Bug description

Since I updated to Android 11 the lock screen controls disappear sometimes and won't reappear until I force shut the app and start it again.

(Also the tray icon disappeared but I am not sure if this is maybe intended behavior, because the podcast control moved to another place).

Steps to reproduce:
Play podcasts on Android 11.

May be it is also relevant to mention that most of the time my android is in Do Not Disturb mode, but disabling it did not change anything for me.

Expected behaviour:
Always show lock screen display and controls

Current behaviour:

Lock screen controls disappear after some time

First occurred: After update to Android 11

I just noticed this too. If I'm actively using antennapod, the controls stay around. If I leave a podcast paused for a bit (unsure exactly how long), the controls go away and only return when I start playing it again. Then the controls will stick around, and disappear again.

Kinda wondered if it was related to the adaptive battery option (which is enabled on my phone)

I updated my build to 2.0.1
The issue remains.

Aside from the lock screen controls, the same happens with the media controls in the quick settings drop-down menu. After a while they are gone.

I.e. if the sounds/media setting is set to Hide player after session ends. If this option is disabled, old podcast episodes will clutter the media controls but without possibility to dismiss or start playback. This might be another issue though, I'm not sure

Doesn't seem to be fixed in 2.02

Apparently this is a problem with Android 11 as it affects other media players too. See here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/70342792?hl=en

Known symptoms are:

• no player controls on lockscreen
• no episode picture lockscreen background
• player controls in quick settings only visible after swiping down twice
