@wishmaster270 is there any command I can use for auto reconnect?

wishmaster270

@tanvir586 Sorry, needed a moment to figure things out…

You can try to add “–http-reconnect” and maybe “–http-continuous” to the options.

Your config should look something like this then:



       {
		module: "MMM-MplayerRadio",
		header: "Radio",
		position: "top_center",
		config: {
			//autoplay: 0,
                        customCommand: "/usr/bin/vlc",
                        customCommandArgs: ["-I","dummy", "--http-reconnect", "--http-continuous", "###URL###"],
			stations: [
				{
					title: "Al Mubarak",
					url: "https://relay.emasjidlive.uk/almubarakradio",
					logo: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Antenne-bayern-logo.png",
				},
			],
		},
	},

@tanvir586 I will try to dig deeper the next days but I can not promise that I will have the time.
Maybe I can write a simple wrapper for vlc which ends the process when the streams stops or is unreachable and tries to start the process every few seconds.
Did not find any better solution til now.

@tanvir586
I release a new version of MMM-MplayerRadio (0.0.10) a few minutes ago which contains a new script called “streamlinkWrapper.bash” script. This script uses the streamlink tool to wrap the stream and restarts it if the connection gets lost.
You will find a example configuration in the examples directory for streamlinkWrapper which contains the configuration needed for your case.

Make sure to install streamlink:

sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y install streamlink

@wishmaster270 Thank you so much mate. Even if it’s doesn’t work for me I’m still happy that you made this effort for me. I’ll install the latest version today and will install streamlink

tanvir586

@wishmaster270 Just updated. Think I’m doing it right. First I’ve installed the streamlink. And then I went to the MMM-MplayerRadio folder and execute git pull.
I was bit confused about the streamlink. Didn’t understand where to install it , on the MMM-MplayerRadio folder or just normal installation. Finally I installed normally. Hope I’m doing it right.

wishmaster270

@tanvir586
Normal installation is the right thing. If you got sound with the new configuration everything is fine.
Hope the disconnect will be recognized correctly and your stream restarts now.

tanvir586

@wishmaster270 I’m not getting any sound.
config is right?

	{
		module: "MMM-MplayerRadio",
		header: "Radio",
		position: "top_center",
		config: {
			stations: [
				{
					title: "Almubarak",
					url: "https://relay.emasjidlive.uk/almubarakradio",
					logo: "https://almubarakradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/logorectangle-1024x326.png",
					customCommand: "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MplayerRadio/scripts/streamlinkWrapper.bash",
					customCommandArgs: ["10", "30", "###URL###"],
				},
			],
		},
	},

I added this line aswell
customCommandArgs: [“-I”,“dummy”, “–http-reconnect”, “–http-continuous”, “###URL###”],

but didn’t work
