Playback Lag & Interruption Issues After Extended Uptime

[radwanel]

First off, I want to say that I love this project—thank you for all the hard work! However, I’ve encountered two major issues that only appear after the system has been running for over 48 hours without a reboot.

Playback Lag:

When starting playback on Spotify, there is a 10-15 second delay before the audio begins.
If the system runs without a reboot for more than 5 days, the delay increases to 30+ seconds before playback starts.
Playback Stopping After a Few Minutes:

After 3-4 minutes, playback randomly stops without any apparent cause.
This issue persists until a manual restart of the service or the device.

Device: Raspberry Pi 4
Storage: 16GB SD card (also tested with 32GB SD card)
Software Versions:
Latest version of the project and balena (as of date of this issue creation)
Fully updated OS & dependencies

hey! I do face similar issues with Raspbery Pi 3, was thinking this is to low performance device however as your set up is based on Pi 4 than root cause seems to be within something different.
Looking for community support!

When clearing Cache the issue resolves itself so maybe it hade something to with performance or at least working memory. Den tors 13 feb. 2025 17:03krzakx ***@***.***> skrev:
