Audio cuts out consistently

[daveols]

Hey, first of all great work on this project -- love it!

I've run into an issue where audio drops out when casting very consistently at ~40 second intervals, for a second or two. This happens across multiple sources and boots of the pi.

Any idea what could be causing this? I'm not sure if the root of the problem is in the source here or in one of the underlying libraries (omxplayer?) but I thought I'd raise it in case anyone else has encountered the same issue.

Glad you're enjoying it!
Is this happening while streaming YouTube, livestreams or local files to your pi? One way to troubleshoot would be to play a local video file on your Pi using omxplayer, and seeing if the cutting still occurs. Next up, try using omxplayer and youtube-dl to play a clip from YouTube on the Pi; and if the error still occurs, then we know it's something on "our end".

Thanks @mheine, I'll give that a try when I have some spare time and get back to you.

FWIW it's none of the above -- they're direct links to streamable media, i.e. googlevideo.com among others.
