Additional Information:
I’m a rural volunteer fireman and I monitor our local sheriff and fire channels via broadcastify.com to know when I’m needed. I’ve been using Background Play for a year or more, since when it was in Beta. It’s never worked on intermittent audio streams. I don’t use it for anything else, so don’t know if it works elsewhere.
Thanks for trying but that didn’t work. I ran Android and Windows side by side, same Broadcastify audio stream. The Android stops when the screen times out.
Can’t answer that, bc the only other devices we have is Windoze. We all have the same phones, Pixel 6 degoolag’d, running CalyxOS. Should make no difference unless Brave doesn’t like CalyxOS. Have not had trouble with other apps.
In Windows, I didn’t need to change any defaults to have it run when focus is not on that instance of Brave, or that tab. It always plays audio once started.
I tried your four android rules, thank you. But there was no change. Audio stream still won’t run in BG.
