Song skipping when casting Plex to Moode OS

Issue description:

Hello!

I couldn’t find any open topic or solved one concerning my issue.

I have playback issues (song skipping from time to time) when casting from Symfonium to MPD on MoodeOS as a UPnP client(?).

Honestly I don’t know if the issue comes from PlexMediaServer, Moode OS or Symfonium app.

When looking at Plex media server console (installed on a different Raspberry Pi that the one using Moode OS), it seems pretty busy and returs a lot of errors.

Still, I have no issue when streaming only on the Symfonium app solely.

Thank you for your help!

I need Symfonium logs How to gather logs and open an issue

But if skipping occurs in the middle of the tracks then it’s not Symfonium but something between moode and Plex.

I apologize for not sending the Symfonium app logs.

You are right, song skipping only occurs while music is being played so I blame Plex media server or Moode OS to be responsible of this issue.

I will investigate the issue by switching to Emby and then Airsonic as a media source, then I will give you an update about my findings.

Thank you for your help, you have made a great app that is so useful!

Don’t use Airsonic, use LMS (GitHub - epoupon/lms: Lightweight Music Server. Access your self-hosted music using a web interface.) or Navidrome (GitHub - navidrome/navidrome: 🎧☁️ Your Personal Streaming Service) or another OpenSubsonic server.

But yes recently many people have issues with UPnP and Plex servers, maybe they changed some timeouts or something. Maybe moode support with logs could tell exactly what happens.

Thank you so much for your help.

Before I could have read your reply, I moved to an Emby install and it happened that there is no song skipping anymore when casting.

I can confirm they were (so many) timeouts issues when casting music provided by a Plex media server to MPD to Moode.

I guess that users have to pay the lifetime subscription to Plex service in order to cast music properly to Moode (on a Raspberry Pi).
