I have installed piCorePlayer 2.02 on an RPi1b+ and have problems when listening to web radio. The LMS is on a separate RPi3 running max2play, with music stored locally, and connected to my router via cable. The client RPi1b+ is connected via a TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 USB WiFi dongle as I have no cabling options in the room where it is located.
When streaming music (FLAC, MP3) from the LMS server, there is no problem at all, everything reacts swiftly and no dropouts etc. However, when I try to listen to web radio, it doesn't work. I get 5-10 seconds of radio, then approximately 1 minute of silence, folllowed by another 10 seconds radio sound etc. I am wondering why I get this problem, because before I installed pCP 2.02, I used to run Volumio on the exact same hardware without any problems at all when streaming radio. I have tried to modify buffer settings in pCP, but that does not seem to make any difference. However, I am not sure I know how to optimize buffer sizes, so it has mostly been trial-and-error-based so far. I could of course install Volumio again, but I like pCP better. I think the problem must be related to the connection or the buffers, because i can stream radio from the same server to a Squeezebox Duet in another room without any problems. On the other hand, it does not seem to make sense to me as I think much more data would be need to be transferred when playing FLAC than when streaming radio. Any suggestions for how to proceed with the troubleshooting would be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jens Erik Jensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62736 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
