Your Airplay errors confuse me, because they don't seem to be the same, but given the shear number there must be some common cause? To sum up, you have observed these four error types:
[2019-07-13 16:48:16] [ LOG] raop: Send error for 'MC200Air': Connection refused
...
[2019-07-14 15:45:23] [ LOG] raop: Device 'MC200Air' closed RTSP connection
...
[2019-07-14 16:58:51] [ LOG] player: Output delay detected (behind=229, max=150), resetting all outputs
...
Retransmits and then:
[2019-07-14 17:43:37] [ LOG] raop: No reply from 'Samsung W_Audio E750_d1:e1:b5' to our keep alive request, hanging up
So for the first two the device is hanging up (albeit in different ways), for the next one forked-daapd seems to be blocked writing to the devices (unusual - not sure what might cause that), and finally what seems to be a connection issue.
There are no real hints to what might specifically be wrong, and I haven't made any changes to these parts of forked-daapd in a while, so that leaves me even more confused.
To progress with this I think it will be necessary that you identify a single, reproducible way of making one of your devices fail. Then let's dig into that more systematically. One thing to test would then be to go back and test maybe the latest release version of forked-daapd and see if that also fails - i.e. try to identify when a bug may have appeared. Another thing to test would be if the network has an impact (wifi vs wired).
Wont be easy to reproduce, If I find a way, I get you an update! since i have to run at least two speakers for a while, I have to find a day my girlfriend is out...
Wasn't sure if I should open a separate issue for this, but my Sony STR-DN840 receiver is more or less guaranteed to hang forked-daapd after anywhere from 5 mins to a couple hours of receiving audio. Confirmed the same failure doesn't occur while streaming the same files to an Apple TV, so I assume the receiver is the culprit.
Typical behavior is for playback to stop abruptly in the middle of a song, at which point the forked-daapd process goes to 100% CPU and becomes unresponsive but doesn't crash outright. (Though, it also does crash periodically -- not sure if that's an unrelated issue, but come to think of it I don't believe I've seen a crash since switching to the Apple TV). All devices are on the wired LAN for what it's worth, and the version I'm running was built in FreeBSD 11.2 from source on June 29 (so apologies if you've fixed this already).
I managed to catch the hang a couple of times at warn and debug log levels -- this will go on incessantly unless I kill the process. (In the debug instance I didn't get around to killing it for almost 24 hours, which generated a log file over 700GB (!!). Never seen ZFS hit 15x compression before.)

I personally have a Sony DN1040, which is probably the same as yours when it comes to this. I have tested a lot with it, and since I haven’t experienced this it probably means there is more to it than just the device.
The extra factor may be network packet loss, because when you see those log messages it means the device is asking for a packet to be sent again. As you can see, it fails because forked-daapd no longer has the packet in the retransmit buffer.
I think the packet rate is 352 per second, and from your log you can see that the device is asking for packets with numbers that are nowhere near the current. That could be a bug in forked-daapd, but determination of that will require more investigation.
I'm happy to test to help narrow down the cause (we're trying to ditch the Apple TV, so getting the receiver to work reliably with forked-daapd would be welcome).
I'll compile a new version from the current source tonight to make sure the issue hasn't already been addressed in the last month -- what do you recommend testing from there?
I've done a lot of network testing on this -- my receiver typically is connected to an older gigabit switch and cable, so I tried connecting it to wi-fi instead, and then also connected it directly to the NAS that forked-daapd runs on via two brand new Cat 6 cables and a new switch, and and in both cases still observed the same flood of retransmit requests.
In fairness, the new version I compiled last week seems to handle this situation more gracefully than before since playback continues smoothly for a while after the errors start, but it still results in forked-daapd seizing up eventually. In both cases I had a tail of the debug log running in a console window and watched the hang happen more or less in real time.
If there's any other testing I can do on my end to help diagnose, let me know -- I feel confident that it isn't a network issue after all this, though.
Good work on ruling out network. I can’t think of a reason why forked-daapd would hang after retransmission requests, so when I am back home I will have to mock some to see what happens. Can you confirm that what you are seeing is a hang, ie the process runs but is unresponsive?
Other than that you could try adding logging of which sequence numbers are sent, and which are requested. Requires modifying the code, so not sure if you are up to that.
It is odd that you see retransmission requests when there is no packet loss. Only possible reason for that I can think of is that the timing is wrong. A rough test for that would be for you to try running the last release of forked-daapd, so 26.5, to see if the issue is also there. I have changed a lot of the internals since that release, so maybe I have made a mistake?
I'd be glad to give the sequence logging a shot if you're able to walk me through what I'd need to modify -- if it's just adding or changing some lines that shouldn't be a problem. (I definitely don't have the expertise to figure it out myself though.)
I'll reproduce the hang and paste the results in here, but typically, htop reports the process as sitting at 100% CPU indefinitely, and the iOS Remote app can no longer connect to it. Even trying to cleanly shut down the service never completes and requires me to stop and restart the entire jail it's running in. (I have an old Raspberry Pi lying around, if you think it'd be worth building and testing f-d in Raspbian to rule out any FreeBSD/jail-related issues.)
Should be able to compile the 26.5 release and give that a shot too, stay tuned.
Sounds like there might be two issues then: CPU at 100% (infinite loop?) and some issue making the device request retransmission.
On second thought I am not sure logging of sequence number will help, and any case it is difficult for me to give instructions since I am on phone. So right now let us just see how the release version works.
The flood of retransmit requests is what seems to lead to the lockup and CPU maxing out -- to be clear, the process sits at normal utilization (like 0.5% CPU) until it becomes unresponsive via Remote app and command line. A loop does seem likely from what I can tell.
I spun up the stock 26.5 release in a separate jail and have done some testing. The log looks much different as I'm sure you know, and there haven't been any similar endless requests. Sample output below.
This version does have a different and less severe issue than the current master -- I loaded up a long playlist last night before bed and then another one before I went to work today, and in both cases by the time I checked on it ~9 hours later, no audio was actually being played from the speakers. However the Remote app showed the current song timeline progressing normally, I could control the receiver volume from the app as usual, and skipping to the next song in the playlist restored audio. So something is interfering with playback after some amount of time with that version, but it isn't hard locking the entire system like the new one.

