Version

5.2.4 beta

Frequency

Always (100% of the time)

Device

Pixel 6a, Android 17 (graphene os)

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open https://soundcloud.com/marc_adriano/the-disciples-root-of-creation

Additional context

Some SoundCloud links could not be played, the app gets stuck in an error report loop.

Happens to about 20% of SoundCloud links I've come across

[Necunoscutul12]

Same but for me its ALL the SoundCloud audios. It always dies with "null object reference" error
