Android Beta 3.5.12 (& other builds) Crashes during playback to Bluetooth Audio Huawei T5 (Android 8)

[NickWells 0]

I realise this is a long shot as my issues is on an older tablet running Android 8.0, but the app is supported on that version.

After a few minutes of music playback to a Bluetooth audio device, I get a message saying the Emby app has crashed.

I suspect this is related to billing as the app logs show

Which is repeated until I kill the app.
 

I don't have a premiere license on the server. Other android devices play fine, so this is probably a limitation of an older version of android, that sadly I cannot update.

I've included the client and server logs.

Hi, does this only happen with bluetooth playback and not local playback on the device?

Hi Luke,
Just tested again and it happens during local playback too.

Hi, have you  updated to Emby for Android 3.5.15? Has that helped?

[NickWells 0]

3.5.15 is definitely an improvement. It runs longer before crashing, typically about 15 minutes.
Would the new logs help?
 

[Luke 42077]

Sure. Thanks

I've chopped a load of duplicated lines towards the end.
Is this a payment issue?
The payment UI not being displayed as the Play Store environment is out of date?

I see this in the logs but no payment option is ever displayed
