Thank you for follow-up.
It very well could be related to this, and I did suggest to the developer assigned to my ticket to consider increased file caching, add more CPU to cache population, and play from memory. He doesn't want to do this.
I have zero files locally and zero space for files, so I am not able to test this for you. Also, a shutdown and restart fixes all of these issues, so this does not seem very likely. It was just looping this morning, and a shutdown followed by restart fixed it. Reading through the bug notes posted, I do not have an understanding of the challenges faced here. According to the bug notes, the issue is that the in-memory buffer is not being reloaded with fresh content and playing the same buffer content on repeat. Why not zero the buffer after playback then ? I have a workhorse powerful CPU that supports many threads. Please use it.
