Gap near start of music playback

[doney6012]

Hi, I'm using MMA 2.0.1.1214 on Android 15, October update, on a Pixel 8 Pro, syncing with MMW5 5.1.0.2832 on Windows 11.

I'm not sure if it's related to the recent update to Android 15, but over the last week my MMA will on seemingly random files play a short half second clip of a chosen song (or the next song in a playlist), break play for about the same length of time, then resume playing unhindered. At times it has done it with two consecutive songs, then might not do it again for a number of songs. The files play fine on my PC, and can often be played again on MMA without issue.

The only thing that I can confirm that has changed on my phone recently is the update to Android 15, so I can only guess that it may be causing some sort of issue for how MMA is accessing files.

I haven't sent in any logs, but next time it happens I'll be sure to submit a log report.

I've noticed the same exact issue on my Pixel 7a since the Android 15 update. Every other song begins to play, then a slight half second of silence, then the same song continues to play. It's very annoying. At first I thought it was Bluetooth doing that, but then I noticed the same issue during playback from the phone itself. Have you gotten any updates from MM on how to fix?

Nah, nothing yet. I hope they're working on it. I'll be curious to see if other players (DoubleTwist, AIMP etc) have the same issue.

We haven't observed this, but I'll try to replicate on a Pixel 7.

If you observe the issue, can you submit a debug log (MMA Menu > Help > Send logs) and share the log ID here?

Thanks!

I've put in a few logs for my Pixel 8 Pro. If my email is tied to the logs then it'll be under djt6012 @ gmail.com
I've just done a test with DoubleTwist and AIMP and the issue hasn't occured.

A very similar issue I get is while playing audio and adding subsequent tracks to the queue then the same break in audio occurs.

The issue seems to be related to Android 15.
Changing "Audio transitions" from Gapless to None in Options/Playback/Audio solves the issue.

That seems to have alleviated the issue. Hopefully it's something that can be fully resolved in the other Transition options.
It's strange how it affects it when queuing up more tracks, which otherwise shouldn't involve gapless playback.
