Cannot listen any more playing web radio stream ! Please help asap !!!

Hello ,

I had this code below working ,but I made a change and now it is not working anymore, even than I have reverted back to the working version. I'm sure that the problem is coming from the version of WiFiManager and ESP32-AudioIS libraries I have installed, but unfortunately I have reformatted my laptop and I have reinstalled versions based on what I could remember from the past but I'm not sure which version I had.

The versions installed in my Arduino IDE are as following:

1. Boards Manager: ESP32 by Espressif System/ Version 2.0.13

2. Libraries : WifiManager by tzapu / Version 2.0.0-rc.1

3. Libraries: ESP32-audioI2S-master by schreibfaul1 / Version 2.0.0

Please , please provide any help with this issue. I'm struggling from hours with this.

Thanks !!
