For my Raspberry Zero, playback timeout is too short → increased by factor of 10

[Wikinaut]

As an ad-hoc solution I increased the timeout in pyradio.py by 10.

    def playbackTimeoutCounter(self, *args):
    timeout = 10*args[0]

Hi @Wikinaut

I think there's no need to change the code for this one; just adjust the timeout at the config window

You can either set it to 0, which will disable it, or to max (60 sec). Can you please check it out with 60? If this value is still too small for you (your patch would set it to 10x10sec), do report back; we can change the max value.

For unknown reason my patch appears to connect much quicker than yours (setting to zero) and a station is played quicker.

I got a quicker response from the server (Opening connection flashing briefly with my patch. WIth your "0" setting, "Opening connection" is shown a long time).

lol

What about setting it to 60?

Here's a patch to modify the maximum value from 60 to 120 (change 120 to whatever works):

Haven't had anything about this one in months... Closing...

Please do not hesitate to re-open if anything is still wrong
