Hi,
Before I tell my story, I may possibly be asking too much of an older pi zero, but as I had spares I wanted to try it.
Over the weekend I placed a fresh image/install on a Pi Zero. I'm looking at the web interface on an ipad mini and/or an iphone 6s. Also on chrome on a macbook.
I have 18,000 wav files which are on a Synology Diskstation NAS and connect over ethernet but have also tried wifi. I am outputting via USB to a preamp/dac.
I've created some m3u playlists with a handful of tracks in the usual place as I fully expect the full library display to be slow.
Firstly, choosing an internet station is fine, playback responds quickly, the playback window updates promptly reporting time and station and behaviour looks absolutely fine.
However, even just selecting one audio track from my library for playback I find the playback display does not update. It shows no info about the track, no countdown, no data at all. Randomly sometimes something will appear in the playback window. If it does, it'll be massively delayed, maybe the info from two or three songs ago and a countdown that doesn't match current playback.
All commands from the web interface to the player work promptly and in good time, the tracks all play quickly, it's just the reporting back of track data to the web interface that seems to be affected. And only when playing songs for some reason, as I mentioned the radio side of things is fine.
Any advice gratefully received.
Simon
