Describe the bug

  • On Android, the app crashes when audio_waveforms extracts waveforms / decodes certain MP3 files. The crash happens consistently with MP3 files that have ID3 version 2.4.0 tags. MP3 files with ID3 version 2.3.0 tags (same audio encoding parameters) work fine. The fatal exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: codec is released already, and the stack trace points to com.simform.audio_waveforms.WaveformExtractor.stop(...).
  • Normal on iOS

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run an Android app that uses audio_waveforms v2.0.2 (e.g., using PlayerController.preparePlayer(..., shouldExtractWaveform: true) / AudioFileWaveforms).
  2. Use an MP3 file with ID3 version 2.4.0 tags (example: video_parse_1769586510156.mp3). File info: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz, JointStereo.
  3. Start waveform extraction / playback.
  4. Observe the crash. Logcat shows messages like:

Expected behavior
MP3 files with ID3v2.4 tags should not crash the app. If decoding / waveform extraction fails, the plugin should handle the error gracefully and avoid calling MediaCodec.stop() after the codec has already been released.
