Hopefully this is in the right place as I haven't been able to
completely be sure where the issue lies.

I'm having a problem in the last couple of days playing tracks over 10
minutes from Spotify via Chromecast Audio and Airplay

The Following instances

1)  track Shine on you crazy Diamond parts 1-7 duration 17:32 from
spotify over airplay bridge. Track ends prematurely around 12 minutes
and crossfades with the next rack in the queue. I have this track
locally but at a lower bit rate and it played right through.

2) track Schuberts Octet 1st movement
https://open.spotify.com/track/7abavMfKPzktTyEHDnoJkd. duration 14:52
Track ended around 11 minutes. I don't have this track locally but
another version of the same piece of music at a low bit rate and this
played fine.

I checked the airplay log, the chromecast log and the LMS log. I get
this warning repeatedly during the airplay session. 

[21-07-23 16:50:46.1592] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1341) Warning:

line xxx.

In the Chromecast log though I Get the following issue

        album:Schubert: Octet D 803

The final test was then to enable debug logging on the spotty plugging
as I thought that might be the issue and played the Schubert Octet again
and it played without issue.

So I'm thinking that the problem is in the chromecast bridge with the
track being shorter than expected. Is this potentially  an intermittent
buffering issue? I seem to recall another report of problems with long
songs but I can't seem to find it now.

Any help gratefully received. Its a big pain with classical music where
track durations over 10 minutes are quite common 

Thanks
