"Buffering" will appear when a player reports to LMS that it has no data to play in its buffer (can't remember which buffer "undecoded" or "decoded"). When a player is synced the audio stream will go through LMS but when a player is not synced - the stream may be played directly by the player - if conditions are right. If, for test purposes, you can play a stream directly by the player (i.e audio goes straight from Station to player - not through LMS) and no "Buffering" occurs then it is likely LMS can be considered part of the problem. If when playing directly "buffering" still appears -then "network" is the problem. As Transporter cannot play AAC natively and no older SB player can handle HTTPS - a test stream has to be a HTTP/MP3 stream with no redirection to HTTPS. LMS setting also important (before changing, please record and report the current settings for reference) - the player must be unsynced - WebUI Settings/Player/Audio/Streaming method is set to "Direct Streaming" - WebUI Settings/Advanced/Network/Streaming mode for HTTPS is set to "Normal" - WebUI Settings/Advanced/Filetypes MP3 - Native To confirm playing the stream a test run can be done using player.source set to INFO to confirm that stream is being played direct. As a further check on network health for unusual items such as errors, timeouts, retransmissions etc.. I don't know PCP that well so there may be a btter command. Can you post a dump before and after a test of /proc/net/netstat The output can be made pretty later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116117 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
