Answers: 1) A variety of listen again programs primarily n 7 and 4 but I also tried some bbc1. If i listen using xplayer then no rebuffering. 2) Here you have immediately isolated the probable cause - the rebuffering message is on the display. Therefore you say the problem is between the SBs (because they all have the same broblem (I have 3 SB3 and one Duet reciever) and the QNAP. All four are Cat5e hardwired - so the issue is not wireless. I have a DLINK DIR 655, and last time, to get BBC to work at all i turned off the rtsp setting on the appligation level gateway. I saw other suggestions and turned off QoS with no luck. If you have a suspicioon of what areas might be the problem I can google some solutions. 3. No problem occurs even without synching 4. Current settings: I followed flipflip's FAQ suggestions: RTSP Flac Disabled MP3 Disabled WAV mplayer-stdout I need to find how to perform the Network Test and I will give you the results later. -- Coppernob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Coppernob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2551 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50447 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
