ROON + Hqplayer cannot play after paused for a few hours

Audio Gear Talk HQ Player
1

Every time I pause the music for a few hours and try to replay the music, HQplayer cannot start.
I mean the ROON can still connect to HQPlayer and the HQPlayer stream is correctly shown in roon interface, but just cannot start playing. It looks like the stream of previously paused music is not cleared and causes the streaming obstruction.

Every time this happens, I have to restart HQplayer which can fix the issue (sometimes I also need to remove HQPlayer in roon and re-add it), but this is certainly tiresome. I wonder if this is a known bug or is there any fix for it.

I am using Antipodes EX as roon server and Mac studio as HQplayer host.

How is your DAC connected?

Is the Mac set to not go to sleep? If it goes to sleep, the network connections are gone, etc.

DAC is connected via Ravenna protocol.
Yes, Mac is set to never sleep.

Please enable HQPlayer log file from settings and restart HQPlayer. Then after reproducing the problem, please check end of the log file for any error messages why it fails to start playback.

I also recommend to check that Ravenna is not default audio output device for macOS. This should prevent other applications from messing with the device.
