[PROBLEM] Audio out via BT unstable

[Kikaha]

Examine the MPD log. It may show whether the audio stopped because the music source (file or url) could not be accessed or because there was some sort of issue with its output connection to the Bluetooth audio device.

cat /var/log/mpd/log

This is it:

This fits: I started to stream a radio station in the early afternoon and about 1 hour later music stopped. Note: Time counter still running in the playback tab, BT connection to the speaker not broken. After changing to default audio out and changing back to BT audio out at 16:37 the music stopped again at 22:12. Same as before: BT connection still alive, time counter running, UI responsive. Currently I´m playing the same stream via default (HDMI) out.

Oops: I just noticed in "Preview Post" that the ":"+"(" signs from the log are interpreted as similey. Don´t know how to fix this...
