I don't understand ... Does the RP plugin download the entire FLAC file all at once and then LMS begin to stream this data one song at a time to the player, or is LMS downloading the file piecemeal while streaming to
The plugin does nothing with the stream. It only tells LMS what URL to play from. LMS would then start as quickly as possible, while still downloading the rest of the file.
the player? From my past snooping using Wireshark, I had come under the impression that the FLAC file is being download in pieces while streaming to the player was ongoing, but eavesdropping on the Volumeio forum, their discussion appeared to suggest the file was download all at once in the beginning.
Volumio is doing whatever the Volumio devs have decided to do. It has nothing to do with LMS.
I have set the LMS radio station buffer to 30 seconds - does that make any difference when playing RP FLAC Interactive, since it is really downloading a file instead of actually streaming?
I _think_ it can delay start of the playback as LMS would try to buffer the 30s before it starts playing. But that kind of code is well beyond my comfort zone (I'm sure bpa or philippe_44 would know better).
