Ok, I think I've pinpointed the problem. Bad news is I probably can't do a whole lot about it... So I ended up installing LMS v.7.9.1 found here on the forum. At first I was hopefull. Rebuilding my library was a lot faster than before. In about 15 minutes it was done. When playing one of the aff

So I moved one of the affected albums to a test folder on my NAS. It didn't help however. Dropouts are still present like before. I rebooted the laptop and started LMS as administrator but this also didn't change anything. Some observations though: -Copying of this album to the NAS with file e

The server is on Windows 10. It has no additional AV except what is build in to Windows 10. I tried disabling both Firewall and Windows AV on the server but the problem persists. I will try pointing LMS to the NAS later today. I will keep you informed. -

Is the server on Windows? If so look at the firewall and any AV thatÂ’s running and switch off temporarily. Also try pointing LMS at a shared drive on the NAS and playing same files from there - different disks VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606

Hmmm... I just converted one of the affected albums to FLAC and reloaded the library. When playing these FLAC songs the problem persists. So it's not a transcoding issue after all. It seems like it has to do with bandwith. This still is strange because like I said, the PC is on ethernet, just a

Yes I get them on all devices. I should add that when LMS was installed on my Synology NAS I had drops as well when playing ALAC. But then the drops only happened on the Squeezebox that was furthest away from my router. Probably because of the poor wifi connection it has. All the others kept on

There are new builds out which should work for you, too. It changes the behaviour in that it does a "sanity" check (not really sane, but better than nothing) about the db file's size. If it's larger than 1GB, then it wouldn't store it in memory, but use disk instead. Even if dbhighmem was enabled

Now that's interesting. How do scan times compare? Because I thought that "max" would greatly improve scan times for what I considered large collections (>50k :-)). The good news is that the analyse part seems to run fine (and that's the important part!). Only the vacuum is causing problems. I r