I think I may have found the cause of the CPU issue, but before I try to fix it I need to confirm I am on the right path. So I have added a commit with a bit of extra logging, and I hope you will take that for a spin (with loglevel at debug level). Hopefully you can reproduce the issue again, and then please attach the log file here with at least the part from the last "Got retransmit request from..." and everything thereafter (but please cut out/shorten repetitions).
Thanks for continuing to look into this -- I've managed to reproduce the loop with the modified logging enabled, and attached a shortened log that starts at the beginning of playback of the final song and goes up to the point when the loop begins (with a lot of retransmit requests removed in between).
I also included the full log from the first run of this version just in case it's useful. It's pretty large as it took 8-9 hours of repeating a playlist to trigger the loop this time, although I've also seen it hang up after 5 or 10 minutes of playback.
You are welcome, thanks for helping debugging forked-daapd. The log seems to confirm what I suspected might be a bug that created an infinite loop. I have also found a bug that means that in some circumstances forked-daapd would not retransmit the correct package, which would explain why your device keeps asking for retransmission.
I believe I have fixed both bugs with the commit above, so once again I hope you will rebuild and test. Let me know if it is better - I will be crossing my fingers in the meantime.
PS: You are welcome to delete the log again if you don't want it shared here any more
Well, early results are certainly promising -- I queued up four albums right after building the fixed version, then a couple more later in the evening, then a huge playlist before bed which has run for ~9 hours overnight and counting, all without restarting the service. Playback has been fine the whole time from what I've heard, CPU load still normal, Remote UI is still responsive, etc. Obviously it's hard to say definitively whether we're in the clear or not unless something else goes wrong, but it never would've lasted this long before without issue, so this is very encouraging.
It may be worth noting that there are still near-constant retransmit requests coming from the receiver in the debug log (from eyeballing it, about 4-8 requests every 1-3 seconds). Is that any cause for concern? It doesn't seem to be affecting audio playback from what I can hear.
Sounds good, very happy to hear it is working better.
forked-daapd sends 352 packets each second, so resending a few extra packages each second isn't as such a problem. Audio should also be full quality, that is of course the point of the retransmission.
However, I still think it is worth investigating, because it is unusual. I would at least like to confirm that forked-daapd now sends the correct packages, so it would be great if you could build and test with yet a small logging modification. I have put it in a special branch which is logretransmit1. So you will need to switch to that.
I don't think you need to test for very long, just get like 10 to 20 retransmissions logged, and then paste the lines here (those that say "Got retransmit request..." and say "Retransmitting packet...").
No problem, here you go:

I would say it looks ok. The packets being sent are correct, and the retransmit requests from the device also seem sensible. The number of retransmit requests is still unusually high, and I can't explain that. But since the errors in forked-daapd appear to be fixed, and playback is working, I will close the issue.
while investigation the artwort bug from #773, i noticed that my speakers keep failing. To simplify, I only testet with two (Samsung E751 and Boston MCAir200; Seems to be a problem with synch: First, the speakers state a few dozen times they request a retransmit, then they mute. forked-daapd.zip
