Home Assistant not connecting

[croixpond]

I've never used MA much in the past, today I decided to try it out. It was still tied to my Spotify account which I don't use anymore so I switched it over to Deezer using the ARL token and it seemed to load up Ok, but then when I tried to play music it said "Connection lost" and is kicking out these log entries:

Logger: music_assistant_client.connection

I'm just using it on my laptop, no external speakers and I have a very strong and fast wifi signal. Any ideas? Thanks!

So you have HA running on your laptop somehow and you have added MA as an app to that I assume?

free -h says it has 1.9 GB with 1.6 GB used.

I removed Music Assistant, rebooted, added Music Assistant, rebooted. It "seemed" to work. This is the log file:

I again added Deezer to Music Assistant and it seemed to work ok. Then I tried playing some tracks and on the second one it popped up the "Connection Lost" error box. It's still displaying that error several minutes later.

Correct you have insufficent RAM and MA is getting shutdown. We say minimum 4GB but 8GB may be necessary to use all of the latest features https://www.music-assistant.io/installation/#server-notes

[croixpond]

OK, that makes sense, guess I'm going RAM shopping. Thanks for the quick response!
