Thanks for the clarification!

I am using Version 3.5.8402, I did not see at "automatic retry" options in preferences but may have missed it...

My Win 10 system gets put to sleep each night, in the morning it automatically wakes but Musicbee has the error message "Unable to open stream (error=48)". I am guessing that windows has yet to get the network up and running before Musicbee attempts to open the stream.
Is their a way to make Musicbee re-try XX times OR delay the initial attempt to load the stream url for xx seconds?

Good point!
if this option was available it should default to "off", only available if the user preferences is set up correctly.

For the last few months I have been enjoying using MB as my internet Radio player with the theater mod & "Cine view" enabled, with this setup I get a photo that is closely related to the artist that is playing and many times have resulted in me or others walking up to my stereo system to see the photo on the monitor, I may attempt to get MB to cast to my TV...

Previously I been using TapinRadio (windows application) to organize & play internet Radio, the TapinRadio software will attempt to re-acquire a radio station that stops playing based on user settings, it also will attempt to re-acquire the station after the computer is woken from a sleep state, better than 90% of the time the station successfully starts playing again.
This is great for my use scenario, which uses a dedicated computer as a music source to my stereo system which I put to sleep each night and is scheduled to wake up each morning.

My request would be to make MB re-acquire an internet radio station when streaming is interrupted and when the computer is woken from a sleep state. If this realized it would simplify my life, isn't that what we all want?

Bug Reports / Re: Musicbee Will not resume from Sleep Mode

Wow...
Your reply brings up way more possibilities than I thought about. Your assumption was correct, I am using windows 10 on my dedicated music computer, I will look at some of these areas you mentioned.
I am currently using the "TapinRadio" app on the same computer for my internet radio listening, this app works well transitioning from the Sleep to Wake modes, it also plays the music left in the buffer when the computer was put to sleep while automatically re-connecting to the radio station URL to resume station playback (different song) without any human intervention.   This is what I was hoping for from Music Bee and I figured if TapinRadio performed this way that Music Bee should be able to do the same thing on the same OS.
This is not a typical scenario and probably is not tested during most software development, Raimersoft (Tapinradio) had the same problem with this issue but after I pointed it out they fixed it.

I don't know if the Windows team intentionally changes system settings after an update (thinking they know best) or if this issue is an over site in the middle of a very challenging task, at one time media streaming was shut off every time Windows was updated, they finally fixed this.

MusicBee Wishlist / Further development of Internet radio support
« on: June 06, 2018, 05:01:08 PM »
I have copied some internet radio URLs into the Musicbee Radio tab and found that the ability to organize the radio stations is very limited.
The application I normally use for Internet radio is "Tapinradio", this application allows me to organize my stations in a two level hierarchical fashion so I can have a "blues" category with all of my blues stations under it.
The ability for Musicbee to load and display artist info in theater mode from the internet while playing internet radio is VERY Nice!

Bug Reports / Musicbee Will not resume from Sleep Mode
« on: June 06, 2018, 04:42:04 PM »
When using Music Bee 3.1.6590...
I have a dedicated computer to listen to my music collection & internet radio,
we use the "Sleep" button each night when we go to bed, the next day we "wake" the
computer and music bee resumes playing but only the audio that was in the buffer,
it stops playing after about 3 seconds, while in theater mode the background art
continues to be updated but no music is played. To start the music I need to open
the play list panel an click the item in the list (the internet radio station)
to restart the Internet Radio station again.
In preferences-playback I have selected the option to resume playback on startup.
When using other apps (Tapinradio...) the music always resumes when the computer is wakened.
This issue is 100% repeatable.
