Having used DSBridge now for a couple of hours I can conclude that it works great!
Some observations: My Squeezebox shows two values for the streaming buffer. The first value seems to be how many seconds that the Squeezebox has buffered itself, and the second value seems to be the size of the buffer in DSBridge. When I change track or skip within a track the second value increases by about 1,8 seconds until it is up to 10 seconds in total. The first value very slowly increases to (to infinity?). If I pause Spotify the first value goes to zero (in real time), then the second value decreases to zero. If I hit play before it reaches zero the sound continous as if nothing happened, but the buffer levels are now lower than before. The audio delay seems to be the sum of both values. After a long time the values can be 20/10 seconds. If I change track then, it takes 30 seconds before I hear the change (unless I pause playback for 28 seconds first, then the delay is down to two seconds). Would it be possible to include a setting for buffersize in the .ini-file? And why does it "jump" 1,8 seconds when I change track? Some "initial buffering" when Spotify starts to send data? If the buffer size can't be reduced, maybe DSBridge can pause Spotify automatically every now and then to lower the buffer levels. This could be done by simulating the keyboard key "APPCOMMAND_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE". This works also when Spotify is minimized or not in focus. I'm using 320kbit/s now and the sound is quite enjoyable! -- Martin43 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Martin43's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22082 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64590 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
