Thanks for the suggestion. I have set player.source logging to Info. Below extract shows song successfully playing at 17.39 using the default convert.conf. I then stopped the LMS server, added the custom-convert.conf, restarted it and tried to play the same song at 17.44. For some reason it then fails to start streaming ...
