What is the bit rate of your ISP link 320kbps to have dropouts due to ISP would mean having an ISP link of less than 1Mbps ? What version of LMS *& OS ? Some older version of LMS (i.e pre 7.9.3) have bugs which caused stuttering problem especially on Windows based LMS systems. I think it would be worthwhile to spend a bit of time first understanding your setup. For example, * if the player cannot play AAC natively then changing DASH feed speed will not change anything as Flac is being sent by LMS * If the LMS is running on a underpowered old PC - then encoding into Flac may be causing problems. Problem may not be the source but an intermediate step. For non UK - only two speeds are offered 96kbps & 48kbps. Lazily, I had assumed UK was also offered two speeds. The problem is the available speed that are offered by BBC are not known until stream starts so selection would have to be something "play stream with rate less than xxx". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
