One thing is buffering due to a slow connection, about that I have nothing to say: the reason why it happens is obvious (for example, it often happens to me in the car when I drive through areas with poor data signal).
What I’m referring to is another type of problem: it seems like sometimes the “play here” gets lost.
I’ll give you an example: earlier I was listening to a Hi-Res FLAC (24/96) album with play.volumio on my work PC. For over 20 minutes I didn’t have a single second of buffering, the connection was very smooth. At some point, however, the audio stopped, I couldn’t hear anything.
On the interface I could see that the track was still going. I disabled “play here” and re-enabled it, and then I could hear it again but the song was ahead of the point where it had stopped, as if the playback had continued on the local network but hadn’t been streamed to the work PC.
This is the thing that happens to me too often… and it’s quite annoying
