Title: Auto reload .m3u stream after 3 minutes silence?
Post by: HHawk on August 11, 2021, 10:37:27

Hi all,

Long time user of AIMP, however only registered today (which is a good thing, as this great music player simply works without any issues). I switched from Winamp (the old version) to AIMP several years ago.

Anyways, I am experiencing an "issue", well it's more the stream I use at my office, but still I hope someone can provide a workaround or solution. I have AIMP running 24/7 at my office. And I am using the following stream: https://21223.live.streamtheworld.com/RADIO538.mp3

However sometimes the audio goes down and I have to reload the stream. I guess it's some kind of mechanism at the hosting provider so it does not allow to keep listening for longer periods of time, or they are updating stuff or it's simply something else.

I know there is an option called "Automatic reconnect to internet radio station when connection is lost", however this does not work for me (though I have it enabled).
My guess is, is that the stream is online, however it's not outputting any music/audio.

Is there a way to make it reconnect e.g. based on several minutes of (complete) silence to the same stream? Probably not. But I thought I would give this a shot...

Thanks in advance.

Try using the scheduler.

Create a playlist, and duplicate the Radio link 24 times.
Create a task in the scheduler to switch track (links) every hour.

Is something like this what you are talking about?

Yes. That's what I meant.
Perhaps you'll come up with an option of your own, if it works, post here.
