I set up two LMS servers, one on Windows the other on piCorePlayer (RPi), and set a player on each (Radio and piCorePlayer respectively) to play the RP Main flac stream.
Obviously, they weren't synchronised, but they did play the same tracks for a while, until one player (Radio) 'skipped', to a different track to the one which followed on the other player (piCorePlayer): piCorePlayer: "Pretty Bird" (Jenny Lewis) -> "Red Virgin Soil" (Agnes Obel) -> "Burn" (Norah Jones) -> "Sedated" (Choir of Young Believers) Radio: "Pretty Bird" -> "Sedated". So, the Radio skipped two tracks on this occasion. Stopping and restarting the Radio "re-syncs" the player/server to the current track in the stream. While I was writing this, the Radio skipped again, to "Frederick" (Patti Smith), several tracks ahead of the piCorePlayer, this track actually occurring after a Bill message subsequently heard between tracks (i.e. not an interruption) on the the piCorePlayer. During this experiment, there were no Bill interruptions to playing tracks, and RP's own web-player and the piCorePlayer stayed aligned, track-wise. The piCorePlayer setup seems at least a lot less likely to skip, perhaps not skipping at all (though I have yet to prove this to myself); the problem seems to afflict the Windows server.
