Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
Now after testing for almost 2 weeks, I still cannot nail it down as a network or a router error (despite shutting down all my 4 gigabit routers). However, I noticed the bug was more pronounced when I used iPeng to play. Once I forward a track and let the music plays in the background, it'll only take a few songs (or perhaps a few dozen songs) before the "playing beyond track" starts all over again, and forwarding the jammed track via iPeng will also produce the bug much more matured than if I use LMS.

Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
In my case I know which device it is, it's the router :) It's having these issues with almost all of my devices (excluding, interestingly, the Squeezeboxes, but the server might be affected, too), I've seen similar issues with other people and other devices (including Squeezeboxes). It might be a chipset compatibility issue or something. Anyway, short term it often helps to restart the router. At least in my case it comes back (longer term), though so I use another router. It's definitely not the only issue at hand, though. I think there might also be a software issue on the server side or a protocol issue or something but obviously sometimes the internal position within the server gets out of sync with reality causing trouble.

The problem in this case (and I have seen that with my router many times but I can rule it out for the latest incident since I don't use it for streaming anymore due to this) is stalling streams.

Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
For me, it will continue playing through the following tracks without a problem. It is only when I happen to check the web UI or an app on my tablet that I notice it has lost its place. Usually I just let it stay behind and keep listening. I have restarted my router a number of times and tried changing the configuration to try to establish a pattern, all to no avail. I will restart everything again and try today. Although this is mildly annoying, I still prefer all the improvements made in 7.9 to any inconvenience in the display. 7.9 converted me to a web UI user, even on my tablet.

Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
Agreed. This shows the problem is all over, not player/architecture dependent. Communication/protocol could still be the culprit. That is why I mentioned in my earlier post some strange "cannot connect to server" messages that flash for less than a second, which seem like a false-negative since the music never stops and LMS web-UI has the problem, not the player itself. It is odd that LMS seems schizophrenic. LMS falls behind, not the track playing on the player. LMS knows to send track 3 and does so successfully, the player continues playing track 3, but LMS web-UI displays track 2 as current track. LMS knows enough to send the next track and continues with track 4 too. Sometimes I think it just stays stuck on track 2; usually it just stays 1 track behind. I don't see dropouts or buffering issues. Rarely, it will stop at the end of a track and I need to play a track explicitly to get the UI and player back in sync. I only mentioned player sync before because I know that sync has the most complicated logic and this requires LMS to know what is on all players and exactly where the players are at (since it can force corrections to bring players back in sync). For me, I think a work-around may be to avoid playing an album while one is currently playing. I will try to pause play, clear the playlist, add the next album, then start play. Perhaps that will avoid the problem. I have seen the problem mostly when I alter the playlist while it is playing. When I lined up 4 hours of short (pop music) tracks and let it go, it played without a problem. dbm204's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65916 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106111 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
I think it's either the player doing something wrong when it's supposed to go to the next track, but given that these were very different players (my problem was with iPeng as a player which makes it three different implementations now) I doubt it's the software in the player itself, maybe the protocol.

However, lightning888 said in an earlier post that this occurred with an SB3. For me, it is a transporter. So it may be an ipv3 issue (is that what the original architecture is called?). I never see it when I listen through my computer using squeezelite. Here is what I usually see (I freely admit this scenario may be just a coincidence). Would others who have seen the problem please confirm if they also see this behaviour. This happens with any FLAC file. I don't play much mp3 so I can't be absolutely sure but I don't think it is file or tag related. While playing, the screen flashes "cannot find server ... " and then immediately switches back to the song title. This can happen repeatedly and often. The issue where LMS loses track of which song it is on occurs when the "cannot find server" flashes near the end of a song, presumably when LMS is preparing for the next song. The next song will come on but LMS on the device and on the webpage (as well as tablet apps) all show the previous song. As I said, the "cannot find server" always flashes for only an instant like it loses sight of the server for just a moment. The time in between each "cannot find server" can be many minutes or just seconds but each time it only lasts a fraction of a second until the song title flashes back. I have never said anything about this because I was, and remain, too happy with 7.9 to let this little blip concern me. And I know that this message will lead many (as it did myself) to suspect it is just a network/router problem. My LMS computer and my transporter are both wired. I assign both their IP addresses on the router using IP reservation by mac id. The computer and transporter are both using DHCP. I used to use assigned IP addresses on both devices (not DHCP) but changed that awhile ago to try to track this down to no avail. The way I get out of this problem is to select play on a specific song (next/prev song won't do it -- it remains off by one song) and LMS gets itself and the player back in sync with the file actually playing. Only rarely will music stop at the end of a song at which point I have to explicitely play the next song. I forget if pressing next works. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem manually. I just have to wait for it to happen. If someone can tell me what log settings to use to capture "cannot find server" messages on the devices, I can turn that on and wait for it to happen. I always suspected that if the message is generated on the device by the firmware then we won't see it in the LMS log. But, on the other hand, LMS web UI and tablet apps also get out of sync so there must be something happening on the LMS side. I can't say which side started it.

Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
I was afraid that was the case. That's an outdated 7.9 beta build known to have issues, maybe you can get a 7.8. version unless you need the new 7.9 features.

Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
I agree, the server would convert it back to FLAC anyway. With some FLAC files there are issues with the compression used but that would typically rather mean playback breaks off. Your LMS version is old, the first thing to do should be to try to update it. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106111 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I seriously doubt your suggestions work, as it was a FLAC file, even if I convert to a WAV file it won't make a difference. It'll play and advance to the next track, coz when I rewind the same track, it'll advance to the next track. lightning888's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66034 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106111 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
I wanted to add that in LMS interface the playing showed "0:00" time left for the song, but it doesn't advance to the next song. Whereas in iPeng it played beyond the file's actual length and showed 4:30 when it's supposed to finish at 4:00. Appreciate feedback from this community.
