Anyone else having issues with the stream links over the past few weeks?  Occasionally they will stop and my player will say 502 bad gateway.  The website stream works, but I like playing via Winamp (I know, I'm ancient).  It seems to affect all of the links (AAC, MP3, etc).

RP Android App flakyness.  I have been struggling with the RP Android App now for months. It seems to be very finicky about playing.

When using my Google Pixel 5 with Android 12, latest version, it will play 1 or 2 songs and then fade out to pause.  I can then press play and it will play again sometimes, but often it will flash play/pause and then display an previous song from the playlist without playing it.  Then I can press play again multiple times and it will bop around to different songs without playing any of them. If I click the skip, then it will (usually) start playing again although sometimes it goes back in time and restarts playing an older block.  Note that this is NOT using cache, this is just running on wifi with no offline settings enabled. 

Using my car is much worse.  I've had this car since 2014 and it used to work wonderfully but for the last several months has been very very flaky. The car connection will never play anymore unless I go on the phone and specifically press play on the phone, a long time ago play/pause on my headunit would work but it doesn't work anymore.  The cache also has issues as I have had it restart the cache, stop randomly or play partial songs. Overall it does seem to be more reliable when playing from the cache, but I can't seem to consistently get reliable playback. My other car has Android Auto and that is also extremely flaky.  With Android Auto I usually cannot get RP to play at all, but sometimes it will start playing.  I can use Plexamp and YT Music but Android Auto has difficulties with Amazon Music also, so perhaps this is not directly RP's fault on the Android Auto side.

Anyway, the net effect of this is that RP on Android has become a much less enjoyable for me over the last few months.  I used to run a pre-release of the app, downloaded from the developer site directly, not Google Play Store.  That version was supposedly designed for Android 12 (I think?) but it didn't work with Android Auto either and had other issues so I uninstalled it.

Is this known behavior for the Android App or am I special?

Hello:

I have been noticing some issues with the Roku app. It will start to skip or quit playing, sometimes with a "check your connection" message. If I go to another app, I have no issues with the connection, HD /UHD video, etc.

There always has been the random issue where you launch the app and the music starts and after a few minutes, the music will stop. If I skip, I'll get the station break and then all is well. Lately it will play for a while, sometime hours, and then the music will stop or start skipping, sometimes with the connection error message. Closing and reopening the app does not always work nor reducing the bit rate. FWIW, I use the FLAC feed. I usually have to find another music source.

I have not noticed any issues with the Android app running over my internal wifi, same Internet connection as the Roku.  The Android/car interface gets flaky sometimes, but I'm not sure if that's not a Galaxy S8 issue.

I have Ver 3.0 build 4 installed on my Roku and T-Mobiles fixed wireless Internet connection.

Thanks for reading.
