getTracksByAlbum reads the tracks for the current/selected album. Since
this is a simple operation, I'd assume your server is still busy with
some previous tasks - as the timeout is now much higher, you haven't
received a message about it. So you will get random timeouts from
various operations, and that's probably why there is no discernible
pattern.

I don't think there is a good solution for this. It makes no sense to
set the timeout for everything to a higher value by default, since in
nearly all cases this is counter productive (as any operation except
those already included in the preferences and maybe one or two more
taking that long would indicate a real issue on a regular setup, and
then you would get subsequent errors exactly as you are now seeing).
That being said, I've added two more parameters in v.0.7.6 (Ext_ ...
timeout - see the help text), which will affect every request made to
the server (most likely - can't really test it) - you can try increasing
those (although I would generally advise against changing them)

I'm not trying to downplay the issue, but I've only seen one post about
it (and the poster solved it by increasing the timeout to 45 secs).
Generally, the way the GUI works it simply needs a certain level of
performance from the server, or the user experience will be sub optimal.
