Get control back with problematic webstream

[biologist79]

HI,

it's me again, the ESPuino-guy (recently had to rename my projec coming from Tonuinot) :-) However, got a question to you - it's not really a bug.

Got your ESP32-audioI2S running in a dedicated task. Now the communication with this task is primarily done by queues (next track, prev. track, different playlist, vol+, vol-...). This runs fine. But the problem is: it only works, when ESP32-audioI2S is cooperative. So guess there's a webstream that's lagging, sometimes there's no way to get control back (unless I do a restart). Meaning: I can fill the queue with stuff, but ESP32-audioI2S doesn't respond to commands.

Is there a way to tell ESP32-audioI2S to do a restart/retry of that what's currently doing? Or maybe stopping and returning an error code?

Thanks in advance.

BR
Torsten.

Yes, that happens when the thread is stuck in the depths of the WiFi and only returns to the loop() after a delay or timeout. I leave the question open, maybe someone reading this has a good idea.
