(sorry for the long post) >From what I can recall, this started about a year ago. I have been using 7.9 since shortly after it was released. I can't remember whether it also occurred under 7.8 at the time but I don't think so. Since some changes are made in the 7.7,7.8 versions and then merged into 7.9 I can't say where it started or whether it is now limited to 7.9.
However, lightning888 said in an earlier post that this occurred with an SB3. For me, it is a transporter. So it may be an ipv3 issue (is that what the original architecture is called?). I never see it when I listen through my computer using squeezelite. Here is what I usually see (I freely admit this scenario may be just a coincidence). Would others who have seen the problem please confirm if they also see this behaviour. This happens with any FLAC file. I don't play much mp3 so I can't be absolutely sure but I don't think it is file or tag related. While playing, the screen flashes "cannot find server ... " and then immediately switches back to the song title. This can happen repeatedly and often. The issue where LMS loses track of which song it is on occurs when the "cannot find server" flashes near the end of a song, presumably when LMS is preparing for the next song. The next song will come on but LMS on the device and on the webpage (as well as tablet apps) all show the previous song. As I said, the "cannot find server" always flashes for only an instant like it loses sight of the server for just a moment. The time in between each "cannot find server" can be many minutes or just seconds but each time it only lasts a fraction of a second until the song title flashes back. I have never said anything about this because I was, and remain, too happy with 7.9 to let this little blip concern me. And I know that this message will lead many (as it did myself) to suspect it is just a network/router problem. My LMS computer and my transporter are both wired. I assign both their IP addresses on the router using IP reservation by mac id. The computer and transporter are both using DHCP. I used to use assigned IP addresses on both devices (not DHCP) but changed that awhile ago to try to track this down to no avail. The way I get out of this problem is to select play on a specific song (next/prev song won't do it -- it remains off by one song) and LMS gets itself and the player back in sync with the file actually playing. Only rarely will music stop at the end of a song at which point I have to explicitely play the next song. I forget if pressing next works. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem manually. I just have to wait for it to happen. If someone can tell me what log settings to use to capture "cannot find server" messages on the devices, I can turn that on and wait for it to happen. I always suspected that if the message is generated on the device by the firmware then we won't see it in the LMS log. But, on the other hand, LMS web UI and tablet apps also get out of sync so there must be something happening on the LMS side. I can't say which side started it. Also, no crossfade, no volume control (fixed at 100%), no replay gain.
