The spotify plugin does the decoding on the server and streams as flac or uncompressed to the player. This means your network needs to be able to copy with flac or wav streaming. I suspect your wifi network does not have the bandwidth for this. As this is a boom, how about moving it to closer to the wifi router and checking if it improves it? -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90265 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
