Well, thanks Kev, it seems you were right. The volume increase only
affected players which were linked to Spotify Connect. Removing the link
seems to have cured the problem and as I don't use Connect too much then
it won't be too much of a hardship to do without.

My prefs file is showing volume values of 76 for a number of players.
Amending and saving does not help the problem, neither does deleting the
file and letting LMS recreate one. I am reluctant to have to do this but
wonder if a compete reinstall is the only solution?
Steve
I did, yes but sadly it hasn't touched the problem. Sometimes the jump
in volume is immediately after a server restart, sometimes there is a
delay. It's very disconcerting!

Still struggling with this issue. The volume keeps increasing to 76 of
its own accord. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this or how
to track this down? It's distressing for Mrs Shozzer when she presses

It may need a full rescan rather than just a new and changed media files

When were the appended tracks added? I have noticed that if I add a
track in the closing few seconds of the track that is playing the
appended track doesn't start automatically. Other than that I don't
experience this issue.

I use Windows 10 with Trackstat and found that startup was painfully

you try the LMS DB Optimizer plugin. That seemed to speed up my start

This thread has come very much in handy today after one of my Radios

Ok, I can report vastly improved performance following the uninstall and
reinstall of plugins. Start up time is measured in seconds as opposed to
minutes. My system does a full rescan every night and I see that last
night's took 13 minutes working on the following library size:

If you prepare artwork prior to ripping with dBpoweramp then a separate
album art image is prepared in addition to imbedding the art. Google
images is a good place to acquire album art.
