Play button endlessly spinning in notification player

Support
1

Issue description:

The play button in the “Media Output” popup in the notification area spins continually after playback in the app has been stopped for a while.
After resuming play and pausing, the spinning goes away for a little bit but will resume after a while.
This actually results as Google Assistant reporting the currently queued/not playing song in Symfonium when using the “What’s this song” query when trying to find what song is playing in your environment.

Not sure if this is a bug in Symfonium or with OneUI on the S23.

This is a little both, your phone kills Symfonium then restart it just after. (See https://dontkillmyapp.com/)

Then for an unknown reason the media session status stays in buffering while the logs (and video) shows Symfonium internal state is good.

I’ll add a tentative fix in next version to force one more state push.

Sounds good, I had run through dontkillmyapp when I installed the app and redid it just now. All settings are optimized to prevent any killing of Symfonium as far as I can see for Android 14. Probably some new shady background kiling process or something then…

I saw the same effect on my phone. Just for the record and to observe the topic :slight_smile:

You should know better to not assume it’s the same and provide logs :wink:

Is it possible that a recent change could have removed the Media output in the notification area? Symfonium is also missing in Android Auto. The icon is there but the interface is empty when I click on it.

Not exactly sure how to log this but logs uploaded as martlego missing notification.

No you just disabled media session in the advanced settings. The option with a big warning that it will break AA and other things :wink:

Ah yes, I definitely hit that button by mistake when trying to record the debug file and never noticed it… Thanks.
