Andy, i now have the clean install of the current 6.5.1 and as i thought, it did nothing to help the problem.
the stream still stutters badly after just a few minutes or even moments. i tried it both on SS and on SN. same thing. i have both set to buffer for 5 seconds, (3 is the default), but as far as i can tell, this merely delays the inevitable. winamp or other programs have no problem playing these streams. the problem as i see it is that whatever changes are new since sometime after 6.2 have broken the ability of SB to robustly playback shoutcast streams. while i am for the SB being able to directly establish a connection to the net streams, (so i can reboot without losing the music) i am not for it if it means it doesn't work. based on what i had read in this thread, it seemed to me that the proposed fixes would not fix anything, they sounded cosmetic to me. can you please explain to me why SB used to be able to do this, but now can't? listening to these streams is why i got a SB. if i had to guess, i would guess the SB hardware is simply not up to the task of DIRECT streaming... altho i think SN used to be able to do it previously. this is why i'm upset, please respond, thanks, -mdw -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.0 - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28392 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
