My companion app rarely but once per week or so freezes and i get the android message that the app is not responding. I can then click wait or close the app. Since its a mounted device the app should always be on.
Now how do i automate that when this is happening to restart the app automatically?
I noticed this is a rare case that happens when a frigate stream is loading with audio on, while there's already another sound/music playing. (However this may be totally unrelated)

Would appriciated tips!

perhaps there is a way to incercept this message on android and automate it on android itself?
