I'm not an expert on how Slimserver buffers everything, but with local mp3s and wma files it has the entire file to read ahead and buffer. With a stream it does not have this luxury. SlimServer does offer some stream buffering settings, but depending on your decoding/player settings I don't think they always apply. There are a lot of variables at play here.
But like I said before, the plugin just retrieves a URL to stream and hands it over to SlimServer to play. From that point forward playing the actual stream is all handled by SlimServer. The only possible thing that could impact the plugin/slimserver is if whatever source you have selected for song title info is down/hanging. Although they're async calls there are times they can cause SlimServer to hang. If this were the case though you'd probably have hangs/pauses greater than 10seconds... -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
