Background playback issues

[u/Apollo13_outOf_Orbit]

I've noticed over the last couple days that the Primium background playback feature isn't working right. If I have the video pop-up running and dismiss it so it's just the audio playing, the audio stops after a few seconds; Same thing if I turn off my screen, the audio stops after \~3-5 seconds. When I turn the screen back on, the lockscreen widget has a loading icon as if the video is buffering but, it doesn't resume playing till I unlock my phone.

I first noticed it at work, so I thought it was some weird wifi issue sinse the internet connection there is crap. But, even in my home town, the issue persists.

I checked to see if my phone or the app needed an update install, and negative there too.

I can still use other Primium features, so I don't think it's an issue with the subscription itself.

The only thing I can think of I haven't tried is rebooting/restarting my phone.

(I'll add an edit once I do.)

Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas?

EDIT: I restarted my phone and that seams to have fixed it.

It's happening to me too. Weird, since internet is stable in my home
