I have had an issue for a while where plexamp, when newly logged in, will work great for a while (couple of days perhaps) and then, when resuming/reopening the app, no music will play. the UI will briefly display the pause icon, and the play time indication remains static.
I can’t then play any audio until I log out of plexamp and log back in again, whereupon playback can be resumed.
This happens with all of my 3 music libraries. Cache settings seem to be minimal (10-15 tracks)
I’m quite often listening via airpods pro 2 (bluetooth)
I am seeing some 404 errors coming back from the server:

Most recent log shows an example of this.
I honestly haven’t heard of an issue like this, I use iOS / AirPods all the time.
If you can reproduce it:
Hold down play/pause button to completely clear the play queue
I can confirm that I can clear the issue with the steps listed above.
I can reproduce the issue by pausing the playing track. then going about my business for a while (usually hours). And then when I reopen the app and try to resume where I left off, then it happens (sorry not very precise)
on the 404s - I realised today that I have removed a bunch of music files without clearing the trash, that could explain that? In terms of playback, plexamp will skip over the missing track successfully.
In the most recent log, the app starts up, tries to resume what looks like a fairly massive AIFF file (Armand Van Helden - The Funk Phenomena), and then it gets paused for some reason I can’t really tell. It doesn’t look like you try to resume it after that. I assume if you tap on the play button it doesn’t do anything?
