It's only a problem if your network (or it's associated hardware) is weak/limited. Some people can stream HD movies over WiFi while someone else may get buffering and playback issues streaming simple mp3's. Wiring the server is always the best practice to avoid the "double WiFi hop" of server & player. Making simple/basic WiFi tweaks can eliminate most issues. I can stream full WAV's to four SqueezeBox players simultaneously from LMS running on a WiFi laptop. While others must have a wired server to get any reliable playback at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85993 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
