A very curious thing happens for specific songs when casting to a Google smart speaker or group of speakers. My guess is that an artwork image around 2MB or over that is stored in the tag of a song file is the cause (the pre-upgrade MMA version did not struggle with this).
I'm running MMA build 1080 on a Nokia 7.2 using Android 11, here's what happens - it all happens within a minute or so:
1) Song starts to play
2) Phone starts trying to lock
3) Lock screen shows briefly (I'd expect the lock screen player to show but seems unable to render)
4) Screen goes black
5) Quickly repeats steps 2-4 multiple times - approx. 17 times
6) Phone boots to Android Recovery screen
7) Manually select Try Again
Phone boots to standard lock screen9) Enter PIN to unlock
10) Open MMA
11) Casting Connection Recovered message appears
Then one of three things happens:
12a) Steps 1-11 repeat themselves
12b) Manually disconnect Cast, connect Cast again, skip forward one song, MMA plays songs until another "dodgy" song/file is selected
12c) Cannot play previously selected song as MMA unable to read SD card where songs are stored
I've adjusted the size of the image files stored in the tags of some affected songs and this has successfully worked around the problem. Thus far 2000x2000, 1.6MB is the largest image size that MMA has played during casting without crashing.
Hoping someone can investigate and resolve this one, MM has been good to me over the years!
