Just reporting that this issue is still very much alive.
The glitch always happens between tracks, sometimes switching to an advertisement, sometimes fetching the next track.
Here is an example of the most recent stoppage:
http://diskstation:9002/plugins/slac...3Ac9%3A63%3A3a
Unable to retrieve next track, press PLAY to try again. (malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "<html>\n\t<head>\n\t...") at /volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Slim/Plugin/Slacker/ProtocolHandler.pm line 154. )
Running through LMS 7.9.0, player is Squeezelite 1.8.6-957, wired network. I never see the "unable to connect" problem others have reported.
128k CBR MP3
In this case, pressing play caused the next track (a commercial) to play briefly and then a second error very similar to the one above occurred.
Pressing play a third time started a new track playing which completed without error and another track was played as well.
