Using Symfonium on Pixel Watch 2. I leave my phone at home when I go for a run and just use music I’ve downloaded to Symfonium on my watch to listen to music. But playback keeps stopping midway through any song I play and I have to skip to the last track or the next to get it playing again. It seems to only be a problem when I start a running exercise from Fitbit on the watch that uses GPS.

Reproduction steps:
Download music to symfonium on wear os
Without phone connected, play downloaded music.
Start running exercise in Fitbit on Wear OS (with GPS enabled)
Playback will intermittently stop and not continue unless skip back or forward a track.
Nothing is speaking when it happens - there are no other sounds.
When I return to the player it isn’t paused - the icon to pause it is there but it has a loading animation circling it as if playback is buffering or something
Actually, I just tried it here at home without even having a Fitbit exercise running and it’s still doing it. First time I’ve used it while not out running so I don’t think it’s related to GPS or Fitbit.
My downloads are set to medium quality. Using a wear os watch face and as far as I know no other tracking or always running apps. Maybe I’ll try it with a different default watch face and see if that helps
After starting a media, navigate to something Symfonium library.
And when it happens, open Symfonium from the watch launcher to see if it returns to the previous page or the home page, could help see if it’s the app being killed.
But I have a pixel watch 2 for the tests and it never occurred so I guess I’ll have to find a way to expose logs on the watch too
Does it happen after a long delay? Do you queue a very long playlist? Anything special you can think of?
Just tried and when it happens and I start symfonium from the app launcher it goes back to the library page I was on before - so it doesn’t look like the app’s being killed. It just happened from a 3 song ep playlist so it’s not a big queue. Can’t really think of what might be causing it? Would it help if I reset the watch do you think?
It seems to happen with the second song in playlist and every song after … although may be it has happened on the first before. It’s generally around the middle of a song
I’m using pixel buds (a series, I think). As far as I can tell, they’re not disconnecting cos they usually make a disconnection sound when that happens. I can listen to music on YouTube music on the watch no problems.
I do have a computer which I can sideload apks from (although I can just do that from my phone can’t I?). Not sure how to retrieve a logcat so might need guidance on how to do that if necessary.
Mine does the same thing on every other song with my Pixel 3 watch. At 1min and 4sec it pauses. I then skip to the next song and go back to the previous song to start over with no issues. Same thing if I skip back to the previous song and skip forward again it will play with no issues. The next song plays complete with no issues and then the following song stops at 1min and 4 seconds into it. I leave my phone in the gym locker or car when working out. LTE shows full signal. Bluetooth is always connected. Media provider Plex through Synology NAS.
I should also mention that if I leave symfonium in this state and don’t kill the app or get playback going again it starts to deplete the battery rapidly
Yes that’s what I meant if you can repro while plugged on. in that case logcat would be enough and I don’t need to write a on of code for the log + upload system.
I really don’t feel the need to go running in the cold
