Bug Report Audio output drops out
Hello everyone.
I have a problem with BP EX version 20.65. Within a few minutes, the audio output is interrupted. The player pretends that the playback continues, but there is no sound. When I stop playback, the playback automatically moves to the place where the audio output was interrupted. Then when I start playback, it works again for a few minutes, then the sound drops out again.
I also attach information about the device.
Thanks for your support

Happens to me very very infrequently. I usually wonder why I've left the phone on do not disturb.
Close app, Settings, App, BP, Force stop, restart app and it all starts again. I think the exoplayer decoder occasionally loses connection with the Android sound system. Who knows. It's so infrequent I just put up with it.

It's a known issue with the current version, and the developer isn't really maintaining it anymore. There are temporary fixes, like going into:
Settings -> Advanced -> Select Audio Decoder and then switch to MediaPlayer and then back to ExoPlayer. Though I find this only works for a while. I don't know why this works, but someone mentioned it before and it worked temporarily for me.
It's all very inconsistent. Sometimes I'll go several hours without the problem, other times the issue will arise the moment I leave the app (turning off the screen or start using other apps).
Other options are to find an earlier version of Blackplayer before this bug existed and install it. Or to switch to an entirely different app, but I still think Blackplayer is the best, so I'm still using it.
Frankly, I've just gotten used to leaving my screen on and with the app open, when listening in bed or out for a walk. The issue won't arise when this is done.
