I agree. The way this is implemented exposes any kind of issue in the network. I have hardly ever experienced any drop outs from the iPlayer app but I put this down to the fact that I use a business grade ISP (Zen), am relatively close to the Exchange and get close to 80 down and 20 up as a result and, possibly crucially, that I use a business grade router (Draytek Vigor). I often think that people who use the BT Home Hub and the like are working in blissful ignorance and being short changed by BT and their kin. I have heard many many horror stories about wifi dropouts and multiple replacement Home Hubs. I do think you pay for what you get. *Vortexbox LMS 7.9 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106230 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
