Operating System and Brave Version
Android 15, Build/BP1A.250505.005
Brave 1.79.126, Chromium 137.0.7151.119
Additional Information:
I’m a rural volunteer fireman and I monitor our local sheriff and fire channels via broadcastify.com to know when I’m needed. I’ve been using Background Play for a year or more, since when it was in Beta. It’s never worked on intermittent audio streams. I don’t use it for anything else, so don’t know if it works elsewhere.
Could test this in brave://settings/shields/filters

I’m giving that a try. Trimmed off https that Brave prefixed on, hope that works.
Thanks for trying but that didn’t work. I ran Android and Windows side by side, same Broadcastify audio stream. The Android stops when the screen times out.
I tried leaving the https in, see if that makes a difference. It did not. The Android audio feed stops as soon as the screen times out.
I posted a query in the RadioReference forums, home of Broadcastify.
Is it related to the android device? does different device help?

Can’t answer that, bc the only other devices we have is Windoze. We all have the same phones, Pixel 6 degoolag’d, running CalyxOS. Should make no difference unless Brave doesn’t like CalyxOS. Have not had trouble with other apps.
Does it work in windows in the background? The desktop/android adblocking scriptlets work very similarly.
Some filter rules to force it to run in the Background.
