Mopidy-WaitForInternet 0.1.1

Mopidy extension that waits for internet connection during early startup.

Mopidy extension that waits (up to around 5 minutes) for an internet connection during early phase of Mopidy startup (before other extensions start to initialize).

Installation

Install by running:

pip install Mopidy-WaitForInternet

Configuration

This extension has no configuration options in mopidy.conf apart from the default enabled setting:

[waitforinternet]
# To temporary disable this extension without uninstalling it
enabled = false

Usage

This extension will delay initialization of other Mopidy extensions until an internet connection has been initialized (for up to around 5 minutes).

Mopidy-WaitForInternet might be useful if other Mopidy extensions (e.g. extensions for online music streaming services) fail to initialize, because they try to connect to internet resources before machine running Mopidy has established an internet connection (e.g. connected to wifi).

Important internals

Mopidy-WaitForInternet uses several different URLs (currently - requests to public DoH servers) to check internet connectivity. As a future-proofing measure there is a weekly servers-test build that verifies availability of these URLs.
