Snapclient configuration issue ?

[ceejayemm]

RPi3A, Raudio i2021015 base 64bit

I have configured one of my other RPI's as a Snapserver - no apparent issues here. I then configured this RPi as the Snapclient using the default 800ms latency. When I try to connect to the Snapserver via the Networks submenu icon I get:

I have had to do a web capture from MS Edge as when I try to copy the error text it disappears before I can actually copy it via Ctrl-C. The error (not clear captured in image) is:

Unexpected string in JSON error at position 519

Just see on the Snapserver RPi:

pacman -Q snapcast; systemctl status snapserver

192.168.86.35 is the RPi where the Snapclient error occurs.

@rern
I updated to 2021114 on both the SnapServer RA and SnapClient RA machines and while I no longer get the error reported above I do not get any sound output from the SnapClient machine when using SnapClient. I get the artwork, time etc being displayed on the client Playback screen but no sound output. I can hear sound on the SnapServer machine. Any items in the local Library on the SnapClient machine play normally with sound when SnapClient is exited.

Thanks
