Difference between these two cases is also the bandwidth - looks like the higher one is not using flac, whereas the second one is using flac (if it is the same track?) I suspect this is a problem with the linux network stack, but have not been able to get to the bottom of it. There's no change to the help app between linux and windows, so it really depends on how regularly libspotify calls the helper app and what the network stack does. Do you see any difference in the intervals at which music_delivery was called? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97851 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
