Songs keep skipping when using Bluetooth headphones + Lyrics fix not working

Current Behavior

When Spotube is connected to Bluetooth headphones, songs do not play properly.
It keeps skipping to the next song automatically, and then skips again continuously.

Only a few songs manage to play fully. Most tracks are skipped repeatedly without user input.

Also, the lyrics fix/plugin does not work for the songs that are playing. Lyrics fail to load or sync.

Expected Behavior

• Songs should play normally over Bluetooth headphones without skipping.
• Playback should be stable and not auto-skip tracks.
• Lyrics should load and display correctly for the currently playing song.

Steps to reproduce

1. Connect Bluetooth headphones (any BT headset).
2. Open Spotube and start playing a playlist or album.
3. Observe that songs keep skipping automatically.
4. Try checking the lyrics and see that lyrics do not load or work.

I have this behaviour, but also with wired headphones (some Motorola phones still have those and when trying to play using the internal speakers), so maybe not connected to Bluetooth use.

System:
Spotube v5.1.1 stable Build 44
Android 16 (LineageOS)

I have had the same issue connected to my car via Bluetooth. I JUST found this app and I would really love to truly test it out, which is hard when this is going on.
