My family have some favorite radio stations that we can only listen to on the Slim Player. We have noticed bandwidth consumption has increased significantly as a result. In part this is because people select the radio on every SB as they go from room to room, and then either do not stop it or turn it off when they leave the room, or turn off the amplifier (not the SB). So I have a few questions.. 1. If, when listening to internet radio, you simply turn the SB off, does it stop the streaming into the server? - I appreciate it stops streaming to the SB. (I assume it does). 2. If a radio station is already being streamed to one player, is it possible (has anyone considered) - as an option - automatically synching to the already streamed player to save upline bandwidth. 3. When synching players to a radio station I understand that they get out of synch due to 'no start of track' - has anyone considered (as a synch option) to insert a 're-synch' every (say) 5 minutes?
As a short term fix, I have installed the powersave plugin to turn players off every hour by default but this is a bit cumbersome. -- yeomanspc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yeomanspc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26139 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
