Ok, i'm with you, thank you. The build 1313 definitely DID help. After a
few hours of listening, I got fewer interruptions. It paused twice in
the first 15 minutes, but after that, it only paused once or twice over
a few hours. 

What was the change you made? 

One suggestion: better logging. Usually the "info" loggers should show
what's happening, but the SqueezeLite info logs are not helpful at all.
A few strategic info() messages might help shine some light on what's
happening during the interruption. Also, is there any suitable error()
logging? (that is, if an error or timeout occurred, would we see it in
the logs?) Hopefully, all code has a try/catch and all caught exceptions
should log to the error logger. If error logs are missing, then it would
be helpful to add at least a few handlers, in strategic locations. In
particular, any external requests that might time-out after 1 minute,
should have an exception handler for the time-out, and to log a warning.


Also, if you can suggest any further troubleshooting or debugging steps,
I can easily try stuff on my side.

I totally agree, and so far, evidence only suggests it's a Windows
problem, but I don't know for sure. I have two windows machines that
both have this problem. 
With some effort, I could stand-up an Ubuntu VM, and try on that
platform. But I already have a piCorePlayer running on Pi3, so I'll test
that again on this network with piCorePlayer, and report back.
