Solved I think. - Rebooted into Max2Play and then downgraded the server to 9.2. - Installed Patch server and installed version patch to all radios - Changed VirginMedia box into modem mode - Set all SB Radios to fixed IP addresses and set to high priority on Deco mesh system So

Thanks for the help guys. It appears it is NOT LMS/SB related as I connected my Marantz to internet radio and find I'm getting the exact same problem. So yes, it seems it is provider-related, even though I get 200+ Mbps download as solid as a rock. I'll have to go to the provider forums and

Thanks again, but no joy so far: I've just checked my modem logs and it "might" be an issue. I'm going to go quiet for a day or so whilst I check it out - I should have 150+Mbps, but am not getting better than a third of that at present. Cheers Robert

A server log (when rebuffering occurs) might help. When the Radio resumes, does it pick up where the failure occurs or further into the playback ? You say the Radios are patched > 7.3.3, would you please care to explain the steps taken As this effects all Radios it would seem to indicate a

A couple of things to try to identify source or eliminate possibilities: 1-Does the buffering problem go away if you connect the Radio via ethernet as opposed to Wifi? 2-Does the buffering problem occur or go away if you stream music from your own music library? 3-Does the buffering problem

A short while ago, I decided to set up a separate LMS instance on a RaspPi, rather than run it through my (linux) desktop as I had historically. Unfortunately I also made some network changes at the same time, and after the current problems became apparent, I have been putting things back to
