Latency using HQPlayer Embedded (hqplayerd)

[simoncn]

I don't have a Intel machne that is capable of running HQPlayer Embedded, so I am running it on a Raspberry Pi 4. I am using HQPlayer 4.26.2 and mconnect with the gapless protocol enabled. With this setup, there is a long gap between tracks. I have done a network trace which shows this gap is caused by internal delays within HQPlayer while preparing to stream the next track.

It seems HQPlayer works better on an Intel machine than a Raspberry Pi 4 for some reason. As this is now working for you, I don't intend to pursue it any further.
