I'm now running for 45 minutes without a problem.

I will post back here when a proper fix is available.

Unfortunately, I don't have the logs. Would that be an issue with communication between the MiniMstreamer and the Internet stream, or my Internet radio? The radio was in an area which sometimes has so-so WIFI reception.

It could be either. If you leave MinimServer/MinimStreamer running with the logging level set to Info, you can use 'Show log' to look at the log after this has happened and you should see a message giving more information about the cause.

Thanks!

MinimServer already does make a number of retries if there is a communication error with the internet stream server. It the stream stops, it means the error was unrecoverable. This would be the case for the 2-second timeout.

For an unrecoverable error, you could "program" a restart yourself by using a playlist with the same stream repeated 10 (or more) times. You would need to use a unique stream ID for each instance of the stream.
