Are you using 7.5.3 or later? This includes the necessary hint to the plugin to move server when it rebuffers for more than 20 seconds or so. The issue for the write cover entries is that the spotify server the plugin is connected to is not responding. This would also impact rebuffering. What seems to happen is that some of the spotify servers run slow, so the plugin will try to move server if it has prolonged rebuffering. At present it won't do this if there is no response to coverart requests and it will only do it with 7.5.3 server or later. Its worth bearing in mind that in comparison to the PC spotify client, all of the data for libspotify (which this plugin and the logitech firmware uses) comes direct from a spotify server. The PC clients use peer-peer and so suffer less when the server you are connected to at spotify is running slow as most of the data comes from other peers. At present I think the best we can do for this is to try to move server when the connection rebuffers, but to do this you need 7.5.3 or later server version. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
