I saw the issue with one of my bridges and it's easier to trace the problem. What I saw clearly so far is that the streaming *from* RP site ends up much sooner that expected, the HTTP server closes the connection way before the right amount of data has been received. Tehn, when all data has been consumed, the player issues a regular "underrun" (STMu - which means end of track) and because LMS is not streaming again, it assumes end of track and just request the next track. In the case of RP, this is the next "block". So it seems to be a HTTP/network related-problem, not due to the plugin itself. There is another case where LMS tries to recover the situation and restarts from where the block stopped, but that implies that streaming has not been closed. In that case the player sends a different "underrun" (STMo) which triggers rebuffering and potentially re-opening the connection with the RP server to gather data at some estimated byte offset. I've been seeing that issue a lot this afternoon and I'm using a different player which has a *big* buffers, so I'll investigate the possibility that because a lot of buffering happens at the beginning of the block, then if that player has a large hystersis between high/low watermark it might not require more data in a long while and then the RP server thinks the connection has stalled. I've seen that with other servers and in my plugins, I had to put a mechanism to not require the "next track" too early, but I never saw that within a track LMS 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
