Flux FM stations start and then stop

[the_bertrum]

I've been doing some investigation into what happens when I see this on my player.  In the mpd log (/var/log/mpd/log) I see this when the music stops:

Code:

Apr 08 09:14 : player: played "https://mediaserv73.live-streams.nl:18058/stream"
Apr 08 10:29 : alsa_output: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun
Apr 08 10:29 : alsa_output: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun

So I guess that means not enough data is flowing to something at some point.  I don't know where in the chain "the decoder" is.

I still suspect the poor quality of the wifi connection is the ultimate culprit (Pi zero inside and old radio on the other side of a brick wall from the router).  Sometimes the radio recovers and starts playing again, sometimes it never recovers and I have to stop then start playback, on occasion if I stop and restart soon enough I get a CURL timeout.
I'll run the station for a while on a player with an Ethernet connection, see if that ever has problems.
