I have now connected a radio to my pi3B PCP LMS system. It all works and there is very little delay. The buffering number is the amount of data in the player - this seems to imply the Radio is part of the problem - only 11% of data got to the Radio. I'm guessing not enough data in buffer to trigger playback. So either 1. CD drive is very slow 2. Network connection to Radio is poor. I'm assuming you have been able to play flac file on your radio without any issue - in which case it comes back to the CD drive. Can you get a log of player.source set to INFO playing a track - I want to see how long it takes for buffer to fill up - please do NOT terminate until at least 3 minutes. Have you tried the CD drive plugged into a USB powered hub rather than the Pi ? CD drive can be hogs and I know Pi3 USB can have difficulties with CD drives plugged directly into the RPi USB ports. Previously I have done tests and in those cases other USB device (e.g. memory stick) dropped off when the CD drive was in operation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47288 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
