This could be caused by a random network error or a typo in the URL in the .m3u radio playlist. Is the error repeatable?

No, unfortunately. It only occurred once. Now, all I get is a stalled player and no MinimServer error message.

I am not having any problem with this. Are you sure that WAV transcoding was disabled for the stream when you tried this? As well as removing flac:wav24 from stream.options, you need to refresh the container for the .m3u playlist in the control point. Altnernatively, you can do a MinimServer restart after changing the stream.options value.

Now that the transcoding problem is fixed for AAC and MP3, I shall re-check carefully, using a separate instance of MinimServer with transcoding disabled, and report back.

Thank you again for all your help on this.
