Another one with the same problem.

It looks like the radio.fr category and country links are in "maintenance mode"?

well I'm facing the same "network error" often every other day. I hard restart my raspi and it starts working again without probs. I thought its just my internal network. but it seem to be coming from the radio.de app. looking at these threads. Usually my raspi is running 24/7 and the only thing I do is streaming radiobob or hr radio in Germany.
Next morning when I come downstairs the I get the error occasionally that's when I do the restart.

Hi all. It looks like this is just the server being overloaded. HTTP 503 means the service is temporarily unavailable. I've never seen this error until today. I hope it's going to go away automatically.

It would be nice if the plugin would be able to fall back to alternative servers (if there are any).

Same issues here in Germany...also after restart no connection. This behavior does happen since two months at least every 2nd day min.
