Playback Stops After Last Playlist Item Finishes - Cannot Play Anything Again Without Restart

[BzowK]

Bug

The Issue

This is a newly built Phoniebox built on Buster with one-line command. After boot, everything works great except audio stops during playback randomly after a few minutes. At the same time, the volume circle display in player web interface is empty instead of showing a percentage.

I did bit of troubleshooting to find that when running systemctl status mpd |grep 'Active: '|sed 's/Active: //g', the result was inactive (dead). I couldn't find any relevant phonebox (specific) logs and when examining mpd.log files, one was empty and the other full of a few random charachters.

Further information that might help

The build is a RasbPi 3 with USB audio connector & USB-powered speakers. Also has RFID (MPC522) reader, two pushbuttons, & rotary encoder. Powered by 5.2V 3A. Wondering if need to directly power speakers instead of via USB if causing issue.

Logs

Here's a link to the latest syslog as just the last 500 lines didn't seem to have enough info

Here's the mopidy output (if different)

Thanks!

UPDATE

So after more testing, I found the issue is a bit different than first thought. The issue of playback stopping / MDP stopping / volume not displayed with Phoniebox is caused not randomly, but when the last track of a playlist finishes. Attempting to start another playlist does not play anything nor even show it attempting to play in the web console.

Please advise - Thanks

I assume you use Spotify edition?

Thanks for the reply...

Whatever the one-line installer for Buster installs. I reran it today and set back up from scratch (after performing an sudo apt-get update / sudo apt-get upgrade) so should be on the latest version, right?

Thanks

The installer asks you, if you want to install the classic or the Spotify edition.

Please execute cat /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/settings/edition

Hello,
i've got exactly the same setup and issue, Could someone help?

It stops playback after 30 or 40 minuts. Then audio stops & the volume circle display in player web interface is empty instead of showing a percentage.

Its not responding to anything at this moment.
When rebooting, its back working for about 30-40 minuts and we are back at the start.

Does someone found a solution?
