Odd problem with an album

[Martin H]

Simon, not sure if you can help me or not here.

I have an album lent to me by a friend to try. A Love supreme by John Coltrane 24 96kHz. I seem to be able to play it straight from the file on my windows 10 PC using the default player without any issue but when I stream it from minimserver (Melco or QNAP) it starts each track nicely but after 12 secs or so it stops.

I thought perhaps that maybe the file was faulty and I just attempted to reconvert it to the same FLAC file using DB Poweramp (as an aside I got this error while trying - FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEARCH_FOR_FRAME_SYNC) as I know that has often been the advice if perhaps there are format errors in the file.

I just wondered if this gave you a clue as to why it's not working and if it's fixable. Just a bit confused as to why it appears to work properly on the PC (I have double checked this) and this is why I thought I would approach you. There doesn't appear to be anything in the minimserver log.

Any pointers/ideas?

Regards, Martin
