iOS player stops playing after a few minutes

[Aung-Myint-Thein]

This library is working fine to play local files for a few minutes. My set up is that I added the player on multi pages and the pages keep switching because of user navigation. Each screen might play a different sound file. However, it stops playing after a few minutes and it is not giving any error on play() and prepare(). Have anyone of you faced this problem before?

Thanks

After it stops, I managed to get the console out for player and they are as following:

{"_duration": -1, "_lastSync": -1, "_looping": false, "_options": {"autoDestroy": true, "category": 1, "continuesToPlayInBackground": false, "mixWithOthers": true}, "_pan": 0, "_path": "file:////var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/D2CCFAA0-2596-49E2-A3C0-D73BCB5B67F3/Library/Caches/voice/0205traeg.mp3", "_playerId": 21, "_position": -1, "_speed": 1, "_state": 0, "_volume": 1, "_wakeLock": false}

Anything unusual? Thanks!

After investigation, prepare() function won't return anything after this happens and prepare() will just fail silently. Hence, play() won't play any sound. Any clue or suggestion?

After a few more testing, I realized the player stops playing a few seconds after I receive a notification from other apps. hope this gets more clue. My player set up is as following:

_player.current = new Player(`file:///${RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs.CacheDir}/voice/1.mp3}`, {
      autoDestroy: true,
      continuesToPlayInBackground: false,
      category: "Ambient",
      mixWithOthers: true,
    });
