Hello @connor !
In order to help your review with the logs, I took the sunday to test the system in different ways.
-
Enabled System Output on my Mac Mini through the headphone out and played music for some hours. No problems
-
Started playing on each different zone I have here (including System Output), with all DSP for each enabled (or almost all), without grouping and from different sources for each zone (Qobuz, Tidal and local files) - no problems.
-
Started pairing zones, only two at a time, some ethernet only, some wifi only, some mixed, one group playing tidal, other group qobuz, and the other two local files. Played for more than 6 hours straight without any problem with all DSP enabled.
-
Merged each pair of groups, leaving me with two groups with all DSP enabled, one playing tidal and the other playing Qobuz. That’s when it stopped playing, first on the Tidal zone after roughly one our (last song played named “Aejlies (sanctus)”, seems to have skipped “Thought I Was a Spaceman” and hanged on “The Heinrich Maneuver”), and around three hours later the Qobuz zone stopped (last song played “Janie’s Got a Gun”, but there was no skipping to the next song like the Tidal zone apparently. It simply stopped playing mid-song on the track “Mordin” after one minute).
What I gather from this is that my network and server cope very well with simultaneous streaming to multiple endpoints at all times. The problem starts only when I group them and Tidal is worse for some reason.
Hope this helps us find a way to fix it.
Thank you for the help and attention to my case!
