I did try both buffer sizes and and no bitrate limiting. Since others are able to use the iPeng player successfully over VPN, it is something peculiar to my setup. Since the problem is more in a moving car, it has something to do with connectivity. Since I have no difficulty streaming smoothly to other applications and the problem is exaggerated if a co traveler attempts a search, it suggests that iPeng player is more dependent on a consistently good two way connection and a responsive server. Your explanation that iPeng is controlled by the server then leads me to the conclusion that I need to improve the performance of LMS at home. Thank you so much for answering and keeping this wonderful system alive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ guptaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21096 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
