Play Later List Stopped Unexpectedly on PadOS

On my iPad, I tapped an album in my library view and it started playing, then did Play Later on a couple more, then switched the view to one of my collections and did Play Later on a few more albums, so I had six albums queued.
The third album was almost done (two songs remaining), and I unlocked my iPad and saw that the playing album icon/button (bottom right) had turned into the play random button (dice symbol) even though the third album was still playing. I wanted to see the song list and album queue but didn’t want to start a random album. So I waited.
The third album finished but albums 4 through 6 didn’t start. Their album art was still showing as queued (larger icons), marked in remaining play order (1, 2, 3), but nothing was playing.
I clicked another album and it started playing (the random button changed to a currently playing button). So I clicked the first of the three that should have been playing, and when I went into the album queue, it was at the top and it was also the first in the list of the remaining three up next albums.
I have no idea how to reproduce this problem. It was like something made Longplay forget it had albums queued up, and playing another album helped it remember. The only thing I can think of is that I added some albums from my library and some from a collection.

I've did some major under-the-hood updates on this in the latest version 2.2.4. This should be addressed. Please let me know if it happens again, James Detwiler.

Thanks for the report, James Detwiler. That's indeed a weird one.
I have a vague idea what might have happened. The signal that an album finished playing seems to have failed for some reason. I am investigating under what circumstances that could have happened.

Adrian Schönig I tried the same set of albums the same way again today. I could not get the problem to repeat. It went from the third album to the fourth without stopping and the playlist details button looked and behaved normally.
I’m streaming to a Bluetooth amplifier, and don’t believe I did anything yesterday that interrupted the playback, such as turning off the amplifier or auto connecting another Bluetooth device.
Anyway, it’s working fine today and I’m unable to reproduce the issue.
Thank you
