Hmm, the log show that SC's idea of the players' time epoch is way out compared with that of the server (probably about 23s at the time you took the log snapshot). Every few seconds SC adjust its idea of the players' epochs by 5ms, so it is going to take around 6 hours to get back in sync. Given

What version of SC are you running? Does you server running SC go to sleep and do these sync problems occur after it has woken up? In which case you are probably suffering from 'bug 10634' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10634), which should have been fixed in SC 7.3.2. -- awy ---

Your best bet is probably to wind Synchronization Start Delay up as far as you can bear: maybe 1-2 seconds. As I said, syncing is always a little hit and miss with SB1s because of the older protocol limitations. Trackstat may have been it, although I thought that Erland had updated his plugins no

How about turning off internal Flac decoding for the SB2+ units? Thats likely to be the issue for older hardware, it doesn't support Flac decoding natively. Syncing is supposed to handle this, there are obviously issues with it though. Have a look in Bugzilla (http://bugs.slimdevices.com) to see
