after a while, the web-admin interface (the status page) loses contact with the back-end …
I was playing music for over 3 hours, when I looked at the status page, it told me it was not streaming music …
Three hours? That’s making it difficult to reproduce 😉
Well, for one thing, the status page will get an overhaul anyway… but: are you sure that’s not a browser thing? Did the page actually continue to reload every 10 seconds, or did it maybe just stop earlier?
