Do you have PlayHLS plugin installed?

Beta 0.0.33c - 2023/01/30

- Add WOMR/WFMR Cape Cod (US) - artist, title, album, label and CoverSearch plus programme title and subtitle

This is doing some matching on HTML content - so prone to breakage.
They sometimes forget to update the song details.

Here is the thread about it

From the pCP LMS page you can access the LMS logs ... there might be a clue in there.
Does that page say that LMS is running?
LMS is running though ... otherwise the mobile phone apps would not be able to see the library (unless they cache it - I don't know if they do).

My browser put up a warning - station is from Russia.

Early step would be to confirm that the neighbour's WiFi is causing an issue.
if they are cooperating then maybe ask them to turn off their WiFi when they have no-one home for a few hours ... and let you know ... then you can check wlanpoke logs for that period and compare it with when their WiFi...

[Paul Webster]

You can increase the logging level within the plugin to see if there are any more clues.
Also you could switch off (remove power) all of the Chromecast devices and bring them back slowly, one at a time, to determine which one is doing something that results in the restart.

LMS is running as a service on Windows - and Windows services do not have access to mapped drive names.
So you need to give LMS the full path name with server name in style \\server\share\music
Next problem is that you will probably need to tell LMS to run under a particular account so that...

[Paul Webster]

Looks like the remote service does not like the "&" ... and I did correctly encode it.
If I leave it out

%26

but leave in the commas

%2C

then it works.
So ... I'll probably make a small change to remove the & when doing the remote lookup to them ...

Edited...

[Paul Webster]

Interesting ... the lookup decided it matched the BNL track called "Deck the Stills"
Not even close - even if "Stills" is in both.
I'll take a look to see if I can tweak things.

[Paul Webster]

If the issue is WiFi6 related then it does not have to be a strong signal by the time it reaches the SB Radio.
It seems that something in the 2.4GHz signal that some WiFi6 routers send out triggers an issue with the firmware in the SB Radio WiFi hardware.
It is probably not handling something...

[Paul Webster]

Maybe run a full clear and via LMS Settings page.

Unfortunately the architecture of the plugin makes this hard to do.
It collects song or programme information based on LMS calling it because a stream URL that the plugin is looking for is playing (or possibly has been added to the playlist ... which I think can happen can causes me problems)....

[Paul Webster]

Beta 0.0.33a - 2023/01/25

- Modify Radio X (CH) - artist, title, duration and CoverSearch (includes flac) - their API has been fixed so now using which means you get duration
- Add RNE (ES) - programme title, subtitle, description, duration and icon...

[Paul Webster]

Try putting it inside (code)(/code) - replace those round brackets with square ones

[Paul Webster]

I was thinking the other way around ... that the .local name disappears.
However, if you are using the numeric IP address then that is not the problem....

[Paul Webster]

When you lose access is it lost both for hostname.local AND by numeric IP address?
