In one-syllable words: we can not fix this.
To repeat what Tim said, this stoppage occurs because the streaming stations in question are using an odd Ogg chaining method to send successive FLAC-encoded tracks along with external track metadata.
Like a number of open-source player projects, moOde depends on the open-source project mpd which in turn depends on another open-source project libflac when the source material is FLAC-encoded. It's in this component that the stoppage occurs.
Surprise, the behavior you describe is experienced in these other open-source players (e.g., Volumio) and has been discussed in their issues log too. It's also been discussed in the libflac project.
I agree with Tim that the best approach is for the stations to stop using this Ogg-chaining method to stream FLAC-encoded tracks with external track metadata. An acceptable though distasteful approach is for the libflac developers to create a work-around. For me, an unacceptable approach is for moOde devs to try to reverse-engineer someone else's code to see how they worked around the issue.
Regards.
