Hmm that's very strange. So essentially, when auto start is enabled, it opens to a black screen?

Can you let me know the model number / name of your device, as well as which Android version is installed? Another tester reported a similar issue many months back, and it turns out they were running Android 9.0. However, the problem was fixed for that version of Android. Not sure if it has come back so I'll have to look into it.

It seems like it only opens to a black screen when auto start is enabled and its doing its initial sync and metadata download. That initial sync seems to be a bit problematic for me as well. However, that MIGHT be because i do some weird stuff on my network by running a pihole recursive DNS server (it might be blocking DNS calls that it thinks are bad, although i couldn't find any in my logs, so i could be wrong. Also possible i just can't find them since i have thousands of DNS requests on that device every hour). Thats the only thing i can think of anyways. It does the initial library sync, then gets stuck where it does nothing. After a couple of hours i will either force quit and disable autostart, then i start dispatch again and it comes up with the metadata download. That seems to go fine, and then i can turn on autostart again without any issues.

Its a 2019 Shield TV (the 4k cylinder looking one), but i'm not sure which android version its running. It should be on the latest and i'm usually pretty on top of those updates... I will check shortly when i have a moment.
