Playlists Stop After A Few Songs

[fader_rider]

Problem Description: Updated to latest version and migrated the service to a new machine. Copied Subsonic folder contents into installation directory (the default one). Everything comes up on other machines and mobile devices. However today at work, through Chrome, custom playlists will only playback 5 or so songs if I shuffle the play list. If I let it play straight through, the most songs I have been able to play back are 16.

Troubleshooting Steps: Reloading screen, loading a different playlist, coming back to 'broken' one..all customs seem to present this behavior. I am trying a regular album playlist as I write this.

Playback Application and version: I am accessing my server through Chrome. SS version is 5.2.1 build 4428
Subsonic Version: 5.2.1 (build 4428) – March 4, 2015
Server Version: jetty-6.1.x, java 1.8.0_31, Windows 7 (74.9 MB / 145.0 MB)
Hardware Platform: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, up to date in terms of win update.
Java Memory Limit: I am assuming this is the Memory limit (MB) value in the SS control panel: 150 mb
Problem Filename: N/A. This appears to be specific to playlists.
Output from ffmpeg -i: N/A, issue does not appear to be file specific. Also, these playlists had all played successfully prior to the move/upgrade

Questions if you feel they are relevant:

1. Is my last backup of the subsonic folder compatible with the new version? I think i was just on the last major release
2. I am a subscriber. Did that perhaps expire? thought it was a one time thing but perhaps it isn't
3. Is there a setting somewhere specific to the new distribution that limits playback? I have missed settings before and would hate to waste anyone's time with all the above if it is just my own lack of knowledge

Love Subsonic, have for years. thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Glad to re-up if that's what it takes.

First, check your license 'About' should show 'Subsonic Premium', which can be clicked to show license status.

Try removing the transcoding from playback in Settings-Player on the specific Chrome player being used.

Thank you Alpha. I reinstalled 4.9 and everything seems to be in working order again. When i get some time I will reinstall to the current version and if it doesn't work again I'll try this.
