7 years ago Yeah i'm not really sure. It does seem to be specific to Avahi as an mdns implementation, when avahi becomes inaccessible on the local system. Related to https://github.com/volumio/Volumio2/issues/40
Maybe there's something that could be done in the library to work around this problem? volumio has some error handling which seems to pretty much amount to "catch the error and just tell it to try again" but that sounds scarily like it could cause crazy infinite loops if avahi is just totally down. https://github.com/volumio/Volumio2/blob/982d6ea2ae169b6d139866336b0ea81141ddc0de/app/plugins/system_controller/volumiodiscovery/index.js#L194

7 years ago this should be resolved if you update to version 0.2.0 which does not use mdns
Those are the errors that appears in logs: Apr 02 08:03:07 raspberrypi avahi-daemon[3652]: server.c: Packet too short or invalid while reading response record. (Maybe a UTF-8 problem?)
