RPi-Jukebox-RFID: 🐛 | Streams and Podcasts take very long to play / don't play at all

Bug

I downloaded the sample content which includes podcasts and streams. All the local files play smoothly. However, streams take very long to start playing and podcasts do nothing at all. Podcast even seem to block/crash phoniebox and I have to reboot (which takes much longer than usually).

I run Phoniebox 2.0 RC8 on the develope branch but had the same problem with versions. At some point I thought it was a DNS problem #663 but that didn’t fix it. Right now I configured 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as DNS. static domain_name_servers=1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 in /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Example for podcast http://www.kakadu.de/podcast-kinderhoerspiel.3420.de.podcast.xml

Example for stream http://br-br2-nord.cast.addradio.de/br/br2/nord/mp3/56/stream.mp3

Any idea where I could start looking for a solution?

Uh, I might have just found the solution: I changed back the DNS in sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf from 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 back into the IP of the router (in my case 192.168.188.1). Now streams take a few seconds to start playing. Podcasts take some more time but they do play.

While I’m happy about having found a solution I’m quite surprised that the Cloudflare DNS didn’t work.

Update I did some more testing: Other DNS services (for example Google) work as well. Only cloudflare seems to create problems. The only thing which does not work is podcasts via spotify.
