I too had a bricked PI - suspect that it was due to my omission -- failure to install the 2 heatsinks.

Could you please confirm whether or not your failed PI had the heatsinks installed...

BUG: Program dies due to uncaught exception

Details:

When updating the metadata/"tags" to IceCast, if the connection has 
died for some reason, LAN goes down, what ever... There is an uncaught 
exception which will kill OP25 running.

This is not about an issue with the connection, there was, and 
eventually led to the Pi being replaced as faulty or melted down from 
use of OP25 :) ;)

If the max retries is exceeded or any error where the update fails, it 
shouldn't kill OP25 from running...

Glad to add to the issues section of github, but see top part, for 
some reason its not there. (??????)
