Well, you were right and I was totally wrong. I had thought that your comment on delays occurring early on meant it must be a problem on my own PC, and did not see what else it could be. Having seen the flac.exe I/O counts go up and down in sync with playing the source I could not see what else could be happening other than Norton buffering the output. I uninstalled all security software. No change. I Re-installed it. No change. I thought to look at the network traffic using the Windows Task Manager. Sure enough, when I start the source, network traffic though my PC network card goes up almost instantaneously, but nothing comes of the Touch for delays between 10 sec to 2 minutes. When I stop the source, network traffic stops almost immediately, but sound still comes out of the Touch. So, either the Touch itself is buffering a lot for some reason, or the stream is going elsewhere and coming back later. I'm on Ethernet, not wireless. I will later try disconnecting myself from the outside world just to make sure I'm not sending Mahler to MI5 (I need to get others off the 'net first). I have a suspicion that some scrobbling may have been occurring. I never looked at this, having zero interest in it, but I did find it on in the Touch (I've never touched it as far as I'm aware). Are there other buffering options in the Touch? I can't find any. -- PasTim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
