Music hangs mid track then resumes

I’ve had my system set up for a few months now. I have the main Max2Play squeezebox / squeezeplug in the kitchen which is also our main player.

I’ve had no problems with this ever since I installed it until tonight.

Now, for some reason the music stops mid track, waits for a random number of seconds and then resumes playing.

I’m controlling the server using Squeezer on my Android phone which doesn’t show any problems but does show the music stopping.

I can see nothing in /var/log/messages to show any Linux errors and I can see nothing in /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server/log to point to any problems there.

Can anyone suggest what I need to look at next to try to fix the problem?

Hi Gary,

thank you for your inquiry.

Please try to reboot your Pi first. If the problems still persists then I would recommend you to check the following:

1. Navigate to Settings / Reboot
2. Scroll down to „DEBUG Info:“
3. Is the filesystem (nearly) full (>80% space in use)?
4. Is the average CPU Load below 1.00?

Hi Roman,

Rebooting the Pi was my first step. In fact I did it a couple of times between tweaking settings. All to no avail.

I did eventually resolve the problem last night. I use a number of TPLink Ethernet-over-Power plugs to get network around the house. One of these had hung. Once I unplugged and reconnected that, everything started working again.

Although I was using thr player on the same Pi as the server, it is synchronized to other players and I think that must have been the issue.

Thanks anyway.

Gary
