      @rlkeeney Any clues in the system log? Maybe leave 'journalctl -f' running in a terminal, and Alt-Tab to it, when the next lock occurs.

        @jonhd I just started 'journalctl -f', hopefully this will catch something.

          @jonhd Nothing in the logs. It ran 49 minutes, then went into continuous buffering.

            I configured the Strawberry buffering to "0ms," which seems like it would turn buffering off.

              Is it local files or streams? If local files, do you play them from the local HD, or remotely? And what audio format is it?

                It is local files. I never stream.

                They are played from an internal SATA hard drive.

                The audio format is MP3.

                I play MP3s using smart playlists 99% of the time. The only time I don't use a playlist is when I am playing something new and unrated.

                I have all three scrobblers enabled, along with the cover search, although I really don't need this, as I rarely look at a cover.

                Pretty much everything else is disabled, including the analyzer and mood bar, which I see as useless.

                  @jonas Strawberry stopped playing again with the buffering set to 0ms.

                    Try setting low watermark to 0.10 and buffer duration to 8000

                      @jonas Done.

                      I have it looping on a long play and running 24/7.

                        This did not work. It stopped twice in the last 24 hours.

                          I just upgraded to Version 1.2.12. I'm waiting to see what happens now.

                            Strawberry stopped two times today, about 15 minutes apart.
