OK - spun up a Ubuntu VM, installed 7.9 on it and it's very similar to the Windows version - the non-UK versions plays for a few seconds and then goes into rebuffering. Difference is that the linux version seems to recover from this and start playing again then stops again, then starts again etc., whereas the windows version gets stuck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
