Issue: I am playing music from Plex via the Sonos app (using both Android and Windows). During the daytime, this works fine most of the time with no issue whatsoever. However, pausing the queue at night and then resuming the queue in the morning causes the following problems.

When music is resumed in the morning, it plays just two songs (three if they are short tracks), and then stops playback mid queue. Restarting the queue works, but it again only plays two songs before stopping. If the queue is deleted and new music selected, the new queue is affected by the same issue. Only after unplugging every speaker and restarting the system does the issue resolve.

This does not (normally) happen when pausing the queue and resuming during the daytime, even if many hours have passed.

Can anyone help me identify what might be a cause of this issue?

I have 2 Play 5s as a stereo pair, 2 Play 1s as a stereo pair and a single Play 1. Desktop app is running on Windows 10 and various Android devices with the Sonos app. If anyone needs any further help that might help me get to the bottom of this, please let me know.

Restarting the speakers every morning has become very tedious, especially as some are not easy to power down in their current locations.

I have considered just doing line-in from a separate streamer to resolve the issue, but I would rather see if I can resolve rather than throw money at an issue which cannot be happening for most people. I have read every piece of information that I can to try to establish what might be happening but I am at a loss with this one.

Many thanks in advance.
