Basically playing live stream on DASH,.

Live DASH is a format which is a playlist of 6 sec file each with a
timestamp.

DASH stream can be paused and they can stay paused of up to 3 hours. So
if you have a "pause" setting and then resume - the stream will try to
continue when it left off (i.e. pause for 2 hours and it will play the
stream as it was 2 hours ago)  - is that your intent ?  The DASH has
been written so that if stream are paused for more than 3 hours - they
will start again from "live" as if no pause.

I think this may be the problem - after pausing and then waking up,  the
stream is trying to continue playing the stream at the time of the
pause.  I have tested long pauses (> 3 hrs) on a Linux system and it
worked OK.  However on your system it may be trying to play DASH chunk
with a very old timestamp and so no longer exist.  However the fact the
pause fails for sleeps of less than 3 hours make this unlikely.

A couple of workaround in the interim:
1. Change the Player/Audio setting to "Stop on Power off / "Restart
Playlist at power up" or  "Stop on Power off / "Reset Playlist at power
up"  - however these settings may not be acceptable to you for other
stations etc.
2. Try HLS  or MP3 streams. Both now have same metadata,  HLS has same
audio quality as DASH.  HLS does not have the 3hr facility but I have
never tested long pauses with HLS.  "Live Stream preference" set to "HLS
> DASH > MP3 > FlashAAC" (dashflac is gone) - if you make use of
pauses/skip back/forward then HLS or MP3 may not be acceptable.

I don't use Windows as a main system so over next few days I'll try to
boot up a Windows system and test long pauses.  I cannot replicate the
"wakeup " over LAN.

What is the Windows 10 setting that you use to put your system to sleep
?
