The all zero MAC would cause problems if it happened with a 2nd player in your local setup. Also, I suspect (not checked) that mysqueezebox filters them out otherwise it would cause problems with players from multiple people with same MAC - and the (claimed) MAC is fundamental to how things work.

Problem gone, fingers X'd I did some tests on the two "identical" original SB3 PSUs. Voltage with open circuit, and across a 2.1 ohm load. Good PSU: 5.12V / 4.65V Bad PSU : 5.15V / 4.35V The Bad PSU is in the bin! Thank you - I had swapped out everything bar the PSUs which didn't cross my mind as it all worked 99% of the time. This wont fix the much less important problem with playback of 192/24 FLACs in the other post since that stuttering occurs without any SB3 attached - just with Squeezelite. bpa wrote: > > MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00 still showing up - as this is not an > assigned MAC address - this usually implies something not setup > properly > FWIW I get a proper hex MAC code with ifconfig -a.

LMS Server IP address is separate from the network interface used by squeezelite to communicate with LMS. 1. the server IP is the address which squeezelite is sending requesting over a network interface. 2. squeezelite still has to find a network interface BEFORE it makes contact with server ip.

The all zeros MAC may be a red herring - but it doesn't look "normal" and I think it is worth chasing down - if only to eliminate it as an issue. Interesting about the older posts where a zeroes MAC might indicate a network that wasn't ready.

OK this is the command line to start squeezelite.
It is not using an option ("-m") to override MAC address.
LMS uses the MAC address as a unique ID to identify players.
The "ifconfig -a" command should list details for all network
interfaces.
Does the command "ifconfig -a" show a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00 for
any interface ?
For security it is prudent not to post your real MAC addresses.

Here's part of the log file from 8.3.0. The looping started at about 03.25am. I have the rest of the log if needed. I have ordered some new CAT6 cables.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Playback goes into 4 second loops on both wired Win10 and Pi4 LMS. Log file attached
I am running LMS 8.2.1 on a Pi4 and LMS 7.9.2 on Win10. I am testing them separately and get the same problem. Playback audio suddenly goes dead and it goes into a 4 second loop, as seen on the Win10 browser interface. Main points are: - testing with 2 sync'd SB3s - the Pi4 works fine with just Squeezelite, but problems start with sync'd SB3s - everything wired on a v good Gbit network - playing 44.1/16 FLACs - I have changed everything and get the same problem. Changed both SB3s, Router, Pi4 O/S (LMS 8.1.2 and 8.2.1), using WiFi instead of ethernet - it usually takes an hour + for the problem to occur. The latest Win10 test run took 6 hours to start looping (log attached). I attach the player.source debug info. In this example it started looping between 15:36 and 15:37. I am pulling my hair out with this. I have had 3-4 sync'd SB3s for 20 odd years and things have basically worked. I didn't use it for a couple of months due to a house move and now it's endless trouble. I have tried using exactly the same PlusNet router and have tried different routers. The fibre broadband here is a very stable 70+mb/s but that should be irrelevant for FLACs. I am unable to interpret the log.
