Seeed XIAO ESP32s3 reboots when trying to play Pink Panther wav file

[Les-A]

Was working fine with older library. Downloaded and installed the latest version yesterday to get OGG-Vorbis module. Sadly, Vorbis needs psram which this device doesn't have but in the going I discovered this problem while trying to play mp3 and wav files using urls (have no need of SD Cards). mp3 files play just fine. Captured the following:

I can't understand that, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/schreibfaul1/ESP32-audioI2S/master/additional_info/Testfiles/Pink-Panther.wav runs for me without any problems. Based on the log, I suspect a timing problem (collision?) between two tasks?

Hi. Thanks for looking at this for me. I got the same results with an ESP-WROOM-32 (again with no psram). I tried the "Simple_Wifi_Radio" example set up to play the Pink Panther test file and it failed with the WROOM. Here is the slightly different output ...

I tried to set up the ESP32S3 for a similar test but it required too many changes to get it to work as I don't have the extra hardware and in the end it broke and wouldn't boot up so I gave up.

As I can do without the wav capability and can live with mp3 only I'm happy to close this as I have neither the time nor technical knowledge to take it any further.

Thanks again for the response, and a very useful library.
