Description

Steps to reproduce
  • Just playing video seems to trigger it randomly.
  • Also crashes if I scroll through the log within the app.
Expected behavior

Shouldn't crash

Actual behavior

Crashes completely while playing videos.

App also crashed while I was reading the error log, so I saved it instead to share.

Other details

I am using the same set of settings and extensions on 3 other devices that are running fine.

Hope it isn't a duplicate issue, I tried to look for an existing issue but couldn't find one.

Acknowledgements
  • I am sure my issue is related to the app and NOT some extension.
  • I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.
  • I have written a short but informative title.
  • I have updated the app to pre-release version Latest.
  • I will fill out all of the requested information in this form.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached logcat_2025_01_23_22_31.txt and reproducing the crash on Android 10 with Cloudstream 4.5.0 at commit 5691078, both during video playback and while scrolling the in-app log. Trace the reported failure to the affected component; done means the crash cause is identified and both reported actions no longer terminate the app.
