It never got fixed, I wrote back and asked what happened:I've been able to reproduce / confirm the problem that you reported. Thanks for taking the time to help us get to the bottom of this.
Some time later, during the Christmas season 2014, I got an email saying they hadn't heard from me and wanted me to check in. I tried to check in and the ticket was not visible in the system any more -- it looked like the whole ticket system had been rebooted. A week later, an email saying it had been 168 hours and so they were closing the ticket.It was assigned to Ludek, I was able to replicate but after tests my Wi-Fi was the culprit and reason in my case I'll escalate it again and see if new log show something new.
That was a pretty unsatisfying experience.
So now...
MMW build 1754's changelog included this bug: Playback of tracks from Media Servers can fail sometimes -- reported, with no detail, by Ludek, and marked fixed. I was intrigued and installed that build.
Yesterday, I was playing some music and a track ended prematurely. I checked MMW and there was an error box displayed, to the effect of "Can't find network drive." This is new (didn't used to get the error box) but useless (the track still ended prematurely).there is a high probability that this issue is not noticeable normally.
Would it be possible to implement an actual fix to this problem instead of an error box? Like, maybe, some sort of keep-alive activity to the network drive in the background?
