Again, thanks for the info & suggestions

No, as I have no need to play the music to my phone or other controllers (in fact the same music is on the phone as well, but I've almost never wanted to do this).
So, I'm trying that right now. Tracks 1 & 2 have just jumped to the end, and now track 3 is stuck at the start. Manually jumped to 4- it glitched and has now started 5, and now again to 6.

No. All the music files are all mp3 (Vbr) files, and the Sonos was always played them without issue, even with the old Sonos library system.

Depends what you mean. I use a single Sonos 'target', that has been configured to be the lead of a group of Sonos units. It has been the only way I have found to play a Sonos group. If I make the renderer one of the others in an existing group, I get no playback. That has been true since I tried using the Minim/Bubble combo.

Do you mean have I put BubbleUPnP Server on the NAS ? No, I have Bubble uPnP on several Android units (Nexus v2 tablets and Samsung phones)

That is exactly what I thought should be so. And it seemed to have been until recently.

Code:

curl "http://192.168.*.*:9790/minimserver/*/flac/Adele/2011*20-*2021/01.01.flac" -o "01.01.flac"

It reports, for current track -
Album The Murder Wall
Artist Kaprekar's Constant
Duration 6:15
Stream#1 MP3,128 kbps,stereo,44100 Hz, with a longish URL that I can see no way of copying to put into the code string.

Does the MP3,128 kbps,stereo,44100 Hz, indicate it IS being re-coded ?
