I've come to the conclusion that the DASH streams are VERY sensitive to any tiny network variation or interruption. I've just spent roughly a month trying to figure out a problem whereby all of the Squeezeboxes in the house (Ethernet and WiFi SB3s, WiFi Boom, Ethernet Joggler) would work perfectly on iPlayer DASH apart from a Radio, which despite showing a 100% WiFi signal strength on the Settings>Info page would re-buffer continuously in exactly the way you describe. I'm on PlusNet FTTC at a rock-solid 36Mbps with a consistent (although not static) external IP address. Updated the Plugin to 1.4.9, tried loads of other things (Upgrade / Downgrade of various bits of firmware / software along the chain) but eventually nailed it to some sort of mutual incompatibility between the Unifi WiFi AP I'd bought (which works wonderfully with every other device and Squeezebox in the house) and the Radio. Now, with a different (old TP-Link) AP installed in the loft directly above the Radio, on an SSID dedicated to the Radio (and again showing 100% WiFi signal strength), it works fine. The bizarre thing is that ONLY the iPlayer DASH streams on the Radio were affected - everything else (FLAC / MP3 stuff on the Library, Paradise Radio, other Internet Radio streams) would play just fine on all devices. So... I'm not sure there's any single answer to these problems, but looking through various posts on this thread it seems that any one of a number of tiny variations can cause rebuffering on the DASH streams more easily than other content. And if anyone else is getting strange behaviour with Unifi APs with an SB Radio, then try a different AP (or Ethernet) to eliminate that as an issue!
