Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. select show
  2. skip loading after some links load ~10links
  3. choose any link (rivestream has been loading quickly for me)
  4. Watch for about 3minutes
Expected behavior

Show plays as expected.

Actual behavior

After a few minutes it seems like another link started playing in the background and it has started from the beginning, so I am hearing the audio & watching my show about 3min in, but also hearing overlayed audio from another stream of the show.

Cloudstream version and commit hash

4.6.0

Android version

Android 11 - Fire OS 8

Logcat

Other details

When I hit home the sound is still playing from the overlayed audio, I can go and force stop the app which stops all of this. Oddly it only happens when I use 1080p streams, I don't seem to have this issue with 4k streams. It happened to me occasionally with my old firestick (2nd gen). Clearing cache of the app after stopping it does not seem to change the issue.

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

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the issue on Android 11/Fire OS 8 with a 1080p stream after loading multiple links, then trace playback behavior when a second stream starts; done means only one stream plays and all audio stops when the app is sent home or force-stopped.
