It remains in its idle loop and refuses to process any protocol commands. This could be due to either an MPD bug or a bluez-alsa bug. I have no way of knowing.
The only way out is to kill the MPD process and then let watchdog.sh automatically restart it.
Code:sudo killall -s 9 mpd
Alternatively you could add a radio station to the end of the Playlist.

Thanks for debugging it
I'll try to add a radio station as an alternative. It is for the kids to use. It must be easy
Will it be solved? Maybe, a bug report should be submitted to MPD?
Thanks!
The other 'workaround' other than adding a radio at the end of the playlist which has worked for me is to set the playlist to 'repeat'. It seems to successfully loop back to the first song and not hang.
