Just updated to 0.9.69-beta on Android and encountered this issue while not conntected to my server.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Update to 0.9.69-beta
  2. Open Audiobookshelf while the ABS server is not reachable (server down, different network, ...)
    2a. Optionally: Disconnect from server if connected after ABS startup by opening the menu, selecting "Switch Server/User", then selecting "back" on the server selection screen
  3. Open a locally downloaded audiobook

Expected behaviour

  • Play button should be available, since the audiobook was downloaded locally

Actual behaviour

  • Loading indicator is shown on the "Play" button indefinitely, playback cannot be started
  • The device seems to get warm to the touch when keeping this view open for a prolonged time
