Bugzilla – Bug 15871
Unable to start RadioTime stream during TinySC scan
Last modified: 2019-01-25 10:10:59 UTC
Just updated to firmware r8644. Scan of attached USB hard drive automatically initiated. During scan ("Discovering files (xxx)" message on Squeezebox Server status screen), I selected Internet Radio->Local->KQED FM to play. I kept seeing error "Timed out waiting for data". Pressing Play repeatedly resulted in appearance of the error screen. After waiting awhile, and while the scan was still going but had changed to this message -- "Scanning media for music files, please wait...", pressing Play on Now Playing screen started up stream OK. Hard disk light didn't light up anymore when this message was displayed, though. See attachment for photo of exact error message.
Created attachment 6630 [details] Photo of RadioTime error message
Tested several RadioTime streams as well as other streams from Picks and was unable to reproduce any problem during TinySC scanning. Things played fine, metadata was fine, there was no obvious delay.
I wonder if this could be related to your drive, try some different drives. If a drive is very slow reading or writing it may cause some longer periods of blocking.
It is a slow drive. It's an IDE 4200 RPM 120GB drive with an IDE-to-USB converter stuck on it. No doubt the converter slows it down even more. Let's discuss to review priority.
TinySC will not be updated any more.
