Squeezeplay skipping to next track randomly

[itm]

When I'm playing random song mixes on Squeezeplay 7.8.0 (on Windows 10) I frequently get songs skipping to the next track before completion. I'm running LMS 7.9.1 on Linux.
When I tried to download logs to investigate (from the LMS web GUI) I got an empty server log.
My logging settings on the LMS web interface are set to "Error" for all log types (which presumably tells me that the skipping is not caused by errors, as the server log was empty?). Which log setting(s) do I need to change to get more info on what's causing the random skipping?

EDIT: I should add that there is no wireless in the equation - both the LMS server and the Windows 10 renderer machine are connected to the same switch via Ethernet

OK I managed to get some logging info....the skip occurred at about 16:17 today (4/2/19). It was playing Tom Waits "Mr Siegal" (on player 0a:00:27:00:00:02), then skipped before the end and started playing the Stereophonics "Don't Let Me Down". I don't see anything obvious in here. Can anyone else spot anything?

Is your PC wired or wireless ? Network interruption can cause skipping

The PC renderer and LMS Server are both wired into the same switch

Your log shows PAUSE a couple of times at 16:17.

That's not something that I initiated - I left it playing when I downloaded the logs

I noticed the same behaviour. A large portion of my collection is encoded as Variable Bit Rate MP3. Nothing visible in the logs.. Albums play fine on Touch and Radios's but SqueezePlay skips randomly, usually near the end of a track.

I can't tell for sure if this is related, but I did troubleshoot a similar problem which occurred while streaming Spotify. If you are comfortable with compiling a C program using visual studio, you could try my fix:

Otherwise, I could make my compiled binary available for you to test.

The OP log shows direct MP3 streaming - so I don't think socketwrapper is the issue.

That said OP should post player.source INFO logging to confirm no trasncoding is taking place - never sure of Squeezeplay capabiltiies as it depends on the build.

Are you sure transcoding could create issues like this?
