I would agree, if you are going to use Debian on Raspberry Pi use Raspbian. It's their recommended OS should get you the best performance from the box. I'm sure we've had some successful Raspberry Pi users on here.

Re: [slim] Can SB Handle HTTPS Streams?
If you had a really high grade router or firewall you MAY be able to use some clever DNAT/SNAT rules to let LMS think it's connecting on 80 when it is I fact 443 but it is very esoteric and if a user / pass is required to connect to the https then forget it.

Likely the PI is just lacking the processing power to transcode. Unlikely to be your ISP or an internet issue. Simple test to find out.

Hi there, I think it is Radioio as I've tried some others which stream in Mp3 @128 and it seems ok, but Radioio through my ReadyNas ( which is not very powerful ) plays without any rebuffering ( apart from the initial connection which they all do ) so it's got to be the pi.

Re: [slim] Internet radio - is logitechmedia server involved
Update - taking a break from the Internet radio test and trying it playing flacs from my library and so far it's played for fifteen minutes without a glitch so it's looking like an Internet issue but I have a very good high speed broadband so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what it is causing the rebuffering.

Hi there, my network is well capable of delivering anything - there's no wi-fi involved anywhere it's all gigabit cabled - would LMS need to convert to flac when playing a radio stream ? - the OS on the Pi is Debian Wheezy with all updates applied ( LMS is 7.8 ) - whether it's using soft or hard float I don't know - I have three servers setup on my network and they all work perfectly except the Pi which plays ok for a few minutes ( Flac files or internet radio ) then cuts out (I'm assuming it's buffering ) it's the 512mb of RAM model which I hoped would be up to the job - but it's looking like it's not - I'll try what you suggested and report back - than you very much for your input When the going gets weird - the weird turn pro.

AAC to PCM does not require much processing and IIRC LMS build for ARm doesn't use Floating point. PCM to Flac require more processing and this might be the problem - try disabling AAC toi Flac in LMS Settings/Advanced/Filetypes - send PCM will load your network even more so you need a good network.
