Files that cannot be played will be skipped. Look in server log for
messages to confirm this.

Syncing players means conversion to lowest common denominator so all
player can play the same audio stream.
If one player can do 96Khz but not WMA and another can play WMA but only
up to 48Khz. Then trying to play a 96Khz WMA stream with these players
synced will result in transcoding to Flac and resampling to 48kHz for
ALL players in sync group. If the LMS cannot resample or transcode -
file will be skipped.

Do your tests with unsynced players , check each player with each
format. You can then identify the problem player/format combos. 
The builds of squeezelite can vary in their capability and squeezelite
can be updated separate to PCP version. Either enable squeezelite
logging to see what is in its build or test unsynced player to confirm
the squeezelite capabilities
