Yes and No - failures often have backup retry mechanism which have fixed
timeouts. Also with large files - timing can become very consistent as
caches etc are exhausted.
So wifi issues couldn't be excluded - rememebr it is the player which
tells LMS when the internal buffer has reached a threshold and so LMS
can give the command to start playing.
The is when LMS has decided how to play the files (i.e. direct by
Touch)
Code:
--------------------
[17-10-31 19:06:05.6479] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::getConvertCommand2
(428) Matched: flc->flc via: -
--------------------
This is when the player has told LMS that it has enough data to start
playing - about 28 secs later.
Code:
--------------------
[17-10-31 19:06:33.9986]
Slim::Player::StreamingController::playerTrackStarted (2286) 00:04:20:22:31:6d
--------------------
It is possible to get more details of buffer filling/ fullness by
enabling the slimproto logging

According to the log the file is being treated as a Flac file and sent
to the player unprocessed. If there is 25Mb of filler in the header of
the file which may be the cause of the delay - the whole file is sent to
player serially and player has to get past the filler. Still taking 30
secs to skip past 25Mbytes seems to be a bit slow.
If you are still curious - I'd investigate the 25Mbytes difference
betrween the two files - is it compression, tags or a bit of both ?
That said - there may be better uses of your time.
