Playback Lag & Interruption Issues After Extended Uptime

[radwanel]

First off, I want to say that I love this project—thank you for all the hard work! However, I’ve encountered two major issues that only appear after the system has been running for over 48 hours without a reboot.

Playback Lag:

When starting playback on Spotify, there is a 10-15 second delay before the audio begins. If the system runs without a reboot for more than 5 days, the delay increases to 30+ seconds before playback starts. Playback Stopping After a Few Minutes:

After 3-4 minutes, playback randomly stops without any apparent cause. This issue persists until a manual restart of the service or the device.

Device: Raspberry Pi 4 Storage: 16GB SD card (also tested with 32GB SD card) Software Versions: Latest version of the project and balena (as of date of this issue creation) Fully updated OS & dependencies
