Squeezelite LMS Starts to Play when Airplay is Paused

[Buryme2wice]

I predominately listen to Airplay during the day on my Wiim Amp whilst working with occasional pausing for phone calls.

I use LMS as a back up facility and have this week been listening to a copy of a radio show my friend presents via the MP3 in LMS.

What's become annoying is, if I pause the Airplay feed, LMS immediately starts up so the music doesn't stop.

I can't find an obvious setting in the Wiim Home App top stop this behavior as both sources are WiFi.

I'm wondering if the problem is connected to this:

Squeezelite Thread 'LMS power off behaviour'

Mar 5, 2025

Recently bought an Ultra to use with LMS. It’s mostly working as expected but getting some strange behaviour with powering off.

If I power off the client from the LMS interface, the WiiM stops playing and goes into standby, which seems sensible behaviour to me. But if I power off the WiiM using the red button on the remote it pauses the LMS client but does not turn it off. This has the effect of pausing all other players in the LMS group. It also means that when I start the group playing again on another client it powers the WiiM back on.

Doesn’t seem like intuitive behaviour to me, or...

Which never got an solution.

Can anyone give any guidance or point out something I've missed? Happy to ask Wiim via "feedback" but thought I'd check with the community first?

Just a thought, would it be anything to do with the 'Don't Stop The Music' feature of LMS?

Sounds like a situation where WiiM’s inspection of your device logs after it happens would be the most productive route

For what it's worth, I've had the exact same problem. I don't use airplay, but it's the same thing with Plex or Qobuz.
The only ways I've been able to "fix" that, is to let LMS finish whatever album it was playing, or go into LMS, turn off the offending player and turn it back on again.

Thanks, that "fix" seems to be working for me too.

Next time I forget to "turn it off" I'll send it into Wiim though for a closer inspection.

I experience the same thing when using WiiM presets for online radio stations. As soon as I pause it, LMS starts playing whatever it played last. If I pause again, it all stops.
