I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

In version 0.10-beta for android, the following happens when I press play on a podcast episode:

}

This crashes the server and I need to restart the podman container.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Go to a podcast
  2. Click play

What was Expected?

The server shouldn't crash and the episode should play.

Phone Model

Pixel 7a

Phone OS

Android 15

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.10.0

Installation Source

Google Play Store

Additional Notes

The server is running v2.26.2 as a container on podman on MacOs

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2025):

The audio track is being found on the session but it doesn't have a metadata object. I'm not sure how that could happen.

https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/blob/878f0787ba39ff82f9d5b6b5b5bb397ec667f010/server/controllers/SessionController.js#L291-L310

Is this reproducible every time? Is it reproducible with other podcasts?

Can you switch to debug logs so we can see this log

Logger.debug(`[SessionController] Serving audio track ${audioTrack.index} for session "${req.params.id}" belonging to user "${user.username}"`)

It also seems that the podcast episode is not able to get direct played on your device, so it is falling back to transcoding. Can you share the format and codec of the audio file?

yea, it seems to happen with every podcast episode. Only streaming ones. If I download the episode first it's fine. Also the web player works fine.

Can you share the file format and codec of the audio file you are trying to play? It is uncommon that a podcast episode cannot be direct played since they are typically mp3 or mp4.

actually, if I delete the episode and redownload it, it will play. Is there a way to rebuild my metadata?

no, I've never touched the database directly. The drive I have connected gets removed by podman every once in a while somehow. I've been trying to track that down before filing a bug report on it. I'm guessing it got corrupted when that happened.

I keep my audiobooks/podcasts on a USB drive and podman and docker both disconnected that physical drive on the host, so I suspect something is weird with the container. None of my other containers do that and I have lots of things running on USB drives.

I don't see how an audio file could get saved in the db that doesn't have a metadata object on it.
If you are comfortable opening up the database the podcastEpisodes table has an audioFile column that has the audio file objects.
If you can look at the podcast episode that failed to play and see what the audio file object looks like that could be helpful

I see the issue now. The index for that episode is null instead of 1.

How are you adding episodes to your server? Are you downloading with Abs or are you scanning in the episodes from the file system?

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2025):

In server v2.21.0 a bug was fixed where index was getting set to null for episodes getting scanned in from the file system. So it is possible to have episodes with null.

In the latest android app, v0.10.0-beta, the audio player was updated to use the new API endpoint for streaming.

One last thing, can you try playing that audio file in the web client again and share the logs? Mainly looking for this one:

[SessionController] Serving audio track 1 for session "8c8fb502-1cf4-4d41-b40b-aa0013a7cea5" belonging to user

to see the audio track index

Thanks for helping to track this down. It is actually 2 separate bugs. This will be fixed in the next server release or the next android app release depending on which comes first.

I just updated the server, but the container is still crashing.

I had a video up, but I didn't want to expose my server name. Let me know if you want to see it and I can send you a link.
