[SlimDevices: Beta] Operation Timed Out

This morning I saw a strange sequence of events:

1. My morning alarm fired, which is set to play random songs.
2. I woke up with the display reading "Now playing 10 of 20", but the current track wasn't playing.  The progress bar was empty, the time remaining wasn't decreasing.
3. I pressed play to force it to start playing the track again.
4. After a few seconds I saw an error flash briefly across the screen.  I think it said "Operation Timed Out".
5. The Now Playing information was wiped, and a new set of random songs started to play.  "Now Playing 1 of 10".


I'm on 6.5.1. SVN 10787.

Occasionally I do get a bit of wireless interference, eg. from neighbours changing channels, etc.  I've never seen a problem occur like this before though -   I am guessing that I won't be able to repeat it too easily.  I'm not too concerned about losing the connection briefly, but find it a bit strange that the playlist was lost and a new set of random tracks were created.
