I have the same issue with the latest release (v0.9.43-beta). The app worked on OxygenOS but crashes with LineageOS. Does this app require Google Services/Libraries? Maybe thats the issue here.

After setting up a development environment and running the app using AndroidStudio I get the following exception:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: com.audiobookshelf.app, PID: 10734

...

I am not an android developer but it seems like, the missing Google Play Services are the issue here.

@galaxyfar can you confirm that your installation has no Google Services either?

Ah yes, thanks for the log. That makes sense since the app looks for a valid chromecast receiver on launch. We can fix that.

@rwa96 you hit the nail in the head. I'm indeed not using play Google Services. Thanks for taking time to debug this.
