[Pianod] Pi Woes

[Perette Barella]

Does killing pianod and restarting it work?  If not—outside pianod.

Install/startup pianobar and let it run for a day.  If it exhibits similar problems—then we know it’s not pianod specific.

If pianobar runs fine for a day whereas pianod locks up every few hours, then that would confirm a pianod-specific bug.

A stack dump from the player thread while locked up would be helpful in any scenario.

What Linux distros are you guys running on the Pis?  What revision/variant of the pi hardware?

Peter had a problem with this and it required resetting the DNS lookup state, which change got into the code base.  If it does resolve itself, then this is some kind of pi boot timing issue, otherwise it should get looked into.

Ideally, with configure —-enable-debug.  The only time I’ve ever seen the playback thread hang in the Mac world is with some wack USB-enabled audio amp, which locked up libao and the player… since the rest of the libraries would be the same, this seems a likely candidate.
