Yeah, I was beginning to suspect a CPU / network bottleneck - to answer the specific point, it happens when one and only one Classic is playing. I do normally have some other applications running on the Windows Server box (mainly IP camera recording) so I shut them down so the only thing running is LMS - it's a quad core AMD Phenom (2.2Ghz) with 4GB of RAM, CPU load is around 2-10% and total RAM usage is around 60%, with LMS taking 160Mb, so hardly touching the sides of the server. Yet the re-buffering problem still occurs in the first few minutes of connecting to a BBC stream. I have another server in the house - an old WHS box - when I get time I'll set up another instance of LMS on it and see if the BBC streams work any differently on it. Anything else spring to mind?
