Rune freezing when no internet available.

Jpetsch

Hi all. Hoping for some help. I have used version 0.4 and 0.5 on 2 seperate raspberry pi's but the behaviour is the same.

I get freezing of the web ui and or remote app but only when connected to a network or router not connected to the internet.

Strange I know. I have tried static and dhcp.. no different. The ui locks up for around 2-3 minutes then will respond again for 30 seconds then freeze again. It's quite strange. Even happens with just the pi and a pc with a crossover cable. Any ideas?

Can anyone please just do a simple test to see if I'm alone.

All I ask is to set a static IP on rune use a crossover cable from a computer or laptop.

Open the ui and hit play. Then try to fast forward and rewind a few times and open settings or any of the menu options and see if it locks up?

I have tried this on 2 different rpi's with 2 different power supplies, with and without DAC's on the 0.4 and 0.5 builds.

Even tried 4 different brand routers in case something was being blocked. But when it did it with just a crossover I knew it was something locally on the pi.

Hi Jpetsch,
have you seen this post: #4434463
I have not tested, but I don't think you are alone with this.

Thanks Janui

So there is there any way to disable the particular features mentioned? I have already disabled cover art etc. And the problem still exists.

Hi Jpetsch,
Yes, there must be a reasonably simple way to disable lyrics. And also the internet based cover-art and artist-info which I would expect to cause similar problems. I am working on something else at the moment, so I don’t have time to look at this in detail. But it is on my to-to list.

Something which may work as a quick-and-dirty work-around is making a couple of files non-executable. Try this:

chown root.root /srv/http/command/lyric.sh
chown root.root /srv/http/command/artist_info.sh
chmod 600 /srv/http/command/lyric.sh
chmod 600 /srv/http/command/artist_info.sh

You will need to run these commands again if you do a git pull.

This works perfectly. Thank you so much.
