Encoder problem

Hi,

All of the sudden more than half of my library is not playing - the message is “the song is not encoded correctly” - the same files were playing just fine 2 days ago.

I am using the same youtube music as from the first days of my Sonos.

Does anybody experienced the same issue?

This specific error message is misleading: it has nothing to do with encoding, it means the streaming isn’t keeping up due to network troubles.
