Tested 2522 as follows and the issue still occurs for me:
1 Play trackA to Chromecast - Dining Room
--> track plays
2 Disconnect physical ethernet
--> Chromecast connection error (player output switches back to 'internal'), but track continues playing (from the chromecast buffer)
--> Wi-Fi automatically connects after 15s but chromecast stops playing once the buffer is exhausted about 2 minutes
3 Attempt to re-initiate playback of TrackB, TrackC to Chromecast - Dining Room
--> Chromecast connection tone sounds upon setting output to the chromecast (i.e. there seems to be a connection formed)
--> Decoding errors occur for each of the tracks
4 Attempt to play TrackB, TrackC to Chromecast - Kitchen
--> Tracks play without any issues
5 Restart MediaMonkey
6 Attempt to re-initiate playback of TrackB, TrackC to Chromecast - Dining Room
--> Tracks play as expected

Debug log/video shared offline.

In the log I see that your PC changed the IP from 192.168.0.48 to 192.168.0.61, but MM5 was serving the file still under the 192.168.0.48 -- so the file was unreachable by the Chromecast device.
So the reason is known.

Fixed in 5.0.2.2523

The cached serving IP is now correctly re-newed whenever the player was detected as inaccessible.
