hello, i used dietpi current version on a pi3b+ and updated to lms 8.1.0. When trying to play a radiostation, (which url is correct played with e.g. vlc), after a few seconds an error appears “empty playlist”. The Icon, artist and title are displayed ok. Sometimes only the Tunein Icon is displayed. I did a fresh install of current dietpi on pi4 4GB and fresh installed lms 8.1.1. There seems to be the same problem, my radio stations are not played. I did a test with picoreplayer on the same device, installed lms and everything works like it should. I contacted lms-team already, they do not find an error in the lms logs. Any ideas are welcome. Regards, droogi ---

Hi, did you tried using normal Raspberry OS? because DietPi is a set of scripts on top of Raspberry OS. Would be interesting to see how a normal Raspberry OS behave. ---
