I have the same months long stability running LMS 7.8.1 on WHS v1, running on Intel Atom server (two hyper threads) with 2GB RAM. Using the new bpa iPlayer plugin playing Dash at 320kbps. But what I have done is disable the "Name Resolution" service. This is not a DNS server on WHS, it's the DNS client caching that Windows gets hideously wrong. With that disabled all DNS lookups go to the DNS IP given out in the DHCP response, which in my case is a Raspberry Pi model B (512MB RAM) running dnsmasq on Raspbian as a house wide DNS cache. The person with the Server 2012R2 problem mentioned disabling the DNS server, but said nothing about the client side caching. I suggest trying disabling it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
