Steps to reproduce

  1. Open app
  2. Navigate to a podcast
  3. Click play button for an episode

Expected behaviour

  • Episode plays

Actual behaviour

  • Play button stays grey indefinitely (until I interact with the screen again)
  • No audio player appears at bottom of screen
  • No play session initiates on phone

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version: v2.0.13, app version 0.9.44-beta

  • Android App?
  • iOS App?

iOS Issue

iOS Version: 15.4.1

iPhone model: 12

Troubleshooting tried

  1. Try root account instead of a user account - no change
  2. Reboot iPhone - no change
  3. Reinstall iOS app - no change
  4. Check networking - all appears fine, both my server and my phone are on my local network
  5. Check that I can play the same items from my server in my phone's web browser - yes

That last timestamp is over ten minutes ago and the play session still has not started on my phone.
