Fatal exception in the master branch code

The issue occurs almost randomly.

Thanks for reporting this. We also noticed the problems and are fully aware of them. We made some changes to the handling of the serviceconnection between the UI and the PlaybackService and a few safety checks are still missing.

We'll fix this in time.

Also we do not encourage users to use the master branch as we tend to make changes that can break something which is unavoidable for some changes ;).

I'm aware that the master branch is to develop and that cannot be stable, my only wanted to make a report in case you are not experiencing this issue ;)

Thanks for the answer and for the great app (I think the only one that has many features and no dependence on libraries outside the Android project) 👍
