Fix buggy playback freezing
Often (usually?) after I hit play, Podcast Addict plays nothing. The seconds counter often moves back and forth between two consecutive seconds. Both luckily and strangely, there is a workaround: If I press power so that the phone locks, and then power again so that it brings me to the unlock screen, the podcast begins to play.
This is using Podcast Addict 3.16.1, Android 5.1.1, CyanogenMod12.1 on a Motorola Moto G XT1079. I have the Download » Storage folder option configured to use the SD card.

Regarding the issue, playback is handled by the device built-in player, not by the app. Once you press play, the command is sent to the device player, and the app then displays information received from the device mediaplayer service.
It looks like there’s a bug on the device player which makes it fail to play properly. Make sure to disable every battery saver settings/app on the device as they can prevent player service from working properly

Thanks for the response! As it turns out I do have a request: Could you update your page at the Google Play Store so that "Bugs & Suggestions" doesn't link to this site, and instead links Bugs to your email.
