I have the same trouble, all my FLAC files are skipped after a random time .
I was running 4.06, and upgrade to 4.07 when I was the changelog and read this topics. I hope I could 4.07 could solve this issue but now way

For me, it is just impossible to use MM as I can't listen a file up to the end

FLAC are stored on a Synology NAS and accessed as DNLA server. It seems I don't have the issue when I access the same FLAC files via a network drive, but in that case I can't get the DNLA features (sorted by artist, genre, album ....)

So the problem is that MediaMonkey as DLNA client fails to play the files? In that case the problem may lie with the DLNA server. However feel free to capture the failure to play in a debug log (step 4b) and send it to support: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69

yes since I first posted I had no seek from the network drive. So it is really when accessed via DNLA.

The DNLA works properly (Synology DSM 4.0). I have no problem when I access the same files in DNLA via my Cambridge Audio NP30, or Bubble UpnP on Tablet or via other software

I think it is really an issue with the MM client / DNLA / FLAC

I will follow your procedure for capture

thanks

I just wanted to bump this thread, I am experiencing what I believe to be the same issue.
Clicking on a Flac file in the library allows the track to play for about 8-12 seconds and then MM skips to the next track on the list. Irritating!
1. The issue seems intermittent and does not affect all Flac format files, it is affecting about 1000 files out of my 3000 song Flac library (a rough guess).
2. I had no issues with playback of any of these same Flac files on previous versions of Media Monkey. (I recently reinstalled MM 4.0.7.1511) ( I had some flac on a local HDD and some on the NAS server)
3. Another coinciding issue is that I cannot jump forward in the timeline for these troubled flac files. (Song length data is also now missing on many tracks until played).
4. Are there any improvements for native MM support of Flac files, is there a update coming out shortly? Is there an improved output/input driver I need to install?
5. My Flac files are on a DNS 323 Dlink Media Server NAS 1 TB HDD.
