I'll add to the TODO list to investigate how to keep this from happening.
Thank you!

I make extensive use of the stream monitor on my Pi3a that sits inside an old radio and plays streams all day, I've never had this restart problem. However, I've also not noticed the monitor do it's thing for a few months either....
Maybe my network has become less wobbly.

Today it's playing since +6h30 . A couple of restarts took place, but no crash yet. As Tim said, it probably has to do when mpd and the station monitor decide at the same moment to restart mpd.

Since i haven’t experienced them, I don’t know what the audio effect is of these underrun/restart events. Is is just an audio dropout?
To follow up on Tim’s remark, Comcast is our ISP and Ashburn Virginia is just 30 miles away as the crow flies. For those who don’t know it, some two-thirds of the world’s Internet traffic passes through the interchanges in Ashburn. New data centers keep cropping up like mushrooms in this region along with the power lines and optical fibers to feed them. The Internet service keeps getting faster but there’s a growing concern over quality-of-life issues for area residents. It’s not the pastoral countryside it used to be.

Kent

With the monitor on, the effect is that the audio drops when a buffer underrun occurs, and comes back a few seconds later. If the monitor is not active and an underrun occurs, music does not come back. Works quite good in most cases.

Kent, the buffer under-run results in the no sound, but all other signs are that the stream is still playing. A stop/start of the stream will bring it back, but the monitor will just restart MPD entirely. With the monitor you lose maybe a second or so of the stream, without the monitor, you need a manual intervention to bring it back.
I used to see these on some stations several times a day, but lately I can't remember that last time it happened. When I was testing the monitor it took several days before I saw it kick in once.
I suspect the culprit is at the source of the station, or in the LAN, or most likely a combination of both. I posit this hypothesis because it does not affect all stations (so the source is a significant variable), but it also does not affect all listeners stations it does affect (so the local user setup is a significant variable also).

Hi @ Tim Curtis Is this something considered for the 9.1.3 release?
Fact is the more situations of a buffer underrun occur, the more chance of having the conflcting situation of moOde restarting MDP, while MPD is restarting already. As you can see, this happens quite frequently (a couple of times in seconds). After the crash, MPD doesn't recover and music is stopped.
