Description

Steps to reproduce

Play something from some provider (any of your choosing) for example cinestream and choose any source it doesn't matter pause the video then go to another app or home screen use the other app for more than 10 to 15 seconds go back to the cloudstream it will exit the player saying no links found.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported Android 15 behavior: play and pause a provider video, leave Cloudstream for 10–15 seconds, then return to the app. No files, tests, or entry points are named, and the issue provides no logcat output, so trace the player and app-background lifecycle first. Done means the paused player remains available and can resume after returning to the app.
