Thank you for your suggestions!
As far as my expertise goes, this seems to be a OS issue, not an
application issue. But I'm not a proficient enough linux user to
diagnose it.
So, what I tried was to reimage the piCorePlayer (this time with the x64
version - before I used the 32bit image). The behavior was still the
same.
Next I tried a variation of one of the suggestions: use the cron to
restart the pCP if the connection goes down.
I made a small script that is attached below:
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
LINK_STATE=$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate)
if [[ "$LINK_STATE" = "down" ]]; then
sudo reboot
fi
--------------------
script is then run every 5 minutes with the following cron command:
Code:
--------------------
*/5 * * * * /home/tc/mon-eth0.sh
--------------------
This solves the availability part of the operating system but introduces
a new problem, this time an application one:
Squeezelite fails to start when the speakers are off/connected to
another input source.
So my next problem is: how to make Squeezelite start when the DAC is not
connected?
There may be an answer to this question in the thread below:

I will post my progress (when I make any!).
