What was the Problem?

After finishing a book, i went to start another. But the app got stuck and is frozen. All books have the same issue, pressing stream does nothing and the play button just stays as a spinning circle. Other devices seem to be working fine

I have tried clearing cache, data and even uninstalling the app

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Play a book

What was Expected?

Book is played

Phone Model

Xiaomi Poco F5

Phone OS

Android 14

What server version are you running? Have you verified that the web app works? The disk where books are stored in the server may have been unmounted.

Thanks for the reply. After giving up debugging i just left it. Then I realised my ISP was having issues. Since it was resolved, I can connect to my server normally
