The problem is, that the Synology will probably not be powerful enough to do mp3 encoding in time so you get stuttering simply because part of the data is missing. Caching doesn't help if the server isn't up to it. iPeng does already now stretch caching of _streams_ pretty much to what makes sense with the Squeezebox protocol. That other thing was about a completely local playback with playlist syncing/caching. You could turn off the bitrate limiting altogether over 3g (note that you HAVE to use iPeng's setting, the one in the server's web interface will not work) but that's obviously only good for mp3 since with FLAC the bandwidth requirement is too high.
That's also why you don't have any issues in that foreign WiFi network, there the bitrate limit if off by default. You could try to replace "lame" with shine on the Synology, that's supposed to have enough performance: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Shine_for_transcoding > > To my surprise, the iPhone player entry was not available.

To get what you want, you could use the "Switch Player" plugin which will then show up in the player settings. It allows you to move a playing stream to another player while it's playing. Another option would be to simply sync the players and then turn off the Touch and turn on the iPhone. > > I haven't tested this out, but am I correct in assuming that at least > the playcount would get updated for the song no matter where you played > it? > Yes. iPeng just behaves like another Squeezebox. > > I'm still getting acquainted with the base iPeng app, but I already like > it loads better than the stock one. Thanks! I like to hear that :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 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
