Sinology reconnect

<tl;dr --- my up-to-date moOde player and my virtual Synology NAS work fine together>
 
So I spun up my virtual Synology DS3615xs NAS this evening. It's Synology's DiskStation Manager software version DSM 6.1-15047 running in Oracle VirtualBox on a Linux host.

I created a shared folder named "Music" and copied several albums into it. I enabled SMB service and gave read-only access privilege to user "guest". On my RPi4 running moOde 6.3.0 (hostname: moOdeLR) we get this result:

Here you see various shares published by my Linux Mint laptop (T520), my Open Media vault NAS running on an Odroid HC1 (OMV-HC1), a number of moOde music players, my big-iron Linux server in the basement (KRYPTON), and finally my virtual Synology NAS (DS3615XS).

My moOde players have no difficulty discovering DS3615XS in a Samba scan, connecting to its Music share as user "guest", building their MPD databases, and playing selected tracks.

Since you mentioned UPnP, I also downloaded and installed the Synology Media Server package. DS3615xs then appeared among the UPnP services detected on my LAN using various diagnostic tools (such as gssdp-discover in Linux or the UPnP Tool app on my Android phone). 

Using the BubbleUPnP app on my Android phone as my UPnP control point, I selected DS3615xs as the media server (aka library) and my moOde player as the renderer (with the UPnP Renderer enabled in the player of course). I have no difficulty selecting and playing tracks from the Synology Media Server.

According to the DSM control panel, this virtual NAS has been up for 4+ hours now and I've experienced no glitches or disconnects.

Tim's already covered some basic diagnostics. I haven't been able to glean enough clues yet from your reports to be able to suggest more focused ones other than what I suggested in my previous post regarding problem directories/tracks. If indeed this is the root cause, it has to be fixed on the server end.
