Before you go down the Linux router - you can try increaseing "prefetch"
whgich may buy some time and so minimise the effect of delays.
In the HLS.pm file - there is a line near the top
Code:
--------------------
use constant PRE_FETCH => 1; # number of chunks to prefetch
--------------------
Stop LMS, edit the HLS.pm file and change the 1 to 2 or possibly 3 or 4
- then restart LMS. See if it makes a difference.
