The LMS server PC does all the work of HLS which means any delays from BBC will be at LMS. The only 6 difference between Touch and Classic is that Classci needs transcoding from AAC to Flac. HLS packets shpoudl be arriving within 500ms so 2000ms delays is not great - that said get 15000msec delay at least once per day with DASH. The fact that you have problem with Classic vs Touch indicate there maybe a second underlying issue with your setup. Either or possibly a bit of both (i) CPU / LMS server problem which means cannot transcode AAC to Flac in realtime. (ii) Network problems which cannot handle multiple Flac streams (especially if synced). Please clarify whether the rebuffering is happening when one and only one Classic player is playing or it only occurs when you have mulitple players playting (not necessarily same stream) which may or may not be synced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
