Music stream (radio) to HomePod stops after 1-2mins

[DanielsCode]

Hi,

thanks for this great project. I use the following command:

node play_ffmpeg.js --host 192.168.178.20 --port 5000 --file http://rb-bremenvier-live.cast.addradio.de/rb/bremenvier/live/mp3/128/stream.mp3

Then I receive this logs: adding device: 192.168.178.20:5000 status: ready buffer buffering buffer playing

After a couples of mins I get: status: stopped

Why is this happening? I am bit confused.

I got it fixed!

The problem is that HomePod requires regurarly sent heartbeat message with RTSP protocol. It is sufficient just to send SET_PARAMETER with actual volume value every 60 seconds.
