Maybe you want to make sure that your moode audio player is nearly always outputting a signal. Moode does not handle this by itself, at least not predictable. So I hacked together the following shell script which I execute by cron every minute:
#!/bin/sh
#
# simple-moode-watchdog.sh
# checks if other media renderer stuck in paused state, if so, unblock that
# checks if radio stream still playing, would otherwise restart playback
if [ -n "$(cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params | grep closed)" ]
then
if [ -n "$(cat /var/local/www/currentsong.txt | grep Spotify)" ]
then
/usr/local/bin/moodeutl -R --spotify
elif [ -n "$(cat /var/local/www/currentsong.txt | grep Airplay)" ]
then
/usr/local/bin/moodeutl -R --airplay
elif [ -n "$(cat /var/local/www/currentsong.txt | grep Bluetooth)" ]
then
/usr/local/bin/moodeutl -R --bluetooth
fi
fi
if [ -n "$(cat /var/local/www/currentsong.txt | grep state\=play)" ] && [ -n "$(mpc | grep play)" ]
then
timestamp1=$(mpc status | awk 'NR==2 { split($3, a, "/"); print a[1]}')
sleep 10
timestamp2=$(mpc status | awk 'NR==2 { split($3, a, "/"); print a[1]}')
if [ "$timestamp1" = "$timestamp2" ]; then
mpc -q stop
mpc -q play
fi
fi
if [ -n "$(cat /var/local/www/currentsong.txt | grep state\=stop)" ] || [ -n "$(cat /var/local/www/currentsong.txt | grep state\=pause)" ]
then
mpc -q clear
mpc -q load "Favorites"
mpc -q play
fi
if ! pgrep -x "librespot" > /dev/null
then
/usr/local/bin/moodeutl -R --spotify
fi
