When you get stuck at the MAFW Position 0 .. skip to the next song. It usually wakes up after that. I've gotten that one once or twice as well and can't figure it out. Everything in my code seems fine, it tries to load the URL into MAFW.. but MAFW just hiccups for some unknown reason. I've also had it once or twice just stop playing mid song and looking at a terminal it goes to a BUFFERING and gets stuck at like 69 or 70 and never goes anywhere. I can usually get that to restart by pausing and then playing again.

These shouldn't happen every other time though.. that seems overly drastic. Not sure whats going on in yours.

Maybe if I put in a small 1-2 second pause/wait before loading the first song it might solve your problem. Perhaps I'm flooding MAFW too quickly.
