previous or next item but it won't cancel the automatic slideshow. You can stop the automatic behaviour by bringing the overlay with a tap.

[plneappl]

Ah hm, I'm using it for shuffled viewing of my meme collection :) I think another reason for me setting it up like this was #803, which you fixed already, thank you for that! I guess the overlay is a workaround for now, but it'd be great if all this helps you find the root cause ;)

[plneappl]

still happens with the 5s auto advance when just viewing an album filtered by just videos, without slideshow, just regular order, but mostly after 200-300 entries

[deckerst]

"5s auto advance" and "without slideshow" are mutually exclusive so i don't understand what you mean.

[plneappl]

Ah, I meant "with 5s auto advance setting" using normal browse, having the overlay up. I assumed that view would also automatically advance, since its sort of the same view.
