RuneAudio Forum

I have Raspi and use RuneAudio to listen web radios 24/7. Problem is that everystation stop send stream to me from time to time and there is no sound, time counter is counting. Is it possible to make a script which will "listen" audio output and when is null for 5-10 seconds stoped and played again? When I do this manualy - press stop and play - stream goes again and sound is heared. It will be nice when Raspi will do this automatically when it sense there is mute on audio output and restart station.

Thank Frank,
for understanding and quick reply. I'm not very familiar with Linux, so can you give me precise step-by-step instructions after you test watchdog?
I think that watchdog is must in next release of RuneAudio, because this is a common problem but nobody knows that there is a solution for it and just stop using webradio, which is most influential media by my opinion.

thanks all for your time
but I done all you wrote me and get this in systemctrl

kmod-static-nodes.service loaded active exited Create list of required sta
* mpd-watchdog.service loaded failed failed RuneAudio MPD watchdog
mpd.service loaded active running Music Player Daemon

I got it working on the second try, with a couple small changes, documented above. Not sure what I did is 100% correct, but the service does run, and the stream starts to play on its own again.

I have little knowladge in using Linux so I done like this:
-using WinSCP create file mpd-watchdog.sh in folder /srv/http/command and paste all lines from in that file
- go to file properties and add X to owner, group and others in permissions
- create file called mpd-watchdog.service in /usr/lib/systemd/system, paste text form hondagx35 reply, didn't change properties of file.
- use systemctl enable mpd-watchdog from Putty.
Tried several times to list systemctl and every time mpd-watchdog.service is not activated but it is loaded. Can I look somewhere error log to see why this service is not active?
