Originally created by @pagdot on GitHub (Jan 16, 2023).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add local folder
  2. Download audiobook to local folder
  3. Reboot device

Expected behaviour

Audiobooks should still be able to play

Actual behaviour

  • Playback of local media fails
  • audiobook disappear on scan of local folder
  • if folder is removed and readded audiobooks appear again, but order of files is wrong; audiobooks aren't synced with server anymore

Behaviour seems similar to #172 I can try a reinstall, but would try to help with debugging first

Environment data

  • Android App?
  • iOS App?

Android Issue

Android version: 0.9.57-beta (will update and try again and report back)

Device model: Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Stock or customized system: Lineage OS 10 (rooted)

I think this will be fixed with the next release.

We use SimpleStorage for selecting folders and they are now persisting these permissions for us.

Hopefully resolved in v0.9.61-beta. You may need to restart to lose the permissions and grant them again.
