Hotelradio.fm issues

Help and Support Help

Hey Guys, quick question: I am running three Raspberry Pi’s with a volumio install each. Each is playing a radio station form a service called hotelradio.fm which provides many different, ad-free music stations as a paid service. all is going well but after about 3 or 4 days after rebooting the Pi’s, the music just stops and in order to restart the music I have to reboot the PI`s. Each Pi as a unique fixed IP, the hotelradio.fm connection is a plug-in which works just great. So either I will need to “reboot” the pi’s automatically every x hours and have a program to automatically “push” the play button to automatize the whole process or avoid the connection to drop.

My network is certainly not the issue, there are no random disconnects from the internet that would explain this.
Any ideas?

As a first step, i’d recommend you to look into the logs to figure out what is causing said issues.
It’s always better to treat the cause rather than fix symptoms… :wink:

But yes, what you are asking for is a quick fix script that acts like a watchdog, and restarts things on a connection drop. If I am not mistaken there is one already floating around these forums…
