Without trying to complicate thing, just 2 comments .... 1) You mention placing the laptop router & SB3 close together to solve dropouts.
This kind of implies that you have a wireless card in your laptop communicating with the same router as the SB3. This is a poor network design that is know to cuase issues as there are 2 wireless "hops" involved in getting data from the machine running Slimserver to the SB3. I suggest a wired link from the machine running Slimserver to your router. 2) You talk about listening to the Steve Wright show while it's live on the BBC. The BBC can only support a finite number of streams before users start to experience dropouts in the audio. The more popular the stream, the more likely for this to occur. This is why they don't even bother to stream the likes of Wogan and J. Ross live. The Beeb provides the "listen again" links to try to spread the load on their servers. You'll find that a PC running Realplayer would be experiencing similar dropouts as the SB3 is when stream Steve Wright, although Realplayer might buffer the data better. -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29700 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
