Restart web radio on internet restore?

[daraghgoodplace]

Yes, agreed, it should recover itself. Even my cheap $20 internet radio from the discount store is able to handle dropouts.
I found other entries in log file mpd.log - which shows fairly frequent:

> player: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun

I don’t know if this is also contributing. What I’m finding is that the music stops completely, yet the GUI still thinks the music is playing. There is no way of knowing from the GUI if it’s playing or not.

So, I found another script to detect this message in the mpd.log, and restart things if this message appears.

Decoder is to slow

Thanks. The only thing I really see in the logs when it happens is “player: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun” in mpd.log. Are there other logs I should be watching (I’m pretty sure I also checked dmesg for kernel errors), or should I be increasing debug level to get more info? I always see the “playing silence to avoid xrun” message when the stream goes silent, but I also see it in other instances (when starting a stream, for example), where it seems to have no ill effect.

But, similar to the radiodawg script, it’s not reliable.

As someone who has paid for the Volumio Superstar subscription, it’s very very annoying.
