if i'm defensive, its b/c i KNOW its not the wireless. this isn't the first thread this has been gone over in, don't assume i haven't "tackled" all the possibilities it was in my power to do so. probably half my posts are on this topic. fyi, it was only SOME streams that had the problem, not all did, and local music didn't. if it were the wireless, that wouldn't be the case. andyg seems to agree that in my case, it probably isn't the wireless.
It's almost as if some streams come from farther across the Internet than others, and have more network hops... nah, that's crazy talk. Never mind.
and the other side of the coin is that all too often people will keep harping on the wireless angle b/c they either believe thats it 99% of the time, or b/c they love SD so much they don't want to admit it might have a problem.
I've had SD firmware problems, and I'm certainly willing to believe that they exist. It was over 3 years ago and I think there's only been one similar problem since then. That said, wireless problems are a lot more common. You say nothing has changed, and I'm sure nothing has changed within your house. Do you live out of range of other equipment in the 900 MHz and/or 2.4 GHz range though? Maybe your neighbor bought a microwave. You've said things got better recently... maybe your neighbor didn't like it and returned it. I'm just trying to point out that it's really easy to say "I KNOW it's not my problem", but it's a little harder to be sure that it's not your problem. I got to spend this morning in my crawlspace after my server/router decided to barf when the outside temperature dropped to freezing; turns out that the server's NICs are failing, and the symptoms are certainly comparable to yours; jiggling the wires puts it all back to rights for now, but who knows. I've never had good Internet radio or VoIP or Webex performance, but I've written it off as ISP trouble until recently. Now, if I only look at one problem in isolation, is it the failing NICs, or is it some Linux kernel bug, or is it Slim Devices firmware? Kinda hard to say until the whole thing fails, right? -- "I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander" -- traditional _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
