Android app random stops when playing in car with bluetooth

[Przemek 63]

Hello, I have my Emby Server on Debian mini pc. When I connect my smartphone trough bluetooth and play music app randomly stops and I have to exit it and open again to make it work. Then after few minutes stops again. It's horrible experience. Don't have that problem on other android apps when listen trough bluetooth. When i listen with browser from my smartphone it works OK. I attach log on different topic: emby.log

Hi, last Monday when I drive my car and listen to audiobook [Emby in chrome browser on Android] for about 3h playback stops when some chapter ends. Then I cannot play another chapter. I must turn off bluetooth, LTE and chrome browser and start Emby again. So maybe that is not Android app problem but on Android Emby App it occurs much more frequently.

HI, the web app is different, and web apps do not get permission to stay running in the background for long periods of time, so that's completely different.

Anyway we should have the next Emby android app update really soon. Thanks.

Hi, @Luke I try Plex server on the same device and also have that issue with my music. Today I listen in car with bluetooth and after few tracks it stop and I see notification in my car screen to click Play on my smartphone. Clicking don't start track. I must shutdown Plex app, reconnect bluetooth and start again. I think that is something wrong with my smartphone. You can delete that topic. Sorry for that.

That's interesting, thanks for the info.

Hi, @Luke, I don't know what to think now. Today after Emby for Android upgrade my app stop playing during first song. I try many times in car and at home so that is not Bluetooth related because I try also without it. Maybe  something with my server? It stops but only on LTE mobile internet when I connect trough SSL. 

I also check on other smartphone One Plus and also stops.

Przemek.

Are you using a reverse proxy?

[Przemek 63]

Hi @Luke I don't use reverse proxy. I use myserwername.ddns.net from NO-IP and that how I use SSL certificate.

Have you tried with the remote connection on LTE, but with plain http?

That will not work because it redirect to https.

But at what layer? Emby Server, or some other software?

[Przemek 63]

Yes, @Luke I use Emby server. I try also Plex server and had the same issue for music. 

[Przemek 63]

Today I use Emby app on different location. First on wifi and works OK. I can listen to many tracks. Next I switch to mobile internet and it stops playing during first song. So both try was on https.

Maybe my LTE mobile internet cause some issues with my server?

Regards.

Hi @Luke. Two days I test some other solution. I copy some of my music files to my Nextcloud. I have Nextcloud on the same MiniPC as Emby and I use the same letsencrypt certificte for both. I install Music addon for nextcloud wchich provide subsonic server instance and I install subsonic for android. Now I listen to my music and nothing stops for now.

Regards. 

[Luke 39783]

Can you try the new update that is currently rolling out? Thanks.

[Przemek 63]

Ok, I will try.

Hi @Luke last time I drive a cor and listen to some album for 2 hours without problem. I was very happy my problem is over. Then I stop and go to gas station, start to listen to my playlist and it stops during first song.

regards.
