Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I've tried increasing and decreasing the Synchronized Players Startup Delay to no avail. I had been using Direct Streaming, but tried setting it to Proxied for each player and that didn't help either. I can post some logs from player.sync = Debug, but is there another log I can also select to show how LMS is parsing and processing the radio stream? I do not think it is the network as I'm averaging 2 - 4ms at each of the 18 radios on a ping -t when nothing is playing and the same latency with all 18 synced and streaming. I've backed off the Minimum Synchronization Adjustment (ms) from 10 to 60 and that seems to be the only setting that helps. Local music generally starts playing within 5 seconds about 3/4 of the time. Sometimes it will take up to 30 seconds to hear the sound at the radios (though the timescale slider moves as though I "should" be hearing the audio). And few internet radio stations also start up quickly. But most of the are still taking a full 1 minute or won't start playing at all. I'm going to try installing LMS on another slightly more powerful machine to see if that does anything for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tandy1000rl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100183
