Is this happening with just this one book or many? Have you tested streaming the book and that is working?

Thank you for looking into this issue. It appears to affect all downloaded multi-file audiobooks. I did some tests by streaming the book, and it functions correctly. However, upon re-downloading the book and playing it, the issue resurfaces. The problem frequently occurs when the player switches to the next playable file.
I play audiobooks at 2x to 3x speed, with the "total track", "chapter track", and "scale elapsed time by speed" options turned on.

If you manually change between files using the progress bar or next/prev chapter buttons does it crash then?

This crash only occurs when the screen is off?

Are you downloading the files to internal storage or selecting a download folder? If you are selecting a download folder can you try with the downloaded book in internal storage?

It happens either the screen on or off.
The prev/next button didn't crash it. But clicking on the screen or player area while the media starts or switch files will cause the app to crash. The file are downloaded to a selected folder.
I have tested with internal storage, it plays without any issues, even the sluggish issue is gone.

This is the same issue as reported in #1143.

It is an issue with permissions and the cover image. If you were to remove the cover image from the server and re-download the book it should work.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue with my Google Pixel or emulators and there are not many reports of this so I'm wondering if this is specific to Samsung Galaxy. I'm not sure how to fix this atm

Thank you for looking into the issue. I will combine all of my audiobooks into one file for the time being, and download any multi-file audiobooks that could not be combined to internal storage. Also, thank you very much for making this project.
