The /volume1/music part is possibly where the problem is. Do you have any other NFS clients that you can test with? eg a MAC Or try CIFS / SMB from a Windows system. Then you can see what they view. Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com author of \"now playing\" plugins covering radio

I have noticed this happening sometimes as well but never figured out why or when. In my case it seems to be the volume of a player that is a member of a group player gets set to zero but only when not in the group. I'll try to pay more attention if it happens again. Sent from my Pixel 3a using
