I have been running a squeezebox radio along with squeezeplayer on 1 or 2 HTC Evo 4g's. Fine and dandy using either web based control, control on radio, squeezecommander or orange squeeze.
The other night i added squeezeslave as a service to 2 of my local HTPC's. The problem: If i try to group the htpcs with squeezeslave services with squeezeplayer things go haywire. Radio with 2 squeezeslaves in a group: Fine Radio with 2 squeezeplayers in a group: Fine Any combination of squeezeplayer(s) and squeezeslave(s) in a group: no good I can even run 2 separate sync groups: 1 with the squeezeslaves, 1 with squeezeplayers (radio added to either/or) with no problem I understand that sync isn't always going to be perfect using software and hardware based players. Delays in sync are fine, I understand the limitations. Basically this is what happens, the only way to get squeezeplayers to play while synced with squeezeslave is to turn off all other devices in group, turn on squeezeplayers, press play, then turn on other devices (radio, htpcs). After playing through a few songs from my local library i get audio dropouts and my radio displays "rebuffering" after it rebuffers audio on the radio & htpcs starts but squeezeplayers audio stops even though the squeezeplayers are turned on. In that scenario if you check buffers in the actual squeezeplayer app it displays somewhere around 95%/98% but shows that the status is either paused or stopped. If i make one of the squeezeplayers the active player in any of the controls it shows they are in fact playing. Every couple of songs it continually rebuffers on radio and squeezeslave unless i power off the grouped squeezeplayer devices. After the first initial rebuffer, track time progress towards the end of songs is screwy (counts down to 0:00 and then does -0:01. -0:02 repeatedly) and album art doesn't display new song until about 30 secs into it. Strange things, any help would be appreciated greatly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kingallen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56710 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
