picoreplayer - squeezelite - gets stuck when trying to play a broken radio station

[sakos]

I realized a fault in pCP-Squeezlite. My favourite local radio station has changed its stream url but TuneIn refused to fix it (another question why). https://tunein.com/radio/909-Jazzy-Rdi-s87189/
If I accidentally open this station the the system gets stuck. The menu is responsive, I can select another station but it never starts playing. Only system reboot recovers.

I assume it should be more robust. Connection issue may happen any time.

You are also using the script feature in squeezelite, correct? Disable the script and see if the problem resolves. Error handling in the script feature is not all that good.

I am not sure what you exactly mean on script feature in squeezlite. Anyway, I have two scripts configured as user commands on Tweaks config page of pCP. Both are disabled but the problem is still present. When I switch to another station, a "fetching track information" message appears on the top of the screen then couple of seconds later it turns to "stopped". If I restart Jivelite, at least half of the home menu items are missing.
Restart of squeezlite via pCP main page fails.

Restart of squeezlite via pCP main page fails.

If restarting squeezelite fails, that normally means squeezelite is crashing. And that would also cause the jivelite problems since the player is not connected to LMS anymore. Reboot your system, then go to the squeezelite page and turn on logging.

Since your are saying it's causing system instability, I would connect to the system with ssh, and run

tail -f /var/log/pcp_squeezelite.log

Now try to play what causes the problem and see if there is anything in the log.

PS. Where is your LMS server?

LMS is local. It is a standalone device on an RPi2.

The result is strange.
If I enable all=sdebug, then the fault disappears. After selecting the broken station I got an error message on the screen about connection failure and the system is working fine, another station can be selected.

With all=debug settings the logs below can be seen.

You are correct. It works if I add the station manually and specify the link you mentioned. However manually added stations have e.g. no icon.
The station in Tunein app has wrong url (http://94.199.183.186/jazzy.mp3) and this triggers the fault.

You can find it on Radionet. Install the plugin and search for 90.9. This one includes an icon.

Interesting - couldn't find under Jazzy Radio but I found a bug in Radio.net plugin - page 2 etc. gets a "failed to parse"

If you search for Jazzy Radio or even 90.9 Jazzy it doesn't appear but searching for simply 90.9 it is one of the first results.
