Hello.
Today I decided to sync my podcasts using gPodder Nextcloud and have an access to my podcasts via desktop/web client so I installed repod. I am using Firefox and I see that repod is buggy in this browser. When I hit play on podcasts, the play/pause button on bottom bar is keep changing. Also playback is getting choppy, play/pause button does not work anymore, and Nextcloud Repod browser tab is getting unresponsive too. I checked this on two operating systems - Windows 11 and Linux (Fedora 40) and this thing happens here and here. But when I try the same in Microsoft Edge (chromium based) everything works normally.

Hello.

Thank you for your comment.
I work on Linux with Firefox, the problem you report surprise me.
I will test on a Windows machine when I have time.

But it'll be in 4 weeks, I'm taking holidays in a foreign country.

Thank you again and see you soon :)

A question I forgot to ask : have you any red messages in the JavaScript console log ?

You can access it pressing F12.

Thank you :)

Hi,
I have the same issue.
It seems to be a memory leak (Firefox, Fedora 40).
When I press a play button, both Firefox and Nextcloud processes in about:processes go from a few hundred MB to a few GB. The browser and then the DE become unresponsive (I guess both should handle leaks like that better).
The playback is choppy or absent, the play/pause button keep changing back and forth (like in the video).

These are the two errors from my console:

Cookie “_chtbl” has been rejected because it is in a cross-site context and its “SameSite” is “Lax” or “Strict”. default_tc.mp3
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request.

Hello to everyone.

Thank you for your reports.
One question I have because I don't succeed to reproduce your problem :

Is this bug rise only on some feeds (podcasts) or on every one's ?

If it is on specific feed, can you provide me a feed link to the podcast ?

If it's on every feeds, can you try on a empty browser without any extensions installed ?
If it works on a empty browser, can you provide me a list of your add-ons ?

Thank you

Happens with all podcasts on my end. But by using a blank profile it was fine, so then I started with no addons and switched them back on one by one and finally found the culprit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/plasma-integration

Creating a blank profile then installing just this addon is enough to cause the problem described here.

@mark.collins is right! I forgot I have this plugin (using GNOME for years now) so I removed it. Pod app works normal now. Thank you!

So, I'm able to detect when this loop occurs and block it ...
But I can't fix the problem because the extension take ownership of the player controls.
So I'll fix the issue by blocking when there is a conflict and showing an error message.

I can't do any better for now.
Thank you all again for the debug and this will be available in the next update.
