Improving the network seems necessary in your case, and I'm sure you'll see improvements from so doing.
The jury remains out as to whether things have gotten worse due to some regression in the software or firmware that makes up the Squeezebox system. I suspect only a controlled experiment, with controlled amounts of network congestion/radio interference will be able to answer that one. The closest thing to a *user report* that could shed some light on it is if someone reverts to 7.2.1 and gets perfect playback, goes to 7.3.3 and it's broken again, and then reverts to 7.2.1 and it stays fixed. And as you rightly point out, it's not the rebuffering message that is the problem, it's interruptions to playback we care about. I suggest that anyone who has experiences that suggest the latest 7.3.3 or 7.3.4 is more fragile than a previous version post to the bug report https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13092. I don't think it is particularly worth posting info to the bug that improving the network improved the streaming experience, because that is what we'd all expect whether or not there is a particular bug to be found. Probably, that point has been emphasized enough by now :-) Good luck with your network improvements; it's always a good investment to make your network more robust, particularly in your case, since you were already seeing issues with 7.2.1. -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65719 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
