andy, i really appreciate the reply, but as i said the problem is NOT evident on winamp or anywhere else. it only started with me installing 6.5 and as best as i can tell, its not a coincidence.
i run the shoutcast servers for the station, and we've not had any issues i am aware of. i know the .pls streams are mp3 encoded, as i set them up btw. this seems to me to be a SB issue in the firmware. as a test, i fired up the stream in winamp. i then powered up the SB2 and told it to play the stream while connected to SS. while winamp STILL plays fine, the SB2 eventually stutters. and its a strange stutter, its as if its catching up, skipping ahead, but it never catches up fully. and, if i stop the SB, and then restart the stream, (using power or just the play button alone) the problem is gone until the next time it starts a few minutes (or whatever) later. (it does the same thing with SN, but it takes longer, esp later at night) i don't install beta software, but i will install it when its released, (which i hear is soon) and i will report then. if ultimately it is a net congestion issue, then why doesn't winamp do it? is it because of this new way of sending the stream right to the device? is it b/c the device might not have a big enough mem buffer for conditions other than perfect net? if so, for problems such as this, we need a way to force the stream to SN or SS first, which in turn will properly feed the SB without the stutter, (like winamp). thanks, -mdw -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.0 - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28392 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
