Hello, As a newbie here, Id like to say first and foremost a big thanks to all of you who work to keep the LMS and associated stuff working; Ive been using it daily for 10 years and love it.
Heres my problem: about 3 months ago I signed up with Tidal (regular not HiFi) and for the first few weeks it was fantastic; we have 2x Boom, 3x UE Radio (running Squeezebox firmware), 1x SqueezePlay on Win10, 1x SoftSqueeze on Win10, and LMS running on a Synology DS918+. We have a Gigabit wired backbone and 8 wireless APs (due to thick stone walls). We could play Tidal synced to all players through the whole building it was perfect! Then Tidal started skipping tracks; Id line up an album and it would start playing the first track and then after a few seconds skip to the next track, play a bit of that and then proceed to similarily skip through the remaining tracks, sometimes up to a minute, some not even starting. It happens regardless of using one or multiple players, wired or wireless. Ive been pulling my hair out trying to analyse what the problem(s) could be. I can only play Tidal music with no skipping if I change the player music source to mysqueezebox.com and thus bypassing LMS. Playing Tidal music via the app on the iPhone over WLAN is problem free. I have upgraded to LMS 8. I have rebooted the ADSL router (an Orange Livebox V4). The Synology NAS is at the current DSM level, and it has a CPU load of below 10% when LMS is running, memory utilisation is 20%, 16% of a 20TB RAID5 volume used, all healthy. I dont believe it is a LAN/WLAN problem as everything works perfectly playing 320kbps mp3s from the NAS on LMS 8. We have an average ADSL internet performance of 14 / 1 mbps in/out, and Netflix/VuDu work fine; Ive tried stopping everything, but it doesnt seem to be internet bandwidth related. Having said that, Squeezeplay has a Buffering - Now Playing - Connecting, Buffering - Now Playing - Connecting cycle where the buffering gets up to about 30% progress, the track starts playing, then the buffer goes back down to about 10% and then skips to the next track. Looking at the LMS log file it seems to be trying to connect to www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com a lot: "[20-09-14 16:54:14.9467] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::resolve (43) Using cached DNS response 63.34.162.152 for www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com [20-09-14 16:54:15.5622] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::__ANON__ (75) Got DNS response 151.101.122.142 for ab-pr-fa.audio.tidal.com (ttl 30) [20-09-14 16:54:28.8507] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::resolve (43) Using cached DNS response 63.34.162.152 for www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com [20-09-14 16:54:29.3745] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::resolve (43) Using cached DNS response 151.101.122.142 for ab-pr-fa.audio.tidal.com [20-09-14 16:54:42.4413] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::resolve (43) Using cached DNS response 63.34.162.152 for www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com [20-09-14 16:54:42.9871] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::resolve (43) Using cached DNS response 151.101.122.142 for ab-pr-fa.audio.tidal.com [20-09-14 16:54:47.7680] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::resolve (43) Using cached DNS response 63.34.162.152 for www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com [20-09-14 16:54:48.3835] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::__ANON__ (75) Got DNS response 151.101.122.142 for ab-pr-fa.audio.tidal.com (ttl 30)" When I ping www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com (from anything on our network) I get: C:\Users\N>ping www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com Pinging www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com [34.244.111.131] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 34.244.111.131: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss), However ping www(dot)google(dot)com[/url] is OK: PING www(dot)google(dot)com (216.58.204.132): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 216.58.204.132: icmp_seq=0 ttl=113 time=23.254 ms I guess that the problem is related to connectivity to www(dot)mysqueezebox(dot)com ??? Odd though that Tidal seems to work on a player (somehow?) connected to mysqueezebox.com. I'm starting to wonder if this could be a problem with our internet provider primary / secondary DNS? Any ideas / suggestions how to proceed would be most gratefully accepted!
