Thanks. I know a few things already, such as it happens playing sequential tracks on the same album, same sampling rate, same disk, no change in covert art (and art not displayed anyway). If I look at the server processes I see the flac process dying and then restarting at around this time. In the past I tried sending flac instead of pcm and it still happened.
I don't recall ever having had this before I used the revised Kernel. With intermittent faults it's really difficult to know what to try, since just because the problem doesn't show itself doesn't mean it's fixed, and I don't want to start changing kernels unless I have a reproducible problem. When I tried to test it more thoroughly yesterday it wouldn't misbehave at all on the same tracks, so it's clearly waiting for me to drop my guard. I'll have to wait until it plays up again and look at the log (I can't imagine why I didn't do that before - Doh!). LMS 7.8 on VortexBox Midi, FLACs 16 or 24 bit. Touch on Ethernet (in another room), digital out to a Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Old wireless laptop running Linux Mint Debian controls server using Chromium. Squeezelite on Ubuntu & Windows desktops plus the laptop. Meridian Explorer USB DAC to listen directly to Vortexbox & other PCs as required.
