I can only provide advice when DASH is the preferred format and any solutions I offer relate only to DASH. You don't say but I suspect this is a "Live" only issue since you are using a Favorite. Can you confirm you get no startup delay with on-Demand. Since you are using Boom and Receiver transcoding is needed with AAC format. This is a Windows issue specifically the way transcoding has to be implemented (i.e using socketwrapper). Windows does something weird in interprocess buffering and seems to needs lots more data than Linux or OSX. I suggest increase the BBCiPlayer setting "Seconds to delay start live stream" to 1 min and see if it improves as this will increase the amount of data quickly available to player shortly after pressing play. The "LIve" Stream from RadioTime are in MP3 lower bitrate (also available in BBCiPlayer menu) and BBC says will discontinue them in the future. No transcoding with MP3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409
