no sound at next morning streaming radio - Boardman - 05-01-2018
Hi,
first to say its is a great new forum here!!!
I am still running 4.0 2018-01-26 because I am traveling a lot at he moment...
My wife is using Moode to stream our favorite radio station to an AV receiver...
Moode stays powerd on 24h but at night the IP address of our WAN is changing (reconnect du to German providers)
AV receiver is switched off over night
Now every morning she has to stop and start Moode Playlist (radio station) again.. I assume this ist because IP is canging and reconnect over night...?
I do not assume it is related to the link between Moode and AV receiver... (because switching AV off and on works fine)
Is ther any way to automate the "pause" and play " of Moode?
Any other things I can check?

One way to troubleshoot is to examine the MPD log right after the failed Play. This should show error messages that indicate whether MPD is not able to open the radio station URL or is not able to open the audio output.
cat /var/log/mpd/log

The log is full with only one message:
May 02 18:03 : player: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun

after checking with google for me it looks like the stream is broken? is there an easy way to restart playing every morning at 7:00? I supose that would help
Setting up cron with service restart? or any better idea?
Uwe
PS
I tried to add etc/cron.d/mood
# Moode: Restart every morning
45 18 * * * root PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin/" systemctl restart mpd
and rebooted, but it did not work, sorry I am not a linux geek - any suggestion what to change?
It would als be perfect to trigger mpd to switch the playlist to a default (radio), but this is not a must have..

Hi, Uwe.
This error message can be found in the compiled mpd binary. It's not in the MPD repo master branch. I had to roll back to v0.20.19 (the current release. actually) to find it in src/player/Thread.cxx. It's preceded by the comment
Code:
/* the decoder is too busy and hasn't provided
new PCM data in time: send silence (if the
output pipe is empty) */Wasn't that informative
What this doesn't tell us is what to do about it.
A commit was made to the MPD repo on January 2 which removed the subject bit of code with the git comment
Code:
The output plugin shall decide whether to insert silence or do nothing
at all. The ALSA output plugin has already implemented this.
Inserting silence is not necessary or helpful for some plugins, and
may even hurt them (e.g. "recorder").We can only hope this means that the latest combination of MPD and ALSA falls over in a more sensible way when the triggering condition occurs.
I haven't seen the error in limited testing here. Is the URL at the end of your listing the station which was supposed to start playing when the clock radio setting is met? Does the silence occur with any other URLs?
Regards,
Kent

Hi Kent,
this error - until now - never startet when my Receiver is switched on... I suppose its somehow reladet to that? not to interenet connection...
I will try with a different audio station...
but yesterday I startet around 9PM to watch TV and switched of the receiver and imediadetly after 9 PW the errors in the log startetd... for the whole night... even my Clock Radio at 7 AM did not work :

and the playlist is not shown: empty Moode Screen
RE: no sound at next morning streaming radio - Boardman - 05-21-2018
and another test:
I have resetted my Inet connection...
Mood is showing reconnect and after a few seconds its in playing status again...
but in the log the error starts:
May 21 07:32 : player: played "http://hr-hr3-live.cast.addradio.de/hr/hr3/live/mp3/128/stream.mp3"
May 21 07:41 : player: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun

May 21 07:41 : player: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun
May 21 07:41 : player: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun
Can you help me getting cron working to restart MPD? Maybe thats a workarround or even an idear to search for the reason...
and the same for different radio station like
KCMP 89.3 FM - The Current
but here the log was cleared and startet directly with teh error message
