This feels like LMS is tied up doing some other task (e.g. scanning)
The Boom knob is not a potentiometer but a rotary encoder.
Check with Philippe, he may have a spare left see

OK - that probably rules out WLAN card although I had a failing WLAN
card in a SB3 which caused resets even if using cable connection.
If Boom is unusable - replacing WLAN card is
When WLAN card starts to fail - it happens gradually - so need to
confirm that when you tested with cable, you verified that cable
networking was being used (e.g. checked on Router, maybe LMS information
page) - just plugging a cable into player will not change over from Wifi
to cable.
edit:
IIRC The Boom PSU needs a high current rating as there is surge on power
on when charging the internal hicap
Also the PSU on pre-production Booms were 18V 1.67A - it'll work but
lots of excess heat.

Radio is part of LMS and works with Tune-in.
RadioNet is a plugin I wrote and takes station list from the Radio.net

The WLAN card in Boom, SB2, Sb3, Classic,Transporter and Receiver often
fails but in a gradual erratic way - one way oftens reset the device
after a few minutes.
The WLAN card is easy and cheap ($/£/5-10) to replace.
PSU failure (i.e low voltage/current) can also result in strange

To see if the problem is network related rather than content - try using
"proxed streaming". For Boom MP3/WMA internet radio streams (i.e. TCP
http/GET connection ) goes straight from broadcaster to Boom - only
metadata is sent to LMS. With proxied streams internet radio goes from

The WLAN cards in SB3, Boom and transporter can fail gradually causing
partial powerups before finally preventing player boot. The WLAN card
is easiily replaced and replacements

You can also replace the wifi card in Boom as it is a plugin. You don't
need a new card as there are (were ?) plenty of wifi card from old
