The problem actually appears to be dependent on Squeezecenter uptime and
not the server it's installed on.  If I restart Squeezecenter, I can
synch any combination of players without a problem. However, after it's
been running for a period of time, synchronisation cannot be obtained
between any players.

When synch problems occur, the server.log looks pretty much the same as
those bits I originally posted and Multi-Player Synchronization Logging
is set to debug.  Does  "bailing as no playPoint" point to a problem
server side or player side? 

I haven't established what that period of time is other than it is less
than 24 hours but I guess there could be other variables such as load,
time synch'ed and unsynch'ed so that could be a quite a task.

I have turned off a lot of the plugins, including last.fm (a problem in
another thread), and currently have the following enabled:

Alien BBC
CLI
Date and Time Screensaver
Favorites
Podcasts
Random Mix
Rescan Music Library
Save Playlist
Server & Network Health
Slacker
Snow Screensaver
Sounds & Effects
Visualizer Screensaver

Note I had this problem prior to installing Alien BBC.


I doubt I have an obvious wireless issue - signal strength ranges from
60% to 90% depending on the box, there are no drop outs when playing
them independently, synch'ed (after a SC restart) and in some cases
when they're supposed to be synch'ed and I just leave them playing.  

As previously mentioned, I had no real synch issues with previous
versions of Slimserver other than the very occasional track starting
out of synch but that was immediately rectified by pressing play on the
remote of waiting for the next one to start.

I'm really struggling with this one and will have to roll back to
Slimserver and forget about the order for the Duet if it can't be
fixed.
