When it was clear socketwrapper was being used for wav to flac and not resampling - it would have applied to Touch as well as Receiver so I felt it wasn't the answer to your problem. The explanation for the skipping is as follows. To play a file LMS tells a player to send a HTTP/Get so LMS can respond with an audio stream to play a file. LMS streams this file down on a single TCP connection in response to the GET. Once the TCP connection is closed (usually because file is finished), LMS then knows player should be told to send another GET to get next file in playlist. In your case, the TCP connection is closed prematurely before the whole file has been sent to the player but LMS doesn't know that so it just tell player to play next item in playlist. A connection is closed prematurely usually due to network problems. The file is sent in packets from LMS to player. Each packet has to be acknowledged. If LMS does not get an acknowledgment within a time period - the connection is reset and TCP is closed. The question is why was an acknowledgement not recieved by LMS: did player fail to get a packet and so didn't send an ack or did the ack get lost between player and LMS ? Either way data shouldn't be lost regularly on a network. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106233 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
