I've raised this bug http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2682
for issues displaying artwork in 6.2.1 however for me it is with Mac
OSX and ALAC/AAC files so may not be the same as the problem you are

I paused inside a title. When I restarted after half an hour or so, the

I use a static IP now for the SB so this is definitely no DHCP issue.
