You would use the Refresh Broadcasting button on the lead device. That would be an easier alternative to going to Settings > Live Sharing and turning broadcasting off and on.

Also, are you saying the following device is trying to auto-reconnect on a different day from when you last connected? For example, you were connected at a rehearsal and then closed the app and then at a gig the app tried to auto-reconnect? That shouldn't happen; the auto-reconnect is only intended to run if there is a temporary interruption to the network, or the app crashes and you restart it.

The option to follow actions from is really cool and we're using it since over a year. The big benefit for us is, that we actually don't start with a predefined Setlist. We select the songs adhoc while the gig, starting with set a handful of songs for a set, then having a short break, set up the next set and so on. Sometimes I'm changing the order while playing a set or extend it by more songs. It makes the communication on stage quite easy. Nevertheless can every user switch to the songlist, or switch manually between the Songs.
We also have sometimes the issue with drops and session error. Using three iPads been controlled by mine as master.
The main issue is, if one device is loosing the connection and reconnect, this device comes with the error message ,song cannot be found' and I need to remove the songs and add it again.

Just curious, what does the ,use new peer connections' mean?

I think you mean if you add a song to a set list while a following device is disconnected, the song isn't added on that device. You can avoid that problem by viewing All Songs on the following devices instead of viewing a specific set list.

That uses newer networking code, which is still in a testing phase, but so far it looks like it's more reliable than the older code.
