Thanks for your effort so far, bpa! The LMS log is shorter because Radio stopped audio output before - either during the 3rd or 4th track. A few minutes later (cause if it happens, I'm usually in the shower and I feel a real pain when the music stops :() I went to the LMS PC, copied the server

You cut off the LMS log compared to the RAdio log. The Radio log showed request for 8 Audio tracks - last one at 6:36 (with realistic time gaps to imply they have been played) but LMS log you supplied stops at 6:15:00. I'd like to have seen LMS logs up to same time. As the content of slimproto

It has happened again - with LMS 7.9.1. Still don't think it's a WiFi issue. DHCP server is configured to always provide the same pinned ip addresses for the SB devices and LMS server PC (in fact, for all devices that are regularly in the network). And it usually (always?) happens for both

Are you using static IP or have arrange for DHCP to always assigned same IP to Radio If Radio is losing connection and DHCP reassign IP address - you can get problem like this. Any message in log file ? the 10-15 min connction failed will have a reason - just that it may require enabling

I've got two Radios on WiFi that both have occasional connection issues with LMS on a Win10 PC. Don't know when it started, maybe some time after updating LMS to 7.9.0? The symptoms are: - the local music I've selected to play is playing for maybe 10 or 15 mins and then stops - the now playing
