The SB hardware is in active communication with the server all the time so they can discuss how full buffers are and fill them accordingly so can play a lot sooner. Each stream is unique to the player and they get their own, even browsers so whilst they may play exactly the same time and at exactly the same time they are independent streams. For synchronised SBs they are still multiple independent streams just kept in time by the server. (Browser streams can't be synchronised if I remember correctly.) -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54848 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
