v1.0.33: Device ID changes between sessions (duplicate players) + audio artefacts + sync delay settings

[afv]

Hi, first of all, thanks for this app!

1) Device ID appears to change between sessions → duplicate players in Music Assistant

Version: v1.0.33
The device ID seems to change each time we establish a new connection with Music Assistant (after restarting or force-stopping the app), resulting in new players being created instead of reusing the existing one.

2) Audio distortion / artefacts when outputting via Bluetooth

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ (SM-X210)
Audio path: Android → Bluetooth → Echo Dot

I'm still getting sound distortion/artefacts. On the same setup, Snapcast (Snapdroid app, or snapclient via termux) and Squeezelite (via termux) do not have these sound issues. If there’s any recommended setting (buffer size, sample rate, etc.) or logging I can enable to help diagnose, let me know.

3) Where to adjust Sendspin sync delay for Sendspin players?

In Music Assistant I see “Sendspin sync delay (ms)” for a Chromecast player when “Enable experimental Sendspin mode” is enabled.

However, I cannot find an equivalent sync delay option for the actual Sendspin players themselves.
Is there a way to adjust sync delay for Sendspin players? If so, where is that setting (or is it not implemented yet)?

Thanks in advance—happy to collect any diagnostics you need.

1.0.34 should resolve #1 for you and the setting you're looking for is in the hamburger menu within "Settings" down towards the bottom "Offset".

I will do a little digging on the distortion, if you could open "Stats for nerds" and just observe if it's in correction mode that would confirm it's something to do with the clock synchronizing or not.

1. fixed, thanks!

Oh, there is a menu! 😅 It's not visible in landscape mode.

It seems the music plays faster in this player; or is the other (soundbar/Chromecast with Sendspin mode) playing slower than normal? 🤔

Here is an example of the stats (playing for 3 minutes):

Audio distortion seems to occur when using Bluetooth devices, and it is more severe when using PCM and FLAC, while slightly less with OPUS.
