I think I got Jorge's issue but was suggesting an alternative.

Are we missing the step of reloading the log or are we reloading the last
log on startup of rdairplay?

Perhaps a little comparison video 2.x/3.x of the "same log" and how it
works on 2.x versus 3.x would be good documentation?

I have an "extra" 3.x box I could use to shoot the 3.x video if anyone can
do the 2.x...
