Not to jinx things, but just reporting that doing nothing, I've not had
any issues for 2 or more weeks. I'm chalking this up to some external
internet provider short term issues that are now resolved. Fingers
crossed.

To identify whether buffering was caused by LMS or external, "proxied"
streaming was turned off as well as setting "Advanced/Network/Streaming
mode" to normal.
Those measure can

thanks @bpa. This is very useful. I mostly wanted to eliminate
something obvious about the player or the LMS server as a problem. I'm
99.9% sure that's true now (with your help). So my focus will be on
the network. It's not other users, or other programs

As Transporter cannot play AAC natively and no older SB player can
handle HTTPS - a test stream has to be a HTTP/MP3 stream with no
redirection to HTTPS.

A symptom of "March Madness"?
I have noticed the same, in general especially when a couple of games
were on.
2 Duets controllers, 1 X Boom, 1 X Radio
1 X Receiver + Edifier S1000DB
1 X Receiver + Yamaha RX-A2000, Polk M70
1 X Receiver + Boston MicroSystem CD
Raspberry Pi 3 B+ HiFi Berry Amp2
What is your network topology ? (e.g. some powerline devices have
intermittentd gaps in service - no loss with web page or files but
noticeable with audio/video)
What are the symptoms of "buffering"
Is it the word "buffering" appearing or gaps in audio without loss or
gaps where audio is lost
