Wondering if anyone who is using Overcast having a problem with it just stopping playing and if you have had the problem, do you know a fix

@klandwehr Yes! And also randomly blacking out but not quitting, without me doing anything. I tweeted @overcastfm but no response yet.

@jeremycherfas ok thanks for verifying it is not just me. I just joined the Overcast Beta and it is still happening. Did send a crash report in, so hopefully that will get some result.

@jeremycherfas If you have the continuous play button on try turning it off. That seemed to fix the problem for me so far

@klandwehr I’ll give that a try tomorrow but it rather spoils the point is liftening while walking hard. And it is definitely a recent thing, maybe the past week or two.

@jeremycherfas ok I turned continous play back on this morning and so far everything seems to be fine. So maybe turning it off and than back on will work.

@klandwehr Mine is becoming unusable. On a Bluetooth speaker, not my usual headphones, it quits after 10 seconds every time. As a premium user, I’m getting a bit peeved.

@klandwehr Makes no difference how I am listening, which suggests Overcast is the problem. What is the beta you joined? I am not seeing that.

@klandwehr Lately I've had some difficulties with Overcast, my podcast player of choice. It would simply stop playing and go dark after about 10 seconds. It hadn't actually quit, and could be re-opened on the phone and then, even if I didn't touch a thing, would go dark again. I was baffled, and even asked on Twitter if something was up. (No reply, yet.) On Friday, a friend via micro.blog asked . Oh yes, I said, and then later, somewhat cockily, announced that "Overcast is the problem," because it cut out both when using bluetooth earbuds and a bluetooth speaker, I was wrong, and I apologise to Marco and Overcast. Today, out for a walk, everything worked smoothly. As it happens, when I got home there was just a little bit left of the episode, so I just kept listening, and after being home for a little while, less than a minute, Overcast cut out and went dark. 1 Ahah! Although I have had similar experiences outside, perhaps this is actually something about being at home. So I turned off wifi on my phone. And Overcast proceeded to play to the end of the episode. I had turned off continuous play, as suggested, and that hadn't made any difference. So I manually started the next episode while eating my breakfast, and that played fine too. Turned the phone's wifi back on. Overcast stopped. So it seems that something has changed recently, because wifi is interfering with Overcast. But I have absolutely no idea how I go about pinning that down.

If you have any interest in what I listen to, the log is here. ↩
