Android exception in MusicBroadcastReceiver - Service Intent must be explicit

[jmartine2]

Sorry, forgot to mention that this is Android.

This issue is still causing me problems. The exception happens in the following circumstance: If I'm playing music through a Bluetooth speaker, then turn off the speaker while the music is playing, the music switches to playing through the device's built-in speaker for a few seconds, then it crashes.

Just before the crash AudioPlayerBroadcastReceiver.OnReceieve() is called, and the call to context.StartService(stopIntent); causes the exception. I have included the stack trace below.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Any idea of how to fix it?

Nevermind. I figured out how to fix it. I will create a pull request for the change soon.
