Radio streaming doesn't seem to work on local mpd http streams about botamusique

Hi,
Don't you have any line after "Async download next" ?
Is the bot crash/stop or do nothing ?

[tetraphobia]

There's no more after "Async download next". I'm going to enable debug logs and update the post.

The bot just stops, no crashes.

EDIT: Debug logs aren't of any help.

I think the bot relies on ffmpeg to play the stream. This is also the case for the radio. Sometimes the bot stops just because it fails on fetching the content from the stream.
You may have a try by typing
ffmpeg -v warning -nostdin -i http://localhost:8090/mpd.mp3 -ac 1 -f s16le -ar 48000 -
in the console and see if you can see some gibbersih coming out. If nothing shows up, you should have a look on your local http stream settings.

ffmpeg seems to be working properly. I updated the bot and the problem still persists.

[tetraphobia]

Turns out it was an oversight in my configuration, not an issue with the bot. always_on and tags need to be set to "yes"

[tetraphobia]

Ah jeez. So turns out, that configuration change did not solve the issue. It starts playing the radio if MPD gets restarted while the bot is loading the radio channel. I'm gonna leave this open for now and post the ffmpeg debug logs.

You can see the problem is actually
[tcp @ 0x55deac911900] Connection attempt to 127.0.0.1 port 8090 failed: Connection refused
[tcp @ 0x55deac911900] Connection to tcp://localhost:8090 failed: Connection refused

What happens to your 8090 port? Did you properly set it up? I'd suggest you look into the logging file of your MPD to see if the http request of ffmpeg gets to your MPD server. Please make sure it is not blocked by your firewall or something.

You can also access http://localhost:8090/mpd.mp3 into your browser to check whether it can be accessed.

I'll double check iptables and make sure there aren't any rules that would be blocking it. Keep in mind, those messages only showed up after I restarted MPD while the bot was connecting. No output is shown otherwise.

[tetraphobia]

Issue still persists. I'm able to access the http stream through my browser, the bot does not play from it, however. There are no iptables rules that would be preventing the bot from streaming from the http stream.

I should also mention that streaming from mpd to icecast to the bot actually does work, but it's a sub-optimal solution due to latency. This is probably just an issue with mpd.

[TerryGeng]

Thanks for trying around. However, since it is not the bot itself who fetches the data from the stream, this is not actually a problem of the bot. The bot just passes the URL of your stream to ffmpeg and let it do the rest. Since ffmpeg would try to connect to 8090 port on your device, and it failed as shown in your log, I suggest you check the log file of your mpd to see whether it can receive the request from ffmpeg properly.

I'm actually curious about your use case. As far as I know, mpd is a music player. However, I think the bot is capable of playing music. Did you set up your mpd server and your bot on different devices?

[tetraphobia]

Same device. It's extremely odd, since this did function perfectly at some point before. Since this isn't an issue with the bot, I'm gonna go ahead and close. I've found a workaround either way.
