Since the system as created only a few weeks agoi I presume it is using the latest max2play and a Pi3. I also assume the album track are on a sdcard and not a USB disk drive or USB stick.

IIRC This download starts usually about 10sec before end of the playing track - I can't remember how LMS calculates when to start - probably due to buffer size. Since short track play OK on LM S and squeezelitre - I think your problem is specific to your setup which could include alsa & buffer setting on squeezelite. The MP3 files will be very small. SDcard and USB stick can be slow and if LMS has overlap disk reading and processing may be slow - it may be that LMS cannot get the data for the next track -read in, processed and then sent to player before the currently playing track has finished as currently track is so small. The fact that one folder works and another doesn't might imply that files in "faulty" folder are very fragmented requiring multiple sector reads (i.e. cached readaheads don't help) whereas the working folder tracks are contiguous and cached readaheads make reading the file quicker. If tracks are on sdcard then class of card may be significant. Any message in server.log ? If no then enable player.source to INFO as this will give info about track starts & stops - the downside is that logging will do more i/o to card/disk which may exacerbate the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109569 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
