Im having serious problems with re-buffering on my Squeezebox Touch. Its started since I replaced my old WinXP desktop PC with a new Windows 7 one. The PC runs SBS and holds all my music in FLAC files.
With the old PC, I never had the SBT re-buffer once in all the months I used it. With the new one, it happens about once every two or three tracks. Always the same pattern the re-buffering starts, gets to about 4%, stays at that for maybe 30-40 seconds, then says "Re-buffering failed" and the music continues to play. But when it has happened maybe four times during a session, then it doesnt resume playing and I have to exit play mode and restart. The PC is hard-wired to my router (Netgear WNR2000) but the music is sent to the SBT wirelessly. The signal strength at the SBT is not great at 45 50%, but this always worked perfectly with the old PC. Also the fact that internet radio via MySB.com works fine, makes me convinced this problem is to do with the new PC as thats the only thing in my setup that has changed. The PC has a static IP address. I have tried clearing out the cache on SBS this made no difference. I havent tried connecting the SBT via Ethernet didnt see the point as I cant use it that way, its got to be wireless due to the position of my hi-fi and PC. I have read that large artwork files can cause buffering problems, but I always use small ones - JPGs never larger than 500x500. Has anyone got any suggestions? The SBT really is unusable as it is its back to the CD player for me if I cant fix this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cass's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57121 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96656
