Music stops playing after 2 songs

[madevil 6]

Songs stop playing after 2 songs, I've tested this on two different phones using cellular data, both phones are Samsung, Galaxy 21 Ultra and 24 Ultra. I've trying uninstalling Emby and reinstalling, and I've tested on desktop, laptop and a Samsung Tab S9 tablet and no issue with playback. On the phones I've tested other albums and it doesn't always happen, last test was FLAC but in past I've had it happen on MP3 files, and I've had no issues with video playback on the phones also tested phones on Wi-Fi and still same issue.

I see these being played 

Megadeth - I Don’t Care
Megadeth - Hey, God?!

Then there was a request for another track but no playback being reported

Could you have a look at How to Report An Android Problem and repeat the test with debug logging enabled on both emby server and the emby for android

After enabling debug logging on Emby for Android app settings, you need to restart the app for it to take effect

Server debug logging can be enabled in server settings, logs, settings

So please provide debug Emby Server log, all the ffmpeg logs for the test period, and download the Emby for Android debug logs as well and attach

As there may be security tokens logged in the android logs, you can zip and send these to me by Private Message

Also include a screenshot to show what is on the screen on emby for android after completing the first two tracks

Thanks

Thanks for providing the android debug log file and corresponding emby server logs. The android log shows Exoplayer errors for the flac files and in fact these errors are arising on all tracks and fallback to HLS was made for the first 2 tracks. Not sure why that was not the case for the 3rd track. I would like to get a copy of the album to pass to the development team. Also would like to see logs of it playing all 3 tracks ok the S9 Samsung tablet you mentioned and confirmation that you are seeing the same for mp3 files - similar diagnostics would be needed.

Does the issue arise when playback is within the local network on wifi ?

Sending you an upload link for the Megadeth album

Thanks

Have the logs now for this and the Tablet S9 was on the local network and no transcoding

So at the moment it is looking like only when on a remote connection with flac playback. 

Will need to see if the phone can playback the whole album when on the local network

Thank you @madevilfor the further tests which has confirmed that the issue only arises when on a remote connection playing flac audio tracks. The direct play when on wifi was ok on same device

I have passed this and latest logs to the development team
