The "Natural Sounds" are streamed from mysb.com but they are also looped so that only a small amount of data downloaded once which is then played continuously. However the delay in setting up the connection to mysb.com is probably exceeding what the Radio thinks is normal. The delay is probably worst in early hours after many hours of non activity on home network because - caches such as DNS will have timed out so lookups will take longer as many tables will have to be searched rather than one lookup. - if using wifi - router will have gone to slow poll and possibly low energy. - ISP do maintenance at night and so network caches/tables/connections may have changed and again connection taker longer - first time. - DHCP leases may be expired and have to be renewed This makes testing hard as a true test can only be run once a night as a 2nd test will be quicker since caches etc. will have been renewed. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81273 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
