autostart after inet reconnect - Utzbrösel - 09-07-2020

Hi

i´m using moode for a whole time. Now we changed our inet provider out of necessity, waiting since 3 years for fibreglas...

Now the provider makes a reconnect every 24 hours. When i awake in the morning, i have to start the radio manually. Not so good for the WAF.

Is there a way (a script for example) to restart play after loosing inet connection?

Sorry, i´m new to linux, i only installed this great piece of software on my pi 3 and it works...

Surely that's just a setting your router no?

Nope

it´s because of the provider (02) . I cannot deactivate it.

Who ??? Where ?? Why ?? Have you a link to their T&Cs and reason for this ? I know of no provider that will not supply an always on connection...seems strange.

Can the provider ? Have you enquired of them ?

O2 seems to only do a business broadband package, is this a business line? No broadband should be disconnecting unless there's a line stability problem or maybe a DHCP lease time issue, which you should take up with the ISP. Sorry to be deviating from your initial question but this is somewhat of an XY Problem, X being your connectivity problems.

That said does enabling repeat help? You could also create a playlist with the same radio station queued a bunch of times and play that on repeat (probably easiest option).
Moode also has a playlist-based "Clock Radio" function if you didn't know, add your radio station to a playlist and make it play at a certain time.

Last ditch option I guess is that you could create a cron job on the Pi that runs 'mpc play' at a certain time of the day, this will trigger playback of whatever's currently stopped.
e.g. login as pi and edit the pi user's crontab;

Code:
crontab -e

append a cronjob to the file and save the change, something like;

Code:
0 4 * * * /usr/bin/mpc play

The above example will hit play every morning at 4am. mpd should continue playback of whatever it was last playing.

You may suffer a substandard or noisy line hence the DLM resets....

Quote:When would a change take place?

The DLM system collects data throughout the day and analyses it overnight. If a change is required this would cause a brief disconnection – which takes place between 3am and 6am in order to minimise the impact on users.

Either way it seems to be something to take up with your provider rather than something MoOde could fix...

Hi

it´s a litte bit complicated... Our first provider canceled our contract ( DSL 6 mbit analog phone) since 2018 !! we are waiting for the fibreglas (it´s already installed in out home (ftth) but not online) so we went to o2 to save our phone numbers. So now with this o2 we have a lot of problems with stucking connections etc. I´m from a very small village in Germany...

But I´ll do test the cron of vinnn. Thank youi
