Hi again Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been running a few checks. Basically, it looks to me as if it may be the animated icons. I was using SpiceyWeather (I'll call it SW if that's OK) on 2 of my SB3s, and was originally getting the buffering problem on one while the other one was showing SW. I turned SW off on one of the SB3s, and then checked the QNAP's system resources. These showed nearly constant 90-100% CPU usage on just the one SB3 using SW in standby (that's not normal for the QNAP). What I haven't done is tried playback while SW was enabled on the single SB3, but given the CPU useage, a buffering problem is highly likely if not definitely going to occur. Disabling the SW plugin has resulted in CPU useage reverting to a more normal 10-15% in standby. If, having read this, you still feel that the animation side of things is the likely cause, and an option to disable it can be integrated, then I'll gladly try that out and post my results. Just for info, I had WeatherTime on a 15 minute refresh and that didn't have any material impact on playback. thanks again for your interest.
