StewieGreen 159 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I'm having the same issue. It'll play 2 songs and then stop until I unlock the phone, then the next song plays right away. Samsung galaxy 7 Android 8
WalkingHat 3 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I'm having this same problem on my Galaxy note 8 on android 8.0.0.
amura11 4 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I know Luke and others are looking into this but I didn't realize this thread was here so I wasted a bunch of time trying to get logs songs switching while the device was locked. I've attached the logs I got, I'm not sure if they'll really be any help but better than just tossing them. I have some development experience with Android, if you have a general idea of where the issue is happening I could try taking a look when I have a chance, Emby-SongSwitchFail.txt Emby-SongSwitchSuccess1.txt Emby-SongSwitchSuccess2.txt
Joe Farmer 2 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I have found what I believe is a temporary and simple workaround to the problem. Simply download an app such as No Screen Off (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.k2.no.screen.off) and when activated it will stop your screen from turning off (obviously) and therefore stop your phone from going to sleep keeping your music playing. Only drawback is that your battery will be drained quicker as your screen will be permanently on. 1

ghost2015 1 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Not good idea to have screen turned on permanently.... This doesn't help when you drive a car and need to navigation software... music stops even when screen turned on and emby is in background Today I noticed that this happens not only with the network data but also with the content that was synchronized with my smartphone.

Hmmm not an ideal workaround then. I haven't driven anywhere I need GPS so hadn't tested Emby in the background, I just turn my brightness all the way down and it's not distracting but the GPS sucks. Need a fix ASAP!
uglymagoo 9 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Edit: Nope. My fault. The below setting does not fix the issue. Edit 2: The Power and WiFi locks look correct. Does the app make use of the AlarmManager or JobScheduler to load the next item? This would explain the instant continuation as soon as the phone is unlocked (e.g. Alarm is triggered after leaving Doze) Original post (not working): Better workaround for this release: disable battery optimization for Emby. On my Moto Z's is in "Settings" --> "Battery" --> "..." top right --> Battery optimization --> "Emby" --> Don't optimize The foreground service is not correctly implemented atm and Emby does not ask to be exempted from Doze restrictions. So, emby is not allowed to access the network while the device is in "Doze" mode. https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby#support_for_other_use_cases Edited October 15, 2018 by uglymagoo
ghost2015 1 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 OF course I know this... battery optimization switched off for emby app also emby can work in background and can start services by it self even 'don't unload from memory' enabled for emby nothing help
Luke 40065 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 We are actively working on it, thanks guys.
Rastilyn 2 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Not to pile on but I just paid for a month of premier to test music streaming and I am seeing this as well. Pixel XL latest version of Android. Let me know if I can be of any help.
negas 1 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 It happens to me too on Huawei Mate 10 Lite (Android 8.0.0). When I open Emby again the music continues.
uglymagoo 9 Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) I just had fun with 3.0.21 on my Android phone in the car yesterday connected via Bluetooth to my car radio. Loading via USB all the time, screen on all the time, Google Maps in foreground for navigation, listening to an audiobook in Emby. Even with Doze not kicking in, I had to switch to Emby after 2-3 tracks to continue playback :/ Downloaded audiobook in Emby. Foreground Emby with PIP-mode Maps was working well. Just the same behaviour I get with the screen turned off. Edited October 26, 2018 by uglymagoo
darkassassin07 619 Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 For me this issue isn't just with the screen off, but with the app in the background as well. I can be playing music, switch to another app and when the current song stops it won't start the next one until I make emby the active app again even if the screen was never turned off. For the record I don't get this behavior with any other media player such as mediamonkey (what I use to play media that has been synced for offline use) on the same device.
AJRames 0 Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 I've got the same behavior (Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus). It plays 1 or 2 songs and then it stops playing until I unlock the screen. After that it resumes playing with the next song... This is currently the only thing that hinder me making emby premier lifetime...

MetalGeak 0 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Thanks Luke. I'll add my device to the list. Pixel 2 running Android 9. Same behaviors as already reported: playback stops if the screen locks or emby is not the foreground app. I'm streaming music when this happens.
Guest Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 We are actively working on this. Thanks guys. That's great to hear. This issue also exists on a OnePlus 3, Android 8.0.0. If you need me to test a build, let me know.
jellelle 3 Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Same behaviors as already reported: playback stops if the screen locks or emby is not the foreground app. I'm streaming music when this happens. Same here. Motorola G6plus Android 8.0.0
jellelle 3 Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 Any update on a possible fix for this core feature? I've been waiting to listen to an album on my Phone/car since 1 month.
Luke 40065 Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 We are actively working on it and hope to have a resolution soon. Thanks. 1
