[Issue]: Audio doesn't autoplay on Android App

asbestinuS commented 1 year ago

Please describe your bug

Hello, I have a problem with Jellyfin using an android phone. If I start to play a mp3-file and press the off-button to let the music play in the background, it plays it without issue, but at the end 99% of the time the playback just stops. No error, the playback is stuck at the end. Sometimes it will switch to the next track in the playlist, but only like 1 time out of 15. If I "reopen" the app I can just play it again or just choose a different track. Playing the same track or playlist on a Windows machine with a browser works flawlessly, 100% of the time. I tried reinstalling the app, doens't work. I tried using an external player like VLC, same behaviour. I can not say why it works a few times. I tried shuffle, I tried Instant Mix, I tried enabling shuffle in the created playlist, no dice.

It maybe started after updating my Ubuntu VM, but I don't know when it started, in the beginning I hadn't that issue and I use jellyfin a few months now already. I did completely delete my music libraries at one point, shuffled the media around, created folders, subfolders, added and remove tags, combined artists, you know sorting the music library and stuff. I then created new libraries (not a single one like I had before) and kept a few folders out of the library. Also, I purposely deactivated every single Metadata downloader for this library, I don't want jellyfin to shuffle my music around too much as I created non existing album folders and stuff to get around the problem how jellyfin handles Singles (ripped radio tracks, painstakingly adding manual mp3tags)

However, because I have no problems playing with my browser on a desktop (haven't tried using the browser on Android yet) I don't think that my problem has anything to do with the metadata.

I don't know what to do, what the problem is. Can someone help me, please? Thanks in advance

Hey! I didn't even know that there is an android app github (I really have problems understanding the whole github thing). I thought my issue was deleted. I didn't get any notification via mail. However, I searched the issue thread and found a possible solution from @pouncer29 https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-android/issues/948 "Setting power usage to allow background data and setting optimized battery usage to "not optimized" seems to have fixed this for me."

I also can confirm, that seems to have fixed my issue. I just listened to 4 songs in a row yeah. Autoplay now works again. I remeber setting it to optimized at one point, but I can't remember for the live of me why I did that. Issue resolved, thank you!

I also encountered a similar situation. It works fine on the browser and TV side, but the next song cannot be played automatically on the mobile phone. After changing the power saving policy to unlimited, it works fine.

Can this be optimized, like YT Music, Spotify, SoundCloud etc work on devices?

I still have this issue.

This should not be closed - as it persists and there's no information about setting this to unrestricted.

If I weren't a developer, I would have just set 1 star review on the app in the store.

Could we, as engineers, not assume that everyone is an engineer and is going to be looking at CLOSED issues in GitHub?
