bpa >>> I've done the test as you suggested with mplayer direct, and it performed just as you described, as the buffer gradually depleted. This was with BBC Radio 4 at about midnight (so very off-peak!). As I understand what you said, this is a characteristic of local network servers, and I guess I am therefore stuck with it. So using my digital radio looks like the best bet! Thanks very much for the painstaking diagnostics on this - I'm glad to have a convincing account of the phenomena, even if it's not a fix.
Very best wishes. -- Diana -- Diana ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Diana's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7463 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28257 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
