thanks @bpa. the two eitehrnet switches mentioned below (A & B) are the same for the rPi and the Transporter LMS: Cable modem > Router > ethernet switch A (unmanaged) > in wall cable > ethernet switch B (unmanaged) > rPi4B with attached USB drive Transporter: Cable modem > Router > ethernet switch A (unmanaged) > in wall cable > ethernet switch B (unmanaged) Transporter > preamp > amp > speakers The radio is a bit different. Cable modem (same) > Router (same) > ethernet over powerline adapter >.......electrical lines...... > 2nd ethernet over powerline > Radio The word "buffering with percentage count up" shows upon the screen of either the CONTROLLER or the SqueezePlay "screen" (I still use squeezeplay as a controller on my windows laptop, controlling the TRANSPORTER). Seems to be true buffering (as in, after rebuffering it may pick up from exactly where it left off, as compared with a true loss/gap in audio). A couple other points: 1. I get the buffering even when the Transporter and Radio are not synced, and the Radio is not playing at all (but it is still connected to the ethernet over power converters) 2. I don't get the buffering playing local files. Of course the buffering is so intermittent that I can't be 100% sure it doesn't happen with local files, as I haven't tried that for an all day period.
