If you’re on the road without data and switch playlist plexamp will crash. I have 2 playlists downloaded and was unable to changed between them while out on the road. It repeatedly crashed. The minute I was back on wifi it worked every time. I was able to reproduce it by leaving the house so wifi was unavailable. Come home and it works. Leave again and crash. Come back a 2and time and ok.

Fascinating, I do see a few crashes associated with your username. Is there a surefire way to reproduce like turning off WiFi or something like that? And can you DM me a Plexamp log right after a crash (settings \> advanced \> debugging)?

I don’t know about turning off wifi but it was reproduced on two occasions just leaving the house. I’m thinking I need to leave the house again after turn on debugging?

Almost got it! I can switch playlist while being offline now however when the list runs out of music it sits at a screens saying ops and a retry button of which I’m stuck until back on data then retry works. I think it would be a better customer experience to return back to the main screen when it runs out of songs to play. To get stuck on a screen requiring data is a usability issue.

On another not since the update my android head unit seems to be crashing alot forcing a complete reboot. To my knowledge nothing else has changed but it’s never done this before. Happening quite frequently however.
