iPeng player on an iPhone 12 stutters a lot or sometimes suddenly kills playback with a loud sound in a moving car while fully connected to a 5G or LTE network. I connect through a self hosted split tunnel OpenVPN connection. It seems to work fine even over a weak connection in one spot. Bitrate limiting settings don't make any difference, FLACs and 128 bit mp3s both stutter. Playback buffer is large (default). I have no problems streaming other files over the same VPN connection - iSub streams audio flawlessly from a subsonic server, VLC player plays back video files without issue. I have tried LMS hosted over both a Synology NAS and a PC with sufficient resources without improvement. I do have MusicIP tags, but not images, written into the files, in case the size of tags matters. I would love to use iPeng to take advantage of Sugarcube/MusicIP auto queuing but so far it has proved unusable for longer than 20-30 mins.
I assume the player reads ahead and attempts to cache the next queued song but do not see any way to manually download anything to the phone. A desirable feature, if feasible, could be caching an entire playlist to the phone before starting the drive. To have iPeng player work freestanding with just cached data without any connection to LMS would be ideal but I have seen posts rejecting that possibility. I'd love access to cached music with skeletal info in an "offline mode" without the full power of the database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ guptaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21096 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
