v1.4.9, set to Dash -> HLS, highest bit rate which gets me 320kbps AAC. Playing to Receiver so transcoding to FLAC. LMS 7.8.0 with the bug fixed faad.exe. Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz server, 2GB RAM, WHS v1, 5400rpm 2.5" WD blue system drive. Starting play BBC 2 live I get about half a second of music immediately I press play, followed by maybe a second of rebuffering and then it plays stable with no rebuffering at all for hours on end. Broadband is FTTC 79.6/19.9 with Andrews & Arnold, though I'm not using IPv6 for DNS. WHS v1 DNS caching is disabled (service disabled), DNS server for my entire house network is set to a Raspberry Pi I have running dnsmasq, this caches but ultimately refers out to google public DNS servers which are faster than my ISPs at responding. I'm not particularly complaining about the 68 seconds delay, but you asked so I told you. It's a bit of a shame, but the audio quality of 320kbps AAC is fantasic (better even than FM) and the convenience of LMS is wonderful, so I'll put up with a 68 second delay to get those benefits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104672 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
