1 year ago I can't remember if this has ever happened to me...
Can you share more information about your system? What platform/OS you're running it on? What players are you using? Where would you even see "nil"? It's nothing Perl produces - it would probably be the frontend you're using failing on some response?

[23-02-24 06:30:50.1107] Slim::Player::Song::open (499) Warning: stream failed to open [sounds://_LIVE_bbc_radio_fourfm].I'm using MariaDB on another host for the database:
dbsource: dbi:mysql:some.other.host;port=3306;database=lmsI don't use the interface much, usually only to update the presets/alarms, most interaction is with the radios directly. The most recent change I remember making via :9000 was on 7 Feb (according to file times) to install the BBC Sounds plugin.
I've had a search in the source and these seem to be possible sources of the 'nil' value:
CPAN/HTML/TreeBuilder.pm: " (Moving on up to ", $p ? $p->{'_tag'} : 'nil', ")\n"
CPAN/SOAP/Constants.pm:$NS_XSI_NILS = join join('|', map { my $class = $XML_SCHEMAS{$_} . '::Serializer'; "\{($_)-instance\}" . $class->nilValue
CPAN/SOAP/Lite.pm:sub nilValue { 'null' }
CPAN/SOAP/Lite.pm:sub nilValue { 'nil' }
CPAN/SOAP/Lite.pm: # store null/nil attribute if value is undef
CPAN/SOAP/Lite.pm: local $attr->{SOAP::Utils::qualify(xsi => $self->xmlschemaclass->nilValue)} = $self->xmlschemaclass->as_undef(1)
CPAN/SOAP/Lite.pm: return [$name, {%$attr, SOAP::Utils::qualify(xsi => $schemaclass->nilValue) => $schemaclass->as_undef(1)}] unless defined $value;

What kind of controllers are you using? Web UI? Material skin? Smartphone app?

Yes: Enabled, keep player settings in sync. I did sign in yesterday for the first time in years and saw that the players are registered there and the player name is a synchronised field. The SBKitchen was registered as 'nil' though. Do you think it is possible that if there is timeout in the sync it can result in the name being lost? I don't think I really get any benefit so if the solution is to disable sync or not use the mysqueezebox integration then I can do that.
What kind of controllers are you using? Web UI? Material skin? Smartphone app?
Only the Web UI which is part of LMS.
I have two squeeze box radios with stock firmware ( 7.7.3-r16676) with LMS version 8.3.0. Occasionally "Player Name" in the player settings is forgotten and reverts to 'nil'. I've not noticed this problem with any other settings field but I think most of them are probably default values.
