It takes some seconds – up to 8-ish – between tracks. And the clock often stops one second short of full time.
Yes it is FLAC over a slow network, but it wasn't like this a week ago; in the meantime I have installed the 1.2 beta, and ... played with settings. So what have I likely touched?
Sounds like you have enabled Full file buffering under Advanced -> Playback. It should pretty much never be used.
Hm. Yes you are right ... and I have always used that I think. Don't know why it has suddenly become an issue. Anyway, thank you very much,
