If it was working OK and not isn't - think about what has changed ? ISPs can selectivley "manage" traffic with specific sites/stream type so just because you have no problem with other sites doesn't mean the ISP is not at fault. Do you get buffering/stalls playing same iPlayer stream on smartphone and/or pc based web browser on home network ?
Try playing "listen again" - when live streaming, if there is a BBC network congestion - then the stream will have to jump every so often to catch up otherwise after a while the live internet stream canl be behind FM Radio by minutes. "Listen again" is not live and so there willl never be this "catch up" issue. If buffering only occurs on "live" then it is probably a BBC issue. When playing the station check the more info to determine the stream type. WMA is played natively by the Boom so stream will go direct from BBC to Boom - in whcih case LMS has nothing to do with the playing and doesn't matter version or server type. BBC also uses a different "network" to provide WMA compared to WMA and so sometimes problems are on WMA and not on AAC. If playing AAC, transcoding is happing so processor of LMS can make a big difference. What is the processor in HP or server model - e.g. is it a small ARM based NAS or a big Xeon based server or something in between ? Some routers have more "security" or traffic handling features and if enabled can "interfere" with streaming data (e.g. holding back packets). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
