Intermittent rebuffering

Over the past few weeks we have been suffering with the Boom in the kitchen 'pausing' while playing a radio stream, typically Scala or Jazz FM, with the display showing a slowly increasing rebuffering count; when it does this it becomes completely unresponsive. It usually requires me to power down the Boom and wait some time before restarting it; occasionally I have to restart LMS as well to fix it. The curious thing is that I can be listening to the stream at the same time on the Radio in my office with no problems (not synchronised). Suspecting that it might be a networking issue, it's a wired Ethernet connection, I have reset the switch that hosts both the Boom and the LMS, but the problem persists.

Having searched the forum I have this morning enabled 'Info' logging on LMS 'player.source' and 'player.streaming' to try to get to the bottom of the problem. I'm running LMS on PiCorePlayer and have captured a log (attached) with the rebuffering since I restarted pCP a short while ago. I would appreciate any thoughts as to what to do next - we have been running the Boom satisfactorily for many years and with a variety of LMS hosts and this is the first time we've had a serious issue.

Also, I notice in the log that I am now seeing a couple of errors associated with the streaming that I was previously unaware of:

[22-06-29 11:58:44.1076] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::getConvertCommand 2 (490) Error: Didn't find any command matches for type: aac
...
[22-06-29 12:00:54.9559] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::getConvertCommand 2 (490) Error: Didn't find any command matches for type: mp3

Are these causing a problem and, if so, how can I fix them?

Thanks,
Martin
