Oh dear. I think we've already established that they are not really
droppable! Worth opening up, though, and making sure that everything
is still fully seated inside (I've not been inside an SB3 but some of

For bpa - thanks for your interest and help, I also though something was
missing.
I used a number of urls for SKY.FM streams all of which work on Winamp
and on my PDA using TCPMP. My feeling was that Mplayer was not able to
do the conversion from AAC+ to MP3 and that some other software was
Mplayer handles the AACPlus perfectly well - I have tested Sky URLs from
the command line. The problem is that Slimserver gets its hands on the
URL first and opens it and passes stdin to Mplayer which Mplayer
doesn't like. A protocol handler is needed so that urls are identified
easily and
Good news about Mplayer ability. What about the Convert.conf (I think
its called) file in slimserver, that seems to be about protocol
identification. I don't know what it does, perhaps there is someone
out there who can contribute to the debate.

I experienced this problem when wireless link was around 60% (using
Netgear 834). I disabled fade in fade out but SB continued to crash
but only on tracks coded at 224Kb VBR.
Investigation of network traffic showed that it was peaking to maximum
on track changeover, causing the box to crash.

Convert.conf is for the standard Slimserver conversions - the custom

support apps e.g. MOV123 can't handle AACPlus so you need to use a

Mostly unique, yes, but nothing to guarantee non-interference... One
suggestion would be to get a universal remote and (1) get it to
generate JVC codes and (2) tell slimserver to respond to same.
If that doesn't work you might need to get into the custom IR map.

The buffer settings as you pointed out depend on the MAXCHUNKSIZE
