Bug description
When trying to play any media in the app tidal after a few seconds the app crashes and playback stops. When looking at the logcat it seems the cause is because with a call to media.MediaMetadata$Builder.scaleBitmap the bitmap has Config.HARDWARE and thus the call to android.graphics.Bitmap.createBitmap fails with java.lang.IllegalArgumentException. The problem seems to exist with other media players as well, for example jellyfin (see their issue) And at least in that issue it seems to only affect devices running crdroid. From reading the comments on the jellyfin issue it seems that in the 12.0 release it still seemed to work properly. But it could be just a coincidence, becasue at least with my issue on tidal, I just realized it a few days ago because with a big update they seemed to change their used player or their playback logic in turn now triggering this issue with crdroid.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the media player app tidal
- Play any song
- After a few seconds the app crashes
