I am running a MC 26 on a WIN 11 desktop with Id running on a headless Raspberry Pi before the DAC. I also have a MacBook running on an independent audio system. All have libraries built from the same NAS. The desktop is WiFi, but the Pi and MacBook are ethernet.
Sometimes I use JRemote to connect to each of the servers rather than the WIN or MAC directly. Sometimes I will access the PI library from the desktop and play that way. Sometimes, I'll use the WIN installation and play "there."
While finicky over the years, it's mostly been functional. Lately however, things have gotten VERY slow on all three machines and regardless of DLNA. Right clicks take forever to appear. Next song load takes minutes. Lots of drop outs on the MAC (though I did improve this by lengthening the buffer). In addition, some songs simply won't load (Problem with the audio file location error). If I wait a minute, I can select it again, and sometimes it will play.
If it were just one machine, or set up, I would just reinstall MC. As it seems to be affecting everything in a similar manner, I wonder if there's something about MC 26? The network is stable for other users (TVs, Desktops, phones, etc). I can upgrade to MC 32, but if there's a direct fix for what I'm seeing, it will save me some trouble and dollars.
As always, Thanks in advance.
