Hi @bpa, > Please describe your network setup in detail as I think this is the > first time you have said Squeezeplay was over VPN but Airplay was local > to LMS. Does that means Airplay device does not involve VPN even to the > station (e.g. wired locally to LMS) ?
The VPN is only in place to connect my computer in the office to my home server to listen music here. It's a SqueezePlayer running on Windows. All Airplay devices are at home, without any VPN and all with a direct wired connection to my home network (including my servers). I've checked the three servers in the .pls file. Two are located in the US (~100ms ping time), one is in Amsterdam/Netherlands with 14ms ping time. I've now changed the link in LMS from the .pls link to the direct stream links, so I can exclusively choose the server and LMS does not all this negotiating when starting the playback to get the best server. It seems the "best" server might not be the best server. The Netherlands is quite close to Germany where I'm located, the ping is ways better but this stream seem to face issues by lagging for sometimes more than 10 seconds. I see at least >2 packets every second in the wireshark traces (more than 1.5 kilobyte ... I'd have expected less for a 128 kBit/s AAC stream), but if the playback is fine that can be seen constantly. The huge gaps, if occurring, causes the hickups in playback. The US server, even with a 7 times worse ping ran pretty stable without any issues during the afternoon. I'll play around a bit with the different servers and let you know the outcome. Maybe the NL server is the issue ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netmax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67551 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108282 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
