Stream stalling a few seconds into each file

Hi, I have 4 stations on libretime now and installed over the last couple of months (2026)

I am having issues with the system going dark or offline a few seconds after it reads a new mp3 file. In essence on a 4 hour show, it will start then go offline for around 3 minutes then come back to life at the correct point in the file and carry on until the next instance/file change

If it is a playlist with multiple tracks, i get around ten seconds of each song but offline most of the time. Very frustrating!

I have tge systems supplied by a third party who are as stumped as I am so any direction is appreciated
