Moode hangs(?) after ~24h

[taynaron]

I'm having a blast with Moode! I have 5 rpi 5s with the hifiberry attachment throughout my house. Unfortunately, each one seems to only last about a day (though occasionally up to 4 days) before it becomes unreachable and requires a hardware restart to work again. This has been happening since 9.1.6, all the way through the 9.2 updates, and I just confirmed is still happening in 9.3.0. I'd love any suggestions you can provide. Thanks!

moode.log attached (zipped, I can't attach log files directly in this forum?). Let me know if anything else would be helpful for diagnosis.

For logs the best is to copy/paste into a code box when you create or edit the post. The button is on the right side of the toolbar. To get the toolbar when creating a new thread or post click Preview.

What model DAC is it?

The symptom "Unfortunately, each one seems to only last about a day (though occasionally up to 4 days) before it becomes unreachable and requires a hardware restart to work again." suggests a network issue.

The way to troubleshoot this is to connect an Ethernet cable to one of the Pi's that becomes unreachable and see if that allows you to connect via the WebUI. If you can connect over Ethernet then maybe examining some logs via SSH will reveal some clues as to what might have happened.

It looks like a DHCP lease time to me...

[Tim Curtis]

By default

- Before a DHCP lease expires, the client sends a request to the DHCP server to renew the lease
- If DHCP server is not available the client keeps trying until the lease expires and then it either keeps the IP address or it reverts to requesting a new IP address. It does this until the DHCP server comes back online and can service the request.

Typically the DHCP server is a service running on a residential Router and so no DHCP prolly means the Router has crashed or was turned off.

[taynaron]

DAC is a HiFiBerry AMP4.

Tim, can you provide more information on connecting an ethernet cable? If you mean "connect it to the router" I'll have to think on how to do so; the equipment is a bit stuck in place. If you mean "connect a laptop to the pi directly" then I don't get an IP from the pi.

One other option I'm considering is overheating. It's a pi5 + the amp4 in a case with decent airflow but it's still noticeably warm (not hot) to the touch after a couple of hours, and the pi has no heat sync on it. What are the odds that's it?

[Tim Curtis]

Yes, run an Ethernet cable from Router to Pi.

@taynaron

I'll have to think on how to do so; the equipment is a bit stuck in place

I've used Powerline Networking several times to deal with situations where I couldn't simply run an Ethernet cable from point A to point B.

TP-Link and Netgear both make great products but there may be others. You need a minimum of two adapters' depending on the product you may be able to interconnect more. Try your favorite search engine.
