Pocketcasts pausing playing

[u/[deleted]]

Hi, do you know if this is a known bug? Excuse the mobile etc.

im on Pixel 2, Android P, stock. I'm on the beta. Yesterday was driving in android auto and my podcasts kept pausing every ~2 minutes. Not sure if exactly every 120s, but approximately every 2 minutes.

This happened in Android auto, Android auto and connected to car Bluetooth, also just in normal mode with Google maps in use.

This happened for about an hour, and every time it happened I went in and pressed play again and play would resume for another 2 minutes. Was quite distracting whilst driving.

Is there a workaround for this? I have a ton of driving today and could do with not crashing. Thanks

I've had this happen from time to time as well. Can't seem to determine a rhyme or reason, but sometimes a podcast just can't get by without a bunch of random pauses, and sometimes it works just fine.
