Ok I've just been trying this again and have observed the Squeezeplayer network stats when the problem occurs: the 2nd number starts getting lower...eventually hitting zero. At this stage the first number starts falling and eventually hits zero - at that stage it goes into buffering mode and stops playing for a few seconds. I did change the wifi router to a new channel (3), which according to wi-fi analyzer isn't contended with other nearby devices, but this doesn't seem to have helped. If I use the version that keeps the screen on presumably I'll take quite a battery hit? (or were you only suggesting that for diagnostic purposes?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ itm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98850 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
