Hi Michael,
Firstly, thanks for your work - it is tremendous!
I was wondering, when you use the 'Transfer Playback' feature, what
routing is taking place? I can think of 2 possibilities:

Thanks again bpa. Acting on a suspicion, I persuaded the Boom to join a
WiFi segment directly running from the WiFi access point (i.e. not
offered by an extender) and buffering problems went away. Directly
before I did that, on the extender's segment, it was dropping and
buffering, so I think I

on the assumption that that is where the data streams from.
During the time I was

Which is probably to do with the WAN?

I am running 1.6, and also have the repo registered. I just set the

Also, thanks so much for the work you do here.

Just delete it (rm). It is automatically rebuilt when LMS starts up. I
can't recall if you need to have stopped LMS before deleting, i.e.
whether there is a lock on it.

You need to download the utgg modified BBCXMLParser.pm script. It is
