I had similar problems on Windows, and it was quite hard to persuade others that it really was happening. I spent ages trying to find out where the data was being held, and never really got to the bottom of it, so good luck hunting the data! By looking at network traffic when I started streaming, I proved the data was being buffered on the PC, not in my Touch or elsewhere. I seem to recall I also proved it was not getting to LMS either, so was somewhere else in the chain.
Since then I moved on to Linux, didn't have much success with WaveInput (possibly because of a slightly complex audio set-up with 2 different cards, pulse audio and the rest), and eventually settled on using VLC to stream to LMS. It took me quite a lot of effort to get that to work, but it was rewarded by a stable system with a 1-2 second delay. My disoriented ramblings on this are on pages 15/16 of this thread. This solution has the added advantage that I can now do something more complex which is quite important to me. I want to listen to an internet site on my Touch and Hi Fi in one room and I want to control what I hear from the Internet sitting in that room. However my LMS is in another room (now running on VortexBox, but it could just as well be a PC desktop running Linux or Windows). Using a wireless laptop (running Linux) I can now go to the website I want to listen to, start vlc to stream the audio (wirelessly) to LMS elsewhere, and listen to the result coming back to my Touch. LMS effectively treats the stream as an internet radio station, which I have stored as a favourite in LMS. This solution works well for me and has proved reliable. I haven't had to tinker with it at all once I had it set up correctly. The only odd wrinkle is that I could not stop the sound being played on my laptop - muting my audio stopped the streaming. The solution was to plug a headphone adaptor into the headphone socket (crude, I know, but effective). I did try running LMS on my ancient (2003) laptop but it wasn't really up to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
