Android Fcast sender crashes while Android Fcast receiver (running on a FireTV) is searching for senders #83

Description

What happened?

I tested Grayjay with a side-loaded Fcast receiver on a FireTV and it worked fine, but while that same receiver is waiting for a connection, if I open the Fcast sender for Android somebody was kind enough to build for me, the sender crashes. I've attached a logcat to the issue. I also rooted around in ADB for info on the device, the TV is based on Android 7.1.2 and uses SDK version 25.

Error in FCast Sender 9e00eddf7410.txt

Replication steps

  1. Open sender on android first - no crash
  2. Open receiver on Android TV
  3. Sender crashes

Force quitting the receiver allows the sender to continue functioning, say to connect to a receiver on my Linux PC which does works for the most part.
