Pausing a song for more than a few seconds breaks playback

nneul commented 3 years ago

Subject of the issue

I've seen this ever since I started using pianobar - just now getting around to reporting.

Playback hangs/stops after a little while if you pause.

Your environment

0f856e8c8721537a0c945b7036351e4073dc0b04 - head of master a week or so ago
Ubuntu 18
from repos - 3.4.8

password = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
user = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
audio_quality = high
autostart_station = 3563273528223108439
event_command = /users/nneul/bin/lastfm-scrobble

Steps to reproduce

Pause a song. Wait 30-40 seconds (i.e. if you took a phone call/whatever) Unpause Song will continue to play, possibly up until buffer empty - and will then hang. It may or may not recover after this if you continue to wait.

Expected behaviour

Should be able to pause and resume.

It'd be tolerable if it broke playback of the current song and skipped to next, but as it is now, it breaks and only way to really recover is to restart app.

Actual behaviour

After unpausing - gets about 20 seconds of playback, then just stops. No error message. Sometimes it seems like if I let it sit there, it stutters after about another 10-15 seconds and then skips to next song.

By default it should time out after 30 seconds. You can decrease this by setting the timeout option in your config file. If it does not you can also force a reconnect by pressing Ctrl-C once. Does that help?

Yes, both of those options significantly improve experience. Thank you!
