I've done some > further testing using both LMS 7.9.2 running on the Synology NAS (as detailed in my post above) and with my other server, LMS 7.9.1, running under Debian Stretch on a Dell laptop - details as follows:
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1522157629 @ Fri Mar 30 12:25:29 CEST 2018 Hostname: inspiron1720 Operating system: Debian - EN - utf8 Platform Architecture: x86_64-linux Perl Version: 5.24.1 - x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1) It turns out that the issue is unrelated to the system that LMS is running on. It has to do with Spotty: when playing a Spotify stream synced between my SB2s and iPeng, I cannot 'jump to next track' I get a message 'waiting for sync' on the SB screen, and the stream only starts playing again if I stop and restart iPeng on my iPad. This happens with LMS running on the Debian laptop and the Synology NAS. (Spotty is v2.8.3 on both systems.) But when I play a stream from my local music library on either system, again with the SB2s and iPeng (iPad) synced, I can 'jump to next track' without difficulty, and the stream keeps playing. So the issue is specific to Spotty. Is there some problem between iPeng and Spotty? (Or should I ask Michael if something has change in Spotty / the Spotify API?) Any suggestions about how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!
