Automatically playing/restarting on boot

[timflan]

Frank:
I've tried both rebooting and disconnecting power. After it boots, I'm right where I left off, READY TO PLAY whatever was playing before. But it's in stopped mode, waiting for a click to play.

Hi all,

I did some tests with the auto play feature:
- works with network mounts
- works with radio streams
- works with locally stored files

- does not work with files stored on USB storage

I will try to find a solution for this.

FYI I'm trying to autostart radio streams.

Hi timflan,

so something seems to be different on your system.

What output device do you use? USB DAC, I2S DAC or built-in like HDMI?

It's very confusing. Was using the RPi analog out for simplicity; assuming fewer moving parts were better. So now I've got my Behringer UCA202 connected, and guess what?
It still doesn't autostart, whether I reboot, power-down and then physically reconnect the power, or physically remove power, wait, and re-connect.
I've now tried disabling Spotify, disabling the HDMI and 3.5mm outputs, and disabling lots of other seemingly unrelated options under Settings and MPD. No luck!

Hello
This is my first post in this forum. I have a Rasberry pi 3 model b in combination with a Iqaudio amp + (pi-digiamp +) and a 7 inch touchscreen and runeaudio 0.4-beta. Thanks to the hints everything runs smoothly except for the autostart function. The system is in my workshop. usually an Internet radio stream should be played automatically. In addition, I have created on my pc a release of my music folder so I can hear other music. After deactivating the autoupdate of the music database, this worked fine after several reboots and shutdowns. I was really happy about that I had an onetouch-system to start my "radio" with a push of a single button. After that I shut down my PC and with it my network folder. After restarting the autoplay did not work anymore. The player is in position stop and i have to press again separately on play to hear my internet radio station. Oviously autoplay collides with the update of the music database or the search for temporarily unreachable network folders. Is there a solution for this problem?

@janui

Thank you for your answer
I have tried your suggestion. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. If i start runeaudio and my network folder is not reachable the autoplay will not work. Activating the network folder within a short period of time (~ 30 sec) will result in a successful autoplay. If I wait longer to turn on the network folder, the automatic playback does not start. If my network folder is reachable, everything works fine. Of course, this is not a solution, because the folder is located on my windows pc and I have this
should be in operation to enable automatic playback.

Thanks alot
This is the solution. The automatic start of my webstream now works even if the network drive is not connected. The only thing I have to do in addition is a manual remount of my network folder, if I want to hear music from it. I can live very well with that.
