Not quite true. The delay depends on you LMS server and how it processes input an can be as short as a few secs. The player buffer is big but is not entirely filled when using WAVIN. The buffer is entirely filled when playing from files but when playing from streams (e.g. live radio) there is a time threshold which once filled LMS will start playing even if player buffer is not filled - this lower threshold is set by WebUI Settings/Advanced/Network/ Radio Station Buffer Seconds. The WAVIN plugin mimics a radio stream. If you have a SB3/SB classic player there is a screen display setting which lets you see the buffer "fullness". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103833 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
