I am feeling particularly thick today so I am trying to get a simplistic view on this situation My thinking (which maybe wrong) was the LMS server says to each player here is what you are going to play, then says start now. After which the server steps back and allows the players to do the business just monitoring what is coming down the stream for display on the web interface Now the implication is that there is feedback from the players to the server saying I have just played bit x or bit y or bit z and it maybe for some reason these are not identical and therefore something either the server or the "master" player says resynchronise so the leading player stops playing for a millisecond or two to let the others catch up. Or the slowest one has to jump forward and if the error gets too great then then server says restart. Or alternatively the server streams the feed to each player separately and the server is continuously calling for more data to pump to the players and if one player cannot accept a package from the server for whatever reason the server calls a halt. Whichever scenario is appropriate then variation for synchronisation should be in milliseconds and not seconds running into a minutes. So my thought is to carry out a test of firstly each Pi in turn unsynchronised to see if there is an issue with a particular Pi. Then synchronise 2 Pi's out of 3 using all 3 possible combinations 1-2, 1-3, 2-3 Then go back to all 3 Pi's
Does this seem to be a reasonable suggestion on how toidentify the problem area Phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ comeng's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63874 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113563 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
