Playback stuttering and pausing after 4-6 songs

App version

Beta

Issue description

Version 15.0.0B1

What’s wrong: When playing music on a phone speaker, after about 4-6 songs, playback may pause before playing the next song and upon resuming (playback pausing and resuming may be irrelevant, playback will begin to stutter regardless of the pause), playback will begin to stutter and slow down. It’s like the playback is being paused and played very quickly. The impact of this seems to increase the more songs that are played after the first appearance of the issue, i.e., songs take double the amount of time to play, the stuttering get longer.

Expected behaviour: Playback is smooth with no stuttering when phone is locked.

Device type

Phone

Media provider

Jellyfin

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start playing music (a queue of 15 or so should do)
  2. After 4-6 songs, playback may pause before playing the next song, resume playback (Playback pausing may be irrelevant to issue, it seems that sometimes playback will not pause but issue still persists. The stuttering may occur first and then the playback may pause, after which, resuming make the stuttering a lot worse).
  3. Notice that playback seems to be stuttering in very quick succession.

Additional information

Tested with the same environment on Production and could not reproduce the issue. Reinstalling Beta, I was able to reproduce the issue every time. The only way to stop the stuttering is to force close the app, of course the issue reappears after 4-6 songs though. Clearing the now playing queue and starting a new queue does not fix the issue.

Thanks same issue as another one with smart fades. Disabling it should workaround most problems.
