Intermitent xibo errors after a shutdown

Asked by james agada

Intermittently I get this error after restarting the python client or the entire box. I have to restart the client several times before it then starts working.

I'm assuming this is with the 1.2.x series client?

It's probably a race condition looking at the line that triggers it.

If you're using run_always.sh, the Python interpreter will exit with an error code and the loop in run_always will fire it straight back up as many times as it takes to get it running cleanly. You don't need to keep executing it.

If it's not restarting it for some reason, then I need to know what exit code the Python interpreter is giving or you can tweek run_always to not care if the client is exited cleanly and always restart it.
