Persistent Notification Appears for no reason and can't be closed

[farside268]

The playback controls notification appears every few hours and can't be closed. According to my settings, it has opened 33 times today. I'm using version 3.3.0 Beta 1 on a Xiaomi mi A3 running Android 10 qssi-user 10 QKQ1.190910.002 V11.0.14.0.QFQMIXM. This same problem was happening on the stable VLC channel.

I get this, it appears when I start streaming a podcast in the pocketcasts app. It will show a notification saying, "loading",and it is undissmissable. It's the same notification that appears whenever I turn on Bluetooth, for some reason. Is there any way to turn it off?

It happens to me at random but especially when I plug in the charging cable to charge the phone. It's a OnePlus 6T running Android 10. It's just an empty notification that says "Loading" and shows the play, forward and reverse buttons. And as mentioned before the only way to get rid of it is to force close VLC.

The notification sounds similar, but it's happening in stable and beta (I've tried both).

We are currently investigating this issue. An issue has been opened here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/1354

We are currently not able to reproduce it though, so feel free to add any info you may have. Especially your device model and Android version.

I'm also having this issue. Every time a Bluetooth speaker connects, and some times when the device is restarted.

It also often scans for media on these triggers even though I've disabled Auto rescan.

Same problem. I think it has something to do with the background media scanning...

OnePlus 6, Android 10

Fwiw, I am using an ASUS Zenfone 6 running Android 10.

Edit: I'd like to add that it is definitely related to Bluetooth. Any time I turn Bluetooth on and play music from any app, this notification appears. I am using it with some Sony Bluetooth earbuds, if it matters.
