I've had rebuffering issues of late as well, but have managed to fix them. I was tempted to blame the 7.3.x upgrades, but turns out it's been a combination of other factors.
First, I've been slowly building my FLAC collection, with new music as well as reripping some CDs to FLAC. The rebuffering issues invariably arose when playing FLAC tracks. Problems likely would have popped up earlier for me had I not been playing mostly mp3s until recently. Second, I bought a new, larger LCD TV earlier this year. The SB3 and router that I have next to it (and was next to the old set) started having the rebuffering problems not long after I replaced the TV. I didn't connect the dots at first (for some reason everything worked fine for a week or two, but maybe I wasn't playing the SB3 much during that time...new toy and all), but I finally switched from a wireless connection to a wired one and fixed that problem. Must have been interference from the new set. Third, the SBR in my billiards room developed the same problem a few weeks later. Hooked it up to a powerline adapter (which the PC hosting SC is now on since I discovered the issue with the TV), and that didn't fix the problem. Replaced it with a spare SB3...still had issues. Finally checked the throughput on the powerline adapter and realized it was worse than a good wireless connection. Finally moved the SB3 to the other side of the bar where it has a clear line of sight to the router (which I'd moved from behind the TV to a shelf I built over it when trying to fix Problem #2). Problem solved. I guess the moral to the story is that even after months of faithful service, something new gets entered into the mix and can screw up what has been a reliable network. I've had other issues pop up, too...my wife's treadmill will draw so much power it makes my powerline adapters worthless when it comes to streaming music, new devices added to the network has messed it up, etc. My advice to anyone experiencing these issues is to explore EVERY possible source of network problem before blaming the software. I have umpteen examples of that being the case for me. -- GeeJay ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GeeJay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65719 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
