A bit like what happened to me upgrading TO that release. (Dec 11th 2023)
Before I break MY system, will a *fresh* install plus full updates work?

Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early
twenty-first century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a
globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and,
on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer
projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to
contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

FFS you've got one infested with systemd's journald and no rsyslog
installed - in which case god help you.

You shouldn't need to run a mediaplayer as root, it is not a good thing
to do.

From your log:

Is there something wrong with networking on your Pi? Can you
ping google.com?
It looks like you've configured this URL:
[org.rpi.config.Config] 'pins_service_url' : 'http://192.168.1.205:8088/PinServiceManager1/webapi/broadcast'
I don't know what it does, but can you ping that IP (192.168.1.205)?

In the log, why is FATAL being used like INFO?
It makes me wonder what level of support this app gets, if the answer is
very little, is it worth the effort?
There are very good media players for the rPi like mpv. What does this
app give you?

Fair enough, I never got into the home streaming idea. I just have NAS
and play music and video on the rPi, like I would on a normal PC.
