I'm not sure at this point - but I believe I've at least narrowed it down to
the server being on Windows.
Not just Windows, I have been experiencing similar behavior on Mac OS X 10.3.5. The problem seemed to start when I installed Slimserver 5.4 and the firmware that goes with it.
I have two Squeezeboxen and one Slimp3 I think, (not positive though) that it is the Squeezeboxen that are exhibiting the beahvior.
I had a similar problem with Slimsever 4.x where the Squeezeboxen and Slimp3 would randomly stop, and not restart, ( I had to manually restart them and they didn't reboot, I was just able to restart the music by pressing Play or advance to next song on the remote (->>) on any synched player) now it seems that the stopping, rebooting and restart happens more frequently than before. It is totally random (as far as I can tell) sometimes it may go for hours without rebooting, then do it several times in a row.
When it stops, all the devices stop playing, I do not think all reboot, but typically one of the Squeezeboxen will reboot and then the music will restart with the song that was playing and synchronized on all devices. The behavior also occurs when either of the Squeezeboxen are playing alone (usually not playing the Slimp3 alone)
My Music network is a separate network from my normal network. The network consists of an iMac G4 FP, 800 MHZ 768MB RAM running Mac OS X 10.3.5 (dedicated to serving music on Slimserver), an Airport express and two wireless Squeezeboxen and a Slinm3 with a WET-11 wireless network adapter. This is all that is on the music network and it is on channel 1 and my other network is on channel 7. Activity on the other (non-music) network seems to have no effect as I experience as many restarts when the other network is quiet as when very, very busy, so I don't think there is network interactivity.
I hope this other data point will help to isolate the problem.
