I recently replaced the worn-out X86_64 machine that used to run LMS with a Raspberry Pi 4B running Rasberry Pi OS and (usually) the latest nightly of LMS 8.2.0. Setting everything up from scratch and not even referring to the previous settings, I've had a lot of problems with the AirPlay Bridge. Fortunately, in most cases I have been able to figure out what I did wrong to cause the problems. This is one of the exceptions.
Whenever the Pi reboots, the bridge starts up with LMS, but it never finds its players (five in all). After LMS has been running a few minutes, I can restart the bridge, and it will quickly connect with the players. The following errors in the server log seem to occur while it is successfully connecting with the players: Code: -------------------- [21-01-29 07:29:31.9418] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1266) Warning: [07:29:31.9412] Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/RaopBridge/HTML/EN/plugins/RaopBridge/settings/basic.html line 108.

I don't have any reason to think it's related, but maybe I should mention that three of the five speakers that I use with the bridge require encryption. Without having any actual knowledge of the code involved, my uninformed guess is that the bridge is starting up too early. If that is the problem, is there anything I can do to delay its startup?
