[Bug]: Next item in Playlist not started automatically

[realredknight]

What was the Problem?

When a playlist is played and one item is finished, the playlist stays in the state "Playing" while the player Screen shows "paused". The playlist enters a state where neither a new item is played nor the icon to tap "play" is shown.

The App needs to be killed and started again to advance to the next item.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Add items to a playlist
2. play first item
3. wait until item1 has finished playing

What was Expected?

after reaching the end of "item 1", expected behaviour is to play "item 2" without interaction.

I'm able to replicate this issue. The expectation is that the next title in the playlist is played, not stopped.

Same here. Can't use the audiobookshelf app because of this. :(

[Pittermaennchen]

Can anyone help with this? Otherwise the audiobookshelf-app is pretty useless in daily life. :(

This is related to #416

Auto advancing to the next item has not been implemented in the apps yet.

The "expected Behaviour"-Part is related to (or the same as) #416

Still, if you look on top of my provided Screenshot, there remains a bug in the current implementation, where player state is "Stop" (as the current item is finished) but the button state is still "playing".

It feels like a race condition here, as the app does not accept any further input and must be killed via System --> Apps and re-opened again to start a new item manually

Fixed in v0.9.79-beta.

Note this only addressed the play button issue. The other issue is #416
