Hello,

After carefully checking through my logs, I get the following feeling
that might give you more hints on the full case :

Problem n°1 and Problem n°2 are linked : they both appeared at the
very same time. What made the problem start was a slight change in the
script to give the play.m3u a much higher refresh rate (every few
minutes or so instead of every few hours).

As I told earlier, the problem with the "one-title playlist"
(play.m3u) tends to go from bad to worse as time goes by (at first
it's a few times, then a few dozen times, and after some hours, I'm
flooded with several hundred of pages of refreshes).

My guess is : each time this playlist is refreshed, the bug makes the
refresh going a little worse. At the beginning it's not that bad, but
after a few dozens (hundreds?) of refreshes, liquidsoap really starts
to lose control.

When it was refreshed like, once every 10 hours, this was not a
problem : since the problem appears only after several dozens/hundreds
of refreshes, it would only become noticeable after several days,
perhaps even several weeks. Liquidsoap would either crash for some
other reason before the problem occured, or I would even relaunch it
myself because of some new script to load.
But when the list is refreshed every 5 or 10 minutes, then after 24-48
hours, the bug becomes unbearable.

How the two bugs are related, I don't know. I know they are because
they appeared at the exact same time. The very day I launched the new
script with high refresh rate, I had my first "successfully loaded a
playlist of 1 track" flood in my logs... and my first switch to
/backup.mp3 ever, a few hours later.

Either the switch to /backup.mp3 is caused by that playlist refresh
bug (maybe it struggles too much with loading that playlist to care
anymore about normal fallback operation ?), or they are both the
result of something else that they have in common.

Hope this helps.
