Help!
I cannot get it to work. I also created a github issue (Web radio live streams don’t play; HTTP delivery aborts with Write failed [521] / End of file reached [304] · Issue #379 · toniebox-reverse-engineering/teddycloud · GitHub) but have no clue if soemone is even working on the repo.
It would ne awsome if someone has an idea, what is wrong with my serup.
Describe the bug
Streaming web radio streams do not play on the Toniebox.
teddyCloud starts ffmpeg, decodes the live MP3 stream to PCM (48 kHz, s16le, stereo), and writes to the .stream (TAF) file.
After the prebuffer period, the HTTP delivery to the client aborts with:
Encoding aborted, active flag set to false, preceded by Write failed [521] and later End of file reached [304].
No audio is heard on the Toniebox.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
-
Create a tag configured as a live web radio stream:
{ "live": true, "nocloud": true, "source": "https://streams.radiobob.de/numetal/mp3-192/", "skip_seconds": 0, "cache": false, "cloud_ruid": "0000000000000", "cloud_auth": "0000000000000000000000000000000", "cloud_override": false, "tonie_model": "10000974", "hide": false, "claimed": false, "_version": 5 } -
Configure tag settings:
- Force restart: off
- Sweep prebuffer: on
- Stream buffer: 20000 ms (also tested with 30000 ms)
-
Start the Toniebox and trigger playback of that tag.
-
Observe teddyCloud logs — ffmpeg starts, decodes, and writes PCM data to
.stream. -
After ~20–60 seconds, teddyCloud aborts delivery, and the box never plays audio.
Expected behavior
After the configured prebuffer (e.g. 20 seconds), the Toniebox should start playback and continue streaming without interruptions.

Additional context
teddyCloud successfully decodes the stream and writes data to disk (e.g. size=12137kB, time=00:01:04.73), but the write to the HTTP client fails with broken pipe.
This seems to prevent the Toniebox from ever starting playback.
