For SB Player, try setting the number of connection retries to infinite: Settings > General > Max Retry. By default SB Player only retries 5 times. After about 5 retries, the retry delay would have increased to 60 seconds, so if the connection is knocked out for more than a minute, the reconnection will not be immediate. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102699 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
