When using MySB the player is directly streaming from the station, but controls come from MySB. If your player loses connection to MySB the stream can continue to play just fine, until you attempt a player control function (volume, FFWD, change stations, etc...). Until the player reestablishes a connection to MySB then you have no player control. There are a couple of exceptions like the Radio does it's own local volume control.
Yes, some mms formats play fine, others do not. Try searching "mms" in these forums for many discussions about the issue. A regular contributor here, bpa, understands the issue far better than myself. He has suggested a simple email to the station telling them to "click x button on your stream software" will resolve a particular streaming issue. I don't recall if it was the mms issue specifically. MySB has already experienced login overload, particularly on the EU servers. Too many players connecting all at once. They have updated MySB servers and even added a new MySB datacenter to help with this overload. If you have four players using MySB, synced or not, each player is using a unique stream. However, each navigation or button press on each player requires action by MySB. If you change a station on four synced players then MySB needs to communicate this change to all four players. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83720 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
