Usually, when iPeng reconnects to a server after losing a connection, it waits for 30s (1 minute for it's own player) to see whether the player shows up again and if it doesn't, it switches to a different one. It also should try to immediately reconnect the player, sounds like this fails for you for some reason. > > I have to kill iPeng and start it again to get the iPad back on the > list. > So just turning off the screen and re-opening iPeng doesn't help?

It's a bit difficult to determine when the connection is _really_ lost (iPhone keeps it "virtually" open for several minutes). I somewhat suspect that this might also be the reason for the problem you are seeing. I know we were having some issues with certain routers or when switching between WiFi and 3G because the connection never failed. This means, iPeng doesn't notice that it's disconnected (iOS reports the connection as still open) and just doesn't get data and the data it sends doesn't get through. I just didn't think it happens if only 3G is involved.
iPeng tries to "run on" if it's uncertain about the status because it uses quite a large internal buffer and hopes to recover while there is still data in there instead of giving up at the first glimpse of trouble. If you stop hearing music the actual loss of connection usually has been like 40s or even longer ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
