Is anyone else having problems with audio stuttering when two or more piCorePlayers are synchronized? I have six piCorePlayers scattered throughout my house and have them setup to play synchronized. Prior to updating to version 3.00, I had a mix of 2.04 and 2.05 installed, with SqueezeLite 1.8.3. (I don't remember the exact version(s) of SqueezeLite, but I do know that the most recently updated Pi had 1.8.3-???.) Under this configuration, audio played without any stuttering.
After updating to 3.00 (using the updated download) I started experiencing stuttering during audio playback. Looking into the SqueezeLite log file (all=debug), I saw skipped frames entries. If I unsynchronized the player I was listening to, the stuttering went away and the log contained no new skipped frames entries. In an attempt to get back to a working configuration, I first installed 2.06 onto all six RPi's with the same results as above, including the "it works if unsynched". I next installed 2.05 onto all six RPi's. Under this configuration the stuttering was gone and the log file contained no skipped frames entries, except for maybe one at the beginning of playback. I assume this is related to getting the six players initially synchronized. All of the above installations were clean installs. I reformatted each sd card, copied the piCorePlayer image and manually set up the player. I did not update SqueezeLite from the version included in the 2.05 install. FYI, I'm running a mix of RPi V1 Model B and Model B+ devices. On three of the RPi's I have a PiFiDigi+ installed and on the other three I use HDMI out. I hope this helps anyone experiencing the same problem and also helps the developers in locating and squashing a likely bug.
