[Solved] Playback stops after screen rotation

[nowakommunikation]

Hi there, first of all: I love your app! Am a great radio lover and love to have access to stations from all over the world like this.

I'm using it on various older Samsung tablets, both with the original or an alternative OS (like Lineage or so). On both I notice that playback of a given station stops as soon as the screen rotates. I have to manually press on Play again to restart it. Works in both directions, from or to horizontal to vertical or vice versa.

Is that a feature or a bug?

It shouldn't happen, it doesn't happen on my phone. Which Android versions do you have? And what Radiodroid version?

Sorry for not mentioning. Android versions range from 5.1.1 to 7.1.2 and RadioDroid is of course the latest 0.84. Just checked on an Amazon Fire with Lineage (Android 5.1.1), same. Stops with every screen rotation. This just to make sure it' not a Samsung thing.

To make this more clear and thus maybe reproducable for others:

I just found out that for the playing to stop upon screen rotation, the app needs to be in the foreground. So if you're listening to radio with RadioDroid and browsing the web or so, it keeps playing when the screen rotates. Only if e. g. you look at the station's playlist and rotate, it stops.

This is not too bad, so I'm considering this as solved.
