Stopping and/or crashing occasionally.

[Warrior002HU]

Checklist

• I am able to reproduce the bug with the latest version given here: CLICK THIS LINK.
• I made sure that there are no existing issues - open or closed - which I could contribute my information to.
• I have read the FAQ and my problem isn't listed.
• I have taken the time to fill in all the required details. I understand that the bug report will be dismissed otherwise.
• This issue contains only one bug.
• I have read and understood the contribution guidelines.

Affected version

0.27.0

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open a playlist
2. "Play all"
3. Wait between 2 or 10 songs

Expected behavior

Play the songs (videos) smoothly, piece by piece, uninterrupted.

Actual behavior

One of these happens:

• The video stops.
• The playlist closes.
• The app closes.

If the video stops, the next will play where the previous left off (e.g.: 2:43) if the next one does not stop, close or crash.

Whether the app is open or running in the background makes no difference.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

The notification also says "Network error", and that the video playing is [Unknown], while it is obviously running.

Additional information

I checked if it's a RAM or cache issue (if the system shuts it down) as it was a few years ago, but it is not.

I wonder if Google is pressuring the app? It could be a security problem.
