I noticed the same problem as of today (14/9). I didn't have the problem the last time I used it - approximately 11/9 or 12/9. I didn't change anything on my PC in that time - but my PC did reboot ( I assumed because of a Windows update). My current setup is: Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9

I have set "Seconds to delay start live stream" to 5 mins. It starts in about 10 seconds - as it does when this value is set to 1 min. I have just tried 5min and 1min and restarted Radio 4 and Radio 5 numerous times. I don't think this value is having any effect. BUT I then set it to "no delay"
