Android: Podcasts buffer and skip to a different episode

Pete7 — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 17:51:12 GMT

I just started having this problem on my pixel 7 listening to the Command Zone podcast "dinosaur precon upgrade guide" episode. I only have the issue with this episode, and it will buffer and then skip over every following episode with any listening progress. I have listened to this episode a few times already.

@Pete7 I've enabled a trace on your account to help us better understand what's happening.

For this trace to be useful, we'll need you to run through our troubleshooting steps: Troubleshooting for Android Devices

If that specific podcast episode continues to buffer and skip, can you please make note of date/time the next time it happens, and also grab a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this.

So I was able to get around the issue by downloading and going offline. Then I tried to recreate the issue and the closest I could get was it will play the last quarter second of sound and then skip to the next episode. I did this at 9:09 and again at 9:13 this morning (Jan 3 2025). I grabbed a screenshot, but it is just if the next episode starting as there wasn't anything visually out of the ordinary as this episode was buffering
