The problem

Every time I restart Home Assistant, the Music Assistant Plugin for Home Assistant does not reload properly and tells me that the plugin hasn't loaded yet. The logs indicate that it tries to connect to home assistance only once after 5 seconds and then stops.

I am running a bit of a unique setup. I have a 5 node Kubernetes cluster in my house and all of my home services run on that. The web-accessible services are exposed via Traefik ingress routes and I have DNS set up to point *.quitman.lan to the traefik instance. Both home assistant and music-assistant are accessible on my local network at home-assistant.quitman.lan and music-assistant.quitman.lan respectively.

Additionally, I have exposed them on a Layer2 IP address via a Kubernetes LoadBalancer service and metallb so they are accessible at 192.168.69.135 (home-assistant) and 192.168.69.151 (music-assistant).

Lastly, when communicating within the cluster they are available at the hostnames home-assistant and music-assistant.

I tried to use the intra-cluster hostnames when first setting it up and had some weird results because pod/service IP addresses are ephemeral and streaming back to my media devices couldn't resolve the correct hostnames. Using the local DNS also gave me some weird behavior. It appears that the static IPs assigned from the LoadBalancers work just fine when communicating between the 2 services.

At any rate, I think the problem might be that MASS is not retrying it's connection to home assistant. As previously stated, it says (in the logs) that it will try to connect again in 5 seconds, but then throws an exception 5 seconds later. The Kubernetes Home Assistant pod takes about a minute to come back online when it's restarted which obviously is far outside the 5 second timeout.

How to reproduce

I'm not sure if there's any way to easily reproduce this, other than deploying a minikube cluster with some manifests I could write up.

This is actually already on the backlog https://github.com/orgs/music-assistant/projects/2/views/1?pane=issue&itemId=72559628

I will probably close this soon as the issue is being tracked internally and because your setup is not supported. Thanks for reporting though with excellent detail

This is fixed in 2.2.0 beta 8 - if the fix is confirmed working, it will also be included in the patch release 2.1.5 for the stable version

Yes this is confirmed. Takes about a minute but reconnects automatically
