My apologies in advance if my reporting is not fully compliant with the standards - I'm a bit of a beginner in Linux.
I've been using MPD (standard 0.19.xx) in Ubuntu for a while without any troubles, but after a recent upgrade streams (Shoutcast streams, like http://icecast.omroep.nl/3fm-bb-mp3) have started "stuttering". Local files play without issues, and using a different player (Rythmbox) the streams play just fine.
- The
mpd.log
was not showing any feedback, even after settingmpd.conf
to log Verbose. - After upgrading
mpd
to 20.12,mpd.log
started reporting:
On start:
Aug 09 11:03 : exception: OutputThread could not get realtime scheduling, continuing anyway: sched_setscheduler failed: Operation not permitted
When playing streams:
Aug 09 11:07 : player: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun
One hint that might point at the cause (but I'm really not sure) was the following after running apt install --reinstall mpd
Error in '/usr/share/doc-base/mpd', line 7: all 'Format' sections are invalid.
Note: 'install-docs --verbose --check file_name' may give more details about the above error.

Any further info I can provide?
