I still very much like to use LMS for podcasts. I agree however, that item 1) from the above list from Paul is VERY annoying! And it is so hard to consistently replicate.... Sometimes it plays just for some minutes, sometimes 1/2 hour, sometimes all.... I was hoping that there is light at the end of the tunnel, when @philippe_44 fixed something for the Radio Paradise Plugin, which sounded it could maybe apply for this Podcast issue as well. https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108189-Announce-Radio-Paradise-Lossless-Streaming-(Plugin-v2)&p=958160&viewfull=1#post958160 but there was no real follow up. I still hope that at some point this can be fixed. (The download 'band-aid' proposed in aboves thread is no solution for me due to my LMS setup...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimhase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31958 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111585 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
