Media Center working fine on Raspi 5 with Bookworm

I've been fiddling with Microsoft remote desktop and Tiger VNC as well as Real VNC as a viewer. I think I have the NAS mounting correct, but something is hanging....

You can also use my docker container if you want: https://gitlab.com/shiomax/jrivermc-docker
Has tigervnc setup, you can pass threw the alsa device for playback. Works quite well for that usecase.
TigerVNC is best if you want a virtual desktop. Though, if you want to access your already existing desktop then something like x11vnc will probably work better.

I've found that to be the case with TigerVNC as well.

I initially used Tiger but it wouldn't allow shutdowns and reboots. Had to do a "SUDO REBOOT" and there were some other anomalies. Then I tried Microsoft desktop (XRDP) and finally RealVNC (doesn't run on Raspi 5) and it seems the best. I cycled through all of them thinking it was VNC causing the hangs....but they all did it.
I'm thinking there's some handshake problem with the NAS server but every time I use the Bookworm file utility, I can easily and rapidly access the NAS music files.
But it may also have something to do with the origin of the libraries. I saved my Mac's library and restored on the RP4 (and later the RP5) --- and then globally changed all the Mac NAS file "VOLUMES" references to "/media/NAS/" and it seems to work but maybe I missed something?
Both the RP4 and RP5 have the same library.

The Mac and linux libraries are nearly identical after the Precomposed UTF-8 change (in MC30 IIRC) on the Mac so I don't think that's your issue.
It sounds like the network connectivity might be flaky, SMB really shows issues in that case. NFS is somewhat more forgiving.
The file browser utility doesn't mount the SMB paths so it's really more like a web browser than a persistent file mount.
Dennis in FL:
I'm using NFS.
I just tried again. It plays fine for a couple of minutes and then the sound stops but the progress bar and time is still moving. But after I click on something like STOP it hangs (only MC hangs - I can still access Bookworm and reboot).
