Brief gaps in playback - sandalholme - 20-05-2017 19:37
I have been using MinimServer for a few months quite happily until yesterday. Then and now today I am experiencing brief gaps in playback - maybe up to a second. I have checked 2 of the files, playing back through Quick Time Player with no problem, so it doesn't appear to be corrupt files.
I am running MinimServer on a Macmini running 10.12.4, 2.3GHz i7 with 4GB memory, feeding a Cyrus Lyric via ethernet. The Mac wasn't running anything else, other than background programs and was not connected to the internet. It happened before and after doing a rescan and also before and after closing down and rebooting. It appears to be random and as I write - on a separate Mac - it has been OK for about 30 minutes. I recently upgraded the OS, but the issue didn't appear immediately. (Others, non-MinimServer related did!)
It could just disappear, but I wonder if anyone can shed light on possible causes. (And fixes!)

It could be a network issue or a failing hard drive.

Mnay thanks Simon. Currently running the music directly from the Macmini through external speakers to see if it's the hard drive the music is stored on.
