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

It still surprises me that failing PSU (and probably aging hardware) can
cause problems that seemingly are not PSU related.

This is getting a bit off topic.
SB_SERVER_IP is not in squeezelite code - so there is something else
which sets it up.
This where things get fuzzy.

Don't think so.
I can't see any option which lets squeezelite choose which network
interface it is supposed to use.
Looking at the code - unless mac address has been defined

I got the PM and all looks OK.
The all zeros MAC may be a red herring -

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.

Squeezelite normally takes the MAC address of the network interface but
can be overridden by a command line option.
You can list all network interfaces using "ifconfig -a"

Apologies for the dumb answer!
It's Squeezelite v1.9.9-1401 on a Pi4 running Buster.
SB3 -> Quad 909 -> Quad Electrostatic speakers, Quad 405 -> TBI

3 x SB3s + SB
Which player type has the 00 address?
The solution is different depending on player type.

I wouldn't bother with 7.9.2 as that is an old system with some out of

8.3.0 mainly has bug fixes over 8.2.* but it is easier to lookup exact
source code on my installation and on github.

Yep that log file was from 7.9.2. Identical problem with 8.2.1.

Weird error. First thought is network issue - some data is being lost.
However, I can't associate the log message with source code files. Is
the log from 7.9.2 ?
Ifs so get a log from 8.2.1 or better 8.3.0.
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
29 matches
