Problem to play album without pauses

[AlexDN86]

I have Cambridge audio CXNv2 player and using Plex. I want to go from Plex to MinimServer, but have a problem.
If I listen album with tracks without pauses (PINK FLOYD – The Dark Side Of The Moon for example) I hear some pause between tracks. Play ower Plex without pauses.
What can I do to correct this problem?
Thanks for answers

This is likely down to the control point you're using (the mobile app you're browsing MinimServer with). You'll need to tell it that the CXNv2 supports gapless playback.

What control point are you using?

I control my CXN by official Cambridge audio StreemMagic mobile app.
I dont believe for this, but when I play using device remote, it works well.
How can I tell it that the CXNv2 supports gapless playback?
I testet plex, asset and both of them hasn't those problem (has many others). I want to by this server, but need to resolve this problem...
help please

That is strange. I assumed you'd be using one of the generic UPnP controllers e.g. BubbleUPnP.

I'm sure someone with experience of the CXNv2 and StreamMagic app will be able to help out shortly.

Cambridge Connect not support CXNv2 officialy. I install them and this app first time it find CXN long time. After few minutes lost connect.
Cambridge Audio say it no longer support and take update.
If resolve problem with StreemMagic mobile app ti will be perfect

Please produce a debug log by following the steps below exactly as shown. If you are running MinimServer on a NAS, you will need to have MinimWatch installed and running.

1) In the StreamMagic app, browse to an album that should be played gapless
2) From the minim icon, select 'Show log'
3) In the log window, change the logging level to Debug
4) In the log window, click the Clear button
5) Leave the log window open
6) Start playing the album and continue until the first point where the track change should be gapless. If the gapless track change is a long way through the album, start playing at the track before the gapless track change.
7) After the problem has occurred (a gap where there should not be a gap), click 'Save as' in the log window and save the log file
8) In the log window, change the logging level back to Info
9) Zip the log file (this step is important) and attach the zipped file to a post here

I will look at the log file and let you know what I find.

I repeat problem when play from 02 - Ecstasy.m4a to 03 - Autumn Leaves.m4a Sound stop was around half of second. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the very good application.

Thanks for this. The log shows the renderer reading the first two tracks in two chunks, first the complete file and second the end portion only. When the renderer reads the third track (Autumn Leaves), it reads the complete file twice, first at 21:25:19.499 and again at 21:25:28.836. In all cases, MinimServer is responding correctly and very promptly and is returning the correct portion of the file.

This difference in how the third file is being read by the renderer might explain the gap before the third track. I don't know why this doesn't happen with other servers.
