I was looking at Volumio for a different perspective on the problem. They do indeed appear to be having a similar issue, but maybe for an entirely different reason! I got confused by their discussion. Thanks for your response. If LMS is attempting to fill a 30 second buffer while downloading the file and failing, then something must be wrong with the connection to the RP server, or the process on the RP server itself. I note that while this failure is ongoing, if I hit the >| button to just go on to the next song, that usually works without having to go backwards to the beginning of the file and starting over. . *Living Room:* SB Touch + DIY PSU > CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU > VRX.1 cables > Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2 preamp + XPA-DR2 amp > Blue Jeans cables > B&W 804 speakers *Laptop:* System76 Galago + Ubuntu 16.04 + Squeezelite + Material Skin > Emotiva Little Ego DAC > Senn IE 80 earbuds *Phone:* Pixel 3a Phone + BubbleUPnP + Kiwi/Material > Bluetooth > Bose SoundLink Revolve *Server:* Puget Systems Serenity + Ubuntu 18.04 + LMS 7.9.2 *Music:* Personal FLAC, Radio Paradise FLAC, Qobuz, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108189 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
