Would appreciate some assistance :-)
I am experiencing problems with running squeezeplay_7.8.0~984_amd64.deb on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya.
LMS (7.9.0-164) is hosted on a Synology NAS (DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1) on the local network
When it works, squeezeplay is excellent, but unfortunately when streaming from various sources the stream frequently drops. There is no obvious pattern. The program GUI can load normally and play fine (even hours) and other times the GUI manipulated streams will fail to start. This occurs irrespective of whether the sound source is local to the NAS eg ripped CD or say a BBC radio stream using BBC iPlayer plugin (1.5.4.4) with stream preferences set to DASH->HLS->MP3->FlashAAC.
Normally once the stream has ceased or fails to start any attempt to manipulate squeezeplay via its GUI results in the GUI disappearing (I assume this means the program has itself crashed). If the GUI is launched via a console session this is repeated (the console window also disappears)
I have poked around in the Syslog file and a couple of specimen entries at the time of crashes which might be relevant are shown below (see "portion of SysLog file" below. I can make my full SysLog file available on request.
I appreciate that is this is all very general and as I am very new to Linux, I wonder if anyone might give me some general guidance of how best to adopt a more structured approach to try and narrow down what might be causing the problem. For example are there any log files I can enable or other areas that I should be looking ?
Cheers
