Stop working after a while

[matteopalama]

Hi! Love the app but after a couple hours it stops working. Hitting vol + - doesn't affect the music app volume. Then it resume working by closing and reopening again

Wasn't able to pinpoint what makes it stops working. I tried putting mac to sleeps or close/open music app but that did not trigger the isuse.

I'm running 15.7.3 on macbook m2. I use external speakers connected via spdif adapter on usb-c (so system volume doesn't actually work)

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! This seems like one of those bugs very difficult to fix because they are not easy to reproduce.

What about if instead of quitting and restarting the app, you simply toggle "Enable" by disabling and re-enabling it? Does it work again?

When the computer goes to sleep, indeed, it could get disabled. That's why I included a mechanism that the app gets informed when the computer awakens, and it should resume its normal functioning (as you confirmed it).

Just tried it and weirdly it did not resume working even by toggling "enable" in the menu bar. The only way is to quit it completely and re-open it. Then it stops working again after about half an hour.

Something else I can do to help troubleshoot it?

Thanks!

Update: i was now able to reproduce it by putting the mac to sleep and wait a minute before waking it up again

Thanks, Matteo, but can we then confidently say that it is a failed "wake-up" call? Then we can narrow the debugging down a lot and come up with a solution. Is it meanwhile confirmed? If you confirm it, I will think about what we could do to debug it.

Hi Matteo, is the problem still there? Can we fully confirm it originates from a failed wake-up? Thanks!

Hi! Sorry i wasn't getting any github notifications email for some reason.

Yes, it definitely happens after a sleep - wakeup

Thanks!

Hi @alberti42, any idea how to solve it?
