6.7 will include some changes related to this. Let’s retake this post after testing over that version. 6.7 beta hasn’t been released yet, you can check latest version in the first post in the beta forum.

Any estimate on when the 6.7 beta will be ready to test?

We’re still doing our internal testing, but hopefully soon.

443

Just download 6.7.0.2410 from the Google Play Store (i’m in the beta). I’m testing now…

[UPDATE] it’s been running for an hour without stopping…I think we might have a winner here.

@tywin 6.7-beta was released yesterday

@antoniolg @jesusMC @“MovieFan.Plex” I tested version 6.7 on both my android 7.x devices (Nexus 6 & Moto E4) and it’s working perfectly thanks for all the help getting this fixed!!!

446

Dear God, it happened. Thank you.

447

Awesome. Good to hear.

Thanks for the heads up!

Unfortunately I upgraded to Android 8.0 last weekend, so I can’t test the fix.

449

Good to hear progress is made!

This might mean that I will save some bucks by not buying an iPhone this winter…

Currently on 6.7 and it is working great. Thanks for fixing this issue.

version 6.7.1.2498 still seems to stall before the end of a track, after the songs faded out. Then doesn’t move onto the next track. it still thinks its playing the current track.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Usually it’s because I’ve gone underground on the subway and the phone thinks it’s connected to the internet, but it’s not. Plex hangs until the request times out.

Turning off Wi-Fi and mobile data fixes that almost instantly. You could also turn on airplane mode for the same effect.

Maybe the Plex devs should move certain HTTP requests off the main thread. It’s synced music. How could any request to the outside world be more important / required to make it play?

I’m on 6.7.1.2498 (I use the public release, not the beta) and I am still getting problems with playback randomly failing for my client :frowning: I have some client logs, should I send them somewhere?

Please start a new thread as you may have a totally different issue with the same symptom. Also provide logs from PMS and your client after recreating the problem.

455

Resolved for me too.

Thanks for the fix,

456

Thanks a lot! :slight_smile:

As I went out this morning for my pre-Thanksgiving feast walk, I listened to my carefully procured and crafted playlist with complete un-interruption. This along with many other things, I am truly thankful for this season. To all those who are still on this thread and the developers who fixed this issue…Happy Thanksgiving!

458

I can confirm this is still working perfectly after 2 - 3 months! GREAT WORK

459

Folks seem to be saying this is resolved now. I wouldn’t know since I’ve long since switched to Subsonic, an app that actually works well for music, and whose devs are actually responsive.

I’ll go ahead and close this issue since folks seem to be working now.

I tried mine recently and it seemed to be changing track, did seem a little laggy between changes, but no stopping.
