App Crash Without 4-digit auth pin prompt

[jacobtriffo]

Phone: LG v20 vs995
OS: Android 8.0
Kernel: 3.18.71-perf+
App Version: 1.1.2

Issue:
App launches and cannot find network players. When player's IP is added in settings, app loads the song/timecode/album art that is currently playing on GPMD but does not prompt for 4 digit auth pin that is displayed in the GPMD desktop app.

Any attempt to use the app to play/pause/skip/rewind/volume crashes the app and causes GMPD to re-generate a new 4-digit auth pin. If no attempt to use the app or any other user input is made, it crashes after approximately 7 seconds.
